WEDNEsDAY.-Joseph Estes Vs. Grand Trunk
Railroad. Action Of tort to for damages to
plaintiffs horse, pung and harness the 1st OF
March last alleged to have been sustained by
OF the carelessness the part of defendant Company
in running their trains Commercial street in this
city. 1t admitted, the part OF the Defendants
that if they liable for anything they were not
liable to the full value of the property as claimed by
the plaintiff, viz $130. The facts in brief as stated
by the plaintiff are these:-He was on his way up
Commercial street to the Office Of james g. Williams
when he saw the train coming; he Immediately
crossed the track aud continued his way up the side
next to the wharves; the train passed him and he
drove up to the door of James & Williams office,
looked around and saw as he supposed, the train on
the way east he got out leaving his horse unhitched
went into the Office, and was just proceeding to the
transaction of his business when he heard the train
its way back he rushed to the door in time to
his horse dashng up against the train as it
ming down on to Sturdevant's wharf, and immedi-
atey alter horse, pung and harness piled up in
heap on a lot of ship knees; Q thought the train
consisted of eie lit or ten cars and was running at
the rate of ten twelve miles an honr. Other wit
nesses the part OF the plaintiff testified the speed
was eight miles an hour, and one put it high as
sixteen.
Inc testimony OF the employees anu Otners tenu6u
to show that the train consisted Of five in front
of the locomotive and was not running over five
miles hour. On the part of defendants it con-
tended that the accident occurred partly if not sole
ly by reason of the careessness OF the plaintiff in

track unhitched where he knew trains were con-
stantly passing and repassng. Jury out when the
Court adjourned.

To the Editor Of the Press.

I see by the report of the last meeting of the
city government that the Common Council re-
fused to pay the gas bills of the Mechanic
Blues and the Infantry. believe that their
action is in harmony with the views of a large
majority of the tax payers of this city, and hope
they will adhere to their position. The city is
in no condition financially, TO pay any such
bills. What is the reason that the Young
Mems Christian Association, the charity even
ing schools, the Good Templars and other So
ceties of similar character, have not as good
or even better claim for similar favors from
the city? Surely they are doing ten times as
much to advance the real interests of our city
as are the military companies named. Men of
the Common Council, stick to your vote.
A CITIZEN.
Our correspondents comparison is not an
equitable one The military system is recog-
nized by law, and the State provides clothing
and armories for the companies at the public
expense. How far city or town may go in
providing extra coDveniences beyond the foul
walls of building is a legitimate subjecs o
discussion. Generally, towns have provided
all the necessary conveniences for their legiti
mate work. The Y. M. G.. A. is private or
ganization, supported by those who think alik'
on certain ques tions, and has no claims on tn
municipal or State purse.

reputation of MIR. Geo w. Curtis as scholar
"nd an orator, and the announcement of his
them. American Literature" of which he is
worthy representative, were sufficient to at
tract large audience to City Hall last eve
ming, despite the condition of our streets. The
Portland Band appeared punctually at seven
o'clock, and played for half an hour with ex-
cellent taste both as to selection and execution.
The thanks of the officers of the Association
were briefly expressed by Mr.. Furbish. He
then introduced Mr.. Curtis, who for an hour
delighted his audience with lecture which
for felicity of thought and utterance is rarely
paralleled. The full reports already published
render it needless to repeat them. Beginning
wl6h the idea that the best literature is that
which comes home to all hearts, he showed
that momentary popularity was not an evi-
dence of genius, but that he was the greatest
author who told tale in which the characters
were lifted out of mere local surroundings into
the serene light of the Imagination. Certain
favorable and unfavorable circumstances to the
development of literature in this land were
presented and the influence of various phases
of American life upon its literature. He
closed with an earnest plea for perpetuity OF
friendly feeling between America and Eng
land, one in language and literature, and
strongly rebuked the spirit of Butler and 9th
ers who ignore peaceable adjustment of our
differences. American literature is the ex-
preston of the English race under American
conditions. While not ashamed of the past,
we need not fear for its future renown.

say that we have listened to lectures by
them even of less merit than this one by
Mr. Mills. At the close of the lecture he
made an eloquent appeal to the audience
in behalf of the Good Templars' organi-
zation He spoke about two houss, and
to the edifcation of his audience, as was
attested by no appearance of WEAKNESS

CONTAMINATION. Halsey r. Wing, OF
Glen's Falls, N. Y, died on the Goth OF
January, in the sixty-frst year of his age
He was graduate of Middlebury College,
class of 1882, studied law at Albany, and
was admitted to practice in the State and
Federal courts. He held successfully the
offices of Assistant District Attorney for
the County of Albany, and Superintend-
emit of Schools and Judge of Warren
County, and the ability and fidelity ex-
hibited in the discharge of his duties war
ranted an expectation of an honorable
career in professional and political life,
he'd he chosen to seek it. In 1841 he
interested himself in other pursuits, and
developed business which for its extent
him among the leading business men
of Northern New York. His personal in
fuence and wealth were always wisely
used, and at his death the people among
whom he had lived felt that they had lost
their best friend In 1885 Mr.. Wing
married Harriet Newell, the eldest
daughter of the late Gen. Ezekiel P
Walton of Montpelier, and to them were
given five sons and a daughter. In poll
tics Mr. Wing was Democrat, and he
was the candidate of that party for Con-
gress against Hon. Robert S. Hale, who
was elected to fill the vacancy oocasioned
by the death of Mr.. Kellogg, of the Essex
district To Mr.. Wings honor we must
add that he was true patriot and gave
two sons to his country, one of whom fell
in battle, and the other died of disease
consequent upon hardships in a rebel
prison
