A Judgo apduJurv DI,nnree.

On June 12, 1875, John McElIigott, through
his attorneys, MesSrs. II. w. Gurnett aud
Euoch Totten, entered suit against the Dis.
trct Of Columbia, claiming 500 900 damages
IL seems that tho plaintiff WAS employed by
the District authorities to work in gravel
bank with another man loading carts. The
bank was twelve feet high, and by being uu.
dermiued there was danger OF its caviug in
de sent word to that effect to the mission
ors and asked that watchmau DO stationed
in the proper place to give notice when the
bank WAS likely to fall. The watchmau WAS
not sent aud the man continued digging in
the bauk. Not long after, it fell IN, covering
up McElligott, breaking Que of his legs aud
otherwise injurns him. His recovery has
not been complete, aud to-day he is cOmp1lled
to use crutcLes. In his suit he claimed that
1t had cost him $500 for medical assistance
and ether Indebtedness had arisen from the
accident. The case WAS tried in the
circuit court. division No 9, before
Justice Wylic, yesterday, Mr.. Riddle
appearing for the District. After the testl.
mony had been heard his honor instructed the
jury to return verdict for the defendant, Oh
the ground that the injuries were received
from McElligotts own negligence, he knowing
that tho bank was dangerous, aud going under
it to work, when lie could have remained out
side until it was put in safe condition. Tho
jury retired, and evidently were not of the
same opinion as the court, for they returned
into the chamber in few minutes aud am.
nounced u verdict for the plaintiff for 81 600.
His honor was considerably taken back by
their action aud made some pretty sharp re.
marks about their not needing his instruc.
lions, aud Immediately set the verdict aside.
This will ncccsstate a second trial.

Important Maritime decision.

ASpecial telegram to the Inter Ocean
from Milwaukee, Wis.,, says that Judge
Dyre has decided a maritime case of con-
siderable Importance, bearing upon the
rights of salvOrs and seamen to salvage
proceeds. When the outfit of the schooner
E. NJ. Davidson, which stranded on Pilot
Island, was brought to Milwaukee by
the wrecking tug Leviathan, it was Ii
beIed by the seaman for about $76O, the
amount due them from the date of ship
ment to the date of abandonment. The
outfit sold and was bid in by W.H.WOlf and
others, owners of the Leviathan, for ST.
$50, and the proceeds paid into court.
The owners Of the tug then libeled the
proceeds, claiming precedence, as sal
yOrs, against all other claims. The
court decided against the latter libel,
holding that where seamen do not for
sake craft, but remain by her and as
sist in saving whatever was saved, as
did the crew of the Davidson, their
claim for wages takes priority to that
of the salvOrs.

The Agricultural Society

The annual meeting of the ChebOygan
County Agricultural society was held at
the Court House last Monday afternoon.
Owing to the limited notice given of the
meeting, the attendance was very slim,
and it was thought best by those present
to defer the election of officers until
some future time. so that more gener-
al notice could be given, that thief armers
might be in attendance to take part in
the election. After some consultation,
a motion was made and adopted that an
adjourned meeting be held Saturday
afternoon, February q, at 2 o'clock, at
which time the election of officers will
take place. We would advise the sOcie-
to elect a secretary that will attend to
business, and see that timely notice is
given of all meetings. 1t is to be hoped
that all interested in the success of the
society will endeavOr to circulate as
widely as possible, notice Of the election
of officers ON the 21st of February, that
there may be full attendance. Satur
day afternoon was selected with specia
reference to the convenience of the
farmers of the county, that being tim,
they more generally select for coming
! to town, and it was thought by consult
ing their convenience, it would insure
greater attendance at the meeting.

A Supervisor Under Arrest for Perjy

n SuUerVISOE OhueE ATTcSt IOE
From the Post and Tribune.
A case which is of much interest to all
cOunty.superviSOrs i'm the state has just
come up for trial at Detroit. The facts
of the case as alleged in the complaint
are these:
On the 9th of October there was pend
ing in the supreme court proceedings
wherein Attorney General Kirchner filed
a certain petition, based upon affidavitS,
alleging that the board of supervisors of
Sanilac county, i'm defiance of the law
which requires the assessment of proper
ty for taxation to be at its true cash val
ue, had cut down the assessment of the
real estate of several towns i'm said cOun-
ty from their true cash value to only
about 40 per cent. of such value; and
that the assessed valuation of the other
towns of the county had been allowed to
remain at only about One-third of its
true cash value. The attorney general
prayed that mandamus should issue,
commanding the board of supervisors to
rescind their action i'm the case and so
equaliZe the assessment that all the
towns should be assessed at their true
cash value. The supreme court issued
an order commanding the board of SUI
perviSOrs to show cause on the 2Sth of
October why mandamus should not be
granted in accordance with the request
of the attorney general. On the last
mentioned day the board of supervisors
made answer that the real estate of San
lilac county had already been assessed
for the year 1879 at its true cash value
The day before this answer was made
i'm the supreme court October 29 Hun
ter, the supervisor of Lexington town
ship, in that county, was in Detroit, and
it is alleged, for the purpose of infiuenc-
ing the supreme court, went before Hen
ry NJ. Campbell, notary public in thai
city, and made an affidavit in which il
is alleged he perjured himself by saying
that he had assessed the property at its
full value, whereas it is claimed in the
complaint, which is for perjury, that tht
assessed valuation of the property in
Lexington is S492, 2,515, while its true val
ue is over S1,OO0,000.
The case is of great interest for tht
reason that if he be guilty of perjury il
swearing that the assessment of LeXing
ton is at its true cash value, many Othel
supervisors have also committed tht
same Offiense. The case bids fair to bt
bitterly contested

