The famous picture in the Art Gal.
lery at St. Johpsbury was the cause Of a
.suitr in one Of the courts Of N. Y. last
week. The following report Of the trial
We found in the Tribune of last Wednes.
day:
The picture dealer, John Snedicor,
sued A. 5. Hatch, the banker, in the Ma
rine Court, Part H., yesterday, to rscov-
or 1904, which he claimed was due him
for the sale of Bierstadt's 'Domes of the
Yosemite for Mr., Hatch. MIR. Hatch in
his defence, said that, while attending an
art sale, the picture was unexpectedly
struck off TO him for s5,O50. and not
wishing to put it up in his own house. he
requested the plaintiff to take it to his
gallery until he decided what to do with
it. He did not consider the price he
paid for the picture as any criterion of IT'S
true value. as it was originally sold for
$4,000. He told the plaintiff that if
he could sell the picture for anything like
its real value, he would be willing to pay
him liberal commission The picture
remained in the art gallery for about
year, and was finally sold through the ei-
forts of his brother TO Mr.. Fairbanks,
maker of scales, who wished to give it to
his native town of St. John>bury, VI.
On this account he consented to transfer
the picture to Mr.. Fairbanks, charging
him only what he had actually paid for
the picture. Mr.. Sredicor admitted that
he had nothing TO do with eficctng the
sale himself, but claimed that by the
agreement between himself ami Mr.Ha,ch,
he was to pay 10 rer cent commission if
The picture was sold while in his posses
sion, whether be effected the sale HIMSELF
Dr. not. Mr.. Hatch denied that he ever
agreed to pay any commission, except on
he conditions as stated. Judge McAdam
charged the jury that the question involv-
ID was one of fact only, whether the
agreement by the plaintiff was made or
lot. 1t they were satisfied 1t was made,
he plaintiff was entitled to recover the
mount claimed. with interest but if
lot the verdict should be for the defend.
mt. The jury gave verdi CT in favor of
Nr. Hatch. A. D. Williams. for the

wooden box. made securely tight and
placed ia the cellar of the house. II is
now intimated that the bodies will be dis

or medical college. and that DR.. Joe Hol.
lingsworth. brother Of the do ctor who
attend the twins, is authorized to make
the bargain. The figure given as the

death of Eng was not caused by an artery or
vital connection through the ligiament that

such vital connection, because he has at.

other in good health, and when there was

The Postmaster Genera! has replicd
to the resolution Of the Senate with regard
to the franking privilege. He is thorough

one feature Of the privilege which was

abuse the repeal Of which Mr.. Cresswe.l
says he never recommended ard which in
his opinion may be safely restored. This
is the free distribution of weekly papers

A member of the Saginaw county
bar, was recently in one of our thriv-
ing interior towns on profession bus
mess. In the Office of the hotel he
was accosted by very agreeable
gentleman, evidently of the geaus
drummer, who wanted to know
"where he was from" The legal
gentleman not exactly relishing the
strangers familiarity, answered
short "From Detroit" The next
question was, 'sFor what house are
you travelling ?" "For my own"
"Are you May l ask your name ?"
"You may" Pause-enjoyable to
the lawyer, embarrassing to the 9th
er. swell, what is yoIr name ?"
"Jones." "What line are you in ?"
81 do not understand you." "What
are you selling ?" "Brains." The
drummer saw his opportunity, and
looking at the other from head to
foot, he said slowly, swell, you
appear to carry deuced small line
of samples" Blackstone says he
owes that drummer one.

A Fish Story,

The curious fate of fish caught in
the Sassafras river, in Kent county,
M aryland, is thus related by a COR
respondent 4: A fish-hawk stole a
very fine pickerel from the seine of
some fisherman, when an eagle who
had been watching the operation
gave chase, and compelled the hawk
to drop his prey. This was seized
at once by the eagle and approbria-
ted to his own use. William Shall
cross, who resides there, had been
looking on, and succeeded in fright
ening off the eagle. As the fish was
not injured, he took it home, intend.
ing it for supper. While the cook
was looking another way the cat in
her turn captured the pickerel, and
began to devour it. Just then a
hound belonging to the family came
along, and concluded to assert bis
rights in the matter. He drove
away the cat and ate the fish him
selt-which closes its history. And
this is true fish story.

THE ORANGE HEAo.cENTER.
From Moulton Headlight.


If the prevalent stories afoat in
the land are true, there is a main
screw loose in the Grange headquar-
ters at Washington. It has been
openly charged that the whole agri-
cultural Department at Washington
is "rotteD," and with so much show
of truth that Congress at it's last ses-
sion cut down the appropriation to it
nearly one-half, and in the debate on
the question fearful charges were
made against leading men in this
Department. One Saunders, Presi-
dent of the National Grange, seems
to be the brains of this Department,
and is running things to the general
disgust of people who know what he
is at. One Kelly, the Secretary of
the National Grange, two or three
years ago was a poor clerk in one of
the Departments. Now he drives a
spanking team on Pennsylvania Av-
enue, with gold mounted harness,
and other equipments to match.
Why is this thus? 1t is said these
men are paid largely for their conf
dental recommendations by manu-
facturers. Will not this matter bear
little investigation !? Is the West
to be forever humbugged by East
ern demagogues and sharpers

GATES SPEECHATM MOUlTON.
From Moultnp Record


Never was there a weaker, more
ridiculous and contemplate effort
made by candidate for Congress.
1t consisted alone of a sing-song
charge of corruption and reckless
ness, without the merit even of hint
of remedy, save the sending of
Gates to Congress.
Should Gates make that speech in
every school district in this District,
the election of Judge Sampson will
be assured by 1900 majority. To our
certain knowledge Gates made elk
votes for Sampson in the small audi
ence that listened to him here.
Good bye, Gates good bye Joe,
don't stay long.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS MARRIED.

The shell that once has learnedito sing
The sweet song of the sea,
Never forgets the soughing notes
Of that deep symphony;
But ever from It's winding throat
The lingering music sighs,
Soft as angel breath that bears
Celestial harmonies.
Thus through the spiral of the years,
AS voices breathe from shells,
There come sweet notes of JOY to day,
From distant marriage bells
Sweet marriage bells, dear marriage bells,
That touch chord 80 live,
1t vibrates just as thrillingly,
Through circles twenty five.
"The old is BETTER" bottled up,
AS might be precious tears
The blushing heart-drops of the vine
Draw flavor from the years;
And so to day you taste cup,
AS husband and as wife,
Of eighteen hundred forty nine.
The wine of welded life.
Il, too, grows richer as the years
Their sweets into it pour;
The flagon may hold less and less,
Its worth is more and more.
Oh. may this coil of welded years
Still wind and wind away
Until this silver song becomes
A golden roundelay.
May this blest flagon ne'er be drained,
This wine of life drank up,
Until twenty-five years more

The old Democratic wagon was

slavery, anti emancipation, oprosi-
ton to all the amendments of our
National Constitution, reputation
on the greenback question, and
many other national sins, that would

District, what calamity. Let us

An Effectual Cure for Cancer.
From, tho Amaricap V0luQteer.


Take red oak bark, burn it to
ashes, and make lye !; then boil the
lye till it gets as thick as molasses-
spread it thin on rag or piece of
leather, and apply it to the sore for
an hour and half then take it off,
put another of the same on, which is
to remain the same length of time,
when a third is put on, and also kept
on an hour and half. This will
perform an effectual cure. Then
take rosin, beeswax, and sleeps tai

heal the sore. This has never fail
ed to cure the eating cancer. Pub
