Trespass and trover for one white horse
which pltf. says was taken from the
possession of Mrs. Abigail B. Thompson
then living, now dead-and of whose
estate Mr.. Randall is the administrator.
The testimony of the plff. tended TO
prove that Eben Thompson left the
horse with his mother Abigail with an
agreement that the horse was to re-
main hers till he paid the keeping to
her that the horse had been kept by
her nearly year and no part of the
keeping paid /; that deft. took the horse
away on a " tit against Eben Thompson
and afterwards sold the horse. Mr..
Oscar Morrill, was the real deft. The
question was whether Mrs. Thompson
made the agreement with Eben that he
was to have a lien upon the horse for
his keeping. Verdict for deft. Mont

on the case for an injrry to plff's per-

1876. The case was tried once before
a referee who found for plff. for $75 in
gross sum. The case was carried to
Supreme court upon the question as to
the sufficiency of the notice. That court
reversed the decision of the county
court and held the notice insufficient as
to the personal injury. The deft. in
sisted upon trial of the case by jury.
The testimony of plff. tended to show
that he with his father was riding on
the "bog" road in the evening of Dec.
5, when his wagon ion against log
lying in the highway and plff. was
thrown out and his wagon broken. 1t
was conceded by the deft's witnesses
that at the point of the accident the
road was only II feet vide, with deep
bitches on each side; that this elm log
was carried into the road in June 1876
that it lay almost at right angles with
the road that the log occupied 5 feet
or more of this II feet-On quite a curve
log was Is inches in diameter. The
deft's testimony tended to prove that
the accident did not happen as plff
testified that the horse plff. was driv-
ing was kicking, boiling animal and
unsafe for any one to drive; that Chas
Damon, Ralph Lee, and others, examin-
ed the spot where it was claimed the
accident happened and found no iudi.

there; that there was snow on the

The Coming Concert.

The Coming Concert.
The concert of the Mendelssohn
Quintette Club at Academy Hall, on
Wednesday evening of next week, will
undoubtedly be the great musical treat
of the season. The Club will be as
sisted by Mrs. H. F. Knowles, said to
be fine soprano singer. Of the Club
itself nothing need be said here, as they
are well known to the music-lOving
people of New England as the highest
representatives of the art. Every NOM
Der is master of his instrument, and to-
together they are considered above
criticism.
1t is known to our readers that this
fine musical organization is obtained by
the graduating class of the Academy
and this concert is given to help defray
the expense, which is quite large. Re,
served seats can be obtained at How.

June Frosts and Snow.

y uue FrOSCS anu SNOW.
Those who thought the hard frosts
the last of May were the ''last of the
season. were disappointed last Sunday
morning, when il severe frost cut down
the tender plants, including corn and
potatoes, on all the low lands in this
vicinity. This was repeated again on
Monday morning, though not SO severe.
So far as our information goes, these
frosts were not quite so hard as that of
June 9TH last year, nor are things gen.
orally so forward, consequently we an
ticipate less damage, though it is
enough to discourage the farmers to see
their corn and potatoes cut down as
late in the year as the 9th of June. On
Saturday, the 9TH, there was quite a
furry of snow on the hills, some falling
in this place. Since the frosts the
weather has been wet and warm, and
vegetation is coming forward with great
rapidity.
