DECISION IN AN ICE CASE.

One of the most closely contested law suit
in which kennebec ice companies We're con
cerntd. tried for many years, has just bee
decided in favor of the plaintiffs, the partie
being the Centennial Ice Co., of Gardner, vs
Baker and others of Providence, K. |. Tn
case has been in litigation since 1873 and ha
created much interest among KennebPc ic
men. The facts are that the Centennial Go
made contract with the defendants to delive
5000 tons of ice to them the 1st day of October
1878. When the time for delivery came, Bake
Il Co. refused to take the ice. Shortly aflei
wards the price went down and the plaintiff
were unable to dispose OF their product withou
great loss. They accordingly sued for damage
and were finally awarded 81 ton or total o
$4,000. MIR. Frank Stevens, of Piltston, man
aged the case for the Centennial Company.

did. Witness thought when belong
found himself giving out, he should
have given his men a chance to

them to kill themselves with when
all hope was abandoned.
Witness was then questioned in

HIS DUTY FIRST.
After that Retaliation for Insults
and AnnOyanceS.

~
A lady living on Harrison avenue
Boston, near the Albany bridge, is
the owner of very large and in.
te'lig ent Newfoundland dog. He ID
a faithful animal, and has been
trained to run Of errands and fetch
up wood and coal. which duties he
performs as faithfully as human
being. Yesterday morning she
wrote an order for her dinner, and
placing a silver coin inside the pa
per put them in q basket, and
giving it to the dog sent him out to
the market. He was returning with
his purchase when a gang Of corner
loafers called up few idle ours and
set them on him for the sake of see
ing what he would do. They barked
and yelped and howled around him,
biting bis legs and TANKS until the
blood came in places; but with the
exception of occasionally striking at
his annoyers with his feet when
they came close in front of him, the
Newfoundland paid no attention to
his dieagreeable companions until he
had arrived home and placed the
basket on the house steps. After
whining and scratching for few
minutes he was relieved of his
charge by his mistress coming to the
door. AS soon as the basket was
taken from him he turned upon his
heel and walked back leisureIy with
his hands in his pockets, apparently
for the sole purpose of inspect
ing the weather. Arriving in the
midst of his late antagonists he
sauntered upon one of them in a
patrcnizing sort of way, and taking
him into his capacious jaws nipped
him until there wasn'G a yell left
inside him, and then threw him
against the side Of building. By
the time this was accomplished the
other ours had taken the hint and
begun to evacuate the sidewalk in
an undignified manner. Bot the
was after them in
earnest. Selling one by the nape Of
the neck, he threw him across the
bridge, another was hurled through
an open doorway, a third was cor
nered at the door of his own resi-
dence and whipped into submission,
and in this manner the avenger
pursued his task until the last one
had been thoroughly chastised.
Then the master of the field went
home as quietly as he had come,
and, after dressing his wound by
the most approved methods Of
canine surgery, composed himself
for sleep.-B3ston Globe.
