City Treasurer Turner, the incoming financial
officer of the city, has in entering upon his duties,
made some needed repairs upon his office. The
walls have been tinted, and there has been gen.
eral clearing up and re-arranging of matters so
that the Office now wears q neat and cheerful APP
pearance. 1t is so inviting that guard will have
to be placed at the door to keep people from
stumbling over each other in rushing in to pay
their taxes. Mr.. Little, the retiring Treasurer,
who has served the city so long and faithfully, has
a corner in the Office lie has yet quite task be-
fore him to collect the arreamges due on taxes,
running back several years. There is a somewhat
extensive list Of hard cases-hopeless cases. per-
haps-persons who have a chronic repugnance to
paying taxes. There are probably on his books
from two to three thousand dollars that can never
be collected.
On Friday of last week, as young man named
Vim. Davis, belonging in Jefferson, was crossing
the Branch bridge in Windsor, with horse and
Sleigh the latter containing besides Mr.. Davis, an
old lady named Hopkins and her granddaughter,
Miss Ella Hopkins; the horse became frightened
in consequence of the breaking of a trace, when,
fetching spring the animal ran against the rail-
ing of the bridge, which gave way, and the team
was precipitated to the ice in the stream below,
distance of some fifteen feet. When the horse
jumped, the old lady was violently thrown back
and out of the sleigh on to the bridge, leaving
her, as it resulted, more frightened than hurt
Davis and the young lady went down with the
team, neither of whom were seriously injured, al
though the young lady was Jared and bruised
considerably. The sleigh was badly demolished,
while the horse which was valuable one, being
valued at 81 200, was also cut and somewhat in
jured. Our informant says the town of Windsor
has offered to settle the damages caused by the ac
cident for $500, but that the parties the other
side are not disposed to accept that sum a basis
for settlement. A law suit against the town is
likely to follow.

$50, James l.. Holland vs.. Samuel X. Gilman.
Pillsbury and Clay for ptf. j. Baker, w. p.
Whitehouse and jackson for delt, This is an ac-
ton of SANDER against the delft for publicly and
maliciously accusing the ptf. of embezzng the
money of the Maine Central Railroad Company,
at the uallowell depot where the def was ticket
seller and the pit. assistant. The good repute of
both parties hitherto and especially the venerable
age and character of the delft, give unusual inter-
est to the case. Some additional attention is
drawn to the matter from the rare occurrence of
actions of this character in courts of justice. For
merly actions for libel were more common. but
they have gradually fallen into partial disuse.
The parties are beth members of the Old South
church, and the good offices Of the brethren have
been vanly invoked to bring about an arrar ge-
ment of the difficulty On getting out the evil
dencc on the part of the ptf. was agreed, after
friendly conference of the counsel and friends Of
the litigants that the action should be withdrawn
and no further suit brought for the same cause.
The judge expressed his concurrence in this dis
position of the case as very proper one, remark
ing also that it might be very doubtful whether
the sanderous words complained of would, in the
manner they were proved to have been uttered
sustain the action.
The second jury was discharged this morning;
the o.hcr is retained, though it is not expected
that any further civil action will be tiled

There has been substantial increase in money for

privileges to the producing classes at the expense
