To - F. SIISQUEIL'iNNA.—The Susquehanna
was lower on Wednesday thou it has been
for Many . years . Our Wash i ng , on Borough
correspondent names 21 years. Another
gentlemen places it lower than in ISSI, the
year of the cholera. On Monday night
the water fell eighl, inches. The Peun'a. P.
R. Company were obliged to extend their
pipes out further into the river to enable
them to get water for the supply of their
reservoir. The "Thousand Isles" below
the dam are more prominent than they
have been for many years. Canal naviga
tion is seriously affee.ed and must proba
bly ho suspended.
Putt:.—On Friday night, the 23 inst., we
were again aroused by the alarm of fire ,
caused by the burning - of an out building
belonging to the Colored school. The fire
was extinguished before m nen damage had
been (bole. Had it not been for some of
our citizens, who aided in extinguishing
the fire, the school building might have
been destroyed. It is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary.
The firemen, as usual, were in good time
to render assistance; but it being a small
building, the citizens found no great trouble
in checking the tire, without the aid of the
hose.
A nontr.—There was a tight near the A.
IL E. Church on Saturday evening, be
tween two colored men, all about the pos
session of two dollars and a-half. One
charged the other 'with having stolen it,
and proceeded to inflict several severe
blows in further proof of his chaege. After
a little rough-aud-tumble fight, in which
the weaker sex participated orally, the
crowd dispersed.
We wonder where our "Special" police
force was, that they were not present to
keep the peace, us this riot occurred in the
neighborhood of "Tow Ilill"—their pre
cinct. It appears when their services are
most needed they are absent; and where
not required they are present.

After enjoying a few pleasailt hours at
Columbia, they took their departure for

splendid 1 eception at the hands of the Fire

CONS ?MACY AGAINST QUALIFIED Vo-
TE GS-A Fraud Attem9Ced.—Last week we
ME
" We unders•and that this conspiracy of
Grier, if successful, will disfinuchi•ie about
250 qualified voters, whose names have been
left off the Borough Assessment Book."
The amiable assistant editor or the Her
ald republishes the above, with a lot of
balder-dash about the county lists of 1569
and IS7O denying our charge, and asking
us to make the amend° honoraille. We de
cline, as we are ready to sulyaantlate it,
and therefore endorse every statement it
contains. To prove it, we invite the atten
tion of our readers to the animus of the few
choice sentences, written by assessor Grier,
in the lie? aid of the 22nd inst.
" :None of the niggers are assessed for
borough purposes, except the class above
mentioned (Free Holders,) and consequent
ly their right of suffrage for Borough offi
cers is curtaikd for this year. This being
the case, it will not require ti great effort on
the part of the democracy to elect the offi
cers above named."
Our democrattc official knows the duties of
an assessor, at least it is presumed he does ;
and that among other things ho is required
to "add to the list, the names of any quali
fied voter who shall be known to him,"
and whose names are not on previous lists.
His duty is a plain one. But the conspi
racy to defraud lies not alone with regard
to the colored people; but the names of
nearly 250 white men have been le.t off the
borough list, and among these are well
known citizens, merchants doing business
on Locust street, whom the assessor meets
almost every day. Had not the courts
interfered in this nice little democratic pro
gramme, about 400 citizens of Columbia
would have been disfrachised. Besides
these public revelations of the fradulent in
tent of our assessor, we have oth r means
knowing his participation in the business.
The whole subject sithply resolves itself
into a revolting outrage upon neaceful,law
abiding citizens, and had it not been for the
Interference of the cour,s,the election would
have gone (partially) by default.
The whole affair presents the sublime
spectable of democratic officials, asses
sor and all,tryiug to cheat the Bormgla out
of S2OO, and 400 citizens out of their just
rights. It is an unparalleled case of official
malfeasance, a democratic dodge, the like
of which has never been beard of before,ez:-

