spectors, while standing in the door of the
warehouse on Central wharf yesterday, saw a
horse fall down, overturning the vehicle to
which he was attached. He sprang forward
to loosen the harness so that the horse might
get up, and in so doing foolishly got in front
of the horse, which in its efforts to rise, struck
Mr. Sterling severe blow with its forward
feet, knocking him some distance and bruising
him considerably.

crying. The dog tried to induce the puppy to
follow it without avail. Finally the dog took
the puppy by the ear and led it off to the alley
by the Eastern Express Companys office, on
Plum street, where it left it a moment until it
went off and brought back some food with
which it fed the little creature. The last seen
of the two the puppy was going off with its

TITLE.
Alderman Burns undertook about four weeks ago
to introduce resolution In the Common Council
perfectng the title of the United States to the land
at the Battery designed for the site of the Barge
Office. 1t Secretary Shermons expressed wish
in a letter to Congressman Muller, that this should
be done without delay. SO as to remove the only
manning impediment to the prosecution of the work
OF constructing the building. As the title to the
land stands its reverts to the city in
the United States should use it for other
Burns resolution. in conformity with the desire the
Treasury, to waive this claim of the city aud
allow the government the privilege OF using the
Barge Office at future time for whatever purpose 1t
pleased. Owing to the went of q quorum on the day
the resolution Vas intended to be introduced there
was no chance even to mention it, but three meet
ings OF the Board have since been held and nothing
has been heard about it, As Congryss will be apt to
adjourn in few days. and the Secretary OF the
Treasury may take q vacation Immediately after and
not to Washington for time, there need
for prompt disposal of the resolution in question.
1t is suspected by that the resolution is held
the Secretary OF the Treasury to promise them pat
ronage for the favor they asked to confer The
prompt passage of the resolution, 1t is claimed by
the friends of the scheme would remove the only
obstacle to the immediate prosecution of the work
and the employment of three or four hundred men.
and the motive for delaying it longer will be too
easily perceived to pass unchalenged.
