This was an action on the case 10 recover
damages on account Of deceit practised in the
sale of a horse to plaintiff. The evidence on
part Of plaintiff tended to show that in the
fore part of February last the defendant ex-
changed horse to the plaintiff for buggy
wagon. That the defendant represented TO
plaintiff that the horse was but nine years
old and all right with the exception Of being
in very thin flesh and having one defective
knee, aud we'll worth S65, the price of plain
tiT's buggy wagon. That the horse was 9TH
erwise unsound than az represented, and was
ugly aud baky and of no practical use to
plaintiff That the horse in fact was not
worth exceeding S25, the price for which it
was sold at auction. The evidence on the
part of the defendant tended to show that he
did not represent the horse TO be all right and
sound except the knee joint. That he gave
the plaintiff all the information he possessed
about the horse. That it was not balky
horse, but would work kindly il well used.
That plaintiff WAS fractions with the horse
which occasioned it to balk with him. That
the horse was worth all plaintiff paid for it.

bition In the number and quality Of exhibits

cultural implements and farm machinery
The Eolsteins largely outnumber any other
breed OF cattle on the ground there being no
less than ~ herds represented. The largest
exhibitors In the cattle department are the

H. ID. Hazen Of 81. Johnsbury. There are
1877 exhibits OF stock horses, 20 OF match

The checklist of this town contained the names
233 voters, of whom only twO-thrds voted at the
recent state election Several persons past 80 years of
aye voted Tuesday. The oldest voter in the town is
Ebeuezer Person, aged 50. The whole number Of
votes cast for the three state tickets 1879. The
highest number of votes cast for town representative
was 1856; the Repub lean candidate received majority
of three on the fourth ballot. Five different persons
were voted for the first ballot for town represents
tive but the number reduced to the three leading
candidates GU the remaining ballots. few scatter
ing votes were cast on each ballot. The Democrats
seemed to be well organized, having IL members on
their town committee while the Republicans, who
greatly outnumber them, have only one ON their town
committee. The Democratic vote OF &c for represent
atye is the that cast for the state ticket The
number of Democratic voters present probably did
not exceed 4G the Republicans therefore numbered
no. As they cast only Of votes for the state ticket
evidently Republicans did not care to vote for state
and county officers. Probably every Democratic voter
in town was strongly urged to be present at the tow
meeting, while most of the Republicans were left to
act their own pleasure-gO or stay at home. Onegood
Republican voter, who has a team and was IN good
health staid at home and did not learn until three
days after election who was chosen town representa-
tive We doubt whether any Democrat failed to kno"
the result of the election the day of the meeting
The number of names checked on the list correspond
ed exactly with the number of votes cast ana no
votes were put into the wrong box. Inc printed Da
lots for representative in Congress and town repre-
sentative were much alike in appearance, and unless
each voter was particular to state which represents
tive he was voting for, there liability 10 mis-
take as was the case in BratlebOrO. 1t is possible FOL
the election officers to make the mistake OF placiht
votes in the wrong box, but we think it much more
likely to be the fault of the careless voter himself u
not speaking the name Of his ballot distinctly that nj
vote sometimes goes ustrays D. l. NJ

Mr.. Walker = fine looking man, and his face
