vernon as thanksgiving Day." there will, in

Obshuciing the Side-2rdl&s. Attention has
been frequently called to this subject and the
necessity of allowing free and unobstructcd
passage for pedestrians along the payemcnts
has been repeatedly urged but 1t seems that
many StUrCkGepels, in their cageIness to dis
play their commodities, or it may be, from
desire 10 assume an appearance OF business
which they in fact do not possess, continue,
notwithstanding the advice given, to place be-
fore their stores an unnecessary number of
boxes, bales and packages of goods, by which
the sidewalks are so crowded as to render a
walk along some of our public st!cets mat
ter of some difficulty. There is, we believe,
an ordinance upon this subject, and though
many have already suffered the penalties of
its violation, we think a further enforcement
of it will be necessary before it is implicitly
obeyed
The Foot The Greatest Feat on Record.
The foot race against time, by jackson, the
"American Deer came off yesterday over

ing minutes and so seconds to spare. This
is, we believe, the greatest feat of the kind or
record. a large number of persons were pre-
sent to witness the interesting and exciting
scene. We understand that he has wagered
/ to run, on Thursday next, Il miles within the
hour,
/ Trolting against Time. Previous to the foot
race Yesterday, ovct the Canton Course, the
grey mare Queen belonging to Mr.. Edward
{ Woods, of PENNSYLVANIA, was driven in a sui

within the hour

Spec Of Riot! AT the fire on Sunday night
in Guilford alley, an effort was made by Ger

presence of High Constable Clifford and his Of
ticers, it was nipped in the bud. A number OF
bricks were thrown, one OF which struck Mr.
Clifford on the collar bone, but which, most
fortunately, did no other injury than cause him
to be slightly bruised. One of the rioters, nam
cd Charles J. Wilson, was arrested by officer
DuvaIl. He was taken before Justice Mann
ing aud released on security to keep the peace
Fire. The alarm of fire on Sunday night
about o'clock, was caused by the burning OF

not very great, was covered by insurance.
