any person has ever been arrested for violating
this law, by any OF the police7 Is it not time
an example should be made in order to prevent
any serious accident from happening to our citi-
zens Yesterday afternoon, q gang Of boys threw
a sharp flint rock with sling, at q citizens win
dow, which broke a large pane Of glass. and
came very nigh seriously wounding one OF his
daughters, who was sitting by 1t, giving her =
severe fright. The city taxes are high enough
in all conscience, something should be done by
the authorities, to prevent additional taxes, and
perhaps loss Of come valuable life in this way
