Lake and Brown, in December 1875, and an
order Of maintenance made by Justices Seals
and Banghart and directed to said Charles
Aipaugh Overseer Of the Poor Of Alexandria
township. Previous to this he had given the
father of Catharine Haughawout So to help
keep his daughter, out Of mere pity for the
family, aud now the father is seeking to hold
him for the maintenance Of the mother during
her sickness, and for the support Of the child
TO the time OF bringing this suit. After re-
ceiving the order Of maintenance Mr.. Alpaugh
gave Mr. Haughawout SEQ, for which he gave
him receipt in full to the time of the pay
ment of the same, and requested Alpaugh to
see the man who kept the poor in said town
ship and sec if he would not give something
for keeping the child and mother as they
would not 90 TO the poor house TO stay, and
he could not afford TO keep them for nothing;
and that after the payment Of said last mem
toned sum, Alpaugh had told him he would
have nothing more to do with keeping him..
Haughawout received letter from Alpaugh
stating that he had seen the keeper Of the
poor, and he was willing to give sixty cents 4
week for keeping them. The Court held that
If verdict was against Alpaugh, he could not
hold the township for reimbursement, and
that if the receipt was given in good faith it
twas conclusive at the time it was given.
Verdict for plaintiff, s35.ss.
The next cause tried was Griffith Williams
ct al Y. Wilson o'Daniel This action was
exceptions taken to the. account Of the de-
PENDANT presented to said plaintiffs, assig-
nees Of James Bird. The account was proven
to be excessive, being for the use Of a horse
and labor Of defendant for about years, at
81 each per day. in all amounting to $4,000,
or threabouts. During saidstwo years the. de-
PENDANT resided in the family Of said Bird.
Verdict for assignees not allowing the claim.
The next cause tried was Edward r. Solli-
day v. Charles Humphreys ct al. This action
was brought to recover the value of part of a
boat load Of stones shipped to Philadelphia
by said plaintiff, and the balance of said de-
PENDANTS, asa sample, in view of securing
contract for the sale of large quantity of
stones. He, the plaintiff, failed in getting
the contract and left the stones on the wharf
in Philadelphia. Some time after this the de-
PENDANT told the plaintiff that he had the pros
pect of getting contract and would put his
stones in and allow him $1.70 per square yard
for them. The stones were removed from
the wharf, and some time after this the de-
PENDANT paid the freight on them to Solliday.
Defence was that he sold his portion of the
stones to Solliday, and never agreed to pay

RALSToN'S WIDOW
A Confidence Man for a Companion.

New York, Dec. THE Tribune,
speaking of the late Ralston's wife and
her questionable conduct in Paris, says:
j. A. Candor, travelling companion
of Mrs. Ralston, is recognized here
as notorious confidence man. De-
tectives say five years ago he was known
as one of the shrewdest confidence op-
orators in the city. His plan was to get
acquainted with foreigners who were
about to return to Europe and pretend
he was going on the same steamer. and
that his baggage was already on board.
He would then borrow all the money
he could get his victims to trust him
with, and disappear. Lassalo Cham
dor, his father, was one of the most no.
torious confidence men in the United
States about thirty years ago, and
served n term in the penitentiary for
defrauding Charles Joseph Affner out
out of large sum of money and jewel
ry. His trial occupied the court six
days, and was quite celebrated. One
of the defendants counsel was Joseph
L. White, at one time a prominent law
Yer of California.

friends how easily and quickly they
had been cured by its use. The great
merits Of Green's August Flower be-
came heralded through the country by
one sufferer to another, until, without
advertising, its sale has become i'm
mense. Druggists in every town in
the United States are selling it. No
person suffering with Sour Stomach,
Sick Headache, Costiveness, Palpita-

tion of Ryan corresponds exactly with
that Of Corporal Ryan of Co. G, 7th
Cavalry, who wasreportedand supposed
killed in theaction referred to. General
Terry credits tie whole story and sug-
gests a movement for rhis release. Secre-
tary McCrary sent this document to the
Secretary of State, requesting an inves-
tigation and application for Ryan's re-
lease. Accordingly Secretary Evarts
has written Sir Edward Thornton at
the British legation, who, in turn, COM
municated with the Governor General
of Canada, under whose supervision
Sitting Bull now lives, and Major
Walsh will be instructed to ascertain
in some way if this remarkable story is
true, and if true to demand the release
of RYAN.
