Complaints have been made by citi.
zens in some portions of the city that par
ties going out on one or other of the little
lakes in the lower portions Of the city
amuse themselves by discharging fire arms
of various descriptions at most any time of
the day night and without much regard
to the direction in which the weapon may
be pointed. Theisound of the explosion
under ones window, either at the dead Of
night or at noon, is bad enough, bat the |
peculiar whistling noise of the deadly lead |
is more disagrecable still. The officers of |
the city have resolved that "the moonlight
on the lakes" Cor the sunlight either,
must yoT be marrcd by the fash of fire
arms, and they will surely bring to grief
any and all who may be caught violating
this noble resolution.
