September 27.-Bad weather for the
farmers harvesting their grain. The
potato crop is likely to be light on
account of rotting. Some farmers re-
port nearly one-half the crop spoiled.
The people from thi S section who at
tended court at Guildhall have all re-
turned, feeling we'll that they could do
so when they pleased, considering it
was grand jury term.

ESSEX COUNTY COURT.
September Term.

In the divorce case Colby VS.. Colby,
mentioned last week, which was for
the wilful desertion of the wife, the
Court was not quite satisfied about
the reason why or the circumstances
under which the wife left, and refused
to grant the divorce, but continued
the case to give the petitioner oppor-
tunity to show more fully the why or
wherefore of the desertion.
In the case of Jacob WEIGH VS.. VIM.
Bowe, an action of general assunpsit,
judgment was rendered for the plant
| if for $l2 and costs, the Court holding
that even if the goods sued for and
| delivered to II third person, and if
they were charged to such third per-
SON, yet the fact that plaintiff relied
upon defendant to pay for them and
would not have delivered them but
for the assurance of the defendant that
he would pay, rendered him liable in
| this suit.
The case of the State VS.. j. Legassy,
for burglary, was disposed of by the
respondent being sentenced to two
years imprisonment in the State prison
at Windsor.
Two indictinens were presented by
the grand jury against one Boutwell,
of Concord for assault and battery, to
which he pleaded guilty, and was fined
$25 on each indictment, with the al
| tentative sentence.
There were upwards of 90 new en-
tries, but enough of the old cases were
disposed of to leave the docket num-
bering the same as before, about So
cases. Among the new entries is a pc
tition of the Town of Norton VS.. Aver
i'll and Canaan, and the State of Ver-
mont, the real purpose of which is to
get the State to assist the town in
maintaining the highway, an action
brought under recent Statute, and
which is probably the first case that
has arisen under that Statute. The
case of @. E. Benton, Admir-. Potter
VS.. The Pass. g. Conn. River II. r. Co
, is brought for injuries received in a
collision with fast train of cars or
one Of the defendants crossings, and
the plaintiffs team, on which occasion
Mr.. Potter was killed and his wife Sc
J riously injured.
Although there are not many Eight
ing cases." as they are called, on thu
docket it is thought there are some
} which promise sharp contests, so thai
we may have next term some jury
trials which will remind us of OLE
times. The lawyers are evidently be
ginning to tire of the reference system
J for many are talking fayorably of 90
} ing back to jury trials.

Lake road was the scene of another
drunken row, late last Saturday night.
Now this being prohibitory State
where did the parties Implicated i'll
the disturbance get their rum? Can
we help making the repeated assertion
" Prohibition does not prohibit" No
arrests of course.
The above is an exact reproduction
verbatim of an item we published last
week. Don't think it is the 81 me row,
but the item is perfectly descriptive of
the second row. We think we shall
keep this item up in type, seeing that
the rows occur regularly each Satur-
day night, and if they are to be con.
tinued, the item will likewise appear
in future editions.

EAST CHARLESTON.

September 28.-The grist mill of G..
e. Corruth was broken into on the
night of September 81, the safe blown
open and some So or $40 taken. The
parties entered the mill through a
back window, drilled hole through
the door of the safe to put in the pow
der, and then put several bags of grain
in front of it TO deaden the report ;
the marks of burnt powder could be
plainly seen upon the bags. The
burglars then moved the safe through
the door into the wood-shed adjoining
and darkened the only window in the
shed with some coats that hung there
and proceeded to examine the con-
tents it seems that money was all
they cared for. Notes, deeds and
other papers were found scattered in
and about the safe the next morning,
but no trace of the burglars has yet
been found. 1t seems that three men
strangers, were in the village the day
before, and one was in the mill, but
nothing was thought of it at the time;
they all stood on the veranda Of j. s.
Sweeney's store for a while, and one
went in and bought q small piece o
tobacco, and then all three started
towards West Charleston, and each
one of them had small bundle under
his arm. 1t was found the day after
that two of them took dinner at John
Beams and the other one at William
Moulton's; but neither of them had
any bundle with them ut the time
they were traced as far as Plunket
and were not seen or heard Of afte
that, the supposition is that they lief
their bundles soon after leaving the
village and at night came back anC

Der talk of going.
The Jail is now destitute of State
boarders, Boutwell's friends having
paid his fines thereby relieving him
from a sojourn of 295 days at Rutland.
Another evidence of a mothers love
for an erring son.
John Legassy, the other inmate of
the Jail, left on Monday morning in
care of Sheriff Grout for Windsor,
where his residence is to be for the two
ensuing years, and Of all the mean
sneaks who have occupied rooms at
the Jail he is without the least doubt
the masterpiece, and there have been
a good many hard, tough characters
confined in the Jail. All have tried
more or less to make their escape,
some in one way and some in another,
and in few instances have been sue
cessful in breaking out and since evad-
ing capture. But this Legassy is the
only one who has ever tried to break
| Jail by sinking himself out. lie con-
trived and executed the job of stop
ping up the waste pipe in his cell,
then made complaint that it smelt so
bad, that it was unhealthy, that he
ought not to be kept in it, and unless
the jailer let him occupy the corridor
he should be obliged to make COM
plant to the grand jury, which it ap-
pears he did. 1t is hoped by his friends
here that the prison authorities will
be able to give him all the ventilation
he may need.

"SOmetimes they work, and some
times they don't" seems to have been
the favoiite communication from the
spirit world as reported at the Island
Pond Hall last Tuesday evening by
Prof. Dayton. From the groans that
emanated from the cabinet" while
it was occupied by the Prof. and IIor-
ace, and from the generally democrat
lied appearance of the latter on re-
gaining his liberty, led the audience
to conclude that the spirits had been
at work. Horace on being interviewed
by interested parties, i'll reference to
things seen and heard while in the
midst of shadowy forms, replied: That
Prof. is Il devil, and that's all | have
to say. The popular verdict in refer
ence to the entertainment is very CON
fiicting, some say spiritualism was ex-
posed, while others say it was u hum
| bug
