le plaintiff
c. question was
oriS in defective
manns .rt of 1t has been
washed never repaired; that
1t was de. .e in not being provided
with n railing on the east side and that
there were distractions upon it at the
time'and place in question.
The first witness was Albert Wheeler,
who, as the case stands on q default,
simply testified to his injuries; that he
was nearly frozen to death and almost
drowned; that his lungs and nervous
system were greatly injured; that he has
suffered terribly in body and mind and,
In consequence, is incapacitated for la
Dor. DIR Stevens testified to attending
MIR Wheeler at the time of the injury and
described the condition OF his patient.
His lungs and nervous system were
greatly injured and his working ca
pacity seriously impaired. DIR Stevens
was corroborated by DIR L. M. Boards
ley, who also attended Mr. Wheeler at
the time and testified that their patient
was then in critical condition, unable
to speak above a whisper, with pulses
hardly perceptible and temperature very
low. They did not then expect that he
would live. DIR Porter also gave evil
dence as medical expert. He had ex-
amined Mr. Wheeler and found his lungs
In a feeble condition; also heart feeble
and prescribed rest and tonic treatment.
Plaintiff then rested.
Mr. Alling then introduced Eras Burr,
who testified to visiting the place of the
accident the day after it occurred and
seeing track turn off to the left just
south of the Lemuel Lewis place, pass
over the stone wall and through the ad-
Joining field into the hole. Water on the
travelled path was up to top of a mans
boots. Minor Smith, the next witness,
came down the road, December Z, 1856,
with cattle; reached place in question;
saw road overlooked; turned around and
went back; saw wagon track that came
down the road and went off over the
wall; saw man on horseback come down
while 1 was there and ride through water
on Travelled path; 1t was not up to the
belly of the horse; about up to his
knees.
Mrs Stowe remembered the day in
question saw Wheeler coming up the
street; thought him drunk or suffering
from st. Anthony's dance. He staggered
and fell; came to their door and asked
for help; said sister, carriage, harness
and horse are drowned and / am dying;
wanted To lie on lounge; witness, with
Mr. Knapp, pulled Off Wheeler's clothes,
which were so frozen that they did not
notice at first that they had been wet.
Wheeler told story as follows: Came to
stream; drove in length of wagon;
horse drank; looked at carriage. He
worked off to left; saw smooth place and
thought he could drive that way; at
tempted to do so and carriage went
down. He could see the road.

The editor of the Mendon Nescs leaks
wisdom naturally. Here is a solio
chunk of it: IAN editor works 365i
days per year to get out SO issues of a
paper; that's labor. Once in while
somebody pays him for years sub
scription; that's capital. Once In a
while some son of a gun takes the pa
per for year or two and vanisbes
without paying for it; that's anarchy.
But later on justice will overtake the
last named creature. for there is q
place where he will get his deserts;
that's h-sheol."
Glover and timothy are In a sense
tillage grasses, and on dry lands re
quire to be renewed every four or five
years. The clover lasts two years,
then for two years more its decaying
roots insure good crops Of timothy.
In the fifth the grass will often be SO
light as to be Improbable. 1t will
then be best to till the land two sea-
sons preparatory to laying it down to
grass. The period OF timothy can be
considerably prolonged by applying a
full dressing OF stable manure soon af-
