DR.. SMYTI,
Dear Sir esteem it a privilege to
rive nv testimonial to the public.
Five years have passed since you treat
ed me for Bronchitis. Previous to that
ti,Es it had troubled me very much for
about six years, during which time l
was treat:l by number Of physicians
who profc. ed to understand nay case
but certainly failed to effect cure.
While under their treatment l grew
worse until il resulted in hemorrhage,
prostrating me so that | was unfit for
any kind of labor for two months.
was then advised by friend whom
YOU had cured of the same disease to
consult you. l did so, and in a short
time felt relieved and realized the
great benefits of your treatment, which
gradually went on to complete cure
Since that time have had no return
of the disease. / would therefore re
commend your skillful treatment tc
those suffering with any bronchial
trouble. .
Respectfullyyours,
JOHN WALLACE.

A FASHIONABLE WEDDING ANY
one passing through Lewis Park at the
Highlands last Wednesday evening,
would have observed something un-
usual taking place at Number six
The strains of music and the frequent
arrival of carriages betokened the
union in marriage of Mr.. Milo M. Silsby
and Miss Isabella J. Davis. The cere-
mony was performed by Rev. DIR.
Webb. The bride wore pale blue
and pink brocade, trimmed with dove
colored satin and point lace, and cut

OUR ExCHANGEs:-The SO. Adams Ad-
Certiser is a valuable addition to our
exchange list. The AdUertiSer is a
semi-weekly paper, neatly and ably
gotten up, full of sparkling local and
other reading matter, and gives the
worth of its subscription price every
time. The Fair Hagen Era is also
another valuable acquisition to our
table. The Era is bright, spicy and
well conducted paper, and is brimful
of passing events. They both deserve
the success which we see by their
columns is accorded them.
THE GRAND LIsT.-We are indebted
to Secretary of State Nichols for the
aggregate of the grand list of Vermont
for 1879:
Real estate acres, 5,l62, 43S
appraised at............$7l, OH 9Sl

Less deductions. 3,ilS-l43,412 90
List of state taxes. $1,000, 4O7 IA
AS compared with the grand list of
1878 we find an increase in the number

COURT RECORD,
SEPTEMBER Term. 1879.

SEPTEMBER kltAi' lctJ.
At our last report the jury were en-
gagged in the case of Willard VS.. Brown.
After being out nearly two days they
returned with verdict for the defend
ant. The case has gone to the Supreme
Court on exceptions. Among the cases
disposed of by the Court, was the case
of Haynes W.. circuit, in which the
Court over-ruled the motion to recon-
init the case to the referees, and render
ed judgment on the report for the
plaintiff. This case has also gone to
the Supreme Court on exceptions. Two
bastardy cases were disposed of, in
which Judgment was rendered against
the defendants. Two DEGREES for di-
vorce were made, one for adultery, and
the other for desertion. One bill of in
dictment was found by the grand jury
in the case of State VS.. Malloy, the
Island Pond horse thief. This last case
was not tried before the petit jury ow-
ing to the unavoidable temporary, and
perhaps perpetual absence of the res
pondent. VINO, losing confidence in his
counsel, has assumed the personal
management of his own case. Among
the Chancery cases disposed of was
that of |. p. Butler VS.. j. b. Brown ct
ais. This was heard on the report of a
special master. The Orator held three
notes against the Defendant, who had
paid enough to extinguish two of them
without any directions as to what notes
the payments should be applied on.
The Defendant being insolvent, the
Orator claimed that the application OF
the payments should be upon those
notes for which he had the least securi.
ty. The Court directed the application
to be pro rata upon all three of the
notes. A question also arose as to the
method of computing the interest. The
notes were conditioned for the pay.
ment of interest, simply, and not inter
est annually. The Orator claimed tina
interest should be computed upon the
principal to the time of the first pay
ment, which should be deducted from
the principal and accrued interest tx
that date, and so proceed to each sue
ceeding payment. The Defendan
claimed that interest should be cas-
upon the principal to the time of set
Element, and from the amount of inter
lest and principal the amount of tn
payments with interest from the tim
each were made to the time of settle
ment should be deducted. The Cour
sustained the Orators claim. Strang
as it may appear, in this case adopting
the Orators theory, there would be du
upon the notes about $3.50 more thai
would result according to the Defend
ants method of computing the interest

