some of Huntley's notes which had be-
come due, and he attached all of Hunt
ley's property for security, including
these "a cows, by lodging copy of writ
in town clerks Office, without taking
possession of any of the property. On
the 5th of June, Huntley filed his petit
ton in bankruptcy, and on the 9TH of
same month Pierce was notified. On
the 9th of June, Pierce went to Hunt
ley's and drove the cows away on the
strength of his bill of sale, and sold
them at auction for $744. E. H. Stone,
as assignee of Huntley, brought a suit
in U. S. District Court to recover these
cows for the benefit of all of Huntley's
creditors. Judge Wheeler held that
the bill of sale was a fraud in law, as
the property, not being removed, in
duced people to give Huntley credit
who would not have done so had they
known that he did not own the cows.
His decision therefore was that assignee
Stone was entitled to recover for all the
cows except one, which was exempt,
but which was conveyed to Pierce with
the others by bill of sale. The decree
was for S7I3, with interest and costs

died very suddenly Saturday morning
He complained of a severe ear ache the
previous evening, and remedies were
applied which seemed to relieve him
and he slept seeming all right. In the
morning his mother left him sleeping
and attended to her household duties
until 9 O'Clock, when thinking he was
sleeping in an unusual manner, tried to
arouse him and found that he was in
sensible. A physician was summoned
at once but found that life was extinct.
The cause of his death is attributed to
paralysis of the brain from the effect OF
ulcers in the head.

Heavy Failure.


We regret to announce that by rea-
son of the long-continued depressed
condition of the lumber market, togeth-
er with recent heavy losses by the fail
ure of other parties, Lambert Hastings,
and the firm of II. c. Hastings g. Co.
(Of which Lambert and Albert w. are
the other partners)-find themselves
so financially embarrassed that they
will be obliged to go into bankruptcy.
They have already issued a circular to
their creditors, giving them this disa-
greeable information. The entire LA
bilities will reach nearly or quite $780,
900, of which $4,000 are secured. The
assets consist mainly in 5000 acres of
timber lands in Concord, saw mills,
houses ETC., and a very valuable farm
in Lunenburg now occupied by Mr..
L. Hastings. In the present depressed
condition of the lumber business and
of real estate, these assets are but a
fraction of the value they were few
years ago. The largest creditors are
the banks in this place and vicinity,
although a few firms and individuals
are largely interested. While all these
parties have the sympathy of a wide
circle of friends, it will be matter of sill
cere regret that at this time in life Mr..
Lambert Hastings is obliged to sue
cumb to the financial pressure. All ac-
cord to him the strictest integrity and
honesty of purpose. He has never full
ly recovered from reverses caused by
signing bank paper some twenty years
ago or more and now that another
pinch of hard times has come, his cred
itors press him, and the sons necessarily
90 down with him because of endorsing
his paper, and by reason of their CO.
partnership relations.

An Interesting Law Case.

The District court at Burlington has
decided case the present week which
has excited some local interest. On the
10th of Nov. 1876, Lewis Pierce of this
town took bill of sale of "a cows be-
longing to Moses Huntley, as security
for signing considerable bank paper fol
Mr.. H. This sale was not recorded and
was kept secret, and the cows were not
removed. Soon afterwards Mr.. Pierce
died. Some time during the winter OIL
spring, Abel A. Pierce, as administrator
of Lewis Pierce's estate, had to pay

Fire at Barton.

Between ten and eleven o'clock last
night, as the Montreal express train was
passing south between Barton Landing
and Barton, the house of a Mr.. Rogers
was discovered on fire near the road
The train stopped, and passengers and
employees helped remove what property
could then be moved. During the
progress of the fire Mr.. Rogers went in
to a chamber to secure some valuables,
and was evidently partly suffOcated by
the smoke, and his retreat cut off by
the fire. He appeared at a window
which he broke out, and after some hes
itation he jumped to the ground, strik-
ing partially upon his head, and infiict-
ing severe injuries. He was insensible
for some time, but he, was taken in
charge by physician who was among
the passengers, and revived before the
train left. We do not learn how the
fire took, or if there was insurance. Mr.
Rogers and daughter were all that
were at home at the time.

Town Meeting.

Town Meeting.
- The town meeting passed off with
more than usual unanimity, and the Of
ficers were all elected and meeting
adjourned before half-past IL. The
officers elected were the same as last
year until the constable and collector
was reached. That office was set up al
auction and bid off by R. C. NJ. Howe
at $50, all Attachments to go to the
town. The collector last year received
$500. The town voted not to elect a
second constable, but gave the first
constable jurisdiction of the state. Two
of the old board of listers were re-elect-
ed, Mr.. Hovey by l19 votes, to lis
votes for Geo. Ranney. Horace Car
penter takes the place of Wesley Sar-
gent on the board. Considerable dis
cussiOn and difference of opinion came
out on the motion to set Henry Ross
from the Centre district to the Plain.
Mr.. Ross explained that it was a per-
sonal favor he asked, because his bust
ness was all done ut this place, and he
considered the school advantages better
here. The Centre people disliked to
let him go, but the vote set him off
The attempt to refund the town debt
in bonds carrying a lesser rate of inter
est, is to be attempted, a committee
having the matter in charge. 1t is be-
lieved the town can save $500 yeal
or even more by this change.

Town Report.

From the report of the town officers
for the past veal, we notice that it cost
s., 269.23, to take care of the towns
poor, in addition to the produce con-
sumed from the farm. There were IL
persons supported at the almshouse,
and 3l3 persons who had help outside,
besides 1852 tramps kept over night.
By the selectmen's report, we fined the
small pox cost the town $l63.4O, the
salary of town officers, such as select
men, listers, treasurer, collector, clerk,
ETC., amounting to 81 ,229.27, while the
total profits on dog licenses is $l98.S2 -
148 being licensed at So each, and the
damage for killing sheep and cost of
licensing being S98.1S. The liquor
agent reports sales of liquor for nine
months at S2,S7l.09, which with salary
of $500 for same time, swells the yearly
bill to just about $4,000. The treasu-
rer's account shows the cash expense of
the town the last year, including inter
est on town bonds, $50, l70.35. The
amount of the railroad debt is $3.50, 900.
