Putting Her Foot In 1t, and More Too.
Before Judge Mcneil.
Catharine FitzgibbOns was a tenant OF Samuel
Sloan. One day, stepping upon the grating over
the coal hole, from which bar was missing, she
put her foot In it-that is to say through the
aperture--and, as she claimed, sustained serious
injuries. She estimated these injuries at ST, 1000
and brought suit against Mir. Sloan to recover this
sum. The defence was that she wanted make
1t a case OF damage and so pushed her foot down
as far as she could. The jury evidently thought
put her foot in it asking so large a sum for
damages aud so only gave her 500.

The Third Term at Utica.

1t is widely believed that the ruling man
ayers Of the republican party of the State are
at the bottom Of the movement looking to the
election of General Grant for third term.
1t is the prevailing opinion, apparently, that
the Republican State Convention, which
meets at Utica tomorrow, will be as reticent
as General Grant himself upon this question
of third term. The liberals of this Com
monwealth have pronounced against any de-
parture from the Presidential limitation Of
two terms, as established from the example OF
Washington the democrats have emphati-
cally seconded the liberal protest; and now.
if the republicans Of the Empire State, like
their brethren of Pennsylvania, Kansas
and Michigan, proclaim their adhe-
sion to the two-term limitation, the
question will be settled. Otherwise Messrs.
Blaine, Conkling, Morton, Logan, But
ler and other hopeful republican aspirants
for the succession may take it easy and re-
sign themselves to the necessity Of waiting
yet little longer. The issue depends very
much upon the action of the impending Re-
publican Convention at Utica.
The New York herald., 1874-09-22

the Due do Montpensier is an art event OF
unusual importance. As will be seen from
the critical review which we publish in
another column tho works composing it
cover the grandest period of Spanish art.
Only in few European galleries could any
thing like the same facilities to study the de-
velopment of this remarkable school be en-
joyed as this collection now presents to the
American public. In consenting to lean his
splendid collection the Duke has done grace
full act, which cannot fail to be properly
appreciated Though the collection is not
large it is very valuable, and affords students
and amateurs ample opportunity to make
themselves acquainted with the character
istics of Spanish painting in its various de-
velopments. The occasion ought not to be
neglected, for it may be long before similar
opportunity will occur again. Boston will
enjoy the educational benefits to be derived
from the presence of the paintings for one
year, and we hope the directors of our Art
Museum will take steps to procure for the
citizens Of New York an opportunity OF ex-
amining this representative collection Of the
best Spanish art.