Concerning the Death of Levi f. shaw

Concerning the Deatn OF Lew r. SnaW
The following letter and resolutions
concerning the death of Levi F. Shaw we
take from the Cassopolis Vigilant:
ANN ARBOR, MICH, Dec. Goth, 1879.
Mr.. Ezra Shaw-Dear Sir: The Occa-
sion of my addressing you at this time is
to extend to you, and to the other friends
of our late classmate, Levi 4. Shaw, the
heartfelt sympathy of the members of his
class here i'm college. Most of us had had
the privilege of but brief acquaintance
with him, and his untimely death causes
much sorrow among his circle Of friends
here. The professors, in whose classes he
had been, speak highly of his studentlike
qualities. On the morning of his death
the professor of history was so struck by
his absence, which had not occurred be-
fore, that he mentioned it few hours
later, as he was walking down town with
the President, and thus first learned of
his death. Prof. Tyler, the teacher Of
English Literature, the next day men,
toned to his class in kindly terms his
acquaintance with him as a student.
ic referred To the last essay read by your
r0ther before the class, which was criti-
cal ln0tice of "POpe's Essay on Man."
Prof. Tyler said that if any one had ever
lad premonitiOns of death, it would
seem as though he must have had, for he
could not possibly have selected passages
from that work more directly applicable
to mis- own case. 1t may be of interest
TO you and the other friends to refer to
that essay, which is doubtless among
his papers. He was a member of the
Y. NJ. C. A. of the University, and his
voice and presence will be missed there
also.
send accompanying a copy of the
resolutions adopted by his college class
as expressing their sympathy with you
in your great affection. On my own be-
half | extend to you sincere Christian
sympathy, and pray that the love of
Christ and faith in His power to save
will strengthen you in this trial.
Sincerely yours,
FRANLIN G.. BAILEY.
The following resolutions were adopted
by a committee appointed from the sOphO-
more class for that purpose:
WHEREAS, Death has removed from our
class an esteemed member, l.. +. Shaw
whose unblemished life and admirable
qualities call forth this tribute of respect
Be it
ResOlred, That as class we deeply
mourn the loss of a faithful and hOnOred
associate.
ReSOlred, That while we sorrow over
our bereavement, we remember the COM
mendable virtues which enddared him
to us as class mate.
ReSOlued, That we tender our heart
felt sympathy to the family of the de-
ceased.
Resolued. That copy of these resolu-
tions be forwarded to the friends of the
deceased and to the College Press fol

SATURDAY, JANUARY II, 1880.
A Model Farm,

While in the southern part of the State
a short time since the writer had Oc-
casiOn to call upon the Commissioner of
the State Land Office, James NJ. Neasmith
at his home near yicksb Irg, Kalamazoo
county.
Mr.. Neasmith has very comfortable,
but unpretentiOus residence upon his
farm about two miles west of the village
of Vicksburg. His farm consists of about
$50 acres Of some of that farming land
which has made Kalamazoo county
famous for its fine farms. About 400
acres is under cultivation. OF course
winter is not the season to see a farm'tO
advantage and our visit was not of long
enough duration to look about the farm
as much as would have been enjoyed.
We were however particularly interested
in the manner with which his large
amount of stock, sheep, cattle and horses,
were cared for. All were under shelter
which had been arranged in yeryin-
expensive, but substantial and COM
Portable manner. Not in way however
to make great exterior show. We
might say that nearly all the shelter
was "hOme made" and such as any
farmer with little industry and enter.
prise might have if he was so disposed
but which we are sorry to say few dc
have. Mr.. Neasmith takes particular
pride in his sheep and well he may fol
he has several hundred Of as fine ones as
can be found together in the State.
Mr.. Neasmith has built this farm uI
from the beginning, and at the same
time has saved himself small com
petance, and although he gives his per-
sOnal attention to its management, he
now gives the same energy to the
management Of the Office to which the
suffrages of his fellow citizens elected
him, that made his farm what it is, and
we know we mistake not in saying that
the State Land Office was never better
managed than it is to-day by a man who
has made success OF farming.

A Thriving Business.

1t has only been year or two since
Smith Brothers concluded to build a
planning mill and started to manufactur-
ing doors, sash, &C., in connection with
the manufacturing of lumber. Since
that time, in that line, they have built
up quite an extensive trade, so much so
that last season they found it necessary
to put in additional machinery in order
to supply the demand for their work.
Last season, Notwithstanding they had
manufactured large stock, they were
obliged to send to Milwaukee for large
lot of doors and sash. This season they
hope to be able to supply the demand
with work of their own manufacture,
and at the present time have a full force
engaged in making large stock of
doors and sash ready for the seasons
trade. A visit to their planning mill will
convince any person that their work is
of superior character. and better than
that brought in from the "Out side." The
lumber is all thoroughly seasoned by
being kiln dried, before it is worked up.
Having the very latest improved ma
chinery for manufacturing, and employ
ing skillful wOrkmen to put the work
together, there is no reason why the
work should not be of the very best. They
are making preparations for putting in
machine for manufacturing blinds,
which will enable them to supply any
demands that may be made upon them
for any wood work necessary to complete
a building in every particular. Their
planning mill is very conveniently ar
ranged and is heated by steam. thus
avoiding any danger from fire.
