Eds. Times :-."Old Settler" having

to some extent the morals Of the Mari, ow
City, it has emboldened me to open my
mouth in the same direction. While SO
important question is under consideration
clean breast might as we'll be made; the
worst known and provided for. All that
"Old Settler" asserts and more too, being
lamentably true, there also exist ether
ulcers nearly akin to those mentioned, that
require wholesome treatment at the hands
of those having authority. 1t must be ex.
perimentally apparent to large portion
of your citizens that band Of petty thieves
and rowdies, composed mainly Of masters
and misses in our midst, is becoming very
numerous, as their frequent congregating
upon street.corners and under the windows
of citizens who are by no means entertain.
ed with their blasphemous oaths, rbald
songs, gambling prociv:ties and slang
phrases, abundantly attest. Especially
can those who have suffered in the loss OF
fruit, flowers, vegetables and other valuables
At the hands of these youthful desperadoes,

Their acts are not confined to our corporate
limits. Persons residing in the environs,
whose productive industry is credit to
themselves and . convenience to the com.
munity, also come in for a large share OF
that vandalism which is not satisfied with
taking the fruit, but must be satiated by
the destruction Of vines and shrubbery.-
We think that comparatively a small
amount Of patrolling on the part Of the
police, would lead to the discovery Of
hordes of lads, lurking about the alleys and
back fences, ready to pounce upon fave.
rite bush or tree as soon as the owners
back is turned, almost any day or night Of
the week.
The extreme severity of our state laws
in such cases, may, in some instances, have
deferred the arrest of such Offenders

There is little hope of old transgressors-
they may be temporarily driven away, but
like bad pennies liable to return to plague

We have perhaps the very best City Mar
shall that could be selected, but one man,
however efficient, is entirely inadequate to
the peace and good order of this growing
and wide awake city. At least one or two
in each ward might be exclusively and
profitably employed. We have an able
and intelligent board Of city paps, intensely
loyal to their rich old uncle Samuel; let
them be equally loyal to their children by
enacting ordinances enabling to arrest at
sight, increase the police, see to it that the
laws are executed to the letter, and who
