The City Solicitor informed the Council
that damages have been assessed along the
acqueduct line of the Water Works from
the Lake to the city. The aggregate amount
awarded is $27S so, of which the Cemetery
Association is allowed 1928. The Solici-
tor considers this q rather low estimate and
with which the Association is dissatiied.
Mr.. Lynch stated that, by q law of 1S4S
burial grounds were inViolate for any other
use; but by a subsequent law no grounds
were exempt when damages were paid.
The Association, he thought, would com
promise the matter if he course through
the grounds could take q drive way, so as
not to interfere with lots and burials; a
fountain or two would also be 9 considers-
alton on the grounds, in which case, prob
ably, the Association would waive damages.
He, however, would advise the appoint
ment of a committee of the Council to con-
fer with the Association.
Mr.. Anderson moved that sach COM
mittee be appointed, which carried.
The President thereupon designated

Seymour's language and conduct gave
great hopes 10 the rebels. His 4th OF
July speech was reprinted at Richm.ud.
and regarded by all enemies Of the Union
as promise Of help from the North.
But Grants efforts and victories cast down
the rebels, and broke the power Of their
fiotous organization. 4a t4s..

Ga, spd once more Seymour lifted up bis
voice on the hopelessness Of the war.
On the 3lst Of October. 1863, at the
Cooper Institute, he spoke Of the probs-

ormous debt, Of the hopelessuess Of the
struggle, and urged "conciIistion." A
few days afterwards, Grant defeated Bragg
at Lookout Mountain. e
In August. 1854 Seymour was Presi-

under his inspiration and that Of Vallan-

failure. Unluoky, Atlanta was captured
by Grants lieutenant and friend, Sber-
man, only few days after this platform
Of submission to rebellion was adopted.
Ii would serve no useful end TO carry

the bank he Engaged in conversation with
Howell, who took from his pocket q handful
of foreign gold, which he said belonged to q

A Singular Verdict by BaelkwOOds
Jury.

Jury.
The trial Of John Way for the murder Of
Robert Fleming, on the night of the annual
school meeting i'll Birchville, st. Clair county,
Mich, In September last, was finished on the
18th. The verdict was that John Way, who was
tried separate from his son James, was guilty
of murder in the second degree, and 1t Is a YER
dict which, In view OF the circumstances OF the
case, shocks all the better instincts OF human
nature
clear, straightforW ward manner, anu no effort of
the prosecuting officer In cross-examining him
could move him. He said he was with his
son James at the school meeting, where he
voted with those who favored raising higher
tax per scholar to support the school,. Tnis
seemed TO anger certain persons, and before ne
left the school house he saw indications of
mob spirit which reused his suspicious. Walk
ing very fast towards home, just before resca-
ing his house CAME TO his wagon, from which
the Wood-rack, used that same day In
drawing wood to Lakeport, and had been
drawn by eviloispOsed and mischievous per-
sons. AS he saw this he stopped and called to
James to aid in putting the rack on tue wagon.
This was late at night. While standing there
with his right hand on the rack of the wagon,
he heard footsteps rapidly approaching, and
athletic young man; Way is a frah looking
old man, quite grey, and apparently in poor
way started to flee, VIXEN Fleming sald hiss
Ing IL through mis- teeth in anger:-"Hold on,
Way, you have but two seconds or minutes
(Way was not certain whlch) to live" Way
saw he could not escape the blow, and STOPPING
down darted towards Fleming thinking in this
way to avert the full force of IL. The club struck
him on the back OF the right shoulder. Fleming
thereupon seized Way by the back aud jerked
him violently forward TO the ground and
dragged him some distance, Way In the mean
time being unconscious, and when he awoke
to u full realization of his situation saw Fem
ing running away orgolng away, calling loudly
to some persons at q distance, and was an
swered by whistle. Way and his son think
Ing this preconcerted plan for an onslaught
upon his house, started for Lakeport to get the
legal authorities to come to his protection, nos
knowing that Fleming had received q death
blow from an axe picked up by James Way, a
boy OF only sixteen years, and used In defense
of his poor old father when he sa " him thus
roughly handled. And this Is what Is called
murder" by this jury! A motion will be made
for new trial.
