FUN.-It has become quite common for mis-
chievous boys to light up the street lamps in
the morning, here and there, alter they have
been put out by the man appointed. This &C
counts to our citizens for which has looked
like carelessness on the part 'ot the gas compa-
nv and waste Of property. Boys have be- n
seen to follow on and light up as named. They
climb the lamp-posts like squirrels. This may
be fun to them; but it is an amusement that
will lead them to Imprisonment aud fine; for,
we understand, the Gas Company have resolv-
ed to deal with these offenders hereafter just
", which means punishment. So, in all kind
ness to these juveniles, we say, let this joke
cease. 1t has exhausted itself-and will be fol-
lowed, else, by realities which will make some
of the offenders wish they had been born ten
wears later. '''
