both from the carriage, Mr.. Higgins
being thrown with great violence
against ledge of rocks, badly wrench
ing his side and back and bruising him
about the head and shoulders. His
uncle, who was driving, kept hold of
the reins, and was dragged long dis

bruises. Mr.. Higgins was taken to the
city, where he received medical at
tendance. Away from home and
friends, deprived of those attentions so
highly priced by an invalid, confined
to his bed and suffering pain from
physical injuries, he resolved to return
home. He left on Sunday afternoon at
five o'clock, taking a sleeper as far as
New York, and arrived at st. Johns

noon. He still suffers much pain. His
escape from a serious if not fatal in

The Wakefield Case.

The case of the Presbyterian society
against Horace Wakefield for an action
of trespass on the freehold, with DANA
ges claimed of 5000, was heard before
Justice Montgomery and a jury on Sat
urday. The defence put in no evil
dence, but relied on the failure of the
plaintiffs to show that there is not
legally such an organization as the
Reformed Presbyterian society, quail
fed to bring suit. The plaintiffs
claimed that as the defendant had
pleaded not guilty to the general issue,
they were not called upon to prove the
legality of the society. 1t is admitted
that the society had no right to attach
the staging to Mr.. Waketield's fence,
and that the latter could bring action
and recover for such trespass. 1t was
claimed, moreover, by the plaintiffs,
that the defendant had no right to re-
move the cleats from the fence in such
a manner as to endanger life or entail
any lOSS vi w SONlCbN
The amount of damages claimed by the
plaintiffs covered not only the actual
damage caused by the loss of the paint,
the broken windows, &c, but mali
ciOus damages as well. The jury re-
turned verdict for the plaintiffs OF
S23 and costs. The matter of the iu-
! risdiction of the justice arising, the
hearing on this point was adjourned
until Tuesday morning, when the JUS
tice decided that he had no jurisdiction
and dismissed the case. The point
raised was the limitation of actions oil
trespass on the freehold where the
damages claimed do not exceed twenty
dollars. The plaintiffs costs were
Sl7.29. The first hearing was ad-
journed, at the request of the defend
ant, on condition that the defendant
should assume the plaintiffs costs
which amounted to 1888. This amount
deducted from the defendants tota
costs, allowed the defendant by the
court as reasonable COSTS" leaves {
balance of S10.IS due the defendant
from the plaintiffs. 1t is not improba

Musical Recital.

The sacred musical recital at st. An
drew's church on Monday evening was
attended by about three hundred peo-
pie, testing the entire seating capacity
of the church. The programme was
opened by the TIE Deum sung by the
st. Andrews, North and South church
quartettes. The organ sOloists and ac-
companists for the evening were w.
H. Nelson, NJ. ii. Eddy and B. b. Gil
lette. Selections were given by each
quartette separately, by the male quar-
tette, and by the North and South quar-
tettes combined. The sOlOists were
Miss Julia X. Whipple, Mrs. H. X. Ide,
Mrs. p. F. Hazen, and Mrs. w. S.
Streeter. Mrs. Streeter's voice was a
new one to a st. Johnsbury audience,
and she won much favor. The other
soloists have been heard on many pre-
vious occasions, and always with pleas
ure. From the grand opening to the
doxology with which the programme
closed, the exercises were highly cIed-
liable to those participating and to
Mrs. ID. ID. Patterson, under whose di
rection they were arranged.

Election Matters.

The second town meeting has not
dispelled all the doubts and uncer-
tainty concerning the election of
town officers. The second meeting
was called by the selectmen to fill
vacancies created by the designations
of the listers and first constable elect
ed at the first meeting. Geo. d. Ran
dali, the collector elected at the first
meeting, finally declined to resign,
and no provision was made at the
second meeting for the election of
another collector. AS the matter now
stands, Mr.. Randall is collector, and
was elected in the same manner as the
first listers. n. NJ. Johnson, who was
elected first constable at the first
meeting, also rendered his resigna-
ton, and an article was inserted in
the warning calling the second meet
ing for the election of first constable
to fill the vacancy but, in the mean
time, Mr.. johnson had recalled his
resignation so that, when the meet
ing was convened, if Mr.. johnson had
the same right to withdraw his resig-
nation at that stage of the matter as
he had to tender it, there was no va
cancy to fill. No question arising as
to the validity of the proceeding,
Avery ID. Pike was elected first con-
stable to fill the supposed vacancy.
Mr.. johnson has filed his bond as
constable, and is performing the duties
of the Office. Mr.. Pike has not filed
his bond as yet. If he does, there
will be two cOnstables, each claiming
to be the legally-elected constable
What will be the outcome does not
yet appear. The matter will be in
vested with degree of uncertainty
that will make people fearful of en-
plOying either officer in a matter
where important interests are al
stake. We understand that Mr.. John
son proposes to test in the higher
courts the legality of his election if il
is questioned by any one else assum
ing the functions of first constable.
In the Wakefield suit on Saturday
this question assumed peculiar form
The authority of the constable to serv,
the venire came up, and Justice Mont
gomery decided that Mr.. johnson wa
the legal constable, as he had FLEE
his bond and Mr.. Pike had not don,
so. When the time arrived for sum
moning the jurors, in the absence o
Mr.. johnson the court appointed MI
Pike a special officer of the court TO
the purpose. Mr.. Pike partially per
formed the duties, making his retur
to the court without affixing his off
cial position to his signature. Later
when the rest of the jurors were sum
moned, Mr.. Pike was absent, and tn
venire was served by Mr.. johnson
who made his return certifying to
as first constable" Thus the venir
was served by two separate officer
