many dead-falls that intest our town, be-
| came slightly uproariousr and was naboed
/ bv the aiis-dl-uuap. \ citizen requested
! 10 be- allowed the privilege OF carrying nm
home, but they threatened 10 arrest him
| also. The man was released TO appear ut 7
o'clock yesterday morning, which he did, and
/ was then told 10 come ut IL 0 clock, which he
/ did, and found no one 10 attend TO his case
| Who was 10 blame. The magistrate IN not at
/ tending, or the policeman for not notifying
! him.
! We have often been asked what was the
| amount of revenue for the town Of Manches-
ter and how il was expended; but not being
| i'm the secret, we have of course been unable To
/ ans wer We leave the solution Of this pro
hlrm TO those who have the handling Of the
| town loayes and fishes, and if not In conflict
with the public good, they will, doubtless, US
| the scryrnts Of the people, be pleased TO give
| all the desired information.
We have lately had II dozen or more men TO
| leave undone what one man used 10 perform
! These men called themselves police and now
| that they have been decreased, and the drain
on the town treasury lessened, we trust thai
this will no longer be an excuse Tor refusing
| TO make the streets passahle
