EfronterY.

A case of eflrontery was recently
shown in a London court, which is
rather remarkable for the callousness of
the offender. A woman applied to the
Court for n small sum of money from
the poor box, sufficient to establish n
fruit stand. The judge objected, on the
ground that he knew nothing about her.
upon which the woman cody assured
him that she was far from being a
stranger in that court, explaining that
twice she had been sent for trial from
that place, and on each occasion, she as
sured the Judge, with a cheerful smile.

admitted, she had served short sentences
in jails for dishonest practices, but was
tired of being n steady ledger in prisons

chance, try to make an honest living.
The Judge, strange to say, directed that
she should receive the required assist

Cutting OFF Water Without Noulce.


Ett1ItOT ! GtutcttCOT.

70 I write through your paper to enquire how

Staunton is to be taxed by the failure of Mr..
Moore, the party in charge of the water pipes
to do his plain duty. have been informed
by member of the Council, that there is, if
not an ordinance, at least direction to him
to notify housekeepers, who are to be affected
by it, of the cutting off of water from their
premises: This, Mr.. Moore has failed to do
at ALL in the last two years the water has
been cut off from my hydrant at least q dozen
times, and in no single instance has he given
the slightest notice. This, singularly enough
has happened for the most part on Mondays,
generally wash day, and the inconvenience
therefore is the greater. If the Council, as I
am informed they have, and as Mr.. Moore
acknowledged to me they had. have made it
the duty of this officer to notifysparties, then
Mr.. Moore does not do his duty, and the plain
duty of the Council out of respect to their
own authority and the comfort of the public,
is to remove him and fill his place with some
| one who is not above doing the work for which
he is paid. Unless the Council look into this
matter it is likely that the proverbially ceru-
lean tint of Monday may become deeper, and
the outraged women of the city will require
their SO called lords to ask these city fathers
an inficient servant, than to attend to Their
comfort, to step down and out
