The most laushable occurrence of the
debate in the House yesterday was the
response to Garfeld's exclamation in re-
ply to Hills declaration that he wished
to have all old animosities buried. The
Ohioan struck an attitude and said, So
do l but who is responsible for bringing
them up here ?" and the answer came
from all quarters of the hall, Blaine"
The effect was perfectly ludicrous.

Vermont Horses.

| notice going the rounds of the press
that the noted horse Forest King, raised by
Willis II. Holltster, in Pawlet, has been
sold to George Haner, of Schaghticoke, N.
Y, for the handsome sum of three thousand
dollars. The lineage of Forest King is
traced back through Bishops Hamiltonian
to the imported horse Messenger through
both its sire and liam. This breed of horses
are slower in reaching maturity than some
particularly Vermont breeds, as for iu-
stance, the more COM act anil hardy Nor
gans and Blackshanks. In fact they ale
noted rather for speed than endurance
Messenger was gray horse, though the
prevailing color of the bee is dark bay
The mother of Forest King was gay and
was the innocent cause # litigation between
its owner and the town of Pawlet. She re-
ceived serious injury through an alleged In
sulliciency of the highway eight years since,
when her owner applied to the select men
of Pawlet for damages.
The parties could not agree on the
amount of damages but agreed to refer the
case to John S. Parvis of Dandy, A. II +,
Denis, then of Rupert, and Henry McFad-
den of Wells, as arbitrator, and abide
their award. The arbitrator awarded $l15
and costs. The select men then refused to
pay the award. alleging, on the advice of
counsel, that they hal n" power to settle
for damages on account of the insu'liceIcy
of the highway. uollster, after waiting a
year, commenced a suit against the town
on the award. The justice, Artemas Lewis
of Wells, gave Judgment for the amount
claimed, when it passed to the county
cour., Judge Wheeler presiding, which
promptly affirmed the judgment of the
justice court.
1t then passed Ia the supreme court,
which affirmed tie judgment Of the county
court. The case was entered in the Yer
mont reports, and now stands as Vermont
law that the select men of town have the
right to settle for damages caused by the
insuflicieDcy % the highway. This will
probably stand until reversed by a counter
decision or by statute The gray mare
was utilized in stock raising and her first
colt was the horse in question, Forest King.
