In the case of the United States vs. Thomp-
son and Dyer, report of which we gave yes
terday, an erroneous impression may have been
conveyed by the statement that these gentle
men claimed $4,000 of the government. The
$40, 900 was the nominal sum used in the plead
ings in the nature of an dd dannun. Their
claim was for so much as the land should be
found worth and for whatever incidental dam
age should accrue to them from the erection of
the battery. Mr.. Thompson claimed that the
building of the battery would greatly injure, if
not destroy his Business of taking summer
boarders, while it was claimed by the counsel
for the United States that it would have no
such effect. The jury awarded Mr.. Thompson
S2275 and Mr.. Dyer S1357.
DIsoRDERLY HoUsEs.-By the prompt re
moval of the notorious Mrs. Stetson from the

led to the thanks of the residents in that vi
cinty.
The statement of the PRESS, referring to the
above case that 'these disorderly houses are null
tiplying in the city and the evil seems to be on
the increase" is too true. AS long as land
lords will rent houses in respectable portions of
the city, to such notorious and abandoned char
acters, knowingly, we shall have reason for
thankfulness that we have police that is
ready and prompt to abate such nuisances
when called upon. Dow STREET.

Catherine in Household Fairy" and as the
Duchess in "Faint Heart" and exhibited a
charming grace and vivacity. Miss Bonney al
the young King in GIANT Heart won frequent
applause. All the parts were well performed
and the young amateurs have reason to fee
