Has Used Them Forty Years.

r. S. Day, Of WatsOnyille, Santa
Cruz county, CAL, writes February 8,
1885: When my wife was seventy
three years old she was troubled with a
very bad cough, and it looked as if she
would die with consumption. She would
not call in a doctor, but commenced
taking Brapdreth's Pills-two and
three every night. In three weeks she
was completely cured, and her health is
now very good; and | am sure the
Pills have prolonged her life as well as
my own, for | have used them forty
years. and am now eighty-four years
old. They have been nay only medi-

In the case of R. Ii. Maury Il Co.

Judge Wexford held that as this was q
penal and statutory action the offence
must be clearly and strictly made out,
and that the evidence did not warrant

Before q select but very appreciative
audience the beautiful and exciting play
Of a" Wages of Sin " was performed last
night at the Theatre. The piece itself
is q great moral lesson, while at the
same time there are amusing incidents
that relieve it Of any monotony. The
interest is thoroughly maintained
throughout, never for moment tagging,
and the ease and perfection Of the acting
make it thoroughly enjoyable. The

A number Of bricklayers' laborers in

also. This some of the contractors
refuse to give, as they think the de.
mand unreasonable. The hod-carriers
of several contractors are still at work,
but if the differences are not arranged
by Monday it is probable all will stop.
The hod-carriers are mostly negroes.

Yesterday morning before the Su-
preme Court Of Appeals proceeded to
the consideration Of the Cluverius case
Judge Lewis president Of the court
said
1.-The Court deems it due to Mr..
Lamb, the editor Of the Lac Journal,
to say that no blame whatever attaches
to him for the publication in the Jour
nal of what purports to be the opinion
Of the court in RyGR'S case, to which
reference was made from the bench
yesterday ednesday).
The facts are that the opinion, as at
first prepared by the judge who deliv-
cred it, passed upon all the questions
presented by the record and argued at
the bar by counsel. This was in ac-
cordance with the request of counsel.
Afterwards, however, and before the
opinion was filed with the record, the
Court determined that the opinion
ought to be confined to the question Of
jurisdiction, and it was reformed ac-
cordiDgly, and as thus reformed deliy-
cred TO the clerk. The original
manuscript, however, was fur
nished to the counsel at their
request by the judge who had
prepared it, and in this way, it seems,
it found its way into the Journal. 1t is
also proper to say that under the cir
cumstances no blame is to be attached
to the counsel by whom 1t was furnish
ed to the Journal"
Mr.. Hansborough, who is the official
reporter of the court, was the counsel
in the case, and by him the decision
was prepared for publication in the
Lar Journal, as stated by Mr.. Lamb
yesterday.
