denied, and an appeal was taken to the
supreme Court, where the judgment of
the District Court was reversed and a
new trial ordered, sustaining the position
taken by plaintiffs counsel in the Dis
trct Court. On Monday the District
Court gave Judgment for plaintiffs accord.

COUNTY HosPrrAL.-The inmates gen.
orally are getting along comfortably, and
none are dangerously i'll. Dennis, whose
feet were operated upon day before yes
terday, was feeling easy when we saw
him, and it is thought he will recover
with the loss Of a part of each foot. Wag-
ner, who also had his feet frozen, may
lose each of his big toes, but will not be
crippled as badly as Dennis. Denton,
one OF whose feet was frozen, ID almost

amounts to criminal carelessness, and
should destructive fire result from such
cause the community will hold the guilty
party responsible at the bar OF public
opinion. We shall go more into detail
unless such carelessness is corrected at
once.
