THE SHANGHAI NUISANCE.
[lO THE EDITOR.] Sir, —Sitting in my front room with the window open on Saturday afternoon, I saw two respectfully dressed lads df School age pass by. One, who held a shanghai in his hand loaded with a stone, said to his mate (not knowing he was overheard). “Half a mind to have a shot at that chimney and kilodk tile top off it.’ 1 But he did not and let fly aloiig the street instead. My iieighbour has only recently had his chimney raised a couple of feet and a cowl put on at some expense, so that had the boy done as he purposed, I should promptly have demanded his name and had him up before the Magistrate. I am, etc., HOUSEHOLDER.
