AN ELEGANT TURNoUT.-We saw at the
factory of Mr.. c. P. Kimball, yesterday, the
most elegant single sleigh il was ever our good
rtune to examine. We think it even excels
in beauty the famous sleigh Mr.. K. exhibited
at the State Fair. 1t is Mr.. KS patent cor
rugated pattern, painted imperial green top
and dasher, running work fire white richly
striped with gold and carmine, trimmed with
brown silk velvet, and is rich and elegant in
the extreme. This sleigh was built by Mr.. K.
expressly for Dr. o. Fitzgerald, of Dexter, Me.
The Doctor is well known in all the eastern
part of Maine as one of the best looking men

To this beautiful sleigh that cost four hun
bred dollars, the Doctor has hitched one of
the most splendid horses in the country, with
a gold mounted harness to match, making the
team cost in rounds numbers nearly two
thousand dollars. But the Doctors wonderful
success fully warrants the outlay. He is one
of the most skillful men in the country, and
is daily performing miraculous cures of the
most terrible diseases that no man can ac-
count for. All afflicted will do well to consult
him at Merchants Exchange, Dexter, Maine.

JANUARY TERMINATION j., PRESIDING.
THURsDAY,-John Goddard VS.. Edward NJ. Pat
ten. Assumpsit for horse furnished defendant in
1861 in the cavalry regiment at Augusta-$175. The
defendant admits that he had the horse of plaintiff
and that SITS was the agreed price, but puts in de-
fence of payment by personal services rendered Col
Goddard in the fall and winter of 1861 in the cavalry
regiment.
Patterns statement is, that in September 1861, Col
Goddard came to him at Portland, urged him to be-
come Quartermaster of his cavalry regiment; that
he hesitated about going giving his reasons, family
to support and the insufficient pay of lieutenant;
Col. Goddard assured him that the pay should be
objection, and that he would make his pay equal at
least to his own that upon this assurance he went
to Augusta and served some weeks before receiving
his commission, ard continued 10 serve thereafter
some three months, performing not only the duties
of quartermaster, but also ad charge of the oom-
mssary and the ordnance; that he also acted the
private Secretary of Col. Goddard opening his conf
dental letters, both official and private and conduct
ing his correspondence that for these services
Col Goddard promised to pay him, and in the month
of November turned out this horse 10 him account
of extra services rendered, rendering and to be rem
dered, and that no bill has been presented to him for
the horse until this suit was brought.
The plaintiffs counsel contended that Col. God
dard was not liable promise to pay for the SER
vices rendered the Government unless that promise
in writing, under the statute of frauds, and that
the purely personal services rendered Col Goddard
were triling; that personal flvors were mutual
Defendant replies, that the personal services were
not trifing but very considerable; that this
not case under the statute of frauds that the horse
was actually delivered in payment for these extra
services, official as well private, many of which
were already performed.
Col. Sweat argued for defendant and Col. Goddard
for himself
The Judge instructed the jury that they need not
trouble themselves about the statute of frauds; that
if Col. Goddard sold his horse for money then he
recover if to be paid in services he could not
er in this form of action. Verdict for plaintiff for
$179.14. Defendant moves to set aside.

REvERDY JOHNSON On BoNNETs. Minister
johnson has been among the straw-braiders of
Luton, Bedfordshire, and has made a speech
which is as graceful and felicitous as some of
his other speeches. Among other things he
said:
1t is pleasant sight, as L seen have to-day,
to see hundreds of that sex nicely dressed,
in perfect health all manifestly intelligent and
happy, close at work supporting themselves
and those who may be dependent on them, and
ministering to the comforts and enoyments of
those around them. (Cheers.) I only wish for
their sakes that the old style of bonnet was
revived-(much laughter)-the bonnet worn
when there was nothing on the female head
upon which the imagination could dwell, and
when it was not dressed like that of an Indian
squaw. (Renewed laughter.) What those
French artists call bonnets are not bonnets at
all; they are not even caps; do not know that
a ni9htcap would be more beautiful, but GER
tainly it would be more useful.
Having got thus far it seems to have occur
red to Mr.. johnson that he was putting his
foot in it, since his female auditors might not
re fish being compared to squaws. SO he pro-
ceeded to bark back as follows:
What can be more admirable however, even
in the case of those small bonnets, than the
skill and taste with which these lady work
women of yours turn out their productions?
Why, these articles are gems of beauty, and
they make. the female face more lovely-if that
be possible-than it has been made by nature
(CheerS
