Accidents.

On Thursday afternoon of last week,
us VIM. j. Bray was driving down the
steep hill above Fairbanks village, the
king-bolt to his wagon broke, letting
down the front end, and hauling him
out over the dasher. He was somewhat
bruised and severely Jared, but sus-
tanned no serious injury. There was a
flaw in the iron where the bolt broke.
While little son of Calvin B. Steb-
bins of Paddock village was drawing
out his two-years-Old sister in baby
wagon. on Thursday of last week, he
saw team coming fast, and in attempt
ing to get ont of the street he tipped
the baby over, and the team ran over
her, both wheels passing over her body.
1t was thought at first that she was IA
tally hurt, but she appears now not to
have been seriously injured. The team
was driven by Asa Deans son, and
there were three persons in the wagon.
The impression is the driver was care
less.
Capt. E. w. Harrington of this vii
lage had narrow escape from injury
or death last week. He was ut work
on hook staging on VIM. B. Johnson's
new barn, when the plank slipped off,
and he caught on short staging below,
or he would have been preciptated to
the ground, a distance of 25 feet or
more.

for plff. for 1924 and his costs. May
and Bates for plffs. E. W. Smith and
Ide for deft.
No. "a. Lois W. Meader Us. John
Gibson. Action of assumpsit in which
the plff. claims to recover damages of
the def. for breach of contract of mar
riage. The defence was a general de-
NAL statute of limitation, and settle
ment. The plff. is now about fifty
years old and def. is some sixty-six.
The plff.'s testimony tended to show
that in 1866, soon after the death of
deft.'s wife, she went to his house to
keep house for him; that soon after she
went there deft. proposed to marry her,
and plff. testified to many acts that
tended to prove the claim she made
was true; that deft. kissed her, held
her hand, called her pretty names, gave
her ring, etc. The deft. was married
to another woman in July 1872, and
this action was begun in May 1879.
The deft. denied promising to marry
plff. and says if he did, he had a
writing signed by plff. releasing him
from all claims whatever. The plff.
admitted that day or two before the
deft.'s marriage he procured her sigma
ture to the paper referred to; that she
told deft. that she would sign her death
warrant if he asked her to do so; that
no money was paid to her. Deft. ad-
mitted he paid no money on the occa-
sion referred to; that plff. did not tell
him she would sign her death warrant,
etc. /; but that he called her out after
she signed the paper and showed her
his new wedding hat, and she very gen
erously pronounced it very pretty.
Deft. denied all acts of intimacy. The
case called to court large number of
Ryegate's best citizens. Verdict for
plff. for $1,000 damages and costs. Dun
nett and Dickey for plff. Rogers and
Belden. for deft.
State Us. Ros,oeU III. Hubbard. Indict-
ment for adultery; charging that re-
spOndent is a married man and on the
days named had been too intimate with
a twelve years old daughter of his wife
by former husband. Plea not guilty.
The respondents testimony tended to
show he was impotent. The evidence
was of such a character that a report
will be unnecessary. Carter for State.
Bates and Blodgett for respondent.
Verdict not guilty.
State Us. Lum,an Oluen. Indictment
for adultery. The evidence of the state
tended to prove that the respondent
took the wife of blacksmith of New
port to Mr.. Lyford's in this town and
stayed there some time representing
her as his wife. The only proof the
State offered as to the marriage of the
woman to the husband was. that of the
husband who swore he was married by
a man in Stanstead that he supposed
was Catholic priest; that the man
wore black gown. Another witness
testified he was present and saw the
parties married; that this man who
married them he had heard preach and
he understood he was a priest. No
proof was offered to show that by the
law of Canada priest had power to
marry. Verdict guilty. Carter fol
State. Bates and Blodgett for respond
ent.

More Trains, and Change of Time.

We learn that it is the intention on
Monday, the Both inst, to run the New
York Express train over the Passumpsic
road to Newport. This is the same train
that run to Fabyan's last summer. 1t
will pass this place, going north, about
half-past six P. NJ, through from New
York in about ten hours and a-half /;
and going south, about half-past ten
A. NJ. 1t is reported that the Montreal
day express trains will be put on also
Monday, the Both.
The P. & o. will change its time on
Monday, the Both. The Mail train go
ing east will reach this place to connect
with the New York Express over the
Passumpsic, at about 10.30A.M. Going
west, it will not leave here until the
arrival of the mail train over the Pas
sumpsic. AS the New York Express
will overtake the Mail at White River
Junction and Plymouth, it will be seen
that through passengers over the P. g.
o. can make close connections at this
place, both ways. A train will come
over from Lunenburg in the morning,
returning in the evening on arrival of
Passumpsic train.

