DAMAGES AGAINST a CITY.-An important trial
has come of in Boston, between Lyman Raw
mond, plaintiff, and the city of Lowell, defendant
IN which heavy damages were awarded by the
jury and some important points were decided 1t
appeared that the plaintiff, who was a citizen of
Manchester, New Hampshire, went to Lowell on
business, and in attempting to Central street.
caught his foot in the iron grating of cuvert
which was out of place, and protruded two inches or
more above the sidewalk, fell and fractured his
knee-pan. The counsel for the city, Sidney Bart
lett Esq, of Boston, and Isaac F. Morse, solicitor
OF Lowell contended, that if a man attempts to cross
street in city, at any other place than where
tagging stones are laid, a crossing place is ind-
Gated in some way, he does at his peril On the
other hand, it contended by Hon. Rufus
Choate George Barsow, and Jonathan Ladd,
Esqs. for the plaintiff that the whole highway is
open to foot passengers and carriages, to pass and
cross where their convenience may require and it
was admitted that the plaintiff did not cross on the
tagging stones, although he was very near them
and might have done So
The court sustained the position of the plain
till S counsel and it proved that the injury
to the plaintiff leg he being blacksmith totally
disabled mm for pursuing his trade and as it was
proved he had family, and was forty- five years of
age, the Jury awarded him the handsome sum of
S999o damages, with interest. The accident
occurred in November, 1916. The Jury appear TO
have acted upon this very Just and proper view OF
NE case, via that when party is wholly disabled

A FUeIrIvE SLAVE CASE IN NEwYoRk.-The
U. S. Commissioned OF NewVork had before him.
on the 23d ut, an atledged fugitive slave case, a
waiter named Henry Long, arrested while attend
ing to his duties at the dinner tribe of the Pacific
Hotel, and claimed the property of Dr. Smith,
of Virginia. The evidence was very strong as to
identity. The prisoners counsel asked for post
ponement for time to procure witnesses The
Commissioner was not guilty of the same absurd.
iy as the Commissioner here, of deciding that a
man Unexpectedly arrested while pursuing his ordi-
nary business, is bound to have his witnesses ready
for an immediate and summary examination. The
Commissioner granted the postponement, saying
he was disposed to give the man every opportunity
of examining'as many witnesses he could pro.
duce. This is law, reason and justice. The in
quiry was to be resumed on the following morning,

FROM PoRTo. RIco,-By an arrival at New
York from Porto Rico we have intelligence as late
as the 18th inst. The New York Herald says:
Abundant rains had prevailed throughout the
island Of Porto Rico, and the prospects for the
coming crops were very ilatterng. A small parcel
Of new sugar had been Sold on the north side, at
SIC. for st. Thomas.
1t was generally supposed that sugars would
open at SO to 81, per quality. Molasses 10c. to
l2c. per gallon. Nothing had been doing in coffee,
the picking of which had been much retarded by
the heavy rains.
Considerable excitement had lately prevailed on
the island, occasoned by the report Of an intended
invasion by Narcisso Lopez, from Hayt and heavy
guez, the nearest point to Hayti. A few days pre-
vious to the sailing of the Brothers, a report had
been circulated at Ponce that Lopez had effected a
landing about twenty miles to the eastward of that
place, from large steamer, with five frigates and
troops were Immediately ordered out at Ponce to
meet the invaders.

The GOVERNMENT STEAMERs--Com Skinner,
Chief of the Bureau of Construction, etc., in his
report to the Secretary Of the Navy, suggests among
other things, the propriety Of building new steamer
to receive the machinery Of the Princeton and also
OF fitting the new frgates Sabine and Santee with
stern propelers The British Admiralty have caused
very large number of their sailing ships to be fur
nished with the screw propeller and steam machin-
cry, and it is contended in the naval journals Of
England that ship is entirely competent for war
purposes unless it is provided with auxiliary steam
power. The United States Government has but
one propeller vessel, the Massachusetts, in actual
service, and one only, the San Jacinto, in the pro-
gress OF completion. In consequence of delay ex-
perienced in the manufacturing OF steam engines at
the foundries employed, Com. S. recommends, as a
matter OF economy of money and time, that the
public yards be supplied with the necessary appa-
ratus for the construction Of steam engines for naval
purposes. 1t is also proposed razee the franklin
IA, to arm her with batteries of heavy guns, thus
rendering her formidable vessel OF war. The
second-cass frigate Macedonian it is proposed to
razee, and arm her also with battery of shell guns,
instead of her present armament of 1S-pounders