DEATH OF SHERIFF PFAIILER.—Our
readers will be pained to learn of the sud
den death of Christian Ptahler, Esq., High
sheriff of this county, which occurred at
his residence, in the York county prison,
on Seta day evening last. Sheriff Filthier
had been in his usual healtu, up to the time
of the• sad occurrence, and attended to the
alines of his office, during the day, and re
turned to his homy in the evening, and was
engaged in conversation with his brother
in-law, when he was suddenly taken ill,
and, in a few moments expired. Sheriff
Ptahler was widely and favorably known
in this county, :Lid his sudden death will
cast a gloom over many a 1 heart in our
tnidst. Ile was a good citizen, an excellent
officer, a kind ffither and husband and a
true friend. His death was cursed by dis
ease of the heart.—York Trite DCMOCrat.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—J6bn Elrotel was
arrested and t .ken before Esquire_Evans,
on Friday the fl3d inst., upon complaint of
George Badger, ror beating a horse over
the head with a club, on Tuesday and
Thursday of last week and which was re
ferred to in such strong language by our
correspondent. It being proven by a num
ber of witnesses that the defendant beat his
horse most inhumanly over the head, be
was convicted and ordered to pay a fine of
ten dollars, one-half thereof for the use of
the county, and the other hal:, at the re
quest of the informer to be paid to the
"Home" at Lancaster, and pay costs of
prosecution and stand commiited until the
sentence is complied Nvitn. The defendant
pa id the fine and costs, which amoumed to
$16.50. This is swi ft just ice, and :we hope
will have a salutary effect on :ill animal
abusers.
ENTERTAI NIUE 1. , ;T COM:J*3IMA.
The lEolian Quintette of Columbia, and
John Hart, the popular elocutionist, of this
city, gave an entertainment at Columbia,
on the evening of the gird inst., to one of
the largest and most fashionable audiences
ever assembled in Odd Fellows' Hall. It
represented the 0/Cc and intelligence of Co
ln bia. The Quintette Club rendered
their selections in exquisite sty'o, surpass
ing any former efforts, and eeelving the
most enthusiastic evidence of appreciation
by the audience. "Tommy don't go." by
T. J. Clepper, "Kiss me once more,
Mother," by B. F. Mullen, and " Go down,
Moses," by the Quartette, were very fine.
The readidgs by Mr. Hart were ably and
artistically rendered, his selections vary
ing from the grave to the comic, all very
appropriate to the occasion. His mimic
representations fairly convulsed the audi
ence. He was frequently and rapturously
encoved. His rendering of Henry Ward
Beecher's" Honored dead," the last on the
programme, was a masterly ellbrt. The
entertainment was a grand success, and
the audience left the Ball reluctantly at the
close of the performance. The proceeds
are to be devoted to erecting a tomb-stone
over the grave of Major Kelsey. Professor
Unseld, musical director, presided at the
organ, and sang, "Open the door, dear Ar
rah, for me," atm several other songs, with
fine taste and effect. Messrs. T. J. Wright,
alto, and S. B Clepper, basso, were im
mense in the humerous songs.—Express.

of our sportsmen and others, we give be
low some interesting data relative to the

