CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
TUEsDAY.-Cumberland County VS.. Thomas Pen
nell ct ais. Debt on official bond of county treas
urer. This case, though placed under "Cumberland
County" comes from Androscoggin, where it was
brought to trial at the January term, 1876, and
made law on report. After the plaintiffs got their
case showing deficit, defendants offered 10 prove
that the money was taken by robbery Oh the evening
of December 30 1874. The presiding justice ruled
that assuming the robbery proved as offered by the
defendants without the fault of the paintihs, 1t
would constitute no defense to this action and that
as matter of law the plaintiffs were entitled to re-
cover the deficit with interest from January j, 1879.
The plaintiffs took pro forma verdict for $l1 BATS
and defendants excepted.
A. A. Strout argued that the principal was holden
as bailee at common law; that if the county s
money was lost without fault on his part, be would
not be liable.
c. F. Libby and Bion Bradbury contended that as
public officer, he was bound absolutely to safely
keep and to pay over to his successor the balance

SOMETHING NEw.-Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Enoch Carleton appeared on Lincoln Park with
miniature steamboat, which he proceeded to
sail in the fountain basin. The boat was built
to test an invention which consists of wheel
with cups in it, and is placed on the bottom of
the boat When set in mott on it draws the
water to it, or rather draws the boat through
the water, aud thus furnishes the power. Then
the water passes from the wheel through pas
sage way aad is discharged at the stern of the
boat, in this way furnishing additional power.
When the wheel is in motion the water is con-
stantly passing through it and out the stern.
The wheel was turned yesterday by spring
and it propelled the little boat very nicely. The
experiment attracted much attention and the
inventor intends to test the wheel on larger
boat

day, and about noon he struck bad whiskey.
The whiskey made him troublesome and he
showed a great inclination to fight. He went
into store on Franklin street and was soon
assisted into the street. From there he went
to Commercial street and had knock down
fight with sailor. This rather settled him,
and he decided to 60 back to the island. Ac-
cordingly he embarked on the Gazelle, but soon
made trouble and Capt. Oliver ordered him
ironed and he was brought back to the city and
locked up by officer Covell. He says be doesn't

COOKED
CORNED BEEF


Articles are being published calculated
to prejudice the public against using
Cooked COrned Beef, and we would say
in answer to them that in no instance has
positive proof been established to show
that such is the case.
Our GOODS are packed in manner very
similar to that of Corn, Tomatoes. Fruit
and canned goods generally. (which have
long been tested) and we use nothing
whatever Of poisonous nature in their
preparation.
In addition to our own statement we
have the strong endorsement of Prof.
HosfOrd Of Cambridge, one Of the most
eminent Chemists in the country. who
has fully tested and is familiar with the
entire details of the preparation of our
goods.
We would also state that we use none
but the choicest qualities of Beef
that our Chicago market affords, and
trust that with these statements the rap
idly growing popularity of our COrned
Beef may be increased.
For the information of those not know
ing the fact we would state that in the
process Of canning there is liability of
imperfect sealing, which causes the can
to expand. Meat contained in such cans
is unfit for use and will be cheerfully
paid for when returned to any grocer
selling it.

wonderful, especially in Nervous and Chronic Dis
