Joel Leighton ct ux. vs. S. A. Packard g. al Ac-
ton the to recover damages alleged to have

dentists in this city. Mrs. Leighton testified that she
employed the defendants to extract her decayed
teeth and make her temporary set of artificial
teeth; that in doing they gave her ether and adj
ministered it in such a careless way that she was i'll
from the effects of it for eight weeks; that defendants
not only pulled out the decayed teeth but two sound
ones; aud further that the plate after it COM
pleted did not it, but hurt her mouth that she has
been unable to wear it more than two or three days
at time, and that very seldom. For all of which the
plaintiffs claim to recover damages The defendants
denied that there any mal-admnistration of the
ether that it administered in the usual and
tomary way that it of the best quality, and that
she was under its influence only about fifteen min
utes, after which she seemed to have recovered from
its effects and left their Office. Defendants offered
medical testimony, to the effect that her symptoms
which she described as taking place three four days
after the operation could not have been the result of
the ether the effects of it rarely last longer than
three days. and that only in persons where the vita
ty is very low, and never returning after hay
ing disappeared Defendants also put in the testimo
ny Of other dentists, that the workmanship of the
plate was good that it necessary to take out the
two sound teeth in order to make the plate fit, and
that the fact that it did not fit was indication
that it did not when completed inasmuch she had
worn them but little and the mouth had shrunken.-
1t appears in evidence that defendants had previous
to this suit sued plaintiffs for the price of the set of
teeth and they aege that that is the this suit
is commenced.
The jury after being out fifteen minutes returned
verdict for the defendants.

AUGUSTA.
Business Of the Legislature.

Especial by international Lne.l
AUGUSTA, Jan. 1.-The address of Governor
Perham meets the general appreciation of the
members and those in attendance.
The most important business in hand now is
the making up of the committees. The pres
sure in the House seems to be for the judiciary
and craftsmanship of leading committees
Senator Morris has presented a bill to reduce
the time on which the mortgagor of real estate
shall redeem, from three years to one; also
a bill to institute free high schools, which
provides that any town which shall deposit
with the State Treasurer $1,000, or any stated
sum, shall receive the interest of double that
sum to be appropriated to the support of free
school.
THE PUBLIC LANDS.
The question of the proprietorship of certain
lands is likely to be soon tested as the Execu-
tive Council in one of its last sessions passed
an order directing the Land Agent to prosecute
such parties as are cutting timber under permits
from the European & North American Rail-
road Company as trespasses. The result will
be watched with interest
SCHOOL SUPERVISION.
Superintendent johnson is making up some
of the last figures of his report, and these are
certainly gratifying The cost of County
Supervision, including salaries and every other
item for the year is $15,649.96. The sum ap-
propriated was $4,000. The whole expense of
the institutes will not exceed $500. The
amount appropriated was $4,000. Forty in
stitutes were held during the year, attended by
1000 teachers. This year every institute was
conducted by residents of the State.
The Legislature will probably adjourn from
to- morrow to Monday. -'G-s

[From The Medical Gazette of June oath, 1911
For about months have been using KEN
NEDY's CONCENTRATED EXTRACT OF PINUs
CANApENsIs in affections of the rectum, vagina
and cervix uteri, and consider it most val
liable remedy. / have used it diluted with We
ter as vaginal wash, with great success; but
prefer to apply it to the os aneae on cotton
wool, either pure or mixed with glycerine, Or
glycerine and rose-water Thus applied, it
should remain intact for two or three days and
then be renewed. In this way have seen
chronic granular vaginitis remedies in few
days that had resisted the ordinary remedies
for weeks; have seen granular erosions, with
leucorrhe disappear very rapidly under its use.
l have not time to say all that could about
it; but 1 am sure that it will soon be recognized
as valuable addition to our Materia Mediea.
Knowing Mr.. Kennedy as dol can confident
ly commend him to my professional brethren.
His method of manufacturing the extract Is
such as to warrant it of uniform strength and
purity.

SPANISH MILITARY EXPENDITURES.


A CLUE TO THE WINDSOR LOCKS HORROR
HARTFORD, Conn, Jan. 4.-Pending the ex-
animation before the jury of inquest over the
Windsor Locks horror to-day a clue was OBJ
tanned to the perpetrators of the deed. 1t APP
pears that on the 9th of December two young
men, apparently French Canadians, and giving
the names of George and Edward Davis, and
claiming to be brothers, engaged as wood chop
pers with Hannibal Wright of North Suffield
not far from the farm where the tragedy oc-
Cured. They occupied a small house by them
selves, and told the people of the neighborhood
that they had brother and sister living in
Washington, Mass. They borrowed guns, one
an old fashioned flint lock- which had been
altered over of MIR Wright. On Saturday last
they disappeared, taking the guns with them.
One wore light Overcoat very much worn on
the shoulders, and had on rubber boots, and
the other was dressed in dark clothes. One is
a little taller than the other The guns, which
were the weapons to DO the killing, were found
on Wednesday, and one has been identified as
that which Wright owned The description
given of the men by those who saw them leav-
ing the house where the triple murder was COM
mitted corresponds with that furnished by per-
sons living where the Davises worked, and
there is no doubt of the identity. 1t was also
ascertained to-day that the murderers, after
leaving Winasor Locks At 4 g clock On Tuesday,
went to Taritfyille, seven miles distant, and
took drinks at saloon, where q large roll of
shnplasters was exhibited, and inquired Of the
proprietor the nearest route to Buffalo, and fol-
lowing his direction they came to this city on
the evening train. Nothing more is known of
their movements, though il is feared they have
gone to Canada and will escape.

RECALL OF CATACAZY.

LONDON, Jan. 4.-Prince Gortschakoff in a
recent communication to Mr. Curtin, the Amer
lean Minister, announces that the Russian gov
ernment has concluded to recall Minister Cata-
cay from Washington. Prince Gortschakoff
writes that the difficulty arose and eliminated
during his absence from the Capital. Instruc-
tions have been sent to Catacazy to transfer the
legation at Washington to other hands and re-
turn to st. Petersburg, The Prince says that
he cannot bat regret that some of the cores
pondence in regard to the matter at Washing
ton appeared wanting in the respect due the
representative of the Russian Empire. He con-
tinues eve shall consider the conduct of
Cataeazy when he has had opportunity of pre-
senting his case in person, as he formally denies
the Justice of the complaints made against him
in Washington. We must suspend judgment
till we have heard his defence" The Prince In
conclusion declares these unfortunate circum-
stances will not, he feels confident, impair the
old and cordial friendship between the United
States and Russia, of which there has been so
recent demonstration in the reception of The

DEBATE.-There was an interesting debate
before the Maine Charitable Mechanics Asso-
citation, at the Mechanics Library Room, last
evening, on the question of the expediency Of
awarding medals, rewards and diplomas, to the
children in our public schools. The discussion
was opened by Mr.. j. T. Walton, who thought
that the practice referred to was injurious be-
cause it offered an inducement to do that which
it should be pleasant duty for all to perform.
He also gave some humorous incidents of school
days half a century ago.
Mr.. S. A. Nash in reply thought that the re-
wards were of benefit to the scholars because
they encouraged them to persevere in their
studies. The question was further discussed by
Messrs. j. I. Emery, j. w. Mansfield and 9TH
er gentlemen.
On next Tuesday evening it is expected that
a lecture on the past, present and future of
Maine will be delivered by a member of the
