that fire will be the means used for this orbs de-

Orange County Court.

The Town OF Bradford in Its defence in the
Melendy case introduced some sixty witnesses.
Their testimony taken in the whole tended to
show in substance the following facts: That the
stump against which the plaintiff struck was not
in the travelled portion Of the road, but in the
margin thereof That the road upon which the
accident is said to have occurred is not which
said town is bound to keep in repair. Further,
that at the time OF the happening of said alleged
accident, the plaintiff was not in the exercise of
ordinary care and prudence, that he was negli-
gent and careless, and was looking off at another
road when he struck the stump. The experts in
troduced by the defendant give it as their profess
sional opinion that plaintiff is not hurt, and this
opinion is corroborated by score so Of wit
nesses who claim to have seen the plaintiff use
his alleged parayzed limbs. The case was given
to the jury on Tuesday, yesterday. The jury,
after an absence of five hours, returned verdict

fed and prompt, ms becomes such body. Besides
the ordinary and some extraordinary business,

larger lay element in the body, and adopting
measure carefully framed, the better to guard
ministerial standing In the state, protect the
churches from imposition and secure their right
to good instruction, there were several papers
read of both local and general interest, and OF
hardly less practical Importance for the state
than the church. Such was the report Of the
secretary Of the Vermont Domestic Missionary
Society, Rev c. s Smith, and that Of the cores
pondlng secretary of the convention, Rev A. w.
Wild; the papers of DR.. G. B. Stafford, and Rev.
J. G. Hale, on Safeguards Of Doctrinal Purity. and
President Buckham on The Relation Of the Fam

lence were ably presented to full audience on
Wednesday evening by the secretaries or repre-
sentatives Of the Bible, Missionary, Educational
and Sunday-schoo societies. The convention
closed Thursday afternoon as usual after the cele
bration Of the Lords Supper, to meet at Man
chester, next June, under the presidency Of ex-
