The horse became unmanagcable, oyerset the
carriage, and threw ont Mr.. Littlefeld and the
two ladies. Fortunately the parties were but
little injured, although il was a narrow escape.
The carriage was considerably damaged.
Somebody Is TO blame for leaving the sidewalk
encountered so long with the debris Of the fire.
More than two weeks has passed away and the
sidewalk upon our Main Street, directly oppo-
site the city Marshal's Office, has not been clear
ell vet, and the city win be mulcted in damages
in consequence. There Is. or ought 10 Be, an
ordinance requiring the sidewalks in such cases
10 be kept clear and IL the AUDITORS do not do It.,
the city Marshal should tell them how.-Demo-
erGi.

The Convention recommended unanimously that
where Circumstances allow, the time Of one Of
the sermons ON the sabbath be given TO the Sab
