Some Legal Matters.

Nearly Il weeks time of the Washing
ton County court ut Montpelier. was
taken up i'll trial of ii case for damages
on the highway. We copy from the
lrGWs Il resume of the case:
Hubbard +. Du,gjn \ rite rs. Torn OF
DdHrHIc. This was an action of the
case for injuries received by Jeanette
Dmgin on account of an alleged defect
i'll the highway. The story of the
plaintiff and his wife was to the follow
ing effect On the 18th of january. 1872
they started i'll sleigh from their home
III East Cabot to go to Danville Green.
for the purpose of attemdinga ball. AL
most Immediately after passing the
railroad crossing ut West Danvillc. they
were tipped out. at Il spot where the
road had been put into IL very bad con-
ditlon 10y the snow ploughs on the rail
road. Mrs. Durgin did not seem to he
hurt at the time. noticing only IA slight
headache, and they proceeded to the
bail, where she danced four times.
While attempting to dance the fifth
time her limbs refused to act. and she
WAS obliged to leave the floor. She was
taken home as soon as possible, and put
tn bed. The next morning il was found
that she was unable to walk. and was
suffering great pain i'll the pelvic region.
DIR. WiSwall. of Cabot was called to see
her. and after the examination, said
that she had Il retroverSion of the womb
and Il partial paralysis of the limbs.
This paralysis gradually left her: but
the pain i'll her belly still continued. and
last June tumor burst in the pelvic
cavity. of the kind known lis hematocle
Or blood tumor, and discharged Il large
quantity of pus and coagulated blood.
1t has burst twice since then. Mrs.
Durgin was sustained in her account of
her injuries by several witnesses. the
most noteworthy of whom. however.
were DIR. Asa George, of Calais. and DIR.
5. l.. WiSwall. who attended her pro-
fcssionally. These gentlemen said that
her case was hard one, and that pro-
badly she could not recover. The de
fence tacitly conceded the bad condition
of the road, and devoted themselves to
attacking the testimony on the part of
the plaintiff us to the woman's cuudi-

Some of the Work Laid Out for the
Next Congress.

Mr.. Simon Cameron has been so com
munlcative as to inform an inuuirinr
newspaper correspondent that the an
preaching session of Congress would he
devoted To Il discussion of the law i'll
creaSln% salaries, and To the trluSpor-
tatlon question. 1t has. besides. been
reported. within the past week. that
the Senate COMMITTEE on TRANSPORTATION
which has been wandering about the
country the past summer, has agreed
to report, when Congress meets. rec
ommendlng that the government buiId
three canals to facilitate the transpor-
tatlon of productions between the east
ana the west; one canal from the
James river through the Allegheny
mountains, known as the James River
Il kanawha canal one which shall he
practically new mouth for the Miss
lsslppI river; and one into Lake Cham
plain. or perhaps, instead of that. Il
purchase by the government and en-
largcment of the Erie canal. Senator
Carpenter of Wisconsin. who is not :,
member of the committee on transpor
tation, has recently been informing the
grangerS of the Northwest, that in his
judgment Congress has unlimited DOW
er over the railroads of the country
and can and ought to regulate price of
freightS aud, besides, ought to build y
freight raoilroad from the west to the
seaboard, and go into the business of
freight transportation on its own ac-
count. 1t is obvious enough that Mr.
Cameron is right in his opinion that the
next Congress will hear great deal
about the transportation question.
To one accustomed to look upon
government of any kind-except ALSO
lutte governments rightly and for the
public good pretty much limited to the
business OF securing to each member of
the government his undisturbcd rirht
to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi
ness, the present demand that the GOV
eminent shall go into all sorts of bust
ness, and undertake schemes and spec
ulations that individuals will not mt
their money into, is somewhat start
ling. If our theory and plan of gov
ernment have changed into a sort of
mutual insurance copartnership. in
which everything is to he made love
ly to everybody and the treasury is to
he the common fund from which all
bills are to be paid, it is quite time the

child in her arms, she fell down a stair
way, and striking pail of water at the
foot, fractured her spine, and died a
short time after in great agony. Her
intended husband had followed her,
and died few days before the accident
with the yellow fever. 1t is intended
to bring both bodies home for interment
as soon as possible.
The state election of last week re-
suited in a large republican majority.
1t is much to be regretted however,
that the voice of the people in this city,
at the recent election in regard to the
liquor question, was greatly in favor of
license. Perhaps somewhere in the
good time that is forever coming, sue
cess will crown and will then remain
with the no license party.

That the Vienna exhibitors, duly ap-

UNIFORMITY OF TENT BOOKS
Fifteen Years ago. after full drlihcrn-

. system are obvious. Books are no Ion

Teachers know in what tcxt-houkS they
are to he examined and from wat they
are t" teach, for five Years at least. in
