Capt Lewis Davis, who was Mayor Of the
Village of jackson at the time the grading was
commenced around the Public Square, showed
us the trouble at the rear of the Court House, o.
which we spoke last week. He claims that the
protection wall is not injured, but that perhaps
the blasting of the rock in the street. when grad
ing,might have Jared the steps, and caused then
to give way. He thinks there is no danger o
the Court House, or of the protection wall. The
. ends of the stone steps have but slight hold il
the wall, and they are coming out and nea
falling down. If Mr.. Davis is correct, and w
think perhaps he is, the damage is small so far.
