returning home from Swanton in a
team Wednesday evening, attempted
to cross the railroad track in front of
an approaching freight train, but was
struck by the engine. His wagon
was smashed i'll pieces and himself
thrown out violently upon the COW
catcher. which he griped with such
couvulsive energy that it required the
combined strength Of two men, when
the train was stopped, to loosen his
hold. He was found to be seriously
hurt internally, and there are grave
doubts as to his recovery.

Law for Farmers.

A Western lawyer, H. A. Haight,
points out the nature of Promissory
Notes in the american AgriculturiSt
for August, and gives valuable in
formation to all who may be the prey
of Patent Right and other rogues:
A promissory note is a written
agreement to pay certain sum of
money a certain time. 1t must be
definite and unconditional. 1t is there
fore in the nature Of money; being
negotiable, and where payable to the
bearer, the property in it passes by
mere delivery of the paper on which
it is written. Is it not subject TO all
the defences that are good as against
other contracts. For example: 1t is
generally good in the hands of an in
Bocent holder, no matter though the
maker of it had lost it, or it had been
stolen, or obtained from him by fraud.
This may be the case, even though it
has been altered or s'raised," as where
/ give my note signed in blank to
person, authorizing him to fill in a GER
tain amount, as SO, and he fills in a
larger amount, as 500, and sells it to
an innocent purchaser, | must pay the
larger amount, for | it was who en-
abled the fraud to be committed and
an old maxim of the law holds that
where one or two innocent persons
must suffer from the wrongful acts of
third, the loss must be borne by the
one who enabled such third person to
occasion it. The justice of this is
obvious, and every farmer will appre-
ciate the necessity of protecting, in
the largest degree, the rights of bona
tide holders of negotiable instruments,
which form part of the currency of
the country, and if subject to all the
defences of other written contracts,
would be deprived of their main value.

In order to satisfy some who pro-
fessed to believe that the pension list
existed in considerable part on paper
only, the Commissioner of Pensions
has caused an examination to be made
to settle where the pension money
goes, the list Of pensioners to be
made by Congressional districts. In
the four States of Massachusetts,
Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont
there are 81, 664 pensioners who draw
annually from the government S.
91l 1866. Massachusetts leads, of
course, with 1888 pensioners, who
receive yearly 81 ,585, 026. Together
with the arrears, they received last
year 3,0ll ,54S. Maine has l0,872
pensioners, who receive S1,2s6, 460.
Together with arrears they received
last year S2,334,992. New Hamp-
shire has 1925 on the pension list.
They receive annually S5l6, AIS, and
together with arrears, 1851 PSI. In
Vermont there are 1921 pensioners
whose annual pensions aggregate
1868 ,412, and who received last year
with arrears, $3.50, 492, divided among
the congressional districts as follows:
First district, pensioners ,499, annu-
al pensions S160, 476, last year $780,
904 second district, pensioners ,3l5,
annual pensions SAG, 036, last year
S271 ,460; third district, pensioners
2,467, annual pensions Sl56, 900, last
year S49S,ll This is a large
amount to be scattered among the
people who pay it out and keep it in
circul alton, and that consideration is
one mitigation of large pension list
and perhaps some unavoidable fraud.

Closing Scenes in the Star Route
Trial

WASHINGTON, Sept. lI.-At 205
the jury in the Star-route case enter
ed and reported that they were una
BILE to agree. The court stated that
it had come to the conclusion to ac-
cept partial verdict. The jury then
reported verdict of acquital as to
Turner and Peck, and of guilty as to
Miner and RerdeIl. As to the others,
they were unable to agree. On the
objection of Mr.. Merrick that Peck
had not been arraigned ard conse-
quently could not be included in the
verdict, the foreman repeated the re-
port as to the others but left out the
name of Peck. The jury were then
discharged. Messrs. Henkle and
Williams for Miner and Rerdell, gave
dotice of motion in arrest of judg-
ment and for new trial.
PROCEEDINGS IN THE JURY ROOM.
Foreman Dickson says that after a
long discussion of the case by the ju-
~ it was agreed that two informal
ballots should be taken. The ques-
ton first submitted was, "Has the
conspiracy as to all the defendants
been fully proven" The vote result
ed yeas 8, nays 4. The next ques-
ton was, s'Haye other acts as to all
the defendants been fully proven"
Not guilty as to all, 2; guilty as to
all except Turner, s; and guilty as to
J. w. Dorsey, Miner, Vaille and Rer-
dell, /. The first formal ballot re-
suited in the acquital of Turner. The
next ballot was on the question,
''Are j. w. Dorsey, Peck and Miner
guilty as indicated" The result was
j. w. Dorsey, guilty 9, not guilty 3
Miner, guilty 9, not guilty 3 Peck,
guilty 4, not guilty s.