The Chittenden County Farmers
association will hold a fair on the
grounds at Essex Junction on Tuesday,

30, and October 1 and 2. Premiums
amounting to $500 will be offered.
Joel w. Richards, a farmer of Kirby,
fell dead in the furniture rooms of Hall
& Swetzur at st. Johnsbury, Wednes
day morning. Heart disease was the
cause.
The Champlain Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company have instituted large
number of suits against policy-holders
on the recent assessment, all of which,
thus far, have been setteled upon the

Eugene Towne, of Waterbury, fell
from the high beams of his barn into a
threshing machine running at full
speed. His life was barely saved by
Edward Woodward pulling him from
the cylinders. Woodwards arm was
broken, and both seriously injured, but
will probably recover.
George Basett, of Chittenden, went
to Brandon recently, and while there
stole several articles and was arrested.
He pleaded guilty and was fined $21
which he paid. He was to have been
married to beautiful, young Roches-
ter lady, but it is presumed that his
adventures in Brandon, indefinitely
postponed the nuptial ceremony.
Kidder, the horse thief, who was a
member of the gang that stole so many
horses in Orange county, was removed
| from the jail at Chelsea, on Friday, and
brought to Windsor to the State
prison, as Sheriff Dickerson had in
formation that the rest of the gang
would attempt to rescue Kidder from
Der. The county Jail at Chelsea is full
OF prisoners.
While returning from Chester last
week the cushion in farmer Hardy's
wagon took fire from his pipe. Or
nearing his mouse the smoke was dis
covered by the family and thus pos
sible serious accident avorted. Mr.
Hardy's clothing was somewhat burned
though no serious accident occurred.
The smallpox scare at Bellows Fall
eliminated on Friday in tbs death o
the French girl who brought it from
Montreal. 1t has been much magni
fed only q single case has occurred
Green street was barricaded, although
the girl saw numb of visitors befor,
it was known that she had the small
pox. The schools are still closed.
A curious petrefaction of human
body is reported from Albany. TIL
remains of woman buried nineteel
years ago, and recently disinterred TO
removal, were found to be petrifiet
from the knees to the neck, white a
marble and of the consistency ofchalk
while of the other portions nothing
but dry bones remained. The gray
clothes had entirely disappeared.
In the County court a day or tw,
ago Ella Sleeper recovered from JOIN
Stowell, of Newport, $137 and costs TO
SANDER. Mrs. Katie Mignault and he
daughter, Mrs. Marietta Sanburn, G
Derby, have been sentenced to thre
years in the State prison for forgery
They procured money on stolen not

Last Tuesday A. D. Labay was
shooting pigeons when his gun burst,
filling his right eye with burnt powder,
burning his eye ball to blister, and
bruising his left arm.
Last Friday, as George Peavey was
fixing a fence in the woods, a large
bear jumped out of the brush and
started for him. But George had a
dog, and the latter started for the bear
and the bear started off leaving Peavey
on the top of large hemloek log.

EDITOR PosT: We, the en-

this method of replying to the
slander published in Sundays
Chronicle against the manager of
this hotel, ana characterize it as a
most black and malignant false
hood proving to us to what dep b

We would suggest to the ErpresS
that, having published the Chroni.
cie'S slander, it would only be fair
to give the denial of the colored
"attaches." We would also sug-
gest to the Express that it would
only be fair to publish Hon. Joseph
Medil's reputation of the opinions
imputed to him by the Chronicle in
regard to the new Constitution. Mr..
Medill's denial was telegraphed to
San Francisco and published by
the Alta and CdW of that city last

made charge against officer

false pretences from me, then for
refusing to pay the bill he owed
me, and lastly for language too in
decent for publication, when I re-
quested payment the last time. Now
the Evening ErpreSs of last night
said that charges were brought
against Mr.. Davis by parties who
mad already made charges previ-
ously to the Commissioners against
this man. This 1 emphatically
deny. 1 had nothing to do with
the previous charges and know
nothing of them. But what l
know is this, that the evidence |
gave to-day and that my brother
gave, is sufficient to brand officer
Davis as dishonorable party, and
though the EOening Express seems
to be so confident that officer Davis
is an efficient and conscientious Of
| ficer, it is my humble opinion that
a man who owes $4,000 in bills
averaging from $50 to $40, and

not fit to act as q preserver of the
