THROWING BRICKS.-On last Monday nSES, as
Policeman Troy was performing his duty Us door
sentinel in front Of the Guard House, brick was
thrown at him from the other side of the street,
with such force as to leave portion of it adherng
to the jamb of the door, against which it struck,
passing just over his head. Had the policeman
been 80 unfortunate as to have been hut by this
missile he would, no doubt, have been seriously
if not fatally injured.
The scoundrel who took this cowardly way to
hurt most excellent man made his escape so
expe ltously that no trace could be discovered OF
him, though immediate search was made
