THE UNEASY FEELING.

AT half-past 10 O'Clock last nigh,
n pedestrian was observed making
his way up B Street at a rapid gal t.
He carried in each hand a large
boulder about the size OF baby's
head. He looked around fur:ively
As he went, evidently anticipating
that any moment he might be
pounced upon bya boldup. In such
case the collision between the high
wayman's head and the two cobbles
would have been very striking. pro-
viGiug, Of course, that the gentle
man who carried rocks did not
change his mind and exhibit his
heels.
Seriously, the footpad, garotter
and burglar scare is becoming ex-
ceedingly pronounced, and is very
disseminating 10 numbers Of people.
The immunity from arrest enjoyed
10y criminals who have fioated into
our heretofore peaceful and safe city
is likely to cause the evil to be
augmented.
We are not fully in accord with
the view expressed by a COED many.
on this sugject-for the citizens
who have occasion to he abroad at
night TO go armed and shoot down
the first foOtpad who makes an at
tempt On them. Besides the La
hiliiy of the shooter TO make a mis-
take by believing he i about to be
assailed where such is not the case,
there is horrible -epugnance in the
mind Of every properly constituted
person against taking the life Of a
human being, even If the victim be
well deserving Of the treatment.
Something Of that kind Is almost
sure to happen, however. unless the
criminal crew with whom the CITY
IS now infested is not driven outby
some other ami more regular pro-
cess. In cases Of the invasion of
households by burglars there should
be no special hesitancy in using the
most extreme means OF getting rid
OF the intruders.

After supporting Greeley he became

He lives over in New Jersey some
