A few months since, as Northampton dry
goods merchant was about leaving town to make
his springs purchases, he gave his cashier orders
to pay his quarters store rent, which would be
due in few days; but the cashier forgetting 10
do it, the merchant on his return was confronted
by an attorney, and the matter compromised BY
paying 10 cents interest money and the attorney
a fee OF SO. At the expiration OF the next quar-
ter, the aforesaid cashier appeared at the dwell
ing of the man of money at ~ o'clock at night
armed with bag of gold, and aroused him from
his slumbcrs, who came to the door, and, in his
usual moderate tone, said, "Y-o-u-n-g man.

slowly, but that door when it closed didn't make
noise quite as loud as thunder, leaving the
cashier to take the gold back to the vault. The
rent bill was paid at business hours, but the de-
manded apology at last accounts had not been
made.

| NEW HAMPsuIRE.-Hon. Jonathan f. Sar-
gent of Wentworth has been appointed associate
justice of the Supreme Court of New Hamp-
shire, to fill the place created by an act of the
late Legislature. Mr.. s. was a Judge of the
Common Pleas Court during its four years cx-
istance.
The Supreme Court, composed of Chief Jus
tice Perley and associate Justices Eastman, Bell,
Sawyer and Fowler, commenced their law term
for Cheshire and Sullivan counties at Keeno,
on Tuesday of last week. The Sentinel gives
the following report of an interesting and i'm
portont decision:
On Wednesday the Chief Justice occupied three
hours in the delivery, to quite large audience the
opinion Of the court in the chancery suit of the rrn
tartan Society Of Dublin, to divert to their use the
fund Of $1,000, left, in 1917, by the late Rev. Edward
Sprgue for the support Of the Christian ministry of
the Congregational persuasion" in Dublin, where he
had ociated rs their minister for about forty years
"A small portion of tlr society seeded, many years
after the unanimous settlement Of Rev DIR. Leonard
In 1920, and now sue for the use Of the fund.- though
for 30 years after Mr.. Sprngucs DEATH such claim
preferred. The plaintiffs depended mainly on the
assumed ground that Unitarans are not Congregation
alists THAT they do not adhere to the Assemblies
Catcchsm, &c. &c. The decision mainly rested on
the fully established belief of the court that Congre-
gationaism had especial reference to church govern
ment and poty and not to any set Of particular doc
trines-Dr. LeOnards views were well known at his
settlement, ms well as the Rev. Mr.. Scwas, to whom
call was previously given. Plainly, the fund was
intended for the then existing Congregational society,"
We do not find that he pldind6s haze made out their
case"
Judge Perley's decision was a learned paper show
ing long and patient research md of covering
English us well rs American decsios with references
to existing cases
As the Chief JHstice took occasion TO remark that
he was himself member of Rev. DIR. Bouton's society
in Concord it may not be improper to say is under
stood that four of the five justices attend orthodox
churches.

at Windsor two weeks since, thus writes to the
Free Press concerning the Prison:
"Agreeably to the invitation of Col Harlow,

visited our attention was directed TO the noted
Bristol Bill, who is certainly the last man that
one only acquainted with his history would Sc

prison breaker. His appearance is that of
broken down feeble old man, emaciated and
grey haired his countenance expresses q hope
less misery, and his whole appearance is calcu-
lated TO excite the pity of those who see him.
He looks neither to the right or left, not even
giving the visitor a single glance of his cold
grey eye. His work is smoothing off the snaths.

in it, and on his pillow lay copy of the Bible,

the same employment, sits our old Burlington
acquaintance, NICK brunch; he was hard at
work, and the overseer informed me, gave them
no trouble whatever. The "reminiscences of
Nick in the cistern, where during a former term
he was put TO compel him TO work, and where
he outwitted the officers by taking off his only
garments, and stopping up the hole that admit

familiar to your readers But his constitution
al antipathy to bodily exercise appears to have
been overcome, and it is to be hoped that if he
ever gets out, he will use his newly discovered
abilities in getting an honest living.
The discipline OF the prison appears to be
admirable, and it was generally remarked that
the prisoners worked with steadiness and will
