to make operations more hopeful, and,
London being strong. added TO the good
feeling. Daring the morning prizes were
well held, and in many cases fair gain
was made. Some selling Of long stock
looked suspicious, but the market took

Why Have u Seal on Deeds?

In recent address before the Yale Kent
Club, at New Haven, the venerable Do vid
Dudley Field said: Another of the anon
allies which should be eliminated from our
legal system is tho distinction between
sealed and unssaled instruments. Can
any body give reason for this distinction,
except the historic one that seals were
used when most men were unable to write!
Now, when most men do write, why use
the seal? Or if the seal is used, why give
it significance and importance not
given to the writing? / fud in your
revised statutes provision that deed OF
real property must have seal and two
witnesses at the least. You cannot trans.
fer to your neighbor cabin for 800 with
out these ceremonials; but you may trans
fer to him 81 900, 900 worth Of railway
stock by simple signature without seal or
witness. Upon sealed instrument you
may bring suit within seventeen years;
but il the seal is wanting you must enc
within six years. 1t is reason why these
anomalies should be retained in the valley
of Connecticut, because they come from
the valley of the Thames?"

he sat by himself in the room which over
looks the river, with account books before

loved brandy as well, or Hollands, or rum,

Wicked Revenge on the Railroad.

A railroad running through Emanuel
comfy recently killed a razor-back hog be-
lor ging to widow, and she entered suit
for damages for the value of it. The rail-
road won the case, ii being shown that the
proper signals were blown and the precau-
tons taken, and the plaintiff was sorely
distressed about the result. She had con-
vetted the pig into lard, and as the road
would not pay for killing him, she bestowed
what remained of the porker on the COM
papy. On dark night she took the pot
of grease, and proceeding to the track Of
the company, coated the rails with liberal
dau5 of grease for about quarter OF mile.
1t took all the sand thst the engines could
bring TO bear on the track for two days to
tide over the spot which crippled traffic
Now the widow is threatened with law
