EF The following Preain ale and Reso-

Of Washington county, at its recent SIT

presented to the County Court of that
county The subject is one that is worthy
of the attention of the court and citizens
of this county:
WHEREAS, In the performance OF our
duties as Grand Jurors, we have occasion
to notice with shame and regret, large
proportiontion of violations of law and
order that have originated directly or in
directly in or about places where intoxl-
eating drinks are kept for sale. And
whereas, we are duly convinced that
Licensed Dram Shops" are evils in our
midst, exerting bad influence over so
ciety generally and especially destructive
to the morals of the youth OF our land
And whereas the expense incurred by
the county in prosecuting criminal cases
having their origin in drunken rows, etc,
are ten times greater than the amount re-
ceived by the, County Treasurer for Ii
censed Dram Shops, therefore
be IL Resoired, By the Grand jury Of
Washington county, that as matter Of
economy as well as duty we owe the youth
of our land, to our unfortunate fellow
citizens who sometimes lose control of

Louis Napoleon, who had almost been
forgotten. appears again before the pub
lie with a proposition to King William in
favor of peace. He suggests that the war
close by France giving indemnity and dis
mantling the fortresses that menace Prus-
sia, and shrewdly proposes close alliance
between France and Prussia as best for
both. 1t would be y curious sight to wit
ness the captive Emperor leading the way
to peace and return to his throne. The
latter is what he aims at, but there is more
hope of his suggestions as to settlement
being adopted than of his wearing the
crown again.

Rev. J. C. Snow, Principal of the West
brook Seminary, tells the Portland Transcript
a fact worth knowing in time of drouth. He
said that the tin roof of the Seminary board
ing house, owing to its greater condenSing
power than wood, had helped materially in
keeping up a supply of water during the
drouth. Frequently, after a night during
which not drop of rain fell, it would be
found that considerable quantity of water
had run into the cistern, and during the con-
tinuance of the dry time probably hogsheads
of water were caught in this way.

sented the memorial of the late Women'
Suffrage Convention in Boston, making a,

adopted:

ton of the public debt unexampled in history,
has made a faithful and thorough collection OF
the revenues, and has vastly lightened the
weight of taxation which oppressed the indus
tries of the country, and gives promise OF still
further and larger reduction, and we take es-
pecial pleasure in the fact that in the accom-
plishment of these great results the President
has been aided by the Massachusetts, admins
trative ability in the Treasury, Massachusetts,
integrity and energy at the head OF the Com
mittee on Appropriations, and Massachusetts,

mittee on Claims.

The terrible flood in Virginia is severe
calamity to that State, and renders insig-
nificant in comparison any freshet ever
known in this region. All localities have
their advantages and disasters. Last
spring the jewellers on the Kennebec wore
long faces few weeks by reason of the
flood, and some of them resolved to re.
move elsewhere (but did not go) to avoid
future ones. 1t appears, however, thai
there are storms and freshets in othe
places, high and sweeping tides, earth
quakes, thunder and lightning, disease ant
death, and that we are quite as exemp
from them as any people. The sufferer
in Virginia may well lament, for the los
of life and property is appalling.

Land sold by order of the Chsnce~v Court,
whore the parties are not served with process,
conveys no title TO the purchaser and such sale
is void. Themere fact that there was a guardian
ga bten appointed byt Court, who answered
for the minors, does not cure the defect and is
not sufficient to bring the parties in court. An
administrator who purchases at u sale is suppos-
ell 10 purchase the land As trustee torthe heirs,
AS he is the implied trustee for them, and no
statute of limitation will run against the heirs
unless he notify them Of the fact that he holds
adversely TO them. Reverse the decree and
declare the title in the heirs order an account as

ting the vendor drunk the proof must show
that the vendor was in condition of mental
incapacity at the time the trade was made. At

Martin Ct al, VS.. Martin ct. al. Chancery
Weakness of understanding is n strong ground
for fraud all contracts of an agent must be
scrutinized with great care. The absolute
owner Of property has a right TO dispose of it as
he sees fit. Where the evidence shows at the
time the party made the deed he thought he
was making will, excites suspicion and it
devolves on the opposite party to show clearly
by proof that the party was of sound mind and
that the transaction was fairly done. The fact
that the deed was annotated is a strong cirsum-
stance to show fraud. Where man seventy
two years old makes deed of all his property
to two of his sons, and excludes all the other
heirs, the proof must show clearly that the deed
was made freely and voluntary. Reversed.
NICHOLSON, Special Judge.
The Court adjourned yesterday.
