MARY SULLIvAN.-This woman, the mother
OF two interesting children, has been arrested
very often during two years past for drunk
enness and disorderly conduct. Her children
have saved her from the penalty of the law in
nearly every case. Monday night she was again
locked up in the Fourth Ward station, and
Justice Giberson concluded that justice to her
children demanded her committal to the work.
house. Her presence with them while at large
serves no good purpose, but on the contrary,
tends to degrade them, and is great obstruc-
bers Of society. The youngest child was with
her when arrested, and yesterday was sen5
with her to the workhouse for thirty days.
The child is safe there.

brick.yard, and taken before Justice Boswell,
when the two former ruled their cases for g.
heaTing, and the latter were fined $40 each.
Mr.. Eliason has suffered severely by boys
breaking up his bricks in his yard, and es.i-
mates that over $1,000 worth have been de-
stroyed within several months past.
THE OLD RAG DKpoTs.-The police are
beginning to enforce the law of the Corporation
approved February Goth, 1864, prohibiting the
storage Of old rags or bones within TWO hundred
feet Of any dwelling house other than the
