OILS, Jr., over the dasher, bruising his head

He was assisted home and at last accounts

Jonathan Cram, of South Reading, while
recently pitching oats from q scaffold, fell
backward upon the barn floor, and was
seriously injured. 1t is feared he will not

1t appears that some parties in Sharon
have been acting foolish. We find in the
Journal the following account of law
case tried at the present session of the
county court: Orlin & Abby B. Chamber
lain V. Marshall & Adeline Rix and three
daughters. This case arose under the fol-
lowing circumstances: Mrs. Chamberlain
and Miss RiX. now Mrs. Richardson one
OF the defts. while social game of cards
was in progress, at the house of MIR. Rix,
exchanged rings, as Mrs. Chamberlin in
sisted afterwards. in earnest and for good,
but as Miss RiX afterwards insisted only
in fun or for two weeks. The two weeks
having expired and Mrs. c. after lawful
demand OF the ring in her possession and
tender of the ring in Miss RS possession.
refused to give up the ring, claiming she
had traded in good faith, &C., and very
naturally this gave rise t vigorous fam
lily. neighbOrhood and even town warfare.
the good citizens of Sharon having ar
ranged themselves on either side. The
usual quantity of back-biting. slandering
and insulting took place between the con-
tending factions, but still Mrs. Chamber
lin kept possession of the ring, with good
deal of cackling. Things remained in stdtu
quo until one bright and beautiful after
noon, Mrs. Chamberlin had gone to the
blackberry lot to pick berries, and there
met Mrs. RiX and her three bouncing
daughters. After the usual flourish of
trumpets, and preliminary diminishing.
the four RiX women advanced in good Or
der, seized Mrs. c. threw her down. and
with force and Violence, wrenched the
ring from her finger, and left her bruised,
bleeding and fainting on the field of battle,
whilst the victorious RiX army retreated,
bearing the ring as 4 trophy of their valor.
For this assault and battery this suit is
brought. The trial occupied two days,
and resulted in verdict for Plff.. DANA

STATE AT LARGE.
ChicfJustice George b. Martin. of Mich
igan. died at Detroit, Sunday. He went
| from Vermont to Grand Rapids in 1885,
and was made circuit judge before he was
30 Years old.
The State temperance convention was
held at Rutland. 1t was resolved that the
confidence of Vermont in prohibitory leg
iSlation is undiminished. and that it was
the duty of the temperance men to prose
/ cute the reform both by legislation and by
personal labors. The receipts of the ASSOC
citation during the past year were some
thing less than 5000. out of which the
salary of the agent had to be paid.
The new railway postal service has been
organized ON the Vermont Central, with
3. ID. Hopkins of st. Adams as chief head
clerk. The patent ''catchers" are erected
at small stations. so that through train
can take mails without stopping.

AS the time for the assembling Of
the coming Session Of our Legislature
approaches Railroad excitement in
tensihes. II viii be one Of the impor-
tant duties Of that body to establish .
general system Of Railroads for the
State, or at least to devise, from the
many applicants for aid, in what man
ner and to whate extent the publiclands
Of the State are to be set apart to aid In
their construction. The River towns
have their projected lines running
west. The Nemaha and Big Blue
Vsllies each present strong claims for
public aid, and in any system Of ap-
preparations that may be adopted the
claims of all are to be considered. We
have for this purpose 100000 acres Of
the best lands Of the State, estimated
now to be worth s., Co., OO, and we
hope this munifcent sum, in the ex-
element Of the hour, win not be fritz
tered away, so that really necessary
roads will receive no material assist
ance from the donations they get. We
are aware that the public mind is in
no favorable mood to wisely dispose Of
this greattrust. They demand prompt
and immediate action. They viii brook
no delay not ven sufficient, we fear,
to adjust the law Of appropriation 20
the future well being Of the State.
There is danger that from too much.
excitement and haste the power Of the
State to aid will be exhausted without
adequate return for the money Wehave
to invest. The aid Of the State should