Notes of Travel through Georgia
and Florida.
Mn. EDITOIC:—As all the communica
tions which have appeared in your paper
concerning Florida, have related to that
portion of the state, known as Bast Florida,
a few notes description of a trip through
the Western section of the state may not be
uninteresting to your numerous readers :
We started from Philadelphia on the oth
of August, and passing through Baltimore
and Washington, reached Richmond, Va.
about four o'clock on the morning of the
10th. The country between Richmond end
Petersburg still bears unmistakable evi
dence of the struggle which was there
maintained, and we felt that we were pass
ing over sacred ground; ground baptized
with the blood of thousands of bravo men.
In the evening wo reached Wilmington,
N. C., a place historical during the late war,
as it was near here the great naval battle
was fought, which resulted in the capture
of " Fort Fisher." A ride of twelve hours
brought us to Charleston, S. C. This has
been and still is a beautiful place; but as
though sufrering from a j ust retribution for
that audacity which prompted thorn to lire
the first gun upon the American flag, it ap
pears to have received a shock from which
it has never recovered ; but little business
is transacted there. The grass grows in
the streets, and the city presents a sombre,
gloomy appearance.
The tide to Savannah, Georgia, is through
the most desolate country it was ever our
misfortune to witness ; huge swamps
over which the railroad passes on trestle
work, and the stations dignified by the
name of towns, consisting of two or three
shanties; the occupants of which are ne
groes—none other could exist in such a
wilderness of desolation.
Savannah, situated on the Savannah river
is a growing, thriving city, with a popula
tion of about 30,000 inhabitants. It is the
largest commercial city in Georgia, and six
or seven steamers leave there every week.
for Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, laden with rice, cotton, and the
products of the Southern stales.
We left Savannah on the 13th for Dain
bridge, Ga., via. the Gull' R. R., passing
through largo plantations of rico and cot-
ton, and immense forests of pine trees.
One of the characteristics of the St uthern
R. R., is that every passenger train has at
tached thereto a soparato car for the use of
the negroes, who, from long servitude have
acquired habits of obedience and respect,
and never attempt to enforce the XIV
amendment to the constitution, - by enter
ing any of the other cars.
At Bainbridge we embarked on the large
and commodious steamer " Spray," com
manded by Capt. Marks, a gentleman
whose kind attention and courteous de
portment greatly enhanced the pleasure of
the trip. After a ride of twenty four hours
down the Flint and Apalachicola rivers, wo
reached Apalachicola, Florida ; a city situ
ated upon the Apalachee bay, about nine
miles from the gulf of Mexico, with a pop
ulation of 3000 inhabitants. It is ono of the
most thriving cities in Florida, and has the
finest harbor on the Gulf coast. Two lines
of steamers ply between Columbus, Ga.
and Apalachicola, by means of which much
of the cotton raised in Georgia, Florida and
Alabama is shipped to Apalachicola, where
it is re-shipped to Northern and European
markets. Steamers from New Orleans to
Havana stop hero to receive and unload
freight. To the citizens of Apalachicola,
the custom house officers and Lieutenant
T. E. Ashmead, commanding the U.S.
Revenue Cutter "Petrel," wo are under
many obligations, for their kindness to us
while sojourning among them.
The vast resources of this section of Flor
ida, consist in the abundant and luxuriant
growth of its timber; 'immense forests of
pine, cypress, live oak and juniper extend
on both sides of the Apalachicola river ;
white a number of navigable creeks flowing
into the river, make nearly all the timber
accessible, and easily managed without the
expense of hauling.
Northern capitalists realizing the fact
that the pine forests of the north will soon
be used up, are purchasing largely of these
lauds. One of the largest enterprises in
which northern capital has been hero in
vested, is the purchase by the " Apalachi
cola Lumber and Land Company," of a
heavily timbered tract containing over ten
thousand acres; from this they can manu
facture from one to two hundred millions
feel of lumber, and sell the land after it has
been cleared, front five to ten dollars per
This portion of the state is peculiarly
adapted to grazing the grass closely re
sembling the celebrated blue grass of Ken
tucky and Tennessee. Many of the inhab
itants, who formerly estimated their wealth
by the number of negroes they owned, now
compute it by the number of cattle. One
gentleman informed me he owned over
2000 bead, all running wild in the woods,
branded with his private mark.
Under the guidance of Wm. 11. Neel, the
gentlemanly and accommodate ug post- mas
ter at Ricoes Bluff, we rode on horse-back
a distance of eighty-five miles, through the
counties of Franklin and Liberty, and
wo'•e thus enabled to see that section of the
MBE
The agricultural resources are sugar cane,
coat, coLiou, Scupperuory grapes and lust,
but not least, oranges. The orange trees
grow to the size of our apple trees, and
yield from 2500 to 4000 oranges each; these
sell j eating at, from three to five dollars
per hundred at the grove.
The rivers and creeks aro filled. with fish
and alligators; the forests abound with
deer and bear.
It wt•as our good fortune to kill a rattle
snake, measuring six feet live Melte., in
length, with fourteen rattles, the largest
we ever sass
The inhabitants are kind, hospitable and
courteous, and seem anxious that Northern.
men should settle among them. What,
they require to develop the state is energy
and capital.
Although, we spent almost the entire
month of August in Florida, where it is
reasonable to suppose the heat would be in
tense, and that much sickness would pre
vail; it is almost incredible, and to us it
scorned an impossibility but the mercury
in the thermoine.,er did not range above SS.,
and eve! y one appeared to enjoy most ex
cellent health.
We returned to New York by steamer,
well pleased wi th our trip. J. D. C.

