| ination can do. the Ladies' Financial Aid So
| ciety OF the NJ. f. church, Orland, about a
year ago commenced to raise funds TO repair
/ aud improve the church. The society being
! small 1t seemed impossible for them to raise
| the necessary funds TO do all they thought was
needed. but now they have finished all they
intended to do have laid out about FIVE hun
dred dollars, paid all bills, and have little
money left in the treasury. A furnace has
been put in which warns the church so per-
fectly that they find in it new source Of de-
light each Sabbath: while the new paper and
paint and other minor improvements add still
more TO the attractions.

and no exceptions were taken. The question
1t issue was whether the dissesin OF the de-
PENDANTS and their grantors had become. from
lapse OF time. n legal sesin in them. The YER
diet was for the defendant. and the jury must
have found all the elements OF fact necessary
to give the defendants title by adverse posses
sion for more than twenty years. A careful
consideration OF the evidence fails TO show
any error in the verdict. Some OF the qties-
tons submitted to the jury were peculiarly
