The minstrels appeared at Granite Hall
last night to large and appreciative audi
ence, and gave one of the best performances
ever given in Augusta. The programme
was replete with novelties, the comedy fresh
and amusing. Mcintosh, Haycraft. Walker,
and Grace, were inimatable. They were
encored in their final overture, the audience
refusing anything else until they repeated.
The singing showed that the voices of the
vocalists understood harmony thoroughly.

ner that called forth an encore. Bunce
Stanton's ''P ansie Blossoms" was well rem
dered. The gem of the evening, however,
was Mr.. Robert Thomas baritone solo,
Warrior Bold" This gentleman possesses
a rich baritone voice. The wonderful exc
cution Of Sergeant Simms, who introduced
his skill in the manual of arms, was highly
appreciated. The clog drill, Haycraft in his
specialties, Hawkins and Washington in
songs and dances, and the levee scene on the
Mississippi were rendered in a manner high
y enjoyable. The entire performance was
given with q vim showing the careful training
the company has been under. and the Geor-
gians will always be welcome as long as they
keep up to their present standard of excel
ence.

Mortified by the Eaton murder case at Calais
Now we are obliged to chronicle in our OWL
county an assault with intent to kill
the ARRAY being accompanied by
shooting. Leonard Getchell is a young
married man about % years of age,
residing at Somerset Mills. He married his
wife some three years since, her father being
Stillman Flagg of Benton, in this county.
They had one child who is now about a year
old. Something like year ago Getchell had
trouble with his wife. They parted, the wife tax
ing the child and going home to her fathers.
Last Wednesday Getchell drove to his father
in-law's where his wife and child were and at
tempted to take the child away. The wife
and her father demonstrated and attacked
Getchell, attempting to injure him. Upon
this Getchell whipped out pistol. levelled it
at his father-in-law and fred twice. One
bullet took effect in the back of Flaggs head
and the other wounded him in the wrist.
Neither Of the wounds, however, were dan
gerous. Thursday, Deputy Sheriff McFad-
den of Waterville, arrested the would-be
murderer and brought him to Waterville.
Yesterday he was arraigned before Judge H.
w. Stewart of that city. Both Flagg and
the wife appeared and testified against the
prisoner. After somewhat lengthy hearing
Getchell was bound over under $1,000 bonds
and will probably be brought to this city to-
day. He does not appear like a vicious man
or one likely to commit murder. During
the past winter he has been in the woods.
Flagg is man about 20 years of age.

Thursday night there was an attempt at
robbery on the ii o'clock Pullman shortly
before the train reached this city. A gentle
man, whose name we did no learn, was re-
Ginning on a seat apparently asleep; when
another man near by reached over and
grasped the first named gentlemans watch
and chain with the intention of stealing it.
The sleeper, however, was aroused and caught
the fellow in the act, thus saving his watch
Mr.. Joseph E. Badger was on the train and
witnessed the act. The conductor offered to
have the would-be thief arrested at this sta
ton, but no one else seeming disposed to
take any action in regard to the matter no
arrest was made.

The following rescrpt has been received
by A. C. Otis, Clerk of the Law Court for the
Middle District:
Wadleigh VS.. Inhabitants of Mt Vernon.
The notice to be given by one injured by
reason of defect in highway, called for by
statutes of 1874 chap. 2l5 was one specifying
the nature of his injuries" The true con-
suction of this phrase was given in .,lacking-
ton We. Rockland sc, Maine 332 and Bradbury
VS.. Benton, 90 Maine 1874.
True the notice must now by statute of
1877 chap. 2O6 be in writing and given
within fourteen days after the acct
dent. But upon the point here
raised the character Of the notice reqired re-
mains as it was then. Upon reasonable
construction of the phrase in question the
plaintiff is not confined in his declaration
and proof to the precise statement OF his in
luries contained in his notice. Results may
have followed not anticipated at the time the
notice was given. The plaintiffs notice in
the present case sufficiently specific to in
clude all the iajures to his person which
might result from his being violently
shaken up and Jared in his fall to the
ground"
The two defences relied upon may have
tended to neutraize each other. In any
event the testimony upon the points presented
to show that The verdict against evidence,
was so contradictory that the case must have
turned upon the opinion of the jury as to the
veracity and crediblity Of the witnesses whom
thew saw and their testimony which they
heard.
1t it is not so clear that the jury erred as
| to make it proper for the court to set aside
the verdict.
Motion and exceptions overruled.
