en- hundred feet long, and begins on the

ties into the big ditch on the east side of
Front street The sewer is oval-shaped,
twenty-five inches high by eighteen in
ches broad, and has pipes running into 1t
from each side to insure thorough drain

A number of small colored boys were
observed indulging in game of some
e kind for money, near the platform of the
1 J.. T. & K. w. railroad, few days
:, since, during which a dispute arose and
profane language and approbious cpl
r thets INDUCED in, regardless of passers-
| bv. An attempt at reproof would have
caused and impudent reply. These bold,

ceive the attention of the police, and if

chain-gang, and a reformation may thus
be effected.

! a gun OF pistol in the hands of some one
whose corpus was surchaged with fire

exactly faultless, and some worthy cltl

es they may be able to ''collar" an otfende
and replenish their depleted excheque
k with the ''scads," restore to the neigh
e. borhood its wonted quiet, and receiv
praise for their vigilance and bravery.
