End Of "a Celebrated Law Case.

Robert w. Laird has received notice
that the supreme court Of New Hamp-
shire, sitting at Concord, had ordered
a judgment on the verdict rendered
him two years ago for $500 and costs
against the Passumpsic railroad for
burning his store at Barnet ten years
ago last May. This case has been
tried three times in the county court
and three times in the supreme court,
and has been fought with great peril
nacity and watched with much interest.
The first two trials the jury stood elev-
en to one in favor of Laird, and in the
third trial he received a verdict. The
last trial consumed four weeks of time.
Ii was claimed that the store was set
on fire by sparks from defendants en-
gine. 1t is believed this will close W
this somewhat remarkable case. Mr.
Laird has paid out in fees and costs
during the pendency of this case be
tween four and five thousand dollars.

Those who rise early will be re-
paid by a sight of Saturn and Jupiter
which are beginning to show cOnspicu-
ously in the morning sky. Saturn es-
pecially is now a beautiful object for
the telescope, as it is entirely clear of
the mists of the horizon by two or
three o'clock a. III. Its rings have
opened so widely that in their narrow
est diameter they are as broad as the
ball of the planet, and the division be-
tween the two principal rings can be
seen all the way round, except where
they pass behind the planet, even with
small telescopes.

Camp Meeting.

The caInp-meeting at Lyndonville
opened on Monday evening of last
week. At the evening service there
were two hundred persons present.
The sermon was preached by Presid
ing-elder Granger. On Tuesday morn
ing the attendance had increased to
six hundred, who listened to sermon
by Rev. j. Chase of Woodbury.. In
the afternoon Rev. DIR. Hamilton of
Boston was the preacher. Rev. A.
Scribner of East Burke preached in the
evening, at which time the number of
those present had doubled from the
morning, abOut twelve hundred being
present. From that time on, until the
afternoon of Friday, the attendance
was estimated to range from 1900 to
2OOO-sOmetimes reaching the higher
number, but at no time falling below
the lower. The following also occu-

On Friday afternoon the grove was
hot and dusty, and the carriages COM

leading to the camp ground uncOmfort-
able to the pedestrian or to those rich
enough to ride in chaises or other We
hicles. Big drops of perspiration
chased each other down dust-stained
checks, which were mOpped by already
reeking handkerchiefs, leaving alter

mand, and the mOney-changers were
kept busy, whose traffic was considered
more legitimate than that of those who
prosecuted theirs in the temple at Je-
rusalem. Young men and young wO-
men-yet in their teens-between the
afternoon and evening services, were
grouped around on the settees eagerly
discussing what The CaIedOnian
was not within ear-shOt Int The

the nine miles of the carriage road up
Mount Washington. His younger
brother Charles, of the st. Johnsbury
academy, kept pace with him all the
way, while their clerical father with
their friend, Miss Horton, made seven
miles on foot. The second party con-
sisted of eight members. They spent
their time ut the FrancOnia notch, and
report delightful weather with most
charming views. This party camped
out and are enthusiastic over tent life.

Four weeks ago last Monday the
funeral of Herbert Parker, whose sad
death all will remember, was attended
here and last Monday his only sister
Mary was buried. She was at her
brothers funeral, although so weak
and sick that many fears were enter
tanned that she might not live to its
close. She was truly model of pa
thence during her entire sickness,
which was long, she having consump-
ton. Among her last words were,
"The Lord is my shepherd" She also
expressed a wish to die that day, which
wish was granted, she dying on Sab
bath morning about four o'clock. At
her funeral was an easel similar to the
one used at Herbert's funeral, bearing
the words, "At rest" ''Mary." Rev.
j. WoOdman conducted the service as
sisted by Revs. II. w. Holmes and S.
Wiggin.
The house of Mr.. Glover, who lives
i'll the north part of the town, was to-
tally destroyed by fire last Monday
night. 1t is supposed to have caught
from the chimney. This seems all the
more sad from the fact that he was en-
tirely burned out about two years ago.
The town meeting was pretty excit-
ing here, the contest being very close,
At the seventh ballot the republicans
elected NJ. A. Taft as town representa-
tive by eight majority.

