The court began on Tuesday of last week,
and the jury calendar showed ninety-eight
cases to be tried by jury, but on calling the
list of cases the number was reduced to
fifty five, and the number will undoubtedly
shrink to less than twenty rs the cases are
in danger of being reached.
Joseph X. Darling, Esq, of East Cor
inth, and Watson I. Dunmore, late prin-
cipal of Bradford Academy, were admitted
to the Orange County Bar.
| The first case for trial was No. II, G. E.
Abbott & Co. Ambrose Vose and Cyrcn
Joslyn. Perrin for plff. Rowell and Clarke
for defts.
On Wednesday No. Il continued till
into the afternoon when it was given to
the jury.
Hiram Blaisdell who was aforetime of
West Randolph left number of " Vose
and Joslyn cases. And those engaged
in them have probably discovered that it
is easier to get into Il law suit than out of
it.
The jury found twelve true bills and got
through their work on Saturday
A full report concerning this and other
proceedings has failed to come to hand.
The Democratic State Convention will
be held at Montpelier, June p.
Decoration Day was duly observed with
interesting exercises by Post BiXby and
the citizens of South Royalton and vicinity
generally. The principal address was by
5. NJ. Gleason, Esq, of Thetford, a rising
young lawyer. 1t was worthy of an ex-
tended report, and was well adapted to
the occasion, we'll written, we'll delivered,
and would take rank among the best de-
livered in the state on that day.
ST. ALBANs BUTTER MARKEr-The
market was firm. Prices: Common to
fair, 90 to 23c medium to good, q to 26c
selections, SOC 1t will be seen that prices
generally show an advance of two cents
per pound on the best grades upon last
weeks quotations.
