The Mayor of our city sentenced, this
week, several boys to the Jail for ten
days. 1t seems the thoughtless boys,
about twelve years old, had been proWl-
ling round the shops and picking up pie
Ces of brass, and selling to parties in or
der to gets little change for one purpose
or another. The real leader Of the
gang, it seems, getting wind of the affair,
got away, and Of course the most inno-
cent Of the cubs were caught, and must
suffer the penalty, Were we the Mayor
in such case, it would take a fagrant
case indeed that could induce MS to dis
grace young lads of that age by sending
them to Jail We seriously doubt the
necessity or propriety Of such work, 80
far as the boys are concerned, Parents
may deed an admonition, to Induce th:;m
to see that their boys are properly cared
for, and not growing up to be street va
grants and reprobates, The evenings at
home should be made pleasant, agreea-
BILE and profitable, by books, study and
conversation. Mothers, especially should
see to this, and also see that their boys
are regular attendants at school. We do
not wish to censure the Mayor, but re-
gret that he could not see his way to in
flict upon the lads a sentence more seas
oned with reason and mercy. "The
quality of mercy is not strained it drop
peth as the gentle rain from heaven upon
the place beneath" Ever let mercy sea-
uon instire

past counterfeit silver coin has been extensively
circulated in this vicinity and the showers Of the

Msssillon man passed some spurious half dollars

lodged against him. Armed with warrant,
