the morals of our borough anything but credta-
BILE, and that crime is on the increase. Daring the
past year various robberies have been committed
and citizens attacked, knocked down and robbed on
the streets So far all offenders have escaped pun
ishment, with but few exceptions. This is owing
to the want of proper vigilance on the part of the
officers, OF shrking ofduty. As new officers are to
be elected to-day, (FridayJ we hope soon to see a
reform. The borough authorities should see to this
matter at once, and make the proper provisions to
check any further depredations- strong police
force should be organized. whose duty it should be
TO rid the town Of all offenders against law and
