John Is. Ford, les Poplar st.
Liab,IIues for Loss by Fire,

The United States Circuit Court
for Massachusetts, has just reu-
dered a decision on the right Of u
city to destroy buildings during a
fire to arrest the progress of the
flames. The decision is in favor Of
the right. The court held hat the
liability of municipal corporation
for the value of houses pulled down
or blown up to stay a fire is purely
statutory and does not exist at COM
mon law /; therefore when munich
pal officers are authorized to destroy
buildings, and the corporation
made liable for them, ain order to
recover, the case must be clearly
proved and be fairly brought within
the statutory provisions" If the
statute law allows such recovery
only when a building is demolished
by order Of the three fre-wards,
ga destruction of it by the order
of only one will create no liability
against the corporation" Cities
and towns are liable to the extent
that they are made SO by the stat
ute and no further. The law mus
be strictly complied with to pro.
duce the responsibility, and tn,
owner of the building cannot re
cover from the corporation till h,
shall have proven that the destruc
ton was in strict conformity to tn.
statute.

The PeriIn or BnIIoontnr.

The most extraordinary balloon
adventure on record has just hap
pened to the aeronauts of the
Alexandra Palace Company, Lon
don. Having attained a hight Of
5000 feet, they three times crossed
the Thames, and descended in a
large meadow neal Ethan, Kent,
They were just letting off the gas
when a large bull charged them,
believing fHriously. They threw
the two last bags of SAND out OF
the car, and barely escaped through
the rising of the balloon. The bull
scattered the contents of the sand
bags over the ground, and his
horns, becoming entangled with the
grapnel rope, set the grapnel free,
throwing the aeronaut out OF the
car through the jerk. Fortunately
he succeeded in clutohing the net
ting, and, with his companions as
sistance, was hauled into the Cal
before it had assembled many hun
dred feet. They then sailed away
for a mile, and descended in an
other meadow.
