80. The June session Of the Addison
County Court closed on Saturday last.
The causes tried since our last are as fol-
lows: (
In the case Bank of Middlebury, against
the town of Rutland the jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff for Sl4,051,S6.
Luther M. Kent against the town of

sonal injuries to the plaintiff occasioned by
insuficiency of highway. The jury re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff for 1925.
The case of the State against Davis for

I'VE learn rhat the President and
Fellows of Middlebury College held
special meeting in this village on Friday
the 18th inst. for the purpose of filling
the vacancy in the Board of Instruction,
occasioned by the resignation of Professor
Boardman.
Samuel W. Boardman, of Norwich VT,
was unanimously elected. 1t is expected
that the Professor elect will enter upon
his duties at the beginning of the next
Collegiate year in September. We con-
graduate the Trustees Of the College on
their success in filling this important chair
of instruction so speedily and so well. No
one who heard the very able Grafton of
Mr.. Boardman for The Masters Degree in
1854, will doubt his ability to sustain the
Office, reputably to himself and acceptably
to the College.
The following resolutions were unan-
imousy adopted at the last Communica-
ton of Union Lodge in this place.

God in his infinite wisdom, to remove by
