| UswARRAYTED INsoLENCE.-For some
time past our attention has been called to
the insolent and uncalled for mpertlnence
of the individual who is engaged in taking
passengers across the river at night, after
the ferry boat stops running. He seems to
know altogether too much for the position.
In fact, he knows Just when people ought to
cross far better than they know themselves,
and insists that they shall conform 70 his
ideas, he has been in the habit of making
respectable people wait until he could gather
treats, and has made people wait altogether
too long. when he knew they were an xious
to cross, probably to show his importance.
Last evening, the wives and daughters of
several of our citizens went over to Daven
port to attend the closing exercises at the
Sisters of Charity School, and on arriving
at the ievee after the exercises, waited some
THE after signalling for the skitf They
finally became tired OF waiting and obtained
Il skiff 10 take them over. just as the
ladies we're getting into the skiff, this indi
vIdual came up, and, seeing
what vas going on, told them to
get out and get into his boat and
at the same time showed their sklff out into
the river. gentleman of the party inter.
fered and they came to blows. Had it not
been for the presence Of the ladies', this im-
pertinent fellow would have received the
chastisement he so richly deserved. This is
the second occurrence of this kind within
two weeks, to say nothing of the other and
numerous transactions which call for imme
date interference. If the ferry company
cannot instruct their men so they will
accommodate the public in civil manner,
they can at least instruct them not to inter
fere with citizens when they are seeking
their own means of crossing. Otherwise
'hey will be justified in defending them
selves. We know of many instances where
passengers have obtained other skiffs to
e'oss' and one in particular last night, that
o1'0 nave been very unhealthy job for
Guy 'ueh Individual to have attempted to
stop Capt. Robinson, will YOU attend to
this matter?
