MONROE.
THE BITRR-osBoRNE, CASE.

In the case Of Burr against Osborn,
which is now attracting so much atten-
ton, the facts seem to be as follows: Mr.
Burr keeps a tenant house which he
keeps fol- the use of man to help him
on his farm. In February last he hired
Osborn to do farm work and rented him
the tenant house. Osborn worked until
about the middle of July, when he refus-
ed either to work longer or vacate the
house. Mr. Burr after trying for several
weeks to persuade him to go to work or
leave, ESQ he could put in another man
in his place. commenced legal proceed
ings to get possession of his property.
Mr. Burr is probably the largest en-
ployer of farm help in the town and has
always had the reputation of dealing
fairly, honestly and literally with his
help. The fact that he has been able to
raise 1900 bushels of Strawberries in a
single year and had them all picked and
marketed in the short space of three
weeks shows this true. 1t is probable
that Osborn and his family while they
worked for Mr. Burr received as kind
treatment and as large wages as any fam
lily of farm laborers in the town.
1t also appea RS that Mr. Burr tried ev-
cry means which kindness and reason
could suggest to get possession of his
property without resortipg to law. He
even hired man and team to go with
Osborn and assist him in finding a place.
He also offered to furnish teams free of
expense to move him. The verdict of the
jury on the Sth was surprise to disin-
terested parties who heard the trial and
meets with general dissatisfaction. 1t is
considered unjust.-[***
