Editor; Wi.l y >u aliow me to ask hew tlie people ean £rt rid or s great and growing annoyance? while honest industrious people, Iste in the night,are sweetly sleeping,some passing heartless ruffian, who no doubt il inks himself smart, hal!eo* some family awake, calls some one to the door and asks some foolish question, and if answered, makes some vulgar remark and tells the person “to go to bed”. Sometimes snch fellows will call up several families the same night for no par pose bat to worry them. A few nights since, the writer’s family was awakend by a couple of these felows who asktd: ‘-how far il wks to Remington’’?“ls it north or south”? being answered one of them suid “All right thank yon”. They call sd a half dozen times before any one got np and went to the door, when they abused him in language too vulgar to be written. Now what can be done to abate such evil? If there is no law to protect honest people against such smart sells, some one will be tempted to make a law for such cases. Hay be ifsncli smart chaps are given a hint thui such a practice is becoming unendur able they will conclude to puss people’s bous es quietly in the dend o night. May be mersl suasion will ure this evil.—One Of The Sold.
