days and thereby the right to recover
had been lost.
The decision of the court was render
ed last week, decreeing that the Insur-
ance company should forthwith issue
the policy and pay the loss and full
costs. The decision is final as no case
can be taken to the U. S. Supreme
court when the amount involved is less
than $4,000.
The court found that the agent had
in fact agreed to issue the policy, and
held as a matter of law that such an
agreement was valid and binding in
equity, that the agent, having the pow
err to effect insurance and issue policies,
had the power and authority to agree to
issue the policy, that the agent had Civ
en- credit for the premium and had the
right so to do, that there was no proof
that the company had no power to in
sure for more than $4,000, that the re-
pairs, the storing of the kerosene and
wood were fully made known to the
agent and to the company, and were
threby waived, and that no proof OF
loss was necessary when the company
absolutely refused to issue a policy.
1t will be seen that the court rigidly
holds insurance companies responsible
for the acts, agreements and negligence
of its agents, and decides that where
the agent in the regular course of bust
ness has agreed to issue policy, the
company will be compelled to carry out
that agreement.

Some two weeks ago John Bacon cir
culated petition asking for his APP
pOintment as postmaster. As soon as
the fact became known, Edward M. Ide,
the present incumbent, circulated a
counter petition. On reflection quite a
number who had signed Mr.. Bacon's
paper also signed Mr.. Ide's, on the
ground mainly that they believed the
public would be better accommodated
if the office remains where it now is.
1t is understood that if Mr.. Bacon gets

The Walker Insurance Case.

We give some further particulars of
this case, as it involved some impor-
tant practical questions of every day
occurrence in the law of insurance.
In the summer of 1874, Walker had
$4,000 insurance on his hotel at Lyn-
donville, in three equal policies of 3d.
1888, one in the LycOming to expire
Aug. 10, and one each in the Hartford
and Home, to expire Nov. 20. On the
last Monday in August Walker notified
the insurance agent of intended repairs,
and as Walker claimed, agreed with the
agent to renew the Home policy, when
it expired, and to put the Hartford er-
piratiom into the Lycoming. On Deem
Der 10th the property burned. 1t was
then found that no policy had been
written in the LycOming to take the
place of the expired Hartford policy,
but the Home policy had been properly
renewed. No premium had been paid
for new policy in the Lycoming.
Proof of case was made on the Home
policy and on the Lycoming policy of
August LIST and those two policies we're
paid in full. Walker then rendered the
premium for new policy in the Lyco-
ming, with proof of loss under such a
policy, and demanded a policy. The
money and proof were not accepted,
and the company refused to issue a pol
icy. Walker then, through his solicit
ors, Belden g. Ide, brought bill in
Chancery at the June term 1875 in Cal
edonia county, praying that the Lyco-
ming might be compelled to issue pol
icy and to pay it. The company ap-
peared in court by its solicitors, Preut,
Simonds g. Walker of Rutland, and
procured the removal of the case to the
U. S. circuit court, where it was pend
ing until the February term, 1878. Tes-
timony having been taken in full on
both sides, the case was argued at the
February term by H. G. Ide, Esq, and
Judge Poland for the plaintiff, and by
Gen. A. F. Walker for the company
On the part of the company it was
claimed, list. That no agreement O.
any kind had ever been made to ISSUE
the policy asked for. ID. That sucf
an agreement, if actually made, would
be invalid because not in writing. Sd
That the agent had no authority t,

the agreement would be invalid becaus,
no premium had been paid. 5th. Tha
the company by its charter had no pow
er to take more than $1,000 risk on on,
piece of property. 9th. That the in
surance, if any, was destroyed by tn
working of carpenters on the building

sene, and by keeping forty cords o
wood in the cellar, and 9TH. That N

Saturday last. Mr.. Bullock of Lyndon
was the master Trainer. Eleven men
were present who helped to raise the
old one more than so years ago, the
frame of which was worked into the
new. The youngest of these veterans
was R. S. Hoyt of Lyndon, and the
eldest Theophilus Drew of this place,
who was 80 years old the 22nd of Feb
ruary last. Among those present, we
were glad to meet Mr.. Jacob Varnum,
who has been confined at his home since
last autumn with rheumatic troubles.
Mr.. Geo. Sanborn is also building a
new barn on the corner of his lot Oppo-
site the carriage shop, which he very
much needed, since he purchased the
field belonging to the Williams estate.
He has also added much to the appear
ence of his buildings by putting on a
fresh coat of paint. The painting cpl
demic is prevailing quite extensively in
our village. The Free Baptist society
have caught it and are dressing their
Church in a new garb. 1t has spread

where it will stop. Some of our good
mechanics say let it spread.