afternoon, rain commenced falling to
such an extent that it became necessa-
ry to change the evening programme.
In the Peacham and Lunenburg tents
conference meetings were held previous
to seven o'clock, the time for the even
ing service. At seven o'clock, the rain
still falling, the bell at the grand stand
was rung and the presiding elder an
nounced the services for the evening
that in the st. Johnsbury house was
addressed by Rev. W. II. Hyde of
Bakersfield. The people in the East
Burke tent were addressed by Rev. A.
B. Blake of Irasburg and those in the
Lyndon house 10y Rev. w. c. Robinson
of Hardwick. The conference meeting
i'll the Peacham tent was continued
during the evening. The number of
people present in the evening was
small, but the services were well at
tended, the st. JOhnsbury house hav-
ing the largest audience and in which
meeting the greatest interest centred.
Whether it was the result of the rain,
the chilling effect of seeing people
stand outside sheltered by friendly
umbrellas, or the diminution in the at
tendance from the afternoon, the ser
vices seemed to partake little of that
fervOr of enthusiasm so characteristic
of the Methodist camp-meeting. But
those who walketh in the counsel of
the ungodly, of whom Rev. Mr.. Hyde
discoursed, were present in full force,
whose peregrinations around the
grounds were evidently animated by Il
desire for the fun that was to be had
from the eccentricities of testimonies"
given. The presiding elder remarked
the good intentions of the world, and
that they should have had several pO-
licemen present and made about twen-
ty arrests. Many left the grounds dur
ing the day on Friday, more during
the evening, and the balance "folded
their tents" on Saturday morning and
took the early trains for home, and the
camp-meeting of 1882 was at an end.
Some changes have taken place on
repairs on some of the seats, rebacking,
etc, an entire row of new seats has
been added on the north side of the
ground which will seat about two hun
dred additional people. Several new
cottages have been erected, for people
from Sheffield and East Burke and one
for Rev. George GOodall of Glover.
The st. JOhnsbury chapel is the larg-
est society house on the ground, and
which was built this season. Its cost
was about $500. In the rear are the
kitchen and dining-rOom, and in front
is the chapel, which is offered for dis
trict meetings, and is the only avaiIa-
BILE and convenient place for holding
them.
The attendance is said to have been
the largest this year OF any since the
Sunday gatherings were discontinued.
The presiding elder spoke in a crafty
ing manner of the favorable weather
since the meeting opened up to Friday
night. There are many pleasant and
unpleasant things connected with the
holding of camp-meetings. The num-
Der who favor them, for whatever pur-
pose, seems to be increasing. Fol-
them there is good authority, as an
eminent writer has said, "The groves
were Gods first temples"

The Rarbed Wire Matter.

Mr.. EDITOR What we wished you
to state in the last CdIedOnidn was not
that the Presbyterians had rendered or
offered Mr.. Wakefield $50 for the priv
ilege of leaning anything against his
high fence, for such an idea had never
entered our minds; but we did desire
you to state that the society, desiring
to do everything in its power to secure
peace, had engaged Mr.. Bray to use
such extreme care in finishing that side
of the church as would secure that high
fence and barbed wire from being even
accidentally touched with the end of a
board, and had agreed to pay him for
such special cafe the sum of $50.
1t is but justice to Mr.. Bray to state
that if he had only the same privileges
with that high fence that an ordinary
man would readily give him with the
side of his building he would build and
finish the church with the fence there,
barbed wire and all, without any extra
compensation but when the society
demanded that such care should be
used that even Mr.. Wakefield could
not complain, he felt that he should
have $50 extra, and this for the sake OF
peace the society was very willing to
give.
With this correction it is shown that
instead of "the affair being complicat-
ed very much" as the CdIedORidn stat
ed, the work is progressing and will
he completed without any further
trouble whatever. w. Il. LAIRD,

On Friday last, as Harvey Silsby
and wife were returning from camp
meeting, their horse became frightened
by the cars when just below the cross
ing south of this village. Mr.. Silsby
was thrown out of the carriage and
somewhat hurt. The horse, without a
driver, tried to beat the cars and gain
the crossing first, and passengers who
saw it all thought he would succeed.
Just before reaching the crossing, how
ever, the horse left the road and, leap
ing the fence, cleared himself from the
wagon. Mrs. Silsby chung to the wag-
on through it all and was unhurt.

EIanr

On Tuesday evening the st. Johns
bury band gave serenade to w. p.

MED by large representation of the
citizens to express their congratula-
tions at his selection as representative.
After an opening piece by the band,
Judge Ross and he in whose honor they
were assembled appeared, and the
Judge introduced Mr.. Fairbanks in
some brief remarks, who expressed to
the citizens his appreciation of the
honor done him and the confidence re-
posed in him by their sutfrages for
representative. The duties of the po-
sition were new to him, and in their
performance he should ask for the in
diligence of his constituency. He said
that he wanted to take them all by the
hand, and invited them into his house,
to which invitation they were not slow
in responding. After the formalitics
of presentation and the expression of
congratulations the guests were ush-
cred into an adjoining room where IA
spread awaited them. The occasion
was as informal as was possible under
the circumstances, and the host re-
ceived his guests with that atfability
and modesty which are his distinguish
ing characteristics. After some fuI Their
selections by the band the people re-
tired to their homes with the conscious
