THURsDAY.-Geo D. B. Wtham vs. City of Port
land. Action to recover damages laid at 1000
for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained
by of defect in the sidewalk Milk street
in this city on the 9th of November, 1873. The de-
feet alleged is small opening in the sidewalk next
to Stanton block, left to admit light to basement
window. The opening is about 61a inches wide, 3s4
inches only of which within the street limits, and
61a inches deep. Tho plaintiff says that as he was
coming from the market to Exchange street, on the
way to his store, he met tive gentlemen whose at
tenton attracted towards the other side of the
street and did not see him. He stepped to his right
to avoid them and his right foot went into this hole
He did not fall and does not remember whether he
came down so far as to touch his hands, but he
claims that it gave him a bad shock; that he imme-
diately felt pain in his back and head that soon
after he had homorrhage from the mouth; he went
home, called physician and for 140 days was not
out of his bed able to sit in chair that he has
suffered pain ever since in his legs, back neck and
head; that although he is better now than he has
been, he is not able to do any labor, can only get
about by the of crutches; that he has feeling
the puncture of pin or any sharp instrument; that
his back along the spine has been cauterized, and
that the operation gave him no pain.
The case seems to excite considerable interest on
the part of the medical profession and quite num-
Der were present either experts spectators.
The trial will occupy number of days.

A Horses Intalliganca.

The Lewiston Journal says that one of the
horses that usually runs with a steamer is sick,
and is not on fire duty at present. When the
department left the house, Monday evening at
the alarm of fire. this horse was left hitched in
the stable alone The Bates street side door
was open and the old fire-horse longed for the
excitement and blaze of confagration. He
could not bear the thought of being tamely tied
in the stable, while the other horses were de-
ng duty. He broke his fastenings and in a
few minutes was following the firemen. He
came up with one pair of horses and found
that his mate was not one of them, so he gal
loped down Lisbon street until he found the
span in which his old mate was paired. He
quietly took his position beside the other horse
and remained by his side until the team re-
entered the stable. 1t is related of "Old
Tige," city horse, who formerly was worked
in the department. that while serving the
street commissioner, on some lonely road i'll
the suburbs, he would frequently prick up his
ears and suddenly start for the city without
any apparent reason. When they neared the
city, the driver heard the fire alarm whistles
and bells, which had reached the horses ears
when not sound came to his. 1t was so evil
dent that "Old Tige' knew what he was about
that he always was allowed a free rein and to
do as he pleased generally.
