Probat. Court Proceedings.

In the probate court yesterday, be-
fore Judge Staehle, the case of Will
lam Dorsey V. Myers Bros, for the
collection Of an account Of the sum Of
SIS was heard. The testimony of
George Myers and the plaintiff Dorsey
was taken aud developed the fact that
Myers Bros. set up a counter claim,
alleging the loss of some eighteen
head Of sheep out of the band which
Dorsey had been herding on Powder
river, setting that forth as reason for
the non payment Of the amount said
TO be due for wages. In his testi-
mony, Mr.. Myers admitted that he
knew before the loss Ct the sheep, that
Dorsey was rather inexperienced as
sheep herder and claimed that the
sheep had been left without cafe sew
eral times while Dorsey had charge of
them and that finally he had given
Dorsey to understand that he would
be held accountable for the loss Of any
sheep that might occur. The liability
for the loss Of the sheep was not adj
nlitted by the plaintiff, who claims
that at such times as he left the band
it was for the purpose Of obtaining
provisions, except on one particular Oc'
casion he had been driven away by
cattle. The getting Of provisions con-
sisted, in one instance Of the young
man taking some hours one afternoon
for the purpose Of hunting antelope.
The case developed one ofthe peculiar
experiences of sheep herder, for ac-
cording TO the young mans testimony
the sheep were driven TO point where
considerable number of cattle were
ranging about $50 head ofwhich mixed
up with the sheep aud drove them
into the hills; IL was at this ime that
he thought the eighteen head Of sheer
must have been lost as claimed by Mr.
Myers. One Of the bulls among Tho
cattle referred to, got after the herdeI
and chased him away from the herd
ing grounds; be chased him, he said,
for distance of about one mile and
a half. The case was not closed last
evening, but II will probably be de-
cided to-day, and the court adjourned
until Monday morning at 10 o'clock

west. As lac neared that sea board
city which is indisputably the me
tropolis of the country, he found that
people were enOt easily approached,
tLat they eyed their neighJors
uskance aud passed on without the
pleasant salulation that many west
ern neighbur is wont TO give, and on
the street cars aud elevated railroads
scores of people travelled buried in
their own thoughts and paying little
attention To those who were around
them. IL was not the privilege of the
stranger 10 express his surprise at the
wond, rlul growth and development
that had gone on the city during his
absence, TO those with whom he was
not acquainted, however cOngenial il
might seem that such conversation
would be. From the old fireside ia
miliar faces had gone, from the old
social circles the boys and girls had
disappeared, again he must needs he
introduced INTO society and carry him
self very circunspectly. As he went
about dHy after day through the busy
streets and saw the thrOngs pass and
repass, each hurrying on in his own
way, the stranger felt like maverick
of the herd, without a regular grazing
ground. Month after month passed
10y till several months were gone, bus
iness Of all kinds went along in its
regular channels, men piled their vo-
cations with their customary zeal but
still, the lines were drawn, the west
erneT felt that lie was out Of his ele-
ment and he packed his grip, bought
his ticket aud started again to see the
prairies and ride the ranges. 1t is an
undeniable fact that those who are
used TO western ways and who return
To their old eastern homes, find, for
the first few months at least, that
they feel out Of place aud thus it is
that western men who become so sit
uated in business or so placed that
they have to remain in the east, often
yearn for another trip TO the free
fields of the west and wish for an
other season among the hospitable
and light hearted men Of the border.

Western Life.

What charm is there that makes a
man feel like writing his mother-in-
law that he don't care TO return to the
pleasures and comforts of the east and
that he prefers to put up with in
conveniences and hardships among
the free hearted and bospitable,
though sometimes lively and reckless
people Of the west. There are many
men tilling the prairies or riding the
ranges, who have every opportunity
forthe enjoyment OF old eastern home
life, who would rather watch the
growing grain or ride the rough bad
lands than again enter upon their old
time social round Of enjoyment. The
fact Is, the generous feelings which
extend from one TO another among
western people makes one at home
anywhere among them. and after a
period Of exemption from closely
drawn social restraint few men re.
turn to II with oil the satisfaction OF
their first home experience. So long
as the western man strives for the
right and obeys the laws he need
never he ashamed Of the careless air
aud brusque manners that his adopted
life mny produce. His matter-of-fact
methods and evident sincerity offset
the impulsiveness and forwardness
that some might consider out OF place
and unnecessary. His manly bold
ness is more TO be admired than de-
precated.

that all their proceeding were before
the District Court aud conclusive az
the facts recited therein.
The proceeding showed that Car
land had never given the bond which
the law required before he entered
upon his office, that be had indeed
presented bond three days after his
term commenced, but this bond was
never approved by the board or filed
with the County Clerk, and was after
ward disnpproved by the board,
which placed the amount of the bond
in the sum Of $4,000. A new bond in
this amount was presented to the
board on the 81 Of April and disap-
proved.
II was also found that Garland had
paid on: 81, 100 from the county treas
ury as attorneys fees, without war
rant from the board, and this money
had been diverted from it, proper

These proceedings also showed that
the books aud accounts Of the Treas

of the causes the law not only re-
quires, but 1t il made the duty of the

DEMOCRATIC BOSSISM.