The Baccalaureate.


The sermon to the graduating class
of the Academy on Sunday evening last
ut the South church, was preached by
President NJ. H. Buckham of the Uni
versity of Vermont, from Ps. 126: 6.
He that goeth forth and weepeth bear
ing precious seed, etc" After an in
PRODUCTION referring to the fact that all
efficient work of men involved special
watchfulness and sacrifice, the speaker
announced as his theme, Fidelity at
critical times is the guarantee of sue
cess and joy in the issues of life.n In
all such crises the best use must be
made of Judgment and effort or the
whole life might be a failure. There
are critical conditions fol- the physical
nature when physical appetites and
passions are to be restrained and temp
tatiOns met with firmness, the result of
which would be vigOr and health in
after life. There are times when the
wine mOveth itself Alright and the young
man needs all his strength to resist the
enticement of the social glass, and if
successful resistance is made, conscious

Closing Exercises at the Academy.


The examinations at the close of the
present term took place the present
week, closing yesterday. These exam
nations have attracted much interest
and a gOOdly number of visitors, and
the students have generally acquitted
themselves with credit. President
Buckham, Rev. DR.. Leeds of Hanover,
and Mr.. c. A. Savage acted as examin-
ing committee.
On Wednesday evening there was a
concert given under the auspices of the
graduating class by the Mendelssohn
Quintette Club, assisted by Mrs. j. w.
Weston. There was a fine audience
present, and the concert was generally
enjoyed if not appreciated, although
very many we think prefer more vocal
and less instrumental music than this
noted club give. The applause was
hearty, and repetitions quite often de-
manded.
The graduating exercises occur to-
day, and we can say nothing of them
the present week. The class is large,
and below we give the names:

A lawsuit between Whitney and
Lawyer Gleason caused considerable
fun for outsiders last Monday. Whit
ney contracted to furnish wood and
build fires in GleasOn's Office for four
cents per day. He has done this for
several months, and on presenting his
account for settlement few days since
Gleason put in an account against
Whitney which just about balanced
Whitney's bill. Among the items of
GleasOn's account was a charge of
thirty cents for pail of ashes which
Whitney took from the stove before
building the fire one morning; and a
charge of one dollar for legal advice
Whitney and another man got into Il
discussion on the street one day, and
Gleason passing at the time Whitney
asked his opinion of the matter, for
which opinion one dollar was charged
for illegal advice" Whitney sued to
recover the amount of his bill, and the
trial was held at Webb's hotel last
Monday, before Justice Hastings. De-
cision was reserved.

Book agents representing the inter
ests of Appleton & Co., have visited
the towns of this county and the book
committees of this and many other
towns, have adopted nearly all of their
common school books with no examina-
ton of others and without even meet
ing for consultation, and before the
county meeting, to be held June Oath.
The method has been to visit each
member of the committee separately,
show the merits of their books, and
then if possible procure his signature to
blanks filled out and furnished to hand,
get all recorded, and go for the next
town. Thus the practical working of
the law is thrown, to great extent, in
small towns at least, into the hands of
the first or smartest book agent who
visits them.

In fixing these notorious bad places in
town on good many roads as to pay
this one we know nothing about, but
all towns are sadly in fault in regard to
the break-neck places by the road side
and perhaps this will be reminder
less the amount of taxes. The right
way would be for the legislature to
make the law to have towns keep the
roads in good condition then make an
other law that people travel at their
own risk, as in New York.
The lightning rod men are sending
IN their bills for payment in this vicin-
lty, contracted last year. They were
very kind apparently, told the buyers
that they would have 20 years to pay
them in. The bills were $50 in good
many instances, and somehow they
thought it would be better to sell the
claims, so they deposited them in a
friendly bank in New York, which
would collect them for small percent
age, and as they were little short the
claims were presented for payment
forthw it'll. This is a serious lesson and
others that are candidates for future
custom should take notice.
