The Supreme court decided on We'd nesday the celebrated case of Richard B. Leake, trustee, against Thomas l.. Watson & Co. This case was tried be- fore Judge Robinson of the Superior court in Bridgeport, a trifle over year ago and reserved for the advice of the Supreme court which advises theSuperior court to render judgment for the depend ant. Mrs Georgiana Nichols sued T. L. Watson & Co.for $50,000 to recover trust funds, which she and Mrs Charles Bulk ley deposited with Watson &5 Co. as se- curity for certain investments, which proved unsuccessful and the funds were used to cover losses. The case has ex- cited unusual interest throughout the State. It was the first time the ques- tion had been before the Supreme court.

In the Superior court at Bridgeport, last Friday, Attorney E. Livingstone Wells made answer to the application of E. Wheeler and others for writ of man. damus to compel the 1890 vestry of Christ church to call special parish meeting. The answer was that the defendants have no right to call such a meeting, because their successors were elected, April and they have no title to the office, nor have they acted in the capacity of a vestry since. In the quo warranto proceedings of William H. Marvin, the Hyde parish clerk, against Charles H. Jones, the act ing parish clerk, the answer was that Mir Jones, not Mir Marvin, was elected clerk at the parish meeting of April 6 and, even if that meeting was illegal, Mir Jones holds oyer until his successor is elected and qualified and, therefore, is the right ful clerk. ssrhe Hyde replies to these answers will be filed, next Tuesday, 9th.

A recent issue containing the account of the suit against c. G. Sherwood has done injustice, including the name of Mrs c. B. Sberwooe as one of the "parties to the suit'' in question. She has no part nor interest whatever in the case, nor does her name appear in the writ served. Her mother, A. l.. Swan, holds three notes Ion demand'' of money borrowed from her by c. G. Sherwood at various times during the past five years. The notice was sent him that she would like amount of these notes with interest due and the reply of c. G. Sherwood came in the form of board bill sent to her; in return for seven years service as house. keeper. All any one could do under like circumstances was to bring suit to recov- CT the value of these notes and to include also like amount for the services ren- dered him. His land, where his house stands, was all he owned which was at tachable. No other motive than to waive payment of a just debt could have prompted such course, as she explain ed to him, when the request was made, that, if he could not then pay the notes, she would like part of the money due her. MT Sherwood, ST, did notify his son, several weeks previous to leaving for the North, the time when he would be due here, hence the clearing of house. hold goods and all the stock and every tool of a well stocked farm. They have suffered much trouble and inconvenience thereby.

else in the city to start and maintain this beautifulresort. Expense nor time should be considered in making this pedestal as perfect as possible, that it may be an or nament to the statue. Should the day on which it is unveiled be made a holi- day, there would be little room left in the whole park, after the people had gathered. It would be a day long to be remembered, not only by citizens of this city, but by thousands from out of town.
 Saturday was big day for the great est show on earth and they may well feel proud of the patronage in their own home, for at both performances the tents were crowded to their utmost capacity and, after all standing rom had been taken, the doors were closea and hund- reds of disappointed peopleFurned away. No doubt many had come nj les and were too late. The people well k1ew who was at the head of this gigantic enterprise a man, although young in age, still grown old in the business and more than capa- ble of taking first place as kng of the amusement world. Long before the clo SC of this season, many people, who thought that, as the great snowman, P. T. Barnum, had been laid at rest, there was no one to fill his place in the amuse- ment world, will learn that his equal partner, James A. Bailey, stands at the head and, with experience, combined with his untiring push and energy, the greatest on earth is still at tie head and will always be as long as its under his management. Always on hInd and look ing after the interests of hispatrons, ev- en to the minutest detail, hoy can it be otherwise? Every one come to one con- clusion on leaving the great ents after a performanee,-itis is worth fai more than the price of admission. Thee is no oth- CT enterprise on earth where 30 much is on exhibition at any one perfTmance as under this immense sea of teIts and it does not seem possible to tie outside public that any one man could have the nerve to stand at the head and carry it
 all out. Still all is done by MIBai1ey in
 quiet way and anyone seeinghim, giv-
 ing orders to his assistants or directing S.-tS sa0tai1- of thn SiS Sat shUV,s would think from his manner that he had no more care on his mind than shoolboy at play. The great enterprise quietly enters each town or city earl in the morning and soon the whole place is wild with excitement and, aftefIthe ey- ening performances, which ah always carried out according to the program ad- vertised, and while the people Iare talk ing and wondering at the grea perform ancc just witnessed, the wholeshow has been packed up, loaded and is spinning along the road to the next town and the circus employees are fast asleet in their sleeping coaches.

GREENFIELD HILL.

Mrs Mary P. Hull, widely known in this vicinity, died, Monday morning at o'clock, at her late residence. Her death, which was very sudden, was caused by apoplexy. Last Saturday, she spent the day in visiting friends and seemed to be in her wonted health and spirits. When she retired, Saturday night about 10 30, she seemed as well as usual, But at ,, the next morning, feeling a strange dig ziness of the head, she called to Simon Burr (who has worked for her for many years) desiring him to rouse Mrs Warren Nichols, (who has made her home with Mrs Hull for several months) and also to reach her, she had sunk into stupor, from which she never could be reused. Her funeral took place, Wednesday morn- ing at 10, after which she was taken to Danbury for interment. Mrs Hull was 62 years old and was well liked. She was remarkably we'll informed woman, with excellent judgment.
