Internationally the sum Of S2j.746 II. and
IN addition, other items to the amount Of
about $l5 1000, claimed by the plaintiff, are
reported upon specially. and referred to the
county court This case was the most I'M
pJrtint one, as to the amount in controversy
and the many legal points in the case, ever
tried in this county. The reference of the
case to such board of able lawyers saved
much labor and expense to the parties, and
must necessarily shorten the litigation in the
case, and save much expense to the State and
county. The case wits managed on the part
OF the plaintiffs by Messrs Peck and Colby,
Dillingham; and Vail and on the part Of the
defendants by Messrs. Olive. Of Troy, y. y.
Phelps Of Burlington, and Merrill and Will

The case was argued with much ability hy
Messrs. Colby ana Dillingham; for plaintiff,

During the engagement, which, it will be re-

British soldier stepped from behind a tree,
fired and returned Immediately to his hiding
place. The ball, after passing through a
small portion Of 4 dry tree, struck Remns-

was SO far spen, in passing through the wood,
that the American soldier escaped unhurt-