J.i.un—Why, Boss, I thought a "nigger"

BADLY CONCEALED AUTDORSIIIP.--A
communication dated "Columbia, Sept. 27,
1570," signed "Many Republicans," and
written by the esteemed showman of the
Columbia Herald, model school director,
ex-agent, ctc., appears in the Harrisburg
Patriot of this weak. This Cop. was so ab
sorbed with his trick of forging the names
of "Many Republicans," that he forgot his
plural impersonation, and commenced the
first sentence with the singular pronoun I.
Yet this gentleman wants to bee democrat
ic justice of the peace. Further particulars
next week.
LOCAL LIZEVITIES.—The 2Eolians left for
their Maryland tour on Monday, and will
return to-day.
Negotiations, looking to the starting of
the Columbia Rolling Mill, are in progress.

Business with the company is exceedingly
brisk. Wo ought to have ton more in op

Be assc3sed for Borough purposes. The
cops had concocted a nice little plan to dis
franchise 400 voters, whose names the Bo
rough assessor left off the list. But the
court said you must assess all qualified vo
ters, and now Mr. Grier, the assessor will
obligingly sit for an hour each evening Sat
urday and Sunday excepted,between 7 and
S o'clock to assess all qualified voters. Ev
ery man who has resided within the bo
rough one year and has paid a borough tax
of 50 cents during that time can vote for
Cauticil, Chief Burgess, ,tc.
We called at A. R. Hougendoblers the
other clay to make some purchases, and
were surprised to find the immense stock
,of goods now in store at the "Red Sign."
Boots and Shoes of every quality, and of
every price, the latest styles in hats and

It is the duty of the Council to prepare
the assessment list, the assessor of the
Council being required to make his dupli
cate from the list of the assessor for county
purposes. This the Democratic Council,
and their assessor, IV. Hayes Grier,neglect
ed to do—the object clearly beingto prevent
the voting of some ono hundred and fifty
colored voters, as well as many white vo
ters, at the ensuing borough elections in
October. Interrogatories we:e filed and an
swers made, from which it appears that
Mere were let off the borough list four hun
dred and lily names of pet sons assessed on
the county list. From the testimony it was
shown that Clegget had not made personal
application to fitter Mr assessment, but bad
goue for that purpose, when Grier evaded
him by getting on the cars and going away.
The case was fully argued on
both sides, when toe Court dismissed
the petition for mandamus, demand not
having been proved, but directed that the
Council should prepare the duplicate for the
borough election to conform to the county
assessment, thus virtually sustaining the
object of the petition, to secure Mb right of
voting at the borough election to a large
class of colored as well as of white voters.
This was a bold and reckless scht ate on
the p.u•t of the Democratic Town Council to
prevent the polling of the colored voie,hop
ing by this high-banded measure to secure
at Mt ther lease of power in the borough
government of Columbia.
- Toe A , tornev for Connell contented that
the Borough Assessment was made in June,
and it was impossibie to make an extra as
sessment at this tune, bat it was shown
that in the election of 1569, Council had
passed a resolution instrue nig the asse.sor
to prepare "an ea:Wt. assessment list of all
per,ons whose names uppetued on the kvt
days' assessment List of t;ie District Asses
sor."
The attempted outrage upon the right of
suffrage of electors in Columbia, by those
whose duly it Is to enforce and proiect the
laws, was fully exposed in the light of judi
cial investigation, and is but another nk:
in the long chain of evidence on record
against the corrupt Democracy.—Lancaster

Cott:Num.—A special meeting of Council
was held on Tuesday evening. Messrs.
Arms, Dietz, Baker, Crane, Craig, Detwi
er, Hippey, 'Nourse and Patton where pre
sent.
On motion of Mr. Craig, Council ordered
an extra assessment in conformity with the
order of the Court.
Mr. Craig offered the following

