The (" oRiEyAEcE" is, that they write too
much about nothing, and leave important mat
,ers untouched. We invite them to scribble

DRUNxENNEss- ONE or IT'S FRUITS On
Saturday last, three men, wearing Uncle Sans
livery, were seen staggering along .Pennsylva-
MIA Avenue, in q beassly state Of intoxicauon-
On arriving at first street they called halt,
and shortly afterwards two Of them staggered
along First street, north. with their persons
moot shamefully exposed. Such,9 indeed,
was their indecency, that we cannot insult
the community with description Of their ex-
posures Cannot the "powerst that be" restrain
those wearing the national uniform? If they
cannot " stop their grog," they might, al least,
compel them TO act like gentlemen (however
much they may incline to play the blackguard) ,
on the public streets. 4,Js93 .s75 sti.gp ml
