and would be back at three o'clock; but thiee
o'clock and six o'clock came, and nothing was
seen of the young man. Dow then started out
in quest of the young man, and found that four
miles this side Of Belgrade depot he had lett his
buggy and borrowed sleigh, keeping on with
that to the depot. Dow returned home Friday

passing through the country buying cattle The

Mayor Hamlin in his excellent address before
the City Council of Bangor, Monday, alludes to
the unjust law in regard to personal injuries oa
highways before it was amended by the last legis-
lature, as if the city of Bangor like our own city
of Augusta, has been a sore sufferer from its ca
PRECIOUS workings. The Mayors language is:
"By an act of the Legislature passed at its last
session, it is believed that the system OF plunder
and robbery of the City Treasury by he payment
of exaggerated sums for alleged damages given
by juries against the city. will now in great
measure be checked. 1t would seem from some
of the reported cases that jurors held the city as
insurers of the lives of travellers upon its streets,
requiring impossibilities at our hands. The law
was intended to work no wrong but parties avail
ing themselves of its techncalities so greatly
abused the statutory right that change became
uecessary"
