Ferry Village.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Although it has been a dull
year for business in most towns in Maine, this
village seems to be one of the favored places
as regards improvements. Six dwelling houses
have been built the present season, and q larger
amount of repairs than was ever done during
any other season. We have built q school
house at cost of $4,000, which is said to be
second to none in the county (your city ex-
cepted). The plans were made by F. 81. Fas-
sett & SoI of Portland, and the house with its
delicately carved brackets and graceful belfry
that overlooks the village is model of beauty.
The building is 40 K 65 feet on the ground, two
story high, and is designed for the Grammar
and High schools. In addition to the school
rooms, which are designed to seat one hundred
pupils each, there are two recitation rooms Is
feet square. There are two halls, two broad
flights of stairs leading to the upper school
room. The ante-rooms, like the rest of the
building, are finished with all the modern i'm
provements. Great care has been taken to
have all the rooms thoroughly ventilated. The
painting inside is in imitation of oak, which
gives go,d satisfaction and shows that Mr..
Knight is master of his business. The out
houses and fences are now under contract, and
when completed will be in keeping with the
building. The vaults and ventilation are of
the latest approved style. The grading of the
lot is nearly completed. Our thanks are due to
Messrs. T. G. Hutchins, A. v. Cole, B. w.
Pickett and others who have managed the
financial and other matters with prudenre and
care. CITIZEN

THURsDAY.-Mary H. W. Richardson VS.. City Of
Portland. Case for injuries on sidewalk on Myrtle
street at northwest City Building. February
6, 1874 The alleged defect was an accumulation of
snow and ice and the sloping surface of the side
walk, about half an inch to foot towards the street
and hollow or scooping out of the sidewalk, the
whole breadth of it, some three inches deep and two
feet across. Plaintiff says: lam go years of age;
left home on Cumberland street morning of the ac-
cident; went up Myrtle street opposite side from
City Buildng the walking was slippery; started to
return home about O'Clock; this side was so slip
perry that thought better to return by the sidewalk
next the City Building; found it very slippery; took
the utmost care; had on rubbers; was alone; when
reached the lamp-post fell; the first l knew my
foot slipped from under me; was thrown down very
fuddenly; struggled to get up; no one present at
first soon Mayor Westcott and others got me up; he
took me home in his Sleigh my left shoulder was
dislocated and my arm fractured by the fall. Dam.
ages laid at $4,000.
Defense-True, the plaintiff fell upon the sidewalk
and suffered damage, but not injury emitting her
to compensation; she did not fall in the hollow, but
after she had passed IT. the inclination of the side
walk towards the street is common to all the tide
walks in the city, and necessary to assist in floating
off snow and ice into the gutter.
Reply-A halt inch to the foot is greater lateral
slope than is needed on streets which are level or
nearly 80; but on hills of sharp Descent like Myrtle
street. from Congress to Cumberland, half inch in
clinaton in the whole width of the sidewalk would
cause all the water falling upon it to find its way
readily to the gutter; slope OF half inch to foot
is useless addition to the ordinary dangers of side
walk descending hill like this.
The court stated to the jury that it question
of fact for them under all the circumstances whether
the sidewalk was or not defective. Verdict for the
plaintiff fer $36666.
Webb for plaintiff.

The FAILURE OF N. WIGGIN & Co.-The
Ellsworth American says that the report of the
suspension of N. Wiagin & Co. of Salem,
Mass, who had for several years done heavy
numbering business on the river, created con-
siderable excitement as they had many credi
tors in Ellsworth. All the property connected
with their numbering operati ms has been
taken possession of by Deering & Milliken of
Portland, who have, for some time, claimed to
be the legal owners and who will continue to
carry on the business. 1t is supposed that the
liabilities of N. Wiggin & Go. to creditors
about Ellsworth will amount to about $4,000.
Their assets there are merely nominal. 1t is
hoped that some arrangement will soon be
made by which workmen and honorary debts
will be paid in whole or in part.

A KIND AcT.-Yesterday morning two school

was found, and in worse condition than re-
ported. They interested the neighbors in her
case, and at once started subscription among
the merchants who were very willing to assist
them. One gentleman, a druggist, sent his
medicine, and told her attendants to call for
more when it was needed. The woman was
made comfortable, and is likely TO recover from
her Illness
