Per tHriam. one Mrs. Trca,iwrll was Il patlpcl
in need of relief in the defendant town. The plain
TIL was an lnhabitant OF that town, and incurred
necessary expenses tor her relief. The town was
therefore bound to pay the plaintiff those expcnses
after notice and request to the ovcrsccrs and until
provision was made for the pauper, Il. :. ch. n
sec -. There 5 evidence in the case tending to
show that the plaintiff did make notice and request
to the overseers for relief for the paupcr. The
ly pioIis if any made for her by the ovcrseprs
was some arrangement with the plaintiff for her
care. If there was an arrangement, the town is
bound to pay on the contract If there ar
rangcmcnt, there was then no prov ison made f0r
her, and the town is bound to pay undct the statute.
The contention of the defendant that the plaintiff
withdrew his notice ami request, and consented to
assume the relief himself is ucgativcd by the YER
dlct. Whether the towns liability is under the
statute or under some contract may be uncertain.

MAINE MECHANICS.

1t is source of pride to us to note two sig
nal instances Of the triumph of Maine men in
the world of invention The Sewall Safety
Car Heater was invented by Mr.. James II.
Sewa. OF this city. 1t heats cars by steam
heat direct from the boiler and it has been
pronounced in Il late number Of the Scientific
American, the best authority in the world. to
be the most practical invention Of all that have
competed for the favor Of railroad managers
The great achievement of MIR. Sewall is his
automatic coupling. This has 10 rival and has
been adopted as the coupling to be used by the
Pullman system. In the end the other systems
will adopt this brake of SewalFs and the
course of the Pullman managers has settled
the success Of the patent. This will carry the
stock to Il high figure and make the future of
the brothers, ID. d. and J. II. Sewall, two
worthy young men. 1t is Il great triumph of
skill on the part of young and intelligent
map, genuine son Of Maine.
AMERICAN RAILWAY GATE.
This is one of the simplest but most practical
pieces of mechanism have seen for years. It
was invented by Mr.. Geo. A. Hall Of Water
ford in Oxford County and is proud achieve
ment for him. 1t is pneumatic in operation
and easily worked. A man can remain under
cover and operate it without the least difficulty.
1t is raised and lowered by compressed air.
The Baltimore and Ohio II. II. have ordered
large number of these gates for their road.
The men who had sense enough to buy stock
in these two Maine inventions have reaped
golden harvest. 1t is a source of pride to me
to note such triumphs Of Maine boys May
others be equally rs successful.

The Crusade Against RumseIIIng.

The "Shipping Ollice' near the foot of Main
street, which has been run of late seven days in
the week and opened at five O'Clock In the morning
closed last Saturday noon. The young man now
in Jail for selling liquor there is understood to have
been merely the agent of old hands in the business
and to have received $40 a week for his services.
When he went to Jail another young man took his
place, and it is believed to be the intention of the
proprietors to run the shop whenever it is thought
possible to do So The premises will bear watch
ing.
1t may be safely sad that never before in the
history of Belfast was the sale of rot-sut so
eflectually suppressed. There are those who say
that the sale has merely been confined to a few
places and that as much liquor is sold as ever but
this IS not true. An old citizen says that one of
the worst drunkards in this city told him that he
was unable to get drop; and for his own part he
could remember back fifty years and could not re-
call so dry Il time "Why," said he, speak
ing of former occasion when the saloons were
buttoned up, "you could always get drink then
from Abncr, who carried it about in his pocket"
Judge Walton makes a distinction between n
man held in Jail for trial, and one who has been
tried, convicted and sentenced In the former ease
the prisoner is simply in custody of the sheriff that
he may be produced when wanted, and NAV have
such liberty as does not impell his safe keup;ng.
IN the latter case he is sent to Jail for punishment
and not for recreation, as the Judge exclaimed in
committing the rumselicrS, after their conviction
and sentence, to sheriff Watlsworh If they could
not be so imprisoned here the Judge proposed TO
send them to the jail in Bangor
