Hon. +. NJ. Stillwell Of Bangor, Fisk Com
missioner, was in the city the other day, to
make an examination of the dam OF the
Messrs. Sprague, with view to building
fshway. After quite a thorough exanina-
ton Of the premises, he came to the conc!u-
sion that it would be useless to construct
ishway over the dam, in consequence OF float
ing ice and logs The expense for such
structure would be too great; and it would be
sure to be carried away the first spring or fall
freshet. The Commissioner looks favorably
upon project 10 build way at the westerly
end of the dam, on the site OF the old saw
mill. effecting an entrance into the canal, and
from thence passing to tie pond through the
log way. This would be the wiser plan and
altogether the most feasible, as the tshway
would be comparatively exempt from destrue-
ton by logs and ice. The plans and speclh-
cations are not fully matured, but we under
stand that it is the intention OF the Commits
sioner to have the structure built the coming
season. If built in the place indicated II will
be about 200 feet in length.

sued DIR. Hall for NAL practice. The
case has been pending three years.
4 trial was had at this term which oc-
cupied 8 or 4 days. A number OF
witnesses on both sides were examin-
ed. The principal points in DIR.
Halls favor, were that he had in the
first place assured Mr.. Knight, that
the injury was very serious, and
that while ne would use his best
skill and endeavors to give him a
sound Lee, he would not be response
bic for failure, as he considered 1t
a very uncertain case; it was proven
that after the dislocation was reduced
Mr. Knight, it is thought, ipcautious-
" moved his limb and thus caused
the serious physical results which led
to the prolonged suit.
Several medical experts were call
ed, (the principal physicians Of the
county, who testified that the case
had been properly treated, and that
the shortening ofthe limb was caused
BY an injury to the bone consequent
on the dislocation, involving the de
cav and ABSORPTION Of the head and
neck of the bone. All the medical wit
nesses testified that the case had been
properly treated.
Mr.. Knight attempted to prove
that he had obeyed, in every particu-
lar, the Doctors directions, and that
the injury had been caused by a
fracture, instead of Il dislocatiOn, and
that the malpractice consisted in
the treatment of a dislocation for a
fracture. The verdict fully acquit-
ted DR.. Hall Of the charge and ex-
onerated him from all blame.
