A large audience greeted the KatN
Putnam troupe at the atheneum last night,
it being their second and last night in this
city The play was 1.-TWO Babes of the
Wood and in rendering it, the actors
all acquitted themselves creditably. Hiss
Putnam's acting was especially good and
she was always greeted with demonstra-
tons Of pleasure by her many sincere Cairo

between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets.
There is nothing very remarkable about
this fact, but it is somewhat remarkable that
on the night in question, and
place mentioned, Mr.. Summerwell
should have permitted himself to fall from
the walk and brake one Of his ribs. BIT
what is more remarkable than all this is
the fact that he brought a suit for damages
against the city for this
his seeming neglect, and en-
ployed Hon. ID. Y. Linegar, who yesterday
plead his case in the circuit court. The
