WEDNEsDAY.-Joseph A. Noyes and ais,
VS.. Mary A. McGrath. This was real ac-
tion to recover possession of a house and lot
on Wilmot street in this city, conveyed to
the defendant by Mrs. Kingsbury, now de-
ceased, by, warranty deed. The plaintiffs,
who are the heirs of Mrs. Kingsbury, claim
that when she made the deed she was of un-
sound mind and incapacitated thereby to
convey real estate. The case has been on
trial four days, and a large amount of testi-
mony has been introduced upon both sides.
The jury was out three hours, and returned
a verdict for the defendant. They also
found two special verdlcts as follows: Did
Mrs. Kngsbury at the time she executed the
deed to the defendant know and nationally
understand the nature and effects Of her
aetP. To which the jury answered, YES"
Was Mrs. Kingsbury. at the time she exc
cuted the deed TO the defendant, suffering

sufferinRs Relieved

On Head, Face and Nsck-A ChiId's
sufferfngs Relieved
The following is from well known Lowell
merchant, and is, like all our testimonials, per-
ectly truthful and reliable. Salt rheum is a well
known disease Of the blood, and Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla is the best blood purifier.
"When my little boy was only few months
old, eczema, or salt rheum, appeared on his face,
head and neck. 1t also came out on his body, but
not so severe as on and about his head. Blotches
and pimples would come out thickly, break and
discharge thin watery fluid, and then scales
would form.
1T ITCHED INTENSELY,
and caused the poor little fellow great deal Of
suffering for nearly five years. In that time we
consulted several of the leading physicians but
he did not seem 10 get any better Then, about
a year ago. we decided to give him Hoods Sarsa-
parilla and as the result of fair trial ne is now
entirely well, his skin being smooth and fair as
can be-. We also used Hoods Olive Ointment and
found 1t excellent as an outward application.
TO HOODS Sarsaparilla and Ointment we attribute
wholly the improved condition of our boy" M.

end escaped, but he will be caught before
many hours, and both will learn that 1t costs

One of the most interesting suits in which
a trial was anticipated at this term has been
continued. This was an action brought by
the town of Newport against the Kennebec
Fibre Company for damages resulting from
the raising Of lake Sebasticook, at Newport,
by dam, thereby overlooking and damaging
a large amount of valuable property. Some
of the town ways have been injured by the
fowage and several serious accidents are
said to have resulted from their bad con-
dition. The Fibre Company claim to have
purchased the right to raise the lake, but the
town proposes to contest this claim. The
case will doubtless be tried in January.