A PHYSICIANS TEsTIMoNY.-One
more plea remains to be considered
the allegation that the consumption of
beer is conducive to health. In this
connection Sir Henry Thompson, a
distinguished London physician, says j:
1.-The habitual use of fermented' liq-
uors to an extent far short of that
necessary to produce intoxication, and
such as is common in all ranks of So
ciety, Injuries the body and diminishes
the mental power to an extent which
| think few people are aware of. Such
at all events is the result of observa-
tons during more than twenty years
of professional life, devoted to both
hospital and private practice. Thus
| have no hesitation in attributing a
large proportion of the most danger
Gus maladies which come under my
notice, as well as those which every
medical man has to treat, to the or
binary and daily use of fermented
drink taken in the quantity which is
termed moderate.

Efacrion Notes,

Speaker j. L. Martin has been con-
elected from Londonderry,
since 1918 years.
Ely leaves Ely-Goddard out in the
cold this time, and sends a Democrat,
G. NJ. Dearborn, instead.
Loveland Munson of Manchester,
will give Mr.. Martin wrestle for the
speakership of the next House.
The election of Mr.. Hyde of Grand
Isle, will be contested by Macomber,
the Republican candidate, on the
ground that four persons voted after
the box was turned, and that he re-
ceived only four majority.
George W. Hooker was elected rep
resentative in Brattleboro, on the sec
ond ballot by the following vote
Hooker 35S, E. w. Stoddard PA,
scattering IA.
At the election in Reading, John
Mccullough was elected representa-
tive on the third ballot, by vote OF
Il to As for Geo. M. Clark (the min
streD, and II scattering.
In Grand Isle county there was a
serious blunder made in getting out
the sheriff7s tickets. They were made
to read III. B. Conro," whereas the
candidates name was ''H. w. Como.
Nearly all the votes cast were for "H
B. COnro." The mistake was made
by Grand Isle man.
The vote for town representative in
Bolton, was as follows: Preston,
Democrat, 80; Hall, Republican, 70;
scattering, 8; Preston's majority, one
Preston's seat will be contested, as
there were more votes than names OF
the checklist.
The election for representative al
Tunbridge, resulted in favor of Henry
Hayward, by one majority, but 1t Is
to be contested.
A useful moral to Republicans Is
furnished by the result in Bennington
county, where two Democratic Sena-
tors are elected. One of the Repub-
lican candidates was a taX-dodger,
and the other was one of the most
unpopular men in the eounty-a man
who ran about 400 votes behind his
ticket in his own town of Bennington.
As result, the Democratic candidates
slip in, by majorities of about 200.
And yet Bennington county is over
whelmingly Republican, its Governor
vote this year being about $500 to
1900. The Republican candidate for
States Attorney, who was objection
able to the temperance people, slips
in by a majority OF less than So
Free Press.

Too much publicity, says an ex-
change, cannot be given to the recent
decision by Judge Lowell of the Unit
ed States circuit court in Massachu-
sets, concerning the filling of holes in
punched silver coins with base metal,
and attempting to pass punched coin
with holes thus filled. The former
practice is held by the court to Ee an
act Of counterfeiting, and the latter is
made subject to the penalty provided
for the crime Of passing, or attempt
ing to pass, counterfeit money. These
practices hitherto have been regarded
by many persons as trivial offences.
To all such Judge Lowel's decision
should, through wide publication, be
q timely warning.
