Two Boston Legal Stories.
Boston Journal. I

A clerk of one of Boston's courts tells q
very good story of a somewhat Eighty law
yer who was once trying case in which
there was great scarcity Of witnesses, and
the evidence was about all circumstantial.
Finally the lawyer got excited and ex-
claimed: ''Why, judge, the angel Gabriel
came to me last night and said this man is
innocent" The judge, who happened to be
writing, did not even look up, but said in
the most matter-of-fact way: Let him be
subpoenaed."
Another legal story relates to Gen. Butler
and Judge Hoar. The judge is a very digni-
fed man, has no relish for pleasantries in
court such as the general enjoys, and, be-
sides, does not love the general very much
One day the judge read an extract from some
law book, and the general, as is his won't,
asked to see it. ''There it nes," said the
judge sternly, as he pointed to it. YES, :"
said the general, as he took it up, there it
does lie." The dignifed court got decidedly
the worst OF that bout.

FOURTH EDITION.
The Cattle Plax ne.

Considerable objections are raised by
farmers TO tn. amendment proposed In
the Legislature to the bill 10 stamp out
the pleuro pneumonia. The main OBJ
jection Is the price which limits the APP
praisment Of condemned cattle to $50.
Mr. George g. Lobdell, whose herd IL
probably one anon. Ut the most affected
with the disease, thinks that IL $50 II
made the outside limit OF the apprais.
nent, and the owner Is only TO get two
thirds Of that from the State the
inducement will be for many owners TO
not report cases in the hope that they
may finally recover which II done,
would only prolong the disease.
The only way to stop the spread OF
| the disease, he says, Is To stamp II ont
effectnally. no matter how severe the
| measures 10 be- adopted arc. As for
curing cattle affected, Mr.. Lobdsll says
| II In An utter impossibility "
10 do, as il IL a disease Of the
lungs, which become completely mar
bleized and inpervious To either hood
or air. One hundred dollars, Mr.. Lob.
dell thinks, 10 not too great limit To
the valuation 70 he placed upon cattle
condemned.
Mr.. Lobdell says now that the Stat
has veterinary surgeon, he should he
paid liberal salary. The $500 salary
proposed would hardly pay travelling
expenses 70 the points where he might
be called. As the State has taken the
matter in hand, the State should stop
at no half way measures TO extirpate
the disease
IL nigh. be- little costly at Il rst, but
much would be saved In the long run.
