useful experience at DR.. Nelson's this
fall. They set large wire trap with
hole in the topfor entrance, sprink-
ling the bottom of the trap with sun
flower seeds. In the morning they
found seven full grown rats safely

time there have been no signs of rats
about the premises

The following disposition was

Non-suit without costs, Jennie E.
Grady V Daniel Donley.
The first case tried was S. L. Moore
Frank D. Hill, apt. This is in ac-
tion in trover and the plaintiff claims
5000 damages. On July II, 1888,
Mr. Hill hired team of the plaintiff
to go to Willoughby lake and on the
next day an accident occurred on the
banks of the lake beyond Richard
sons hotel The harness and car
riage were broken and the horse fell
into the lake. The argument for the
plaintiff is that the accident occurred
beyond the point where the team
was hired to go, hence the defendant
is liable for damages. The defense
denies that the defendant hired the
team to go to Richardson's hotel, at
this end of the lake, but that it was
hired for Willoughby lake and that
the ladies who were driving the team
had right to go anywhere on the
lake. The case will reach the jury
today.
The next case is Thomas Flood V
James Gilman, a slander case in refer
ence to poisoning oxen with paris
green.

meet with the Canadian Pacific at
Newport, via the Clyde river, thence
southeast to Lunenburg and the

as the Boston & Maine own the Pas

almost parallel that road by laying

What q -( Story u

For neuralgia. a novel cure-whch we hafdly oe-

for it is said, bv a correspondent of the New ork
Sun An Irish girl at Patterson, n. j., had suffer
ed with neuralgia of the head and face until almost
frantic with pain actually beating the wall with
her head to cause insensibiity. Her employer nav

the sting of a wasp, asked the girl If she would Try
it. With courage born of despair, she exclaimed
'Any other torture would be pleasure beslde
this A yellow wasp was obtained, and vcXed
into singing her face. Within few moments the
pain ceased the gri fell asleep, and strange to say,
never again had an attack of neuralgia. Well, we
don't blame her. The remedy was probably too
heroic for second DOSE a learned specialist when
told this warn remarked, "The pam may have stop
ned temporarily, but it could have only been tenn
porary" Continued he, sit is fact that Il sudden
shock to inamed and painful nerves will stop PAM