Some Criticism from Democratic source.
tFrom the Brattlcboro Reiormcrl
The RctOrmCr has refrained from eX-
pressing any opinion on the postofIice con
troversy which has filled Dandy 50 full O
uginess for the past few weeks. But
there is sufficient reason for revoking he
appointment, in the fact that it is show WIN
To have been obtained and supported by
false representations, by petitions which
were largely bogus in regard TO what they
purported to he, and by the names Of
women and children which were palmed
off as those of voters. a large majority of
both Democratic and Republican patrons
of the Office wanted some one else for
postmaster. Even if it is true, as the
Adams side claim that undue "influence'
was exercised by Il large Republican en-
plOyer in favor of Bond, the fact still re-
mains that the tactics employed by Adams
should hoist him from the office, as they
undoubtedly will
The case shows how impossible ii is
for any man or men, however earnestly
they may try, how extensive their ac-
qualntanCe, to properly direct appoint
ments for even Vermont, and much lar
ger states, 1t shows that Il boss" is Il
nuisance. The RJOrmCr'S position has
been all along that as long as appoint
ments must be made by petition, re-
commentator and influence, the
responsibility should be brought
home. a county committee is safer
to rely upon than II State commit
tee, and Il town committee than county
committee. If committees are to do it
and there is no other practicable way I'M
der the present system-each case and
each contest should he sifted and passed
upon by the town committee, then by the
county and State committee, and after
such Il process, recommendation ml- at
be made to Washington with some assur
ance that it would not afterwards prove
! TO be only Il sham.

The entertainment presented at St
Mary's hall Friday night by the pupils
of st. Patrick's academy was attended by
an audience that filled the hall to its ut
most capacity, and the affair was IL sue
cess in every particular. The programme
opened with Il drama in four acts, entitled
Marie AntOnette," with eight female
characters. The young ladies all took
their parts admirably and the costumes
were very attractive. The interest of the
drama was greatly enhanced by the stage
setting which was fine and well arranged.
The tableauX showing Marie Antoinette
kneeling for her mothers blessing, and in
captivity, and the court of France were
all striking and We're well received by the
audience. Music between the acts fur
nished a pleasing variation. At the CON
1luson of the drama farce, '"Ihe Office
seekers" was presented in an acceptable
manner by boys and another, Aunt

good taste by Young ladies. The quar-

Several years ago Alvan Clayton bought
"a small farm in the West part of North
Pawlet, for about $1,000 He was in debt
for most of the purchase money, and
it was thought for some time that he
must lose his farm. About that time the
slate interest developed itself at Middle
Granville, and following the vein south
Mr.. Clayton's farm was reached. Quar-
ries were leased and opened, and proved
successful In eight or ten years Mr..
Clayton paid the largest tax of any man in
town from the royalty on his quarries,
He soon caught the idea that he was over
estimated in wealth by the officials and
moved into New York state. Last week
he sold twenty acres for $4,000 and to
another purchaser small piece for $4,000,
being $24, 600 for small piece of rock
hill that would not pay for fencing for
farming purposes. He has now several
quarries that are worked on his farm aud
has his farm left.

The Methodist society Of Plattsburgh
dedicated their new church edifice most
auspciOusly on Wednesday. Bishop Bow
man preached the dedicatory sermon, said
to have been mastery effort worthy
of the man and the occasion. The church
is one of the finest in Northern New York
costing about S62, 600. There was out
standing debt to the amount of about 500
900. Rev. DR.. Couch of New York was
present to assist in lquidating
this financial burden, and set Sl5,-
900 as the subscription limit. after
finishing his hortatory remarks DR.. Couch
called for subscriptions and within a short
time $4,000 were subscribed, and there
seems to be no danger of falling short of
the $4,000 limit. Burlingtonians who at
tended the services Of dedication report
that the inclement weather did not appear
to interfere with the success Of the ser
vices in the least, ana that the prospect of
the Pittsburgh Methodist society is fiat
tering.
