ORLEANS COUNTY COURT-.SEP-
TEMPER TERN, 1877.

The first jury trial was between G. W.
Bannister and wife and J. Simonds. The
plaintiffs claimed pay for the services of
Mrs. Bannlster while living with ST.
monds previous to her marriage. The
defendant claimed that Mrs. B. was his
niece, and had made her home with him
and was paid for her services in board
and clothing. The proof showed that
Mrs. B. was left an orphan in 1872, and
went to the defendants to reside, that
she rendered the defendant services
which were valuable, and that she had
not received full pay for such services.
Judgment for plf. for about S42. L. H.
Thompson for Plff., Edwards and Dick
erman for DTS.
The next trial by jury was Oliver
Valley VS.. Horatio Nye. This was an
action of trespass brought against the
defendant, constable and collector of the
town of Barton, for the year 1875. 1t
appeared as evidence that on said DTS ;.
rate bill he had tax against one Moses
S. Murray, and that he had asked said
Murray for the tax several times, but
he had refused and the defendant at last
sold said Murray's house to satisfy said
tax and the same horse for which this
suit is brought, the plaintiff in this case
claiming to have bought the horse of
said Murray before he was seized by the

troduced in regard to the question of
ownership, the validity of the list being
questioned. The court ruled that the
list was bad as against this said Murray,
thereupon the DIT. rested his case. There
was some evidence introduced relative
to the value of the horse. the price va.

five dollars to nothing. Verdict for Plff

The Strife in Bulgaria is proceeding
with desperate earnestness, and if the
Russians are not victorious in their
present fighting with Osman Pasha it
will be certain that the Turkish and
Russian forces are SO evenly matched
that there is not much probability of
the Russians being able to obtain un-
disputed control of Bulgaria. The Rus
sian position in Bulgaria has somewhat
resembled a wedge. with its base at
Sistove, and its thin end at Shipka Pass.
On the east it fronted on the River LON,
on the west on the River Vid. Between
these rivers is distance of sixty miles,
intersected by other rivers, the Osma
and the Jantra. Osman Pasha began
operations by driving the Russians out
OF Plevna, which is to the east of the
Vid, and strongly entrenching himself
there, the ends of his lines resting on
the Vid. In that position, which was
very strong one, he was rashly attack
ed by the Russians, whom he thorough
vi defeated in the three days battle of
Plevna. This unnecessary defeat has
had to be avenged, and although the
military position seemed to demand
merely defensive war on the part of
the Russians on the west, and the Wig
orous pushing of the struggle along the
more direct line of their advance, they
have ever since been directing their
greatest energies to the work of crush
ing Osman Pasha. To do this they
withdraw their forces from the south of
the Balkans altogether, and dangerously
weakened their whole line along the
east, facing Mehemet Ali and the Shu-
mia army. The latter made fierce
attack, and pierced the Russian line on
the LON at such point that the whole
Russian front in that direction had to
be retired to the Jantra. A further at
tack is now apparently about to be
made by Mehemet Ali, but nearer the
Balkans than the last one. If it be
true that Suleiman Pasha's army is now
to the north of the mountains, they may
assist in this assault, which would ther
endanger the Russian hold on Seipka
Pass, as, if the Russian line were agar
pierced, the defenders of the pass would
be isolated, and would soon have Il
surrender. Already Suleiman Pash;
telegraphs that he holds the road Il
Gabrove. 1t is very probable that tn,
struggle now going on around Plevn;
will end in Osman Pasha having to Civ
up his position, but the Russian viii
not have accomplished much toward
their main purpose in this war if the,
do not make a Sedan for him, as hi
army will require as many troops t.
watch it as ever. The facts seem to b
that the ill-judged attack of the Rus
, slams on Plevna in the first place ha
led to great efforts, where they will b
comparatively useless, unless they ar
, much more successful than there is an
good reason to expect that they will be

would be strange if it were otherwise. 1t is
not often in ones lifetime that an opportu-
nifty presents itself to see such performance
as this. Really it is very beautiful One

make itself apparent. 1t is like the realiza-
ton of fairy tale The lockers on were
very much delighted. This afternoon will
be the grand time, however. The matinee
will attract every child from far and near.
The scene from the stage will be almost as
enlivening and pleasant as that on the stage.
This evening will be the last of these beauti-
full and fascinating performances. There is
no need to urge the discriminating and the
iudicious to be on hand The attraction is
SO positive as to ensure another full house.

THE PIONEERS FAIR.

The chances are that there is many Pioneer
thirty years and more. The Pioneers, as a
general thing, haven't dealt very extensively
in crochet work, ice cream and custards.
Theirs has been of different sort of fare.
The concomitants as we'll as the spelling have
been of another sort than that which we are
considering. But the standard set by the
early corners and late stayers is very high.
The idea of fair once evolved, and the pur-
pose becomes almost sublime. Anyhow, they
mean to do the biggest thing they ever did
do Yesterday we saw Deacon Gibson of the
fraternity. When you want to know some

going to be the world heater. Nothing ever
attempted this planet; nothing even pro-
jected in all the Solar system; nothing ever
dreamed of even in 'Other worlds than ours"
had begun to compare with this Fair, What
is already agreed on by the committee of
arrangements contemplates 1--WE understand)
a variety of special accommodations. There
will be a system of special trains and some
thing like excursion tickets, at reduced
prices, for railway travellers. The grand fete
will be begun tomorrow Thursday night,
and continuing through the week, take a
holdover until Monday and Tuesday ct

in as a day of rest, thanksgiving and praise).
