THE LONDONDERRY SITTER,
!. We we're treated TO a geneuine old

:, We were treated to geneuine old
fashioned justice law suit Monday
and Tuesday. The suit was brought
by one George Herrick, who has re-
IDENTIFY become resident of this
town, against one Isaac Brown of
Dandy, and was tried before justice
Holden and a jury, occupying Mon
day afternoon and evening, all day
Tuesday and into the evening. The
action grew out of a lumber transact
ton between the parties, the details
of which would be of no interest to
our readers. Lawyer Cudworh APP
peared for Herrick and Hon. s. Mich.
OILS and VIM, p. johnson of Dandy,
two distinguished west-side legal
lights. The jury brought in a YER
dict for the plaintiff in the sum of
So, Sc and like amount for costs.
Now here comes in considerations
that furnish food for thought, name
ly, the costs of this suit to the par
ties concerned and others. The
plaintiffs legal costs amounted to
Sl3.22. This deducted from the
amount given him by the jury allows
him $3.50 towards paying his lawyer,
throwing his own loss of time in.
The defendants costs were wit
nesses S21, damages and plaintiffs
costs, allowed, s17.72. To this must
be added the expense of two lawyers
for two days, hotel expenses and
keeping two horses, jury and con
stable fees, making something like
5000. Besides all this loss the
witnesses and jurymen lost two days
time. Verify, the plaintiff got the
horns, the defendant the tail and the
lawyers the milk. Well, let us be
thankful that, in such cases, there is
milk for some one.

Death OF Mrs. Amy Howard.

With regret the SITTER announces the
death of Mrs Amy Howard, relict of the
late Lewis Howard, which occurred at
the residence of her daughter, Mrs. James
H, Hill, at Lagrange, Ill, last Sunday.
Mrs. Howard was well known to all our
older citizens, having spent nearly the al
loted time to mankind in our midst. She
was universally esteemed by all who knew
her. She was first married about 60
years ago to Calvin Pierce by whom she
had one child, with whom she died, hay
Is years. About 80 years ago, her hus-
band having died, she married Lewis
Howard. In entering this family she be-
came stepmOther to five or six children,
among whom were the first wife of law
yer Martin, Mrs. DR.. BiXby OF. POultney,
Mrs. Sem Pierce Kirk and the late Geo.
Howard and daughter, Caroline, now
| deceased. as are also the others with the
exception of Kirk and Mrs. BiXhy. To
these childred she became faithful and
| loving mother and had the love and es-
TEEN of each and every one of them. In
very early life she united with the Meth
odist church but later joined the Baptist
where she held her membs rship to the
day of her death. For nearly 10 years
she was a devoted Christian worker, ac-
tive and Jealous in all good work.

Written for the SITTER,
GOD is LOVE.

God is love, the yiolets tell,
Smiling In the sunny dell
And the Mayaowers still proclaim
That Love is his sweetest name,
God is love, the flowers say,
Blooming thro' the long June day;
And the twlnkling stars above
Nightly answer, He is love,
God is love, the purllng streams
Tell in ways that haunt our dreams,
And the cool and shady grove
Softly whispers, He is love,
All the yerdant hills and dales,
Forests bending in the gales,
And all things, beneath, above,
Daily tell us, God is love,
