s. by a country Justice named
Kenworthy for an imaginary con-
tempt, offered to pay the fine by
canceling an old bill of$7 so which
his Honor owed the editor. His

his revenge by passing some good

The law court has rendered decision on
points involved in the case OF Packard q
Scruton vs.. the Dorchester Mutual Fire Ia.
sursncs Company that WAS recently on trial in
the S. J. Court Of Androscoggin county. The
suit was to recover insurance to the amount OF
$4,000 for the burning OF the block on Pine
-and Lisbon streets, Lewiston, where the new
Scruton Block now stands. The defendant
company contested on grounds which are part
~ touched upon in the rescript. The law
court decides in favor of the plaintiff, and
against the Fire Insurance Company as fol-
lows:
"The plaintiffs made application through an
insurance agent, behaving him to be the de-
fendant's agent He assumed to act as its
agent, wrote the application, sent 1t to the
company, which received and acted upon it,
Issued the policy in pursuance of 1t, wrote the
name OF the assumed agent upon it and sent it
to him and received the premium through
him. Held: That the plaintiffs might well
construe these facts as an official recognition
on the part of the CON paDy Of the assumed
agency. In the absence OF any known reatrie-
tion of such agent's authority he might bind
his principal by waving written assent to
material alterations in the property insured.
Defendant defaulted. Interest to be added
from January %, 1885,"
The above ia said by the attorneys to involve
point of Law of much interest. Messrs. Frye,

One of Grants Callers.
Never Spoke 10 the General, Bus Loves
axis Old Commander.

An old man walked slowly up Sixty-sixth
street, New York, when the shades Of night
were falling, looking up at the numbers as
be went along. His hair was white and
bune nearly TO his shoulders, and q long
beard that nearly covered his face rivalled
his hair in color. In his right hand he car
ried heavy cane, and the left coat sleeve
was empty and Tapping in the March wind.
His clothes were ill-fitting, and had long
passed the cast-off period. He leaned heav-
lily on his stick, and there was limp in his
gait. When he reached the last house in
the block, that of Gen. Grant, he stopped
and stood for long time looking at the
front door. Then he slowly went down the
few steps leading to the basement door. He
rang the bell, and when the girl came he
asked after the health of the General. When
told that he was better, be murmured fer
vent ''fhank God" and slowly retraced his
steps He was asked when near Madison
avenue:
"Did you know the General?''
''No, my lad,'' he answered in feeble
voice. 81 can't say ever spoke TO him in
my life, but / was with him in the Wilder
ness, and feel as if knew him better than
IL spoke 70 Nun. des my Old command
er, boy, and l love him, and so does every
man that ever fought under him. When
the battle was over and the Rebs had taken
TO their heels, l was lying in a shady spot
where had crawled TO, when the General
rode by, God bless himi My arm and leg
was a-banging by thread, and as he passed
me shouted, 'Hooray.' and the Generals
face lit up with smile that was mingled
with JOY and sadness. When he went out of
sight that smile haunted me. That was my
last battle, and l never saw him again, but
that pleasant recognition is as plain In my
mind to-day as it was then, and love him
for it. God knows that my prayer goes up
every hour to have bis life spared to the
country he saved" said the old veteran as
he hobbled away.
