After eight years of legal warfare the noto-
rious Sharon case was brought to hnai close
last week by the action of the Supreme Court
of California in reversing the Judgment OF the
Superior Court, which gave Mrs Sarah Aithea
Terry $500 for alimony and counsel ices
The decision of the Supreme Court declares
that the Federal Court had first and full JurlS-
diction of the original case, and that the
elaborate and costly proceedings in the SUI
perior Court were therefore invalid. This ac-
cording to the dispatch of our San Francisco
correspondent published to-day disposes OF the
new suit brought by Judge Teny's widow, ana
also terminates all other litigation in the we'll

Golden Wedding.

The Manchester Journal has the fol-

The golden wedding of Hon. Ira K
Batcheldor and Mrs. Nancy Barnard
Batchelder took place at their home IN

invitation were sent by their sons, Hon.
J. K Batchelder of Arlington and Ed

fined to near relatives of the family and
few special friends. OF those invited
bout forty we're present, those from
nut of town coming by rail in the morn.
ng the others at 30 p. IN. At o'clock
Hon. j. K. Batchelder delivered an ad
iress of welcome in his usual pleasing
lyle, which was followed by a prayer
by Rev. E. J. Ward of Hyde Park, then
singing of the familiar hymn, "Blest b.
the Tie that Binds" Next came the
reading OF congratulatory letters from
rIends who were unable to be present
ny Mrs. j. K. Batchelder and s. d. Wins
low. A poem written for the occasion
ny the aged bride was read by Mrs E B
BatcbeIder. Another original poem by
Mrs. Chas. Batchelder of Peru was read
ny the author, and a sell cted poem by
Mrs. ]. Ward. Very appropriate re-
marks we're made by Rev. E. j. Ward.
Rev. G. II. Smith of TowDshend. Frank
Ward of Burlington, E. B. Batchelder,
and Luke Barnard of Bennington. The
presents brought by the guests amounted
n value TO more than one hundred dol
ars, besides more on the way from
trends at distance. In behalf of thu
lUnors S. d. Winslow was called upon
10 present the gifts to the bride and
groom. Judge Batchelder responded t.
The remarks made in his happy style,
during which he rehearsed many events
Of interest in his past life. After eng
ng "In the Sweet by and by" the com
.Iany took an hour for personal congrat
uiations, examining the presents, and
At o'clock followed a bountiful
supper which was hugely enjoyed by
every one present. AS Judge and Mr.
Batchelder were natives and for many
wears residents Of Bennington county, it
may not be amiss, in this connection to
mention some facts in his public life
which has been confined to Peru and
TOwnshend. He has. during the fifty
yeara of his married life, been honored
with every Office in the gift of the town
in which he has lived. In the year 1S49
he was elected to the legislature from
Peru and in 1850 and 1851 he was Sena
Tor from Bennington county. In 1854
and 1865 he was associate Judge of the
county court with Hon. L. G. Kellogg
as Chief Judge. He was chairman Of
the board of selectmen Of Peru for ten
years, including the period of the late
war. He has been connected with the
Windham County savings bank in diff
ferent capacities for the past II years
For AZ years continuously he has been a
justice Of the peace. In addition to his
public and private duties he has been
foremost in all church work in the
churches with which he has been con
nected. Mrs. Batchelder has been no
less active and useful in church and
other benevolent work. 1t was the
earnest wish Of those present that this
honored couple may live to celebrate
their diamond wedding.

Rlnn and RIuafer.

The Rutland hIgh-license organ came
out on Wednesday morning with an
offer to pay one thousand dollars to the
person who would prove to the satisfac
ION of one or more of the supreuI,
court judges any one of six propositions
These are That the organ has carried
on the campaign at the instigation of
any one or anything outside of the State:
hat the prime mover is any one except
The owner and manager of said organ
hat any person or corporation has paid
any one connected with the paper for
aklng the course it has; that matter
published in it's columns has come from
rum dealers; that negotiations are pend
'ng or have existed between the organ
and rum dealers affecting the organ p
policy, and, finally. that the organs
aim. purpose and policy of opposition to
prohibition have been other than
greatly to reduce the present number
4 liquor sellers in Vermont and gen.
-rally to promote the cause Of temper
ence.
Safer offers could not have been made.
In the first place the organ knows, or
ought to know, that no judge of the SUI
preme court would for a moment think
Of acting as arbiter in this matter. 1t is
not the kind Of work for which they are
paid, nor is it such job as they would
wish to engage ia In this esJect alone
The whole thing ia absurd. Nor is any
one OF the first five propositions at all
pertinent to the main issue-the advisa
bility Of substituting high license or
local option for prohibition. Whether
the organ is or isn't paid doesn't signify

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

News is news, and advertising is ad
vertising. In the latter category be-
longs the announcement of fairs, con
certs, or any other entertainment To-
which an admission fee is charged, or a.
which money ls taken for any cause
whatever. Hence when a newspaper is
asked to give gratuitous publication OF
a notice of anything of that kind, it is
asked to do so much advertising with
out pay for it just as 1t would be If II
was asked to advertise the sale of q
house, farm or any other property with
out pay. There is an impression in the
minds OF many people that such an
nouncements are local news, but this il
erroneous. There may be reasons why
the publisher would be willing 10 do
nate to the object named the sum that
would ordinarily be charged for such ad
vertising, but as rule he should expecI
to be paid. 1t has been the custom OF
late for the Argus and Patriot to SC
charge, and that rule will hereafter be
more strictly adhered to than in the
past.-ArguS.
This is becoming the rule also in many
places. Possibly it is fostered all the
more from the fippant way the hand
ing in Of complimentary" tickets are
spoken Of. In recognition of from So to
$5 of straight advertising it is often the
custom to hand in one or two 25-cent
tickets with remarks as to dead
heads" Dead-heads. indeed
