Coxcxxr Po~rroxKp.-Ths readers OF

ciaed 10 postpone the concert until some

To TnKIR CREDIT. PARTIES who read
the monthly report Of city jailer smith,
Of Virginia. in the NEWS to-day. may
perhaps be inclined to wonder that some
Of the regular police officers did not
make moro arrests during the montn.
This is explained by the fact that some
Of the officers. instead Of taking every
drunken man they ind ON the streets 10
the station house. frequently convey
them to their homes. thereby saving the
city from needless expense. Many men,
who cannot be called bad. are in the
habit Of getting rather fall at times,
therefore we think the action oil the puo-
lie officers coumendable.
MAkcHEp SEPARArxLY.--The members
Of tho Mouldsrs' and Machinists'
Union in this section. who attended the
funeral Of A. p. Hornick 10 day.
marched in the funeral procession sepa-
rately from any other order. although
many Of them belonged TO other socis-
ties. They wished TO pay especial honor
TO their late friend and comrade.
