BAD BoYs.-There are in our city, as in allothers
number OF boys who, without any restraint upon
them at home, roam the streets at will. and can
be met in parties at all times Of night as vel as
day. Many Of the petty thefts, and some Of the
larger robberies, we have no doubt, they have
hand in, for they are the principal customers Of
the junk shops, and often supply them with
valuable articles Of copper. braps, &C., for few
cents, just sufficient to buy loaf Of bread or per-
haps tobacco and pipe-for this is luxury they
all indulge in. They surround the doors Of hall
where there may be exhibition, and their riotous
conduct and improper language at these places
can only be checked by the appearance Of police
man, and even this, on some occasions, has not
been entirely efectual in repressing their nisbe-
havlour. One Of the most disgusting employ
ments OF these young scamps is the writing Of
improper and obscene language npou the wallis
and fences on the Streets and for which, II detect
cd, they should receive severe punishment In
our police report this morning it will be observed
that case Of this kind, as well as that Of junk
shop keeper for dealing with minor, has been
acted upon by the Mayor, who We feel satisfied,
viii do all he can to create . reformation among
these Improper behaved yoz.tha, 90 FAR aa 9ne and
imprisonment can effect it. We hope to See more

A MARCH WMDs.-The clustering character OF
March was dispalyed yesterday in manner that
proved to our blinded community that his vaunted

gathered at the corner of Broad and Meeting streets
and endeavored to calculate how high the Sind
really was, but owing to the dust in their eyes they
: were unable to make any accurate Observations.
BY far the larger portion bent to the storm. and
with haH-closed eyes blundered along, seeking to
avoid the clouds Of dust that were whirled
fercely in every direction. This was peculiarly
noticeable on the business thoroughfares for. in
spite OF the efforts Of the watering carts, dust
proved itself mighty and did prevail. Aside
from this disagreeable feature, the Spring
