Delano Eagle: Our monthly fair last
Saturday was complete success. The
town was full of people from the surround
ing country, and nearly every town in the
county was represented. The streets were
lined with teams, and much stock changed
hands. Merchants and business men had
all they could do all day. The running
races made quite an excitement, and as
usual had the attention of the crowd while
the racing lasted. Mr.. Cooks pony came
out best and got the first prize, and Mr..

Perham Journal: An unfortunate run
away occurred last Saturday afternoon. AS
the wife of Christ Lepinsky was coming
into town, driving handsome span of
iron gray colts, they met an emigrant out
ut, regular house on wheels. The unus-
ual sight frightened the colts, and by a
sudden turn they upset the wagon, throw
ing out all the occupants. Mrs. Verneke,
Lepinsky's mother-in-law, fell close to the
wagon, the hind wheels of which passed
over her chest and shou ders, causing in
ternal INJURIES it is feared. The other oc-
cupants were not injured beyond a good

the wagon, ran into the railroad wire fence

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.
March Term. Judge Walton Presiding.
TUESDAY, March 81, 1882.

TUESDAY, March 81, 1882
The jury, in the case of First National
Bank of this city against Samuel E. Spring,
one OF the sureties upon the bonds of Israel
boothby, late cashier of the bank, returned
their verdict at the opening of the court this
morning. Is is understood that their
special findings are as follows: That
the first and second bonds declared on
were the bonds of the defendant, and that
they had been broken; that there was no
negligence on the part of the bank or its d.
rectors in not discovering the cashiers defal-
cation. Upon the question whether the name
OF signor not sued, ON the third bond, was
genuine or not, they were unable to agree.
The great point Of contention before the
jury was whether the bank officers were neg
iigent or not in not discovering the defalca-
ton, and upon this point the jury found in
favor of the bank. But as they disagreed
upon the question of forgery of one of the
names, it will necessitate a new trial.
The trial of this case occupied all last
week and excited great interest in this vicini-
ty. Messrs. Baker and Baker of this city ap-
peared for the plaintiffs, and Messrs Putnam

Patent for Labelling Cans

We were shown Yesterday, at the Court
House, very ingenious device for athxng
labels to cylindrical cans of all kinds, invent
ed by John F. Chase of Windsor, and just
patented. The machine is very simple. 1t
consists of an inclined plane, or trough, the
raised end resting on supports and the lower
end upon table or bench. In the bottom
of the trough. at the upper end is small
paste reservoir. Extending diagonally above
the inclined trough is the feed board on which
the labels are placed. Immediately below
the paste reservoir, in l. shaped SLOT is the
placed in the slot which extends across the
chute, the bar having its ends bent
at right angles to it. and placed in slots eA-
tending along the direction of the chute
The girl. who with her left hand feeds the
machine. moves the labels along the feed
board. much as a printer feeds the white
sheets into the press. Their ends are dipped
lightly into the paste reservoir With her
right hand she drops the can into the inclined
plane. and as it rolls rapidly down the decliv-
ItV the label Is neatly aIlNeu Nv All du'ohiatiS
arrangement, and when the can rolls out up
on the table it is all complete. The whole
operation is the work of but second, snd it's
estimated that one girl can easily label 10000
cans in DAY. The machine will do the
work OF l. or 20 girls, and will pay for itself
in A week. These machines are simple they
can never get out of order, and 1t looks to us
a. if the gentlemen who are interested IN the
patent had a big thing The patent will be
invaluable in factories where corn. hsh,
meats fruits and vegetables are canned, and
il will need no argument to convince the
hackers that it is for their interest to pur-
chase. Mr.. Henry Sewall, the popular su-
perintendcnt of county buildings, is associated
with the inventor in the manufacture ana
sale of these labelling machines, and has one OF
the patents at his room at the Court House,
which he will be pleased to exhibit to all VINO
are interested in inventions and labor-saving
machinery.
