sale. have never seen Il colt improve as he
has in appearance. There was not much room

born trotter. could have sold him many times
at Il liberal price, but do not care to sell him.
If he sres many colts like Mouu taineer, he is
certainly the coming horse in your part of the
country. Yours truly,
\ We regret the occasion of inserting the
announcement of the death of Mrs. >. p.
Nash. so long and favorably known in
this community. Mrs. Nash had been in
feeble health for more than a year, and
had spent some time on Long Island with
her daughter, in hopes that change of
climate might prove beneficial On her
return to Vermont, in July, by the best
of medical advice, strong hopes were en-
tertained of her improvement. About
three weeks before her death she went
from New Haven to her sons. in Sails
bury, and not feeling quite as well as
usual her physician, DR.. Hinckley. was
.,nI Il,
until within few days before her death,
when an attack of pneumonia batlled
medical skill and she went to her rest
on Thursday evening, Jan. 25. Mrs.
Nash was Il woman of an unassuming
and retiring nature, yet those who kne W
her well appreciated her excellent chris
tan character. Her funeral was attended
at New Haven Mills on Sunday, the 18th.
The services were conducted by the pas
tor of her church, the Rev. Mr.. Sargent;
and the sympathy of neighbors and
friends, mingling with the grief of the
stricken family, bore marked testimony
that her departure was deeply meurned.
Since our report in last weeks issue
of the proceedings of the Supreme court.
a decision has been rendered in the case
of DIR. f. o. Porter against the town of
Cornwall, in which judgment is rendered
in favor of the plaintiff for about $3.50,
interest and costs, which will amount to
more than 5000. In this case the doctor
sued to recover fees for medical attend
ance upon certain of the town paupers,
especially upon Mrs. Mary Davis, lady
who fell upon the town on account of tn
desertion of her husband. She was suf-
fering with painful maladv, and DR..
Porter was called in to treat. her. Soon
after she was removed to the house of
Mrs. Randall, where Mr.. Rollin A. Foote,
the overseer of the poor of Cornwall,
told her that for certain time DIR. Por-
ter might attend upon her; but that, af:
forwards, on account of the expense, a !
young physician, DR.. Fremont Hamilton,
must take DR.. Porter's place. Mrs. |
Davis communicated this information to |
Dr. Porter. The case was tried before |
Judge Walter G. Dunton, ms referee. who
reported in favor of the plaintiff for the
amount above named. The County and
Supreme court affirmed the report.
Messrs. Stewart & Wilds and James f..
Stapleton were counsel for the plaintiff.
and Messrs. r.. Hard and l.. ID. Eldedge,
for the defendant.
Interesting meetings, exceptionally
such, in behalf of home missions, were
held in the Congregational church of this
place, Monday afternoon and evening.
