CLOSED UP.-The food of waters
that swept down the cutters on Tues
day night, completely filed up with
saad the mouth of the inlet to the
sewer on the lower corner of Main
and Water Streets. We had before
directed attention to the fact that the
throat OF the inlet was ehoaked with
old boots, shoes and other debris, but
it was not cleaned out, and on Tues
day night the sand was washed in till
it was entirely filed up, and the water
rushed several inches deep across
Water Street and down the wharf,
washing all the mud and gravel from
the powders and paving stones.
Yesterday the inlet was torn up for
some distance, and will probably have
to be torn up to the junction with
the sewer. Had it received proper
attention when it first commenced
filing up with rubbish, much trouble
and expense would have been saved
TO the city.

THE TEMPERANCE f EsTIYAL.-The
storm that set in early after dark last
night, prevented many from attending
the strawberry Festival given by the
Temperance Orders Of this city. The
spacious Concert Hall of the new
opera building was most tastefully
decorated with evergreens and flowers
and flags. Most brilliant and fasci-
mating ladies were in attepdance,
and the several tables were well
patronized. The refres hments were
of the most excellent character. Those
who were there, and the number was by
no means small, enjoyed a very pleas
ant evening. To day grand lunch will
be spread from 10 o'clock till even
ing, and it is hoped it will be literally
patronized. Tonight the Festival
will be repeated. with fresh supply
of eddibles, and it is hoped the
weather will be propitious and that
the attendance will be largely in
creased. The ladies having the matt
ter in charge are sparing no pains to
make the Festival a popular institu-
ton. A pressure of business and the
late hour at which we write, precludes
a more extensive notice.

LocUsTs.-During a short ride out
side the city, yesterday, we were sur
prised to hear the woods and orchards
resohnding with the legendary song,
:" Pha-a-ro-ah, Pha-a-ro- ali" We
are told they made their appearance
about four days ago, and that they
are quite NUMEROUS aud rapidly on
the increase. We saw some very fine
specimens, AID they are the real gen
uine, Simon-pure original, II year

NEW METROPoLITAN.-The reeep-
ton of Uriel Acosta, at the New Me-
tropolitan, last night. was warm and
enthusiastic. The play is a most
thrilling and interesting one, and the
scenic effect is truly magnificent. Mr..
Gotthold sustained himself in the
most exceptional manner, aud was
generally we'll sustained. One or two
of the actors were very deficient in
their parts, and marred the play. 1t
will be repeated tonight, and IS
worthy of large patronage. The pc
culiar genius of Mr. Gotthold shows
most eonspicuously in this play.
CARROLL & EMMETT's CoMBINA-
TION.-The storm last night thinned
out the attendance at Masonic Hall,
but the Combination, in their several
roles, equailed any former perform
ance This is unquestionabiy the
most popular entertainment that ever
visited this city, and they have made
hosts Of friends, who will greet them
on their return with great warmth.
They go to-day to Vincennes. and
thence to St. bouts.

Carriers.

Sometime since one Fine sued the
city of San Francisco to recover So, 900,
damages claimed to have beer. sustained
by the destruction of the Monitor
newspaper establishment by the mob
Of April, 1865. Fiuc was II car
rier, and claimed that he was dam.
aged iu his business by the temporary
suspension of the Monitor. The case was
brought up in the Fourth District
Court, and on motion Of defendant a
demurrer was granted by Judge Saw
yer on the ground that there was no nc
tual loss of property by the plaintiff. A
general law was passed at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature providing that
all parties whose property was destroyed
by the mob aforesaid, should have the
right to bring suit against the city, and
TO recover damages, the judgments to
be paid by the city. The following are
the points in Judge Sawyer's decision {:
l. A newspaper route is not property,
because the right to carry papers is a
mere privilege ; the carrier can, ut any
time, refuse to carry his route, aud can.
not be held responsible /; yet if the pub.
Usher fails to deliver papers to curriers'
they seek to hold him, claiming that
the route is property, hence,
2. There is no mutually of contract,
and it is void.
3. 1t follows, that If n newspaper
route is not property, II carrier cannot
recover for damage 10 1t, as Is sought
in this case.
The leading case is that Of the Now
York Herald. For a large sum Of money
a carrier sold his route on the Herald to
a third party. Bennett, the proprietor,
| did not like the manner Of the new car
rier s delivery, although be consented
to the sale, and he refused him papers 4;
he sued Bennett for damages. The
| Court below held that the action could
not be sustained. as the route was not
property, and the Court Of Appeals
