A Broken Arm.

A poor but worthy man, while walking along
St. Anthony street on Monday night (it was very
dark,) fell headlong into the cellar of the new
building in course of erection by Macubin s
Edgerton, and broke his arm. Persons who
leave open dangerous places should be held re-
sponsible for any injuries received. -
Speaking of this matter, reminds us that not
long since gentleman fell into an opening near
the Winslow House, and came very near losing
his life,-and all this comes of neglect on the
part of the proprietors of buildings to properly
guard unsafe man traps. o.nr.

acted with the Democratic party, and who voted
for Franklin Pierce, in 1852, feel it to be our duty

EY Ladies and Gentlemen of sense (which,
of course, includes the reader)--have you seen
the mud in our streets? What think you of the
present long dresses of the ladies, being adapted
to such weather? Go to-day, we beseech you,
out upon our thoroughfares, and see the rainbow
hosts of befeathered,i beaounced fashionables,
wading along, and dragging their silks and
satins in the mud gathering all the filth in a
sckening fringe upon their dresses--.then 60 into
your parlors and sneer at the Bloomer costume if
you dare! We wish to add no argument. This
thunder shower had presented one, unanswerable,
in the clogging mud which surges like an unbro-
ken ocean through our streets. What say you ?
