there is nobody by the name of Hol-
land in the neighhorhood. Again.
the two tramps didn't "pass that

On Tueseay Capt. 8. X. Berry
met with u very serious and painful
accident. lie was drawing wood
with an OK team, and In going
down a sharp pitch one Of the oxen
stepped on his foot, threw him
down. and the heavily loaded sled
passed over him, breaking his LEG
in four places below the knee. He
was over II mile from help, but sue
ceaded in unyoking his oxen aud
sending them home, which brought
two of his children to look after
him. He had dragged himself
some so rods towards home. 1t was
over an hour and half before they
got him home, thoroughly exhaust
ed and chilled through. The doc.
tors say that he will probably pull
through, as it is next to impossible
to kill "Sole."

1t pays to be lawyer in New

to do. The will case of the late
James Il. Taylor makes an exhibit
that is startling. Mr.. Taylor left
an estate that was worth $oOO,OOO
cash, which has been entirely eaten
up by HE lawyers. One firm gets
$4,000 commission for the sale of
ten shares of Times stock. Other
firms get fees ranging from $4,000
to 100000, and now the litigation
stops because there is nothing more
to pay the harpies with.
The papers in the city have tax
en- the matter up, and are urging
the formation of an association to
resist the robbers. The charges for
legal services are always exorbitant
and oppressive. They have more
the appearance Of robbery than
charges, and there is no use in 90
ing to the courts about it, for the
Judges are lawyers. never de-
eide against the craft. A young
lawyer considers himself amply pro-
vidcd for for two or three wears. i'll
he can become counsel in decent
