by this Board was unimportant They con-
CURED in the action of the Lower Board in
passing over the Mayors veto the ordinance pro-
viding for the removal Of stalls and stands on
the sidewalks between the Meat and Vegetable

TIE CITY.-Thc enjoyable weather last week
had an exhilaratipg effect, not only on the
mind, but likewise corresponding influence
on business. The b:acing air caused large
turnout of prOmenaders, and the leading tho
no doubt benefited trade. People generally
seem to have m1le up their minds for o fresh
start, and We have placed ourselves in the
ranks ofcompetitors for the goal of success
Our exhibit this week in the way of advertis-
ing is gratifying one, and we invite our friends
to send in their favors as early on Friday morn
| ing as may be convenient. Our subscription
list is assuming such proportions, that we had
to increase considerably our editions for the
last two issues, thus giving wider circulation
| to the fayors of our friends.
| DAMAGEs.-It will be seen by reference to oul
synopsis of the Councils proceedings, that
claims for damage against the city for injury
to property during the late riots are accumu
lating. We notice that in one case the appli
cation was favorably received and ordered t.
be paid. In others, they were disallowed. Th'
reason for this distinction is not obvious. Blu
perhaps it is because we are not 'posted."
