BEFORE JUDGE HASKELL.

HoULToN. September 16.
Arthur r. Gould VS.. Edmund Madigan.
An action ON accounts, amounting to Sl95 IA.
for spruce boards, planks, laths. shingles
and brick. claimed to have been furnished
the defendant for making repairs upon his
houses at Presque Isle.
The defendant claimed that the supplies
were purchased on a specified time and that
the bill had not become due when the suit
was brought, and also that the lumber was
Of inferior quality. The defendant also in
voked the statute providing that plaintiff
cannot recover for lumber sold without an
official survey.
That court ruled that, inasmuch as 1t did
not appear from the evidence that the lum-
ber sued for, other than the laths, was sur
veyed as required by statute, the plaintiff
could only recover for the value of the brick
and laths. The plaintiff contended that the
burden was upon the defendant and not the
plaintiff to show the want of an official sur
vey. The court directed verdict for the
plaintiff for S28.50 the value of the laths
and brick, with interest Plaintiff files ex-

harvest Moon Tonight.

The moon which fulls tonight is the most
beautiful moon Of the year and is known as
the Harvest moon. 1t obtains this distinc-
tion because 1t is the full moon nearest the
autumnal equinox, the equinox occurring on
the 23d, and the full moon on the 18th. five
days previous. The moon. under these con-
ditions being in Aries, makes a small angle
with the horizon, and.rises for several nights
with comparatively small average varia-
tion in the time of her appearance. The an
cient husbandmen explained the phenome-
non as divine interposition to help them In
gathering in the fruits of the earth, the con
tlnued early rising Of the moon prolonging
the day for this special purpose.
