ORLEANS COUNTY COURT.

The case of Coventry vs.. Craftsbury
came into the County Court, on an appeal
from the decision of the two Justices of
the Peace for the removal Of one Charles
W. Mcfarland, who was likely to become
chargeable as pauper, from the town
of Coventry to Craftsbury. Trial by
jury. The question in controversy was,
whether Netherlands settlement was In
Coventry or Craftsbury. The plaintiff,
Coventry claimed and produced evidence
to show that Mcfarland was born in
1916, and that when about ten or twelve
years of age moved with his father, An
drew Mcfarland, into the town of Crafts
bury that Andrew Mcfarland resided
| in the town of Craftsbury about seven
years, thereby giving a settlement in
that town for Charles, that when Charles
was nineteen years Of age his father
moved to St. Johnsbury, where he con-

age; and that subsequently, to his gain
ing derivative settlement by his father
in Craftsbury he had gained another fer
himself, and hence was chargeable to
that town. Nearly six years previous
to the removal of Charles from Coventry
to Craftsbury, Andrew McF arland moved
to Coventry, and his son Charles followed
soon after and made it his home at bis
fathers house, working some for his
father and for other parties in the ad

isaac N. Drew Oh DartoH, VS.. the
town of Sutton, was an action on the
case for the recovery of damages sustain
ed to his person, on account of the in
sufliciency of the highway. The plain
tiff's case was that in Nov. 1877, he
and one Horatio Nye of Barton, had &C.
casion to pass through the town of SUIT
ton and Burke one very dark night on
important business; that they were rid
ing in carriage by two horses, and Mr..
lNye was driving; that they used a Ian
tern part Of the time. but found it to
be disadvantage and put it under the
boot when about half mile from the
place of accident. While driving slow.

Lake, they ran off bank and were
thrown from the wagon a distance Of
twenty three feet down an embankmen'
to the edge of a pond. where Mr.. Drew
Twas severely injured about the left biz
land upper portion of the spine, thereby
incapacitating him nearly or quite fol
any kind of business. The insuficlency
of the highway consisted, as the plaintiff
claimed, in the want of a railing at the
place where the accident occurred, thu
road being at this place quite smooth ant
wide and Of such character that a team
would be naturally misled. if dark ant
muddy. The defense was that men o
ordinary prudence would not expos
themselves to such risks by travelling OF
straight roads when SO very dark, ant
further that the road upon which tn
accident occurred. followed the line o.

years ago; that the towns of Sutton AM
Burke entered into an agreement by

subsequent time, that Sutton shoul'

Natural Anti.Fat.

While surveying in the mountains
northeast of Anaheim last year, Maj
William p. Reynolds encountered a
man who had worked for him in former
years. He failed to recognize him,
however, until the stranger explained
who he was. 1t was no wonder the
Major failed to recognize his old ac-
quaintance, for he was now man of
about 200 pounds weight, whereas he
weighed $40 pounds when in the
Majors employ. The secret of his re-
duced avoirdupois was freely given. A
short distance up the mountain from
where his house stood was spring, the
waters of which contained some mineral
anti-fat. Did the Major want to lose
some of the superfuous flesh which in
numbered him? He did. He drank the
water, and in ten days his weight had
been reduced twenty-five pounds. He
continued drinking the water, until from
212 pounds he was reduced to 40
pounds, his present weight. This was
accomplished without any violent ac-
ton on the part of the water. 1t
seemed to go about its business quietly
and eflicaciously. Maj. Reynolds will
obtain water from the spring, and he
will forward it to the Smithsonian In.
stitute at Washington for analysis. The
spring is about sixteen miles from Ana
helm, easily accessible, and if analysis
establishes the fact that there is nothing
to be apprehended from using the
water there will be numerous obese
persons avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity to try natures remedy. There
is still another spring in the mountains
possessing qualities as peculiar as the
one mentioned. 1t was discovered one
hot day by couple of young men from
Anaheim, who were on a prospecting
tour. The water from the spring had
flowed into kind of natural reservoir,
and it looked so cool and inviting that
the young men dotted their clothes and
took bath. A few minutes after they
came out their skin and hair took a
reddish tinge, and they became like
unto the aboriginal red men. 1t grad
ually wore off, however, and in few
days their color was natural dirty

That they might call man of mark endowed with

With quavering voice he gave response to friends
who offered greeting.
And listened in All absent way to members in the
meeting
Discoursing in familiar tones of changes they were
making
And asking him to make remarks. although his
heart was breaking.
But ye. he spoke-as oft before his voice aglow

While down his faded, furrowed face slow tears
were softly stealing,
A holy hush pervading all, as though an ange

He spoke of memories sad and sweet, of dim and
Instant days,
OF forty years OF constant toll of pain and prayer
and praise
OF children-christened by his hand-who stood
before him still,
While some reposed beneath the flowers upon the
distant Mill.
And here his voice sank sad and low-for there his

For all he prayed as fathers plead for children

That all might once again be joined in Go rs abode

He raised his trembling hands alott and gave to al

And rested there with light caress, as though

The people rose to be dismissed; their pastor lin

But when they sought with gentle touch TO walk

They found that death had called him hence; Mei

Poor C@sar'S Fall.

Caesar is the name of large dog that
belongs to Henry Armbruster, of Forest
City, in the county of Sierra, in the
State of Nevada. Caesar was fat dog
"a very fat fellow until about one
month ago. At that time he disap-
peared. One week passed away and
Caesar was still missing. One week and
three days-ten days in Advent by.
Then, as Mr.. Armbruster stood near the
mouth of shaft, or deep hole made
by miners in their search for gold, he
heard whine, low, piteous whine,
come up the shaft. C@sarl" called
Mr.. Armbruster, STOPPING down,
heigho! no, no, no, Caesar, old boyl"
Caesar answered with faint bark. He
was 125 feet under ground, in dark,
damp place, indeed Mr.. Ambruster
ran home, got rope and fixing moose
at one end. dropped it down. Before
long he had fished Caesar out. Caesar
had fallen into the shaft and remained
there ten days without so much as q
bone. He was as poor as Jobs turkey,
and many times poorer than a church
mouse, but he is now gaining flesh
nicely.
