The Legal A d v i n e r savst -"Two years ago a Bloom- Itiglou merchant obstructed the side­ walk with oil barrels . A man was hurt in consequence.and'sued the city for 55.000. He recovered §150 "and costs. The city then sued the merchant for the amount i t had to pav out for dam­ ages. resulting from this act. And the case, after two trials In the circuit court and one in tSe appellate court, has just been decided in favor of the city. They recovered all they paid out and intTest. This fft 'ems to settle the question of responsibility in such case* and will become1 a precedent in all fu ture trials." . -\ . . WE d«sire to give a word of advice to lliofce of our reader^ wishing to pur­ chase goods of any description, name­ ly: Buy of your lioni^ dealers--heip to build up the «littereh| industries of your ow^ town.
