into Disadvantages In changing the character Of
the meeting, the band, which had been employed for
the OCCASION and which held forth from the balcony
OF Kids building changed their position to an OPP

SUIT AGAINST THE CnY.-A suit was COM
menced against the city, on Thursday last by Thos.
ID. Young the owner of the team that broke through
Fine street bridge weeks ago. for the delay oc-
easioned by the bridge breaking. The damages
were laid at one hundred and twenty dollars.
The trial Of the case was commenced on Saturday,
before Justice Smith, J. l. Caldwell appearing for
the plaintiff and Geo. S. Hupp for the city. AS the
case mostly involved points of law jury was not
called for. 1t proven by the plaintiffs witness
es that about forty dollars worth Of barley was lost
that one Of the boards in the wagon-bed was split,
and that new wagon-bed would cost about sixty
dollars. The testimony on the part of the plaintiff
being closed, Mr.. Hupp moved for a non-suit on
several points which argued at length and ia
ken under Amusement by the Court. As many nice
points OF law are involved in this, it will probably
be many months before it is finally determined.
The Town Trustees, being Of the opinion that the
plaintiff has no just demand against the town, are
determined to resist the payment Of any damages,
unless compelled to pay by law.
Yesterday, the Justice overruled the motion for
new trial, and the case will now be taken to the
County Court on points Of law and facts.
