place they reached about o'clock, and in
driving down Madison Avenue the horses be-

ing one of his hands injured, and Mr.. Quinn
was severely bruised about the body. The
horses became detached from the carriage

CiNxERlAS DARKNESS blackness Of
darkness has brooded over the streets Of
Westminster, at night, during the past week.
People going home from the Churches on
Sunday night, and from the temperance meet
ing, on Tuesday night, and from the Concert,
on Wednesday night, ran against each other,
stumbled over the cobble-stone crossings and
the cellar doors, butted against trees and
lamp.posts, and almost dislocated their spines
by treading into some hole or depression on
the sidewalk or pavement But for friend
" light, here and there, cleaning from some
chamber window, pedestrians would have had
to grope their way in utter darkness. For
the credit of the town, we hope this state Of
things will he speedily brought to an end.
Let our citizens, who meet tonight, to take
the affairs Of our corporation into considera-
ton, and to make arrangements for the APP
preaching election, devise some means by
which this Inconvenience may be remedied.

10 say something that would kdord clue 70