Ball every evening (except Saturday and
Sunday) from 7 to S o'clock, from Sept. 2Sth,
until and including October 10th for the
purpose of assessing for Borough purpose
and that he also wake as,essments at his
office during the day (Sundays excepted)
between the hours of SA. M., and 4P. AL
keeping the List of each Ward separate and
arranged alphabetically for which service
he shall receive $3O.
Au amendment reducing the salary to
adapted and the resolution as
amended, passed
Mr. Detwiler offered the following which
was adopted:
I:esolved, That the BoromTh Tax Collec
tor be requested to be present with the
Borough Assessor every evening in the
Town Hall untill the day of election, anti
also on election clay, to receive taxes, and
that hand-bilis be pcsted throughout the
town giving the people due notice of the
fact.
On motion of Mr. Nourse it was agreed
that $3O be appropriated to pay H. M. North
for his services as Counsel in the Manda-
Mr=!
—We have no objections to the mandamus
foe, as our democratic members no doubt
felt quite relieved on account of the legal
informality by which they escaped the pen
alties of the law; but we, as well us nine
tenths of the people of Columbia,evorely
disapprove the course of Council in refus
ing to pay Constable McGinnis wages for
the time he spent in doing more than his
duty—in doing that for which the Borough
should have given any detective or police
officer a hand-some reward.
WE ara authorised to announce M. Clark
as a candidate for Justice of the Peace for
the first ward subject to the decision or the
Republican voters at the ensuing borough
primary election.

