BAD BONS.-There are number of
boys, evidently the offscouriug Of town,
who make it a practice of loafing about
the Town Hall whenever exhibitions are
given there and not content with turning
off the gas below, running up and down
stairs, Sc, by their general conduct are
an annoyance and nuisance to the whole
DeighbOruood. An example is evidently
needed, and If the constables viii some
NIGHT make a descent on the gang, and
rive them nights lodging in Jail and
have them fined next morning, their par
ents would perhaps get their eyes opened
10 the fact that they are not training up
their children in the way they shoULd go

on Third street in the beginning OF Win
ter for the purpose of laying pipe, and
which has formed an ugly ridge all Win
Ter. ought to be attended to as soon rs the
weather will permit, as such places are
extremely dangerous to horses as the frost
disappears out of the ground. The bor-
ough authorities ought to regulate aNd dig
ring on the streets, whether by incorpor-
ated companies or individuals, by ordi
nance. and compel the pudding of all
such places is soon a. filled up.
TcE GoRGE.-Thc ice broke below the
Newton Dam during the thaw OF last
week and gorged about two miles below

set in on Saturday night stopped its fur

serious time along the river, as the ice IS
very heavy above the bridge at this place,
as well as in all the still waters and ed
dies above.

Hose Company Of this place, with aview
