Every city is subjectod to spasnis of virtue. Local authorities, when the evil stalks fortb too publicly, 6ets out to uproot it, and, for the timo being succeeds. But it doen not last long as every person acquainted with its history in populous towus, knowe. Public opinión in this regard has boon aroused in this city. It is rare to fiud (i city like it where temptations are so readily and welcomely received by a large class of young men, removed from home restraints.
