disease on Friday. while at school, aud died Mon
day evening. His age WAS eight years. little
son of j. A. Mitchell, taken at the same time. was

The recent decision Of the jury in the case Co.
gan vs.. the Sprague Manufacturing Company Of
this city, will be regarded by all fair minded me
- eminenuy wise and just The employees of
the company enter into an obligation at the out
set, which is clearly understood by them. and the
breaking of which will deprive them Of portion
of their wages. Without some such stipulation
the corporation might be at the mercy or caprice
of gang of strikers, without any knowledge
whether their mills would RIM or be shut down.
Such state Of things would be ruinous to any
business, and would result in taking the bread
out of the mouths of the wife and children of the
lsborinR man. We are glad that Kennebec ju-
~ has decided that . corporation has tights tina,
