Upon the complaint Of one of our
most wealthy citizens a number of the
young Americans, Of this city, were
brought before Justice Hasler on Fri
day last to receive lesson in good
manners. 1t seems that number of
the boys have had such defective
home training as to be entirely without
manners, and void of all respect and
reverence for old age, and have come

to and fro speaking their praises, and the
best livery Of our metropolitan stables

aye, and the defeated candidates are
gone too. Gone to their shops and
stores, while others nestle in the warm
places which all could not possibly get.
Sad! Sad !! Sad!!!
