The Phelan and Sanger Cases Decided.
 The Supreme Court of Connecticut decided on Tuesday the cases of Phelan vs Walsh and Sanger vs Henry. The result of the decision is victory for the defendants. Judges Seymour and Fenn dissent from the decision as re- gards the double ballots. Judge Car penter wrote the opinion of the court. Some of the points decided are as fol lows: When two or more ballots for the same office and the same person are found in the same envelope one is to be counted. Ballots folded so that they can be recognized should be rejected. The word "for" prefxed to the name of the office does not vitiate the ballot. The general principle is laid down that in order to reject ballot as having some distinguishing mark on it, it must be evident that the mark was made with evil intent

The Earl of Balcarrek.

Many little stories are told in illustra- tion of the kindliness of heart of the Earl of Balcarres under a somewhat rough exterior. One season he had a field of turnips upon which he prided himself 8 good deal, and walking abroad in the early morning he surprised an old woman busily engaged filling 8 sack with his favorites. After giving her hearty scolding, to which she re- piled only by the silent eloquence of re- peated courtesies, he was walking away when the woman called after him: "Eh, my lord, the bags unco' heavy. Would ye be sac kind as to help me on to my back wi itP'-which he did forthwith, when the culprit decamped with pro- fuse thanks.-Macmillan's Magazine.

Our quiet valley was startled on Sat urday afternoon to hear of the accident al shooting of Stiles Stevens, Jr., while out hunting with Wm Canfeld,Jr. It is quite serious but not as bad as at first reported {. as it was reported that one eye was shot out and 1t was feared the other was so badly injured that he would lose the sight of that, but all though 26 shot struck him in the face and eyes it was found that none had struck the sight of the eye. It is sad affair but it is to be hoped that boys will be more careful with firearms in the future.

neafn... Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infiamed you have a rumbling sound or im- perfect hearing. and when 1t Is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to It's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
