Gull from the Galena Gazette:
The case has been tried four times
in the 10 Daviess County Circuit
Court, the jury in each instance rem
dering verdict in favor of tLe
plaintiff. The first Judgment was
for $4,000, the second for $4,000,
the third for $4,000, and the fourth
for $4,000. The village of Warren
has appealed three times TO the court
of Appeals. In the first two in
stances the Judgment was reversed
and the case remanded Ia the third
instance, the judgment Of the court
below was affirmed, and from this a
fourth appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court, with the result as above
stated. The latter is the court Of
last resort, and nothing remains for
the village of Warren to do, but to
pay up. The total amount of the
Judgment, costs and attorneys fees,
Is estimated at $1,000 1t is stated
that the village could have settled
with Wright, in the outset, for
s 900.

LAXEY Picnic Last Thursday
wasn't the kind of day you would
fix up for a picnic, providing you had
the making of the weather. At Lax
ey the attendance was quite large,
and there would have been no grum-
bling if Vennor had held the rain
in check until about eight o'clock in
the evening. Those in attendance
from this place describe lots of good
victuals, and everybody brimming
over with good humor. Mrs. J. G
Stone, of milwaukee,, occupied an
hour and half Of the afternoon in
the delivery of a temperance address,
which is said was a forcible and con-
vincing argument for total abstin-
ence. Altogether this picnic was a
success, both financially aud socially

WELL DoNE.-Saturday evening,
for recreation and good time, the
Linden band visited our city and
dispersed music freely, to the delight
and high praise of all who heard
them. The band is composed of ten
pieces and two drums, under the
leadership of Abe Vial, and consid-
ering their quite limited amount of
practice, and that this is the first
season of trial for majority of the
boys, they crowned themselves all
over with glory, doing equally as
well as more projections bands. We
enjoyed the music, and can say, from
remarks passed, so did all our towns
folks. Run in again, boys, anytime.

woman listening for the footsteps of
her lord and master. This charming
picture of domestic bliss jack Acker-
man fully appreciated, as he stepped
into the room a few minutes later.
"Well, Mollie, what's henews?"
"0h, nothing, only supper has
been waiting half an hour. Come,
let us hurry and eat; want to talk
with YOU"

"You deserve one, for this is the
last evening 1 shall speak with you
for two whole weeks"
Mrs. John Ackerman tried 10 frown
but failed completely.
In another half hour they were
back in the parlor, and Mollie began:
81 think Tom is fine fellow, and
there were never two brothers more
alike than you and he."
"Thank you, my dear, honor

promptly informed him that he
should not read word until she was
through talking.
81 am going away tomorrow, and
then you may read the paper from
the time you enter the house until
midnight, with no ore to bother
you," she said.
Somehow the vision Of the little
parlor without Mollie's lively chatter
did not seem to strike fivorably; per-
haps this was why he tossed the pa
per to the other side ofthe room, and
promised to listen. Mollie perched
herself on one arm of bis chair, and
started:
"You know my sister Amy is COM
ing home with me for long visit,
and don't you think it would be
splendid if she and Tom would fall
in love with each other? They could

The Wrong Iniirn,ity.

In certain Michigan village there
lived, decade since, man known
as Judge Simpson. No one could re-
member of his having served in any
capacity to gain the title, but he ac-
quired it somehow, and had dignity
enough for a whole Supreme Bench.
The Judge was an eccentric citizen,
well liked, but he had a terribly bad
breath. Noone would ride with him,
few could talk with him, and every!
body wondered why he didn't eat on
ions for change. No one had the
courage to mention the matter, and
yet something must be done or the
Judge would be ostracised. In this
emergency along came one Of the first
tramps ever seen in the State. AT
the first house where he called for q
bite the man called him in and said:
"My friend, are you a brave mani"
"Well | never took back seat

"Do you want to earn two doll

"Try me once"
Every we'll. You see that white
building beside the postoffice2 Go

man called Judge. What want you
to do is to ask him why he doesn't
chew cloves for his infirmity."
"I'll do it,"
"That's all. Simply ask the quest:
ion and I'll hand you the cash."
The tramp went his way, and the
citizen took his station on a street
corner. He saw the brave man 90
up, and he saw him come down. He
went up gracefully enough but when
he came down he bumped every sep
arate stair, and as he gathered him

him clear into the gutter. He start.

never stopped for half d mile, Then
the citizen overlook him and asked:
"Well, was the Judge in?"
"He wasl"
"And you put the question:"
"Don't I look as ] did? Say, what
infrmity has he got2"
"a bad breath?"
"The dickens What a fool wasl
Why, l thought his infirmity was in

Despondency.

Sometimes there comes within this life,
This checkered life OF ours,
So much Of loss and pain and strife,
That our sad eyes, with tear drops rife,
Look up and see no flowers.
A sudden sorrow clouds the day,
And the tired heart grows faint,
For strength an courage die away,
And lips that have been firm to pray,
Can only make complaint.
And life becomes at such time
An unattractive thing;
There is no sound OF CHEEKY chime,
The days move on in dreary rhyme,
And bring no heart to sing.
II such a time should come to thee
land somewhere in the years
For everyone its pain win be)-
Do not despair, but try to see
Some sunshine through the tears.
And know that He whom sorrows teach
Receives a gift from heaven,
His tenderness some hearts may reach,
To whom the glad IN yain might preach,
And joyafllr0uul. 4 I'm .fas y =
