WEDNEsDAY.-Tbe following decisions and
rescrpts were sent down yesterday In cases pend
ing on the law docket:
KENNEBEc COUNTY.
Edmund f. Webb VS.. Frazier Gilman.
Rescyfpt du Haskell, 1.-The evidence discl0ses
a most wantUn, brutal and malicious assault upon
the plaintiff by the defendant with deadly
weapon, accompanied with threats TO take the
plaintiffs life, and without any provocaiion what
ever. The court considers that the verdict for
$4,000 is neither against law or evidence nor that
under the peculiar circumstances OF tbisscase, the
amount awarded is excessive or more than IS
reasonable and proper aud necessary to have that
sautary effect Intended by the law in such eases.
Evidence of the actual pecuniary ability OF the
defendant may be shown to bear upon the
amount of damages necessary to work obedience
10 the law, and as warning to others nor to COM
nit like offence.
PENDANT IN aggravati0n OF the assault Is a proper
ingredient for tbs jury to c0nsiser In assessing
the actual damages sustained, even though ex.
empary damages may by added thereto. Ex-
as matter of right. Actual damages may be,
and whatever elements make the measure OF the
latter cannot be withheld or excluded tneretrOm,
because the former may or may not belawarded.
Malice is a prerequisite TO exemplary damages.
and may be a factor in assessing actual damages
1t is settled law In this State that exemplary dam
ages may be allowed where the trespass COM
planned of Is wanton and malicious.
Motion and exceptions overrued.
PENoBscoT COUNTY.
Richard V. Pratt VS. Matthew Lincoln.
Rescript by Haskell, J.-This IS an action OF as
sumption TO recover the price of fly wheel, bolts
for bushings, etc. The defendant undertakes 10
recoup special damages for breach Of the contract
of sale in that the wheel was not seasonably de-
livered. The evidence fails to establish con-
tract that the wheel should be delivered within
specified time, and therefore his defense fails al
together. l. shows the contract price sued for.
Defendant defaulted.

HOW MEN DIE.

II we know all the methods of approach adopt
ed by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward
off the danger and postpone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable In many instances
the inherent strength of tie body sufices to ena-
BILE it to oppos the tendency toward death. Many
however, have lost these forces TO such an extent
that there is little or no help. In other cases,
little aid to the weakened Lungs viii make all
the difference between sudden death and many
years of useful life. Upon the first symptoms of
a Cough, Coli, or any trouble OF the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and well known remedy
Boschee's German Syrup, a careful trial. 1t will
prove, what thousands say of it, to be the "bene-
factor Of any home" nov1-dlycT
