This Step Against the Founder or
aggerated-iII Quiet Now.

The feeling among the citizens OF Bar
ton Heights was much better last
night than q, has been for several
days. During yesterday nearly all the
property-holders in that beautiful sub
urb who had not already had the
title TO their real estate examined had
abstracts Of their deeds made; and, go
far as could be learned on the Heights
last night. the results were generally
satisfactory.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. ID. c. Richard
son, as counsel for John T.. Rose e
Co.. dealers in stoves and tinware on
east Main street, sued out an attach
ment against the household effects OF
Mr.. James II. Barton. This was done
to satisfy a claim of $500 Of that frm
against Mr.. Barton for work done. Fur
ther than this no legal proceedings were in
stituted yesterday although there were
rumors that other steps We're to BE- taken.
THE COUNCIL MEETS.
At the meeting of the Town Coun-
ell last night the greatest confidence
was expressed i'm the future success OF
Barton Heights. and, while 10 tidlrgs had
been received from Mr.. Barton, who
went North on Tuesday, the hope was
entertained that he would soon return
and explain the .nany mystifyng reports
