THURSDAY, March 2S.
No. 565 VIM. Harvey VS.. The Grand Trunk
Railway Company of Canada o. d. Baker for
ptf, J. & L. NJ. Rand of Portland for defendants.
This action is brought to recover for the loss of
horse valued at two hundred dollars through the
negligence of the defendants, as common carriers.
The horse was shipped with six others, together
wish sleds and harness on board a freight
car at Danville Junction in Feb. 1872, to be
carried to Leunoxville in Canada. By sudden
and violent jerk of the train at the start as the
plaintiff says, the horses were thrown down. and
one of them got a broken leg and was rendered
worthless. In defence, in addition to the gener-
al denial of negligence, it is contended that the
horses, etc, were put on board the car in the
manner they were. at the request of the plaintiff
and at his own risk, and against the protest of the
freight master at Danvile that 1t was not safe.
The jury was in consultation about an hour, and
brought verdict for the plaintiff for $2l3 SO.

Belgrade Locals.

Many of the farmers in this vicinity are busly
engaged in the making of maple syrup, which
proves to be quite profitable business to those
who the possessors of good maple orchard ,
the present season has been very good so far.
The verdict in the Savage murder case gives
general satisfaction in this vicinity where all the
facts connected with the affair are we'll known. If
any one believes in the medical theory presented
by the defence, if they could but have seen the
murdered woman, bruised and beaten as she was,
their faith in the belief that she died with the dis.
ease, which the defence claimed, would have sud-
denly vanished. Everyone here believes that il
was rum that killed the woman.

An Appeal from the woman's Christian
Temperance Union of this ely.


MR. EDITOR As has been noticed in your pa.
columns, the above organization propose TO have
a supper in Metropolitan Hall, over the Club
Room, on Saturday evening next for the purpose
of raising funds to aid in defisy ing the expenses
Of the current year, commencing April l.
1t will he Iememb, red that two wears ago when
tins organ cation WAS effected, finds were solicit
ed Of Out citizens by some of It's me M bers person
aliy, and generous re- pOnse given to the So
ici,ations. This aid, with the addition of our
membership fees, euabed the Union 10 secure
good hall and TO furnish il veiy neatly and com
modIouslv, and to keep 1t open ever since for the
benefit of the Union, and the Reform Club es.
peClally.
From the report of our Mayor and other sources
OF information, II seems to be ally acknowl-
edged that the existence OF the above organ ia
tons has proved to he of great moral benefit to
society generally. 1t is true, we have not yet
seen what We have so sincerely prayed and work
ed for, our city free from the great curse of in.
temperance and It's sure resuls-poveIty, misery
aud crime; nor have We received that hearty CO.
operation. band of women pledged to a
christian work, which we had desired yet we
have the firm consciousness that our labors have
not been wholly in vain, aud we are truly CRATE
full for what has been done.
IL is something surely to have been able to keep
the Club Room open. That il, to paw rent, gas
fuel aud ianitor bills 10 saw nothing ofthe many
in housekeeping. We have also helped the sick
in many instances to Il considerable extent, as our
records will show
The object of this appeal is to ask our citizens
to aid us through diff rent channel from what
we have ever employed before. The members of
the Womcn's Christian Union contribute a sub.
stantial supper the evening above mentioned,
aided by the women of our city, not members
for which they charge the small sum of twenty
five cents. In addition to this they have arranged
for an attractive stage entertainment il the Club
Room to which they invite the presence of all
after partaking Of the supper. The admi. sion to
the supper and to Climb Room Entertainment each
twenty five cents.
We feel assured that no one will be disappoint-
eG, since one will get not only his moneys worth
but have the satisfaction of knowing he is giving
aid and countenance to a worthy Of ject.
1t seems unnecessary to remind our law abid-
ing, order-!oving citizens of what we, few wo.
men believe to be their duty regarding the materi-
al ehcoui agement we so earnestly appeal to them
for since 1t is admitted by all that we cannot bring
too strong moral influence to bear upon our
community TO arouse, keep alive and intensity
