Mr.. & Mrs. James Savers celebrated
the 25th anniversary of their marriage,
on the 10th inst, and Mr.. & Mrs. G.
Fisher their 10th anniversary on the

Saturday, April 3, we had great
excitement in the trial of q suit for
trespass, before F. c. Grant, J. P. and
jury. Ii. w. Fisher, plff, and S. s. E.
Moulton, defts. N. w. Villas appeared
for plff and A. L. Morse for defts. On
trial it appeared that defts own piece
of land in Lunenburg, just over the
Concord line, and Fisher owns another
piece between the Moulton's land, and
the Oregon road in C. The Moulton
Bros. are compelled to cross plff's land
for about 80 rods in passing from their
land to the Oregon road, over a cart
road which has been used by both par
ties. 1t was claimed by defts that they
had license from plff to SO cross his
land. Plff claimed the license was
only for last winter, and that defts
have persisted in crossing since snow
went off, with heavy loads of logs, ETC.,
cutting up the ground, breaking down
fences and doing damage extensively.
Plff forbade them making a highway
of his field, but they persisted. The
case was sharply tried. The counsel
SO ably handled the nice outlets of the
law to mystify the jury, causing them
to disagree, standing for plff, and 5
for defts. A judgment was then given,
and an appeal taken to County Court,
where the matter rested for about a
week, when it appeared that there was
something wrong with pltf's writ, and
he withdrew his suit, paying all costs,
amounting to about $25. Thus endeth
the first chapter. UNo.

Advanced bV a Hurricane.

Remarking on how small circum.
stance may decide our destiny for good
or evil, for importance or insight.
canoe, New York paper tells how Al.
exander Hamilton owed the beginn ing
OF his remarkable career to hurricane
while a grovelng clerk, as he called
himself, in the counting house of Mich.
olas Cruger, at Santa Cruz, he wrote
considerably, and, among other things
described hurricane which had visited
St. Christopher's (August, 1772), and
sent the description to a local news
paper. This attracted so much atten.
ton as to induce his friends-he was
only Is then-to crafty his oft-ex.
pressed wish. for a better education
than the West Indies could afford. The
result was that he was sent to this coun-
try, going first to grammar school at
Elizabethtown, n. J. He then entered
Kings (now Columbia) College, and
had the intent to acquaint himself with
anatomy, in addition to his regular
studies, with the view of practicing
medicine.
"The trouble with England about the
tea-tax having come to crisis gave a
new direction to Hamilton's thoughts,
and eventually led to his success as a
statesman. Had it not been for the
hurricane ct St. Christopher's, however,
he might have remained his life long
at Santa Cruz, and never have been
heard of as public man."
