condemn the course Of the delegates
in said Legislature from. this county,
in voting for loans and large appro-

construction af improvements of more
than questionable utility, and that
must necessarily lead 10 a heavy Stale

dit as a State, and also our general
prosperity. e 90
Rssolred, That our delegates who
voted for said appropriations are
hereby requested TO move a reeonsid.

interesting to Hotel Keepers.

An important decision 20 Hotel
Keepers was made at the December
term of The Supreme Judicial Court in
Berkshire county. The agent Of the
Berkshire Wooden Company, cameto
Boston to attend lawsuit for the
Company, bringing with him some
twenty-five witnesses, whose board he
ewas to pay, and all put up atthe MARI
rboro' Hotel on the list of October,
then kept by N. S. Prostor. On the
cd or Sd Of November, hetrupk Of
the agent was broken open, and $500
Of the money was stolen therefrom
with which he had to pay the expen-
ses ofhimself and his witnesses. The
defendant proved that he had a safe,
and that his guest ought to have de-
posted his money in it, or'let him
know lie had so much money with
him; also that the agent was not a
traveller but boarder Judge Flet.
,chcr ruled in substance, that if,he
loss was produced by the carelessness
of the agent, the hotel keepers were
not liable. aud that knowledge by
said agent of the custom to deposit
large sums in the safe, and his not
complying with. it, would amount to
ouch carelcssncss, hut that unless the
'hotelkeepers could clearly prove such
knowledge Ny said agent they must
be held liable; also that hotel keep
ers arc Liable for the safety of the
goods and the money of their guests.
Judgment was accordingly rendered
for the plaintiffs. This decision set
