Orange County Court.

The court took a recess Friday noon till
Thursday afternoon at two o'clock, in con-
sequence of slump" in the docket.
The prospect is that few more civil cases
will be tried This week will be devoted
to criminal cases, the most interesting of
which, to persons in Montpelier, is that of
the notorious DR." Merriam for rape.
The case of Ira 4. Melendy VS.. the Town
of Bradford, was given to the jury Thurs
day afternoon. Some two hundred wit
nesses were examined, and nine days were
consumed in the trial. The arguments
were by Mr.. S, G. Shurtleff of Montpelier,
and Hon. John w. Rowell of West Ran
dol phi for the plaintiff, and Hon. Dudley G.
Denison of Royalton, and Mr.. Grin Gam
bell of Bradford for the defendant. Judge
Powers charged the jury with even more
than usual ability. Friday morning they
came in and asked the court to instruct
anew as 10 the rule of contributory negli-
gence on the part of the plaintiff, Judge
Powers informed them that the plaintiff
was bound to use ordinary care and pru-
dcnce in looking out for obstacles and de-
fects in the road, and in guarding against
NCuh o JObo III luO llittncSS, eIC'i uuG uO
wasn't obliged to insure himself against
accidents. Returning to consultation, they
came into court again at noon and said
there was no prospect of their agreement,
and the court reluctantly discharged them.
1t turns out that they agreed that the log,
against which the plaintiff struck, was in
the highway wrongfully; but that they
couldn't agree as to whether the plaintiff
used ordinary care and diligence to avoid
it. On this question they stood eight for
the defendant and four for the plaintiff.
The case has been in court four or five
years; there have been two jury trials and
the costs are now enormous, and it seems
as if something must be radically wrong
in the present conduct Of our jury system,
that it cannot be settled. Towns must
send their best citizens as jurors, and not,
as is too often the case, men who would
not be picked out by their neighbors to ar
btrate dog case.
The three cases of the town Of Tun-
bridge VS. Richard Smith and his bonds
men have been referred to the Hon, Asahel
Peck, and will be tried during vacation.
There have already been two trials of one
of the cases, and it is not settled yet; and
II reference of everything to jurist of
Judge Pcck's abilities is by far the wisest
disposal. The suits are for the alleged
nor, payment of taxes on the part of the
constable, Smith, and many intricate ques-
tions, both of law and accounting, will
have to be decided.

" The Conflict Of Ages"

Men differ on nearly every issue. There
have always been opposite parties in poll
ties and religion, though the measures
fought over one day may be universally
adopted at another, and those sacrificed re-
garded MS heroes and martyrs. Medicine
has also been subject to revolutionary dis
turbances. When Drs. Harvey and Jen.
ner announced their discoveries. they were
held in contempt and ridicule by an in
credulous and ignorant public, yet to-day
they are received and honored by all rs
benefactors. When DIR. Pierce announced
his Discovery many seemed to doubt, and
were skeptical concerning all medicines
and doctors, but proof of merit has dis.
PEELED all doubt. and to-day the Golden
Medical Discovery is the standard remedy
in curing the most obstinate diseases Of
the liver and blood, having almost entirely
superseded the old time sarsaparillas by
reason of its superior merits.

Care of the Hair.

A writer in the Harper's Bazaar says: To
get and retain beautiful hair you must at
tend to daily brushing it, occasionally wash
ing it, and periodically trimming it, and
striving at all times to keep the general
health up to the average.
Now as to brushing. The skin of the
head, like that of every other part of the
body, is constantly being renewedinternally,
and throwing off minute scales externally,
and these are removed by means of the
body brush. But it is not so easy to brush
the hair as one might imagine. Few hair
dressers, indeed, know very much about it.
The proper time for the operation then, is
in the morning, Just after you have come
out of you bath, provided your have not
wetted your hair Two kinds of brushes
ought to be found on every lady's tot
let table, a hard and soft. The former is
first to be used, and used well, but not too
roughly; it removes all dust, and acts like
tonic on the roots of the hair, stimulating
the whole capillary system to healthy ac-
ton. Afterward use the soft brush-to
give the gloss from which the morning SUM-
shine will presently CLINT and CLEAN with a
glory that no Macassar oil in the world
could initiate. Whence this gloss you ask.
Why, from the sebaceous glands at the root
of the hair, natures own patent pomade,
which the hard brush does not spread.

One of HeiIer's Miracles.

The New York World says: The trick
known as the "basket trick" which Mr..
Heller introduces as the last feature of his
performance at the Wonder Theatre, ex-
cites great deal of surprise, as it is only
natural it should. The conditions of the
trick are simply as follows: A large basket
is brought out and placed in full view upon
bench supported by four primitive wood
en- legs and leaving an open space between
the basket and the floor. There seems no
possibly way by which human being once
in could get ont of that basket without be-
ing seen. The basket placed by Mr.. Heller
and his assistant, Mr.. Heller next brings
forward a pair of overals which cover him
to the neck and which have no outlet at the
ends of the sleeves or legs. When the
overalls are drawn on and hood drawn
over Mr.. Heller's head and attached to the
main garment by strings, there remains no
outlet for SO much as finger of the per-
former to get through. But as Mr.. Heller
is about to remove his coat for the purpose
of DOMINIC this garment he remembers that
he is in New York instead of Australia
that is his carelessly stated excuse-and a
screen which reaches up to the performers
neck is placed behind the basket, and the
performer retires behind this and effects the
change. So far as one notices his head
does not once disappear during the time he
is employed in drawing on the overalls.
The last vision one has of Mr.. Heller's own
face is disappearing in the ample hood, and
Immediately he steps out from behind the
screen, and, with the help of his assistant,
climbs into the basket, the lid of which is
closed upon him and locked. As far as
any human eye can discover this is Mr..
Heller who has just gone into the basket,
but in the same instant, almost before the
cover is down, Mr.. Heller makes his APP
pearance in ordinary evening costume al
the entrance of the theatre, and walks down
the aisle, inquiring what was being done
with him. He Immediately ascends the
platform, opens the basket, and nobody
is within. The question is still an open
one, GLOW did Mr.. Heller cease to be the
the man in the basket, and whoever the
man in the basket was, how didhe get out p
