THEY ARE TURNED AWAY UNsAr1sP1ED.-
During the recent storms the rear portions
of our city were Overfiowed to such an ex
tent that q great many families lost nearly
everything they had and their gardens were
ruined. These people naturally feel that
they are entitled to share il the donations
contributed for the overfowed, and call on
the relief committee for assistance, but are
told that there is nothing for them, the
committee having SO decided. If the con-
tributi0ns from the United States are for
any body, they are for those who are IN dis
tress by reason Of an extraordinary disas-
ter. Can not the committee reconsider it's
action so far as the United States rations
are concernedi The condition of these resi-
dents calls for some prompt action.
SEEING A WoRKMAN's TOOLs.-Justices
| of the peace and their cOnstables do not
| seem to hold act No. IL as worthy of their
| notice, but now there is fair prospect
| that the cOnstables have met their match
An order of provisional seizure was issued
from the Third Justice Court for the consta-
bic to execute, as q judgment had been
rendered against y: B. Benedict, keeper of
barber shop at No. 25S Canal street. He
states that the money he owed wac not due
until the last day Of this month, and that
he had not given any other security than
his word for payment, the sum in question
being $35.
immediately after Judgment was rem
dered against him, q deputy constable ap-
peared. and began to take away such arti-
cles as suited him, although Mr.. Benedict
warned the officer not to do it, calling his
attention to the new law. Among the arti-
cles taken were some which are actually
necessary to defendants profession
ly q violation. Mr.. Benedict would proba-
bly, have been justified had he knocked
the cOnstables head the moment he laid q
finger on the tools. If the case is as has
been represented, Mr.. Benedict will warm
somebody, legally, and make an example
which will not oe forgotten in day.