TEE ENTERTAINMENT ON FRIDAY EVEN-
Es.m, by the .rEelians and Prof. .Tolm Hart
of Lancaster was a rare musical and litera
ry treat. The audience comprised the dile
and intelligence of Columbia, and their
presence was a flattering ovation to both
the club and Mr. Hart. The enthusiastic
applause with which both were always
greeted, and repeatedly encored showed
that they had before them an appreciative
audience, capable of judging of the merit of
the exercises.
The musical programme embraced choice
trios, quartettes, songs and choruses, inter
spersed with a few comic selections, and
was varied enough to suit the tastes of
every body. The .2EoHans never sang bet
ter. Prof. Unsold, Musical Director, pre
sided at the organ. The Solos, by B. F.
Mullen and T. J. Clepper, were very tine.
In the choruses, Messrs. T. J. Wright and
S. B. Clepper, excelled any former °flints.
In the comic songs they were irresistible.
Prof. II:u•t in his selections, varying from
the sacred to the comic, held the audience
in a kind of enchantment. His rendering
of "Wounded," his mi MID ic representations
and the portrayal of the emotions in Henry
Ward Beecher's "Honored Dead" elicited
the warmest applause, and establishes in
our minds, the superior artistic ability of
Mr. Hart as a dramatic reader and elocu
tionist. Under the inspiration of the latter
selection, the audience seemed spell-bound,
and at the crisis of the piece,a point so well
known to elocutionists, the effect was
grand. Mr. Hart has succeeded:in acquir
ing, what many professed elocutionists
lack—a conception of the feelings and ezno
tions, which have furnished the idea ; and
he has also a remarkable power of portray
ing to an audience these emotions. llis
efforts here have received the warmest
praise.
—lt is proposed by many of our promi
nent citizens to give Mr. Hart a benefit.
Vre warmly applaud the proposition and
hope it will be posited forward. Our peo
ple lake an interest in entertainment and
instruction or this kind, and there is none
so cheap or so valuable.
SCETOOL DISCI Vll.lNE.—livery right-mind
ed citizen will grant that discipline in our
fourteen graded schools can not be main
tained, unless parents, teachers, directors
and pupils unite, and make the school room
a place of "co-operative" labor, of mutual
concessions and kindness. The parent
should teach the child that it litust obey the
teacher; that obedience to the rules of the
school room is an absolute condition of that
child's admission ; that obedience means
that the child must learn the lessons which
a reasonable teacher imposes, must have
the books which the law prescribes, and
must conform with all the minor YegLl ia
lions of the school room itself. So far the
duties of the child go. In addition, the
parent should always sustain the teacher
in any reasonable punishment which he
finds necessary to inflict in maintaining
order. The school room is bis--east to. and
he must exact obedience in every c .se.
If the child fail% in any one of these nec
essary duties, the teacher has the right re
served to hint to prescribe the mode of en
forcing obedience.
The teacher's duties are well known, and
may be summed up in two words—teaching
and governing. If they transcend their
powers and rights, the remedy lies in mak
ing complaint either to the higher principal
of the school, or to the school board, or in
default of both, in aggravated cases, to the
supreme Isw of the hind. It will be seen
by the proceedings of the school boaM that
complaint has been made iu one case, and
foul the good judgment,as well as ability of
the board, we believe they will be satisfac
torily adjusted. Our complainant in this
case, will bear in mind that the hoard has
only oaf', Mr. Young in it, but that the re
mainder are gentlemen, woo have the in
terest of our schools at heart, and will see
that discipline is maintained.
Parents should never bring their griev
ances to the school room, but lay them be
fore such members of the school board us
they know Will give them an impartial au
dience. No parent or guardian has a right
to interfere with the laws of the school
room, except through the proper channel—
the Pi ineipal or the Board of Directors.
Sad Atrair—X Youth Accidentally
Shoots His compauiou.
An accidental and fatal shooting affair oc
curred yesterday allot-noon in West Lampe
ter townsht p, by which Samuel 1:yle. aged
about fifteen, and son of John Kyle of East
Orange fir Nvt , was al mosei net a ntly Hied.
It seems that in the morning between i and
8 o'clock the deceased, in connect ion with
James Ruch:man Reese, son of A. Shultz
Reese, the restu rant keeper of North Queen
street, and familia-1v known a mon et his
companions as "Buck." and another youth
named John Gorman proceeded to the
country on a shooting expedition, They
reached the tavern of Henry Miller in Lam
peter where they put up their horse, and
then went to the adjoini f 4 fields and groves
whore they shot severe I Weds and gray
squirrel, young Reese being armed with a
heavy donble barreled gun. and Kyle with
a sin . gle barreled gam. Gorrnan had no
gun. All three youths were of about tile
name age. At noon they returned to the
tavern where they partook dinner and then
started out attain. They had not p:oceed
ed tar when Reese shot a bird, had reloaded
his gun, and was in the net of placing a cap
upon tile nipple. when Kyle picked up sev
eral small clods of earth, rine of which Ito
threw at Reese. in a playful manner, and
which struck the latter on the hand, caus
ing him to drop the gun from a perpendicu
lar position and at the same time to dis
charged the load. Kyle was standing on
the opposite side of a narrow read—about
ten feet—and directly in front of the gun,
and the entire charge of No. li bird shot
entered the left side of the face raid head,
carrying away the eye, part of the jaw.
Kyle sank clown into a golly and died in a
few moments. Young Gorman ran to him
and said, "Sam. are you hurt ?" There
was a motion of the jaws, but no articulate
sound was heard. Young Reese became
almost frenzied and shouted to Gorman to
shoot him as he had killed his best friend.
The affair occurred on the farm of John
1 3rack hill's mill. Both bays ran clown to
the mill, where they met Mr. Rudolph Le
fevre and to whom they stated what had
occurred. Mr. Lefevre and several others
accompanied the boys to the spot and found
Kyle quite dead. As soon as they return
ed young Reese extended his arms and ap
pealed to those present to shoot him. The
guns, however were taken in charge, and
Reese wal advised to return to the city. lie
did so in company- with Gorman. Reese
at, once went to his parents and stated
what limb happeLed. Ills mother then ac
companied him to the Mayor's °dice, where
ho sutrendered himself into the hands of
Alderman Fisher. Counsel was procured
Reese, but its no testimoney could be token
the alderman referred the question to Ron.
A. L. Hayes, who decided that Reese
won Id have to stand committed until the
report of I coronor's inquest, when the
case could be had on a habeas corpus.
Reese was accordingly removed to the
County Prison.
This morning Deputy Corner Samuel Y.
Myers held an inquest on the body the
jury returned a verdict that "Samuel Kyle
came to his death by the accidental dis
charge of a gun in the hands of James 13.
Reese.
We have given a brief but clear history
of the taair, and, we believe the correct one
Young Reese and Kyle were almost. daily
comp unions' and were attached to each
other like brothers. It is not known that
any ill-feeling ever existed between them,
and the tragedy which has thrown two fami
lies into sorrow, we believe was purely the
result of an accident. —Lancaster .Express.
Duncio 0 3r rambles through the town
this week we noticed many of our stree;s in
a dirty condition, especially Locust St. be
tween 3rd and 4th sis., in lront of many of
the dwe'tings heaox of dirt can be seen,
whether by permission of the Ho ongh
au
thoriiies we know not. It has been inti
tooled that one of the " town fathers" was
to become tue happy possessor 01 the "huge
moan tai os o. dim," but Madame Rumor
sometimes errs, and pe ihap - 3 sack is the
case this time. We do not think it would
add much to the expenses of the borough,
to reduce the force at, work on Cherry St.
and let them make some of the of her streets
in the borough present a more cleanly ap
pearance. " Where are the special police?"
