A SUPREME COURT DECISION
OF INTEREST TO SHER-
IFFS AND A ATTORNE Us.

An opinion was filed during the late
session of the Supreme Court in Phila-
delphia, which will prove interesting to
attorneys who have dealings with the
Sheriff, as well to al Sheriffs through
out our State. The opinion was in the
case of III. Duryea against ex-Sheriff
Leeds, of Philadelr hia.
This was q suit brought by Duryea
against Leeds to recover damages al
legged to have been sustained through
the negligence of tho deputy Of the
Sheriff The facts were that upon
Judgment obtained by Duryea against
debtor of his, the Sheriff took into ex-
ecutlon large quantity of the debtors
goods. Subsequently, while the goods
were still in the hands of the Sherif's
ofhcers the writ of execution was stay
ed until the further order of the Court.
Proceedings were had under the rule
to stay the writ, to open the judgment,
and two years after the original levy.
the judgment which had been opened
by the Court was confirmed, and the
sale of the goods levie0 upon ordered.
When this sale was had it was found
that a large part of the goods original
ly levied upon were missing, and the
amount realized by the sale was much
less tnan Mr.. Duryea's claim. The lat
ter thereupon brought suit against the
Sheriff, as above stated, alleging negli-
gence on the part of the Sherif's off,
GERS in allowing the goods to be re-
moved Upon the trial the judge re-
fused to charge that the plaintiff could
not recover, because he and his coun-
sci had been largely instrumental in
causing the delay in obtaining trial
after rule to open judgment bad been
obtained. 1t also admitted in evidence
against the defendants objection the
notes of testimony given on former
trial by witness who had been sub
p9naed at the present trial, but who
had been called out of the State to see
dying mother. The jury found ver-
dict against Leeds for the full amount
of the claim, and he, assigning these
rulings as error, brought the case 10
the Supreme Court, which in deciding
it says:
1--WE think the notes of the evidence
of the witness on the former trial, when
he was beyond the jurisdiction, though
only temporarily SO, were admissible
according to the settled practice in this
State. The other questions in the case
were questions of fact, justly submitted
to the jury under proper instructions.
We cannot see that the negligence Of
the plaintiffs attorney in expediting
the case can in any way relieve the
Sheriff from the responsibility for the
goods seized When the judgment
was opened the levy was to remain,
which left the goods in his custody.
The assignments of error are not sus-
tanned. Judgment affirmed.

came to believe anything preserable to
such existence, and they said We will
destroy all and begin anew Th;s DOE
trine is called Nihilism. Antocracv
met the agitation with redoubled r;g-
ors. The chief towns as well 40 H.
country districts ran with blood Tho
ominous volley of the death platoon
never ceased from one end of the en-
pire to the other But the Nihilist had
reached the ears of the S5, 900, 900, and
the power of autocracy became impotent.
It's chief butchers were secretly at first
but later boldly massacred in the very
panoply of their baieful power. The
nation, tied hand and foot, was fighting
for life. The Autocrat said: [ will
root you out and seed the ground with
salt. Nihilism answered: Be it So
You shall murder us man by man, but
the last man will rid the earth of you,
and those who come after will be free.
This is bald but very brief state
ment of the existing condition of things
in Russia. The late Alexander knew
what the conditions were upon which
he held power He had but to concede
the people what all people sooner or
later achieve to have fixed himself in
the hearts of his people as firmly as his
obstinacy fixed him in their hate.
Alexander III. takes power on the
same conditions If he will it so, he
may be the happy sovereign of great
people If he will it otherwise, sooner
or later he will come to the same fate
as his father nor can he complain if q
people bound hand and foot make us of
the only weapon left them-tyranni-

HE SPOKE TRULY.

1t was at q table d'hote in Europe
where Englishmen, Scotchmen and
Americans from the Northen States
were present, that gentleman from
the South repeatedly set forth the ty-
ranny which the Southern States were
suffering, and especially denounced the
administration of General Grant. At
last bluff old Scotchman, grown
weary of his vaporings, thus addressed
him:
You are from the Southern States
| OF America p
Yes
And ye had a civil war there p
Yes
And we were an officer in the South
ern army?'
Yes, l was Colonel Of regiment
And We got licked?'
We'll, yes
WAS anybody shot p
No.
Was anybody transported"
Mo-
'Weel then, what the dell are We
grumbling about? If we had ye in
England we would have hanged
thousand of ye before we could have
appealed to the civil law and we would
| have transported other thousands oil We
to Australia, where We owt to be now
picking up stones
There was moments silence, and
then the whole company burst into o
roar of laughter and applause. The
| Colonel was squelched, and nothing
| further was heard from him.
A RAILWAY STATION IN THE GorH-
ARD TuNNEL-The daily journals Of
Switzerland and Germany contain long
articles in regard to an underground
station in the Gothard Tunnel. below
the village of Andermatt, which has
about 800 inhabitants, is situated about
5000 feet from the sea, and directly
over the tunnel. The Gothard Pass
and the well-known Furka Pass, lead
ing into the valley of the Rhone, cross
here and it seemed desirable to con-
meet the railroad with the Furka Pass.
The design is to cut slanting tunnel
from Andermatt down to the Gothard
Tunnel and convey the passengers up
aud down by means of wire cable
road. AT the connections OF the two
tunnels restaurants, depots, etc, are
to be cut out of the rock. The inhabi-
tants of Ander matt expect to do very
great business, as all the passengers
will prefer to leave the train at this
novel station and be carried into the
beautiful Urserenthal, in which AMBER
matt is located, by the rope railway.
The freight traffic would certainly be
increased, but all this will probably
not pay the cost Of the additional tun-
mel, which would have to be about
miles long. The idea Is very novel
one, and is no doubt deserving of some
consideration, but at present it will
probably remain idea only.

An Indiana farmer recently lost
eleven horses and mules from eating

indigestible balls in their stomachs,
producing death in a short time.
The keeping quality and taste Of
butter depend largely on the quality OF
salt used in making it. Salt that con-
tains lime and magnesia. the two prin-
cipal impurities, is unfit to use. But
as the difference in price between the
best salt and inferior grades Is slight.
! while that between good aud bad but
tor is very large. 1t pays to get fhe best

have always held it to be an indeco-
rOus thing for Il civilian to speak at an

when you veterans who fought our bat

tonight to speak Il word for you, | feel
that silence would he more lndecorOus
than speech
And now, my friends, that | am on my

ing | am sure that can honor you half as
much as your own heroic deeds for sim
ply to enumerate the battles YOU have
fought is to call your highest roll of honor.
In all ages mountainous and sea girt
countries have produced heroes, and the
State of Maine has proved no exception
to this rule.
Our OWL loved State of Maine. | am
sorry there was no one here tonight to
answer to the toast ''The State Of Maine
What son OF Maine is not proud of her ?
State where thousand headlands break

a thousand woodland lakes mirror the
stars of heaven. Born and bred in our

selves to be on many Il we'll fought field.
We at home had never a cause to blush
for You at the front we We're ever proud
Of the marches, the battles, the yalor and
the victories of the soldiers OF Maine.
The Icgions Of Rome after successful
war were quartered on the Roman pro-
