Since then we have been personally waited
upon by Mr.. jarrett, who has assured us that

CORNER LoUNGING. - Any one going
through our streets, by day or BY nioht cannot
help remarking the great number oil loaters who

would content themselves with merely idllng
their time and blocking the passage of the
streets; but they take advantage to insult
passersby particularly ladies, when unaccom-
panied by protectors. These rowdies have
become an ''in stitutionD in orr cities and IL
would seem an almost hopeless task 70 do away
with the practice. A feg made sever examples
of might deter Others from ANNOYING our c tlzens
