SUPREME CCuRT-GEaeRAL TERM.

Power of the Court to Vacate Assessments
for Paving.
In the Matter OF Hannah Stiner ct al.-This was
an application by certain property owners to vacate
an assessment for paving Thirty sixth street, be-
Tween Seventh and Eighth avenues, with trap.
block pavement. On the original argument Justice
Barnard decided IN favor OF the applicants, and
ordered the assessment to be stricken from the
books From this adjudication an appeal was
taken the General Term by the Corporation Coun-
Sci, and the matter came up for hearing before
Judges lngraham and Brady.
On the part OF the CITY 1t was urged that the Court
below erred In deciding In favor OF the petitioners
lnasmuch as chapter ga OF the Laws OF 1871 was
expressly designed TO make valid all assessments
whose regularity might be called into question by
heasOn OF non compliance with the requirements
of the statutes governing the proceedings and that
1he certificate OF the Commissioner OF Public Works
being once given the Court could not look behind
TO take cognlzance OF any defects which might
have preceded It.
In reply counsel for respondents repeated the
peveral acts OF irregularlty which he claimed were
fatal ana rendered void all subsequent dlngs.
but granting that these objections did not In.
rvalidafer the assessment the act Of 1871, when
Stricy construed could not affect this assessment.
Counsel tnen read long opinion Uy one OF our most
eminent Jursts tending TO show that the act of 1871
was unconstitutional, as barring the citizen from
an assertion OF his rights by placing autocratic
powers In the hands OF the commissioner OF Public
Works
The Court took the papers, the decision pelng
served Richard OGorman for appellants: Simon
mud BlOOm1ngdae for respondents.

PoISNEn mo- nRATH.

A healthy liver secretes each day about
two and halfpounds Of bile, which con.
tains great amount OF waste material taken
from the blood. When the liver becomes
torpid or congested, il fails to eliminate
this vast amount Of noxious substance.
which therefore. remains to poison the
blood and be conveyed 70 every part OF
the system. What must be the condi-
ton OF the blood when It Is receiving and
retaining each day two and q halt pounds
Of poison? Nature tries TO work off this
poison through other channels and organs
the kidneys, lungs, skin, ETC.; but these
become overtaxed in performing this la.
Dor, in addition ito their natural functions,
and cannot long Withstand the pressure,
but become variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
centre oil all vitality, is unduly stimulated
BY the unhealthy blood which passes 10 it
from the heart and it fails to perform Its
office beautifully. Hence the symptoms
oil bile poisoning, which are dullness,
headache, incapacity to keep the mind
on any subject, impairment of memory,
dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy
lorebodings and irritability Of temper.
The blood itself being diseased asit forms
the sweat upon the surface Of the skin, II
Is so irritating and poisonous that 1t pro-
duccs discolored brown spots, pimples,
bIotches, and other eruptions, sores, boils,
carbuncles and scrofulous tumors. The
stomach, bowels and other organs spo.
ken Of, cannot escape becoming affected
sooner or later, and costiyeness, piles,
dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhna, female
weakness and many other forms oil
chronic disease, are among the necessary
results. As a remedy for all these vari.
Gus manifestations OF disease, Dr.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is positively
unequaled. BY it the liver and stomach
are changed to an active, healthy state,
the appetite regulated and restored, the
blood and secretions thoroughly purified
and enriched, the whole system renovated
and built up anew. Sold by all first-clasS
