- City Police. The idea hasoften Bug.
gested itself to us whether or not our
city hnd a police force, and of what
number of men It consisted. During
the Winter nigbtB it has been our for
tune, or raibor a'misforlohe, to be on
tho streets at almost all hours from
6 p. M. to 2 A. M., and seldom have
we been able to catch Bight' of any of
those guardians' of the night. Upon
inquiry we learn that the police force
consists of two watchmen and the
City Marshal, the latter discharging
the duty of policeman from 5 a, sijo
? p. M , and the, former from 7 in the
evening to 5 in the morning. .Whether
this forco U sufficient or not to guard
public and private property, to pre
vent disturbances of jatbo peaco and
perform all other duties of their call
ing, is for tho City Council to sny. It
would look reasonable that this small
force should have their beats in the
thickly people! portions of tho nity,
and necessarily leave those beyond
almost entirely at the mercy of thieves,
who havB no mercy. Now that tho
spring travel will shortly commenco,
and With it tho usual number of
thieves and burglars, we think it
would be wise if tbo police forco Of
tho city Wus increased bo as to give
to citizens tho protection they have a
right to demand. What some people
consider economy is not always a
virtue Tho finances of our city can
stand an additional polico forcfy and

would realize tho beneficiul results in

Sidewalks. Those who have busi
ness, as well as those who rcsido at the
lower end of Second street,from Union
Btrcet to tho Creek, find it almost im
possible to get through the mud that
abounds in that loxjalHy. We believe
that the City Council passed an ordi
nance, some time since, compelling
propel ty owners to lay down side
walks, but so far as it relates to tins
stroct, it has been never carried into
effect. If tho persons whose duty it
is to soo the ordinanco enforced would
attend to this, they wffuld save an imi
menso amount of aliuse to tho City
Fathers, as Well as the growing of
thoso who reside in that part of tho
city. "
Tub Weather. Saturday nifh't
about 11 o'clock it commenced snow
ing, and the snow fell to the depth of
about two inches. All day Sanday a
heavy fog bund over the city, and tho
atmosphere was very much in tho con
dition of a sponge thoroughly satura
ted with water, -What with the rain
and tho mtkingof tho snow ourstroets
are in a horrible condition, and pedes
triapism is almost impossible. ' That
very respectable individual known as
tho "oldest inhabitant " bas no recol
lection of a winter like tho present
one. Tbo snow in theBuburbs of the
town is about a foot in depth, ad
from oil appearances it prpmlaea to
bo a very late Spring for our farmers.
