We learn that the general term of
the Supreme Court at its late session
disposed of the following cases:-
Coates VS.. the Town of Canaan, in
which the judgment Of the County
Court WAS reversed. This is a case
Ia which plaintiff claimed damages
occasoaed 10y the insufiiciency of the
highway in defendant town. On the
trial, evidence was introduced as to
the condition Of the highway at poin S
other than at the place Of accident. To
the introduction of this evidence the
defendant objected. 1t also appeared
on trial that the plaintiff drove into
the bad place on the highway know
ing it to be dangerous. Defendants
counsel claim that the plaintiff could
not recover under those circumstances
but the court rue d in such manner
that verdict was rendered for the
plaintiff. The effect Of this judgment
now is to set aside that verdict.

The Detroit E0eniag NetOS contains
the following Stated ia u nut shell
our relations with Great Britain arc
something like these: 1. In the &C.
neva arbitration, under the Treaty OF
Washing on, we had the advantage,
in counsel and Judge and jury, and
got an award so large that We are I'M
able to find claimants for nearly Que
halt of it. 2. In the Halifax arhitra-
ton, under The same treaty, Great
Britain had even still greater advaa.
tages over us, and got an award which
is even more in excess of her rights,
pr0portionately, than the Geneva
award was in excess of ours. 3.
Britain never squealed" about the
Geneva award, but put her hand in
her capacious pocket and paid it. A.
Shall we do the same, accept our de-
feat in manly way, and pay the
award goodnaturcdly and pleasantly,
or shall we, while paying it, whln e and
grunbie about being ''ovcr-resched? p
This is a fair way of looking at the
cage, except that we cannot admit that
in the Halifax award Great Britai
received an award greater in excess Of
her rights, proportionately, than the
Unit, d States secured under the
Geneva arbitration.

you to the most earnest reflection
upon, and consideration Of, Your con-
dit on; and that you may find in the

need in the final hour. 1t now only
remains that the sentence Of the ltw

THERE has been slim attendance to-
day in both branches OF the legiSla-
ture, but little business was done in
the forenoon. This morning there
were 1870 House Bills not disposed of,
yet they have oeen reduced some to-
day. The Senate is behind also,
having allowed the introduction Of
bills several days after they were re-
fused to the House.
If the members intend to close be-
fore Thanksgiving, they will have TO
bend down to work soon. They evil
IDENTIFY had a chance to-day and try
how they would like evening work, as
the storm cloud was so heavy that gas
ha TO be lighted at four O'Clock.
Tie Governor has vetoed his first
bill, it was bill to have all soldiers
claims against the State outiawed or
not he colectable unless they were pre-
scented before Jan. lst, 1879. The
Senate did not pass IL over his veto.
There was quite an active time to-
day about the Topsham election case,
but it was decided that no member
was elected from that town this
session.
The bill to abolish the Board oil
Agriculture has been called up, and
munh To the satisfaction of of all good
agriculturaIists, did not pass.
The bill, originating in the Senate,
to include lager beer" among the
liquors whose SAFE is prohibited, has

Including cider more than Que month
