For the Columbian Fountain.


There has been great noise for sometime
past near the outskirts of the Northern Liber-
ties by party Of coored persons who have
taken the liberty to go about at night with va
rious instruments Of music for the purpose,
as they say, of serenading. Not suspecdng
the watchmen ever visited those parts, con-
sidering themselves perfectly safe from any
such annoyance as the watchmen, they sailed
forth on Thursday night last for the purpose
of taking a small round with their furniture
car and fine horse, blowing and whistling,
beating the banjo, cracking the bones, &C., Gin
fact, music not to be grinned at,) when, all on
a sudden, while in the height of their glee,
the watchmen pounced upon them, like lion
from his hiding place. The awful scene that
then took place is beyond description; they
deserted their music car like so many sailors
a sinking ship, and then such scampering,
such making tracks, never was SEEM but
they did not all make their escape: co. what
pity Tor the poor captves , several were
captured, together with the music car and
horse, and rode to the watch h-house.


If some other parts of the city were noticed,
say Missouri avenue, it would be well. There
are youths Of respectable families, who, of
nights and on Sabbath days, are guilty Of very
bad practices, some of which, if brought un-
der the eye Of the law, would subject the ac-
tors to severe penalty and disgrace. They have
broken windows in vacant buildings, and torn
off caps Of fences. The names Of some of
them are known, and if there is not stop put
to such conduct very soon, they will be COM
munlcated 10 the owners. A CITIZEN.
