MRS SPRAGUE,S MATINEE

on Saturday evening last, as is understood,
was the last Of the season. The elegant man.

his great wealth, and as became the accom-.

The air throughout the different apartments of
the edifice was redolent with the perfumes OF
thousand flowers, and music lent its enchant.
ment to the whole, causing the hours to pass
but too quickly by. a dancing hall. expressly
erected, was fitted up in the grounds adioining o
the house, which resembled more the abode of
fairies, as we are told Of them, than place for
common mortals to dance.
For the inner man, each and every delicacy
that could tempt the taste, was most profusely
offered.
The res sidence of the Senator, spacious as il
is, was not too extended in its proportions on
the occasion mentioned, to be filled, with the
good, the distinguished, the ACCOMPLISHED and

to-day is the election Of Mayor and Common

constant challenging at the polls in order to
it causes no ill feeling. The vote at noon was
small comparatively, in all the precincts,
caused principally by neglect of voters to pay
their school taa before the election day. The
Collector and his assistants are kept busy at
his Office, which is crowded with voters await
ing their tax receipts There appears to be no
tally kept by challengers at the precincts, ex-
cept the 4th, and there was certainty in es-
timating the vote. In the first precinct it was
close. In the second, third and fourth. it was
conceded that the voting was decidedly in
favor OF Mr. Addison, whose friends are con-
fident OF success. The friends of Mr. Hill
were cheerful, and worked industriously.

MIR. Darlington for defendant. The facts in
this case are as follows: Nardini is a fruit
vender and Pella q pawnbroKer, and some
months since the plaintiff deposited $500 in
gold and silver with the defendant, who
placed 1t in his safe. Nardini subsequently,
demanded the money which was not forth

been distracted; the safe having been several
time searched by the police officers This case
was decided in the Circuit Court once before,
and went up to the court in general term on

whether the defendant being bailer was
guilty Of gross negligence about the money, or
appropriated 1t to his own use, and IL the jury
so find, what would be the rule to determine
the damages. The court instructed that the
amount might be as high as the greatest price
