One of the cases tried at the U. S.
Court at Windsor last week is of inter
est to parties in this vicinity. 1t is
Charles Rogers us assignee of Lambert
Hastings estate, against Richardson B.
Graves of Concord. In 1874, Graves
took mortgage of $1,000 on some of
Hastings's property in Concord. There
was prior mortgage on the property,
and the security was considered poor,
and four years after Hastings gave a
deed of Is acres of land in Lunenburg
to Graves, for which he endorsed $500
tho na1lrt1a aa nata- Mr. Gr.vas ones
to Concord town clerk and has him
write in $50 acIes more land in the
mortgage deed and change the town
record to correspond. Mr.. Graves claims
this was the agreement when the trade
was made, and that this was omitted
by mistake or fraud, and that he had
just discovered the omission. This Mr..
Hastings as positively denies. The de-
cisiOn of the court has not TRANSFERRED
FL. G. Ide and E. May for the estate :;
G.. w. CahOon and A. F. Nichols for
respondent.

1mprovement in vegetables.

Vegetables have been more improved in
their qualities and appearances by careful
cultivation than many persons are aware.
Celery, so agreeable to most palates, is a
modification of a plant the taste of which
is so aerid and bitter that it cannot be
eaten. Our cauliflowers and cabbages,
which weigh many pounds, are largely
developed colewarts that grow wild on the
seashore and do not weigh more than half an
ounce each Beets and carrots were. origi-
nally little more than hard, stringy roots
while the potato was at first no larger than
a walnut. Turnips and carrots are thought
to be indigenous roots of France, eauli-
flower came from Cyprus, artichokes from
Sicily, lettuce from Cos, peas from Syria,
beans from Persia, spinach from Western
Asia, radishes from China; onions from the
East and rhubarb from Turkey.

We come to a garden Of flowers,
Whose air Is so balmy and sweet
That we daily, and waste the bright hours,
And heed not the minutes swift feet,
Till darkness Ger hill and DER meadow
Surprises all nature so fair
And the gudeboard is hid by the shadow
That silently bade us Take care"
t. build on a solid foundation
beautiful structure beloW,
For the good Of ourselves and creation,
We must take care Of health, and build slow
Take care Of good name" lest it leave US,
Though paltry and slight its excuse,
For the innocent sometimes must suffer
a share Of the great worlds abuse.
Take care of the dimes-whosO careth
And Iayeth a the shelf,
Shall find, so the wise man d0clareth,
THE dollar will take care of itself"
T,tke care and not injure "A neighbor,
Take care OF your speech as years roll
And, friend, you willingly labor,
Look out and take Of your soul
