hold value. To secure these, a writ of
replevin was issued. Suit for these was
brought and the case assigned for trial
at the court of common pleas. At the
appointed time, however, though the de-
PENDANT was present with attorneys,
neither the plaintiff nor her lawyers made
an appearance. DeForest & Klein sent
word that Mrs Howe was sick at her
Winter home in New York; but Judge
Perry asked why a physicians certificate
was not furnished and the case was non
suited because of the plaintiffs failure to
appear. At a subsequent occasion, Mr.
Klein made motion to reopen the case,
but it was denied.
Two checks, aggregating $3.50, were
received by the Y. M. c. A., last week :;
a decided encouragement, as neither of
the gentlemen who contributed had been
especially solicited to do so.
In connection with the case of DR. Har-
wood, who kept drug store on Pequon-
mock street, lost money and left for New

nett, the wholesale liquor dealer, for $40.
He attached the drug store and contents
(Which, by the way, stood in the name
of Mrs Harwood,. the doctors mother) i,
placing keeper in charge. The case
was,tried before Justice E. S. Garfield,
Coroner Doten appearing for the prose-
cution and George P. Carroll defending
Mrs HARDWOOD and the doctor. The case
was appealed to the court of common
pleas and the defendants won. A new
case was brought and again tried by JUS
tice Garfield. Once more was it appeal
ed and this time the Judge, sustaining an
objection made by Mr. Carroll, ruled out
the testimony of the plaintiff, thus
throwing the case out and multiplying the
Judgment for $40 and costs of $l4 OBJ

Tar Smoke for Diphtheria.

that the vapots of liquid tar and turpentine
would dissolve the 6brlnous exudations
which choke up the throat In Group and

DR.. Delthi's process was described. He
pours equal parts OF turpentine and liquid
tar into tin pan or cup and sets fire to the
mixture. A dense resnous smoke arises,
which obscuree the air of the room
"The patient" DR.. Dslthil says, Gimme
diatsly seems to experience relief; the ohok-
ing and rattle stop the patient falls into q

pleasure. The fbrinous membrane soon be.
comes detached, and the pstisnt coughs up
miorobicides. These, when caught 10 q
glass, may be seen to dissolve in the smoke.
In the course of three days atterward the
patient entirely reoovers."
Dr.. Nichols tried this treatment next
day with little Ruth Lockwood She was
lying easping for breath when he visited
her First pouring about two tablespoon
iuls OF liausfed tar on an iron pan, he pour
ed as much turpentine over 1t and set it on

ABANDONED FARMS IN MAINE

Labor Commissioner Matthews
has completed his computation OF
abandoned farm statistics in the
state. Out OF the 500 cities, towns
and plantations in the state, returns
were received from 497 and the num-
Der OF abandoned farms reported ae-
gregate S,31O, or an average OF
about 6& per town. There are 312
returns that report one or more
abandoned farms, while 1874 report
none. The total acreage of these
farms is 254 ,545, or 1871 acres per
farm, and they are valued for taxa
ton at 81, 24S,769, an average of
$4.99 per acre. The assessors do
not as a rule give any reasons WHY
these farms were abandoned" We
fear this number will be largely in
creased as soon as the farmers learn
OF the great advantages offered in
the Red River Valley, especially in
Marshall county, where the results
obtained each year make farming an
assured success There is no use to
till the stony barren hill sides in the
east, when the richest agricultural
lands in the world can be obtained
rs cheaply as in this county at the
presenG time.
