mayors CoUnr, January 1s.-Henry Smith, q
gay and festive young man Of dark complexion,
who had been participating in tho ssmazy dance"
at splendid ball in Elliott street. and there salu-
ting Sarah Brown, 8. dusky maiden, by lick on
41,~I
very fantastic heel, was fined S. for his ungallant
conduct
An individual who had, sa,,s cerc1,eo,,ic, walked
into boarding house, and gono up stairs to bed
with all the gravity of an old LOGGER, bat who had
been uncovered and brought ont by the aid Of the
police, was discharged, as it was supposed an
overdose of wbiskey had made him get SO high.
A five dollar bill, which had been left to answer
for another Bill who had been on bust, was ex-
amincd and found to be SO good that it was re-
tanned and put into the service Of the city.
One or two other cases, which are to be examn-
ed into, concluded the business Of the day.
STREET BEGaARs.-We have heard from moro
than one source, that our citizcns are being con-
s1doraby annoyed, at the pre- cnt time, by men
and women knocking Mt their doors and ringing
their bells, generally at meal times ard when tho
summons is answered by servant q soiled writ
tc1 pspor or greasy book is scat in from some ono
begging for money. These appeals are generally
accompanied by certificates, signed with imagi-
nary names, giving doleful account of tho suffer-
ngs and wants Of the petitioner but as this is IN
old dodge which, We hope, tho people know too
well, we don't think the presentation of such doc
uments benefits them much. Wo are afraid how
ever, that the mistrcsses OF houses suffer most
from these Interruptions while engaged in domes-
tic affairs, and would hint to the police to keep
an eye on these vagrants, and to prevent them as
much as possible from disturbing families. While
We know that want does exist in the community,
and that a great many persons, as Of yore, have
hearts filed with charity, still the large means
that number onco possessed, they have no long.
er, and tho small amounts they are now able to
give are properly bestowed upon those Of our own
people, whose poverty they well acquainted
with. 1t will be long time before the inhabitants
OF any southern city will be able to supply visiting
beggars either with capital or travelling expenses
and therefore We would advise all such to compli-
ment some other portion Of the country with their
presence.
