LAWSUITS.

The case of Hugh II. Holbrook vs.. Joel
S. Leonard, an action for trespass on the
freehold, was heard at Townshend
Wednesday before Justice p. II. Rutter
and a jury. The plaintiff claimed title
to certain land upon which a boundary
wall stood, and on the 18th of June the
defendant removed the wall, damaging him
to the extent of 500. The defendant
claimed record and possesary title to the
land upon which the wall stood, also that
the wall was erected by his grantors and
by his deed he was bound to build and
maintain a sufficient fence where the wall
stood. The jury failed to agree upon a
verdict and the case was continued until
the oath of August.
The suit of +. I. Corser VS.. g. A. Lit
tlefield, an action of trespass on the free
hold, was heard before Justice Walter c.
Crawford at Putney, Wednesday, and
involved the question of the line between
their respective premises. The plaintiff
started to erect fence on what he claimed
was the line, and the defendant sawed off
the posts, for which trespass this suit was
brought. Only portion of the evidence
was introduced, when the plaintiff gave
the defendant judgment, and appealed
the case to the county court.
At Waterman, Martin & Hits office
tomorrow will be heard the suit of Chas.

DROWNING ACCIDENT.

Fred r Kaye, aged % years, son of
| Thomas Kaye, farmer who lives on the
hill in district No. o. was drowned i'm the
West river about l o'clock last Friday aft
ernoon. The place of the accident was
the deep hole in West river, above the |, b.
Estey place, where Miss McVeigh and the
two children were drowned three years ago.
Young Kaye has been at work through the
winter and spring for George Roberts, a
New York city baker, and came home last
week Monday afternoon for a two weeks
! vacation. On the day of the accident, he
worked actively during the forenoon in the
hay field, and after eating an early dinner
started in high spirits for the river, ac-
companied by Bert Crouch, aged about 20.
and Frank LeRay, boy of u or ID. He
said to his mother as he left, II am going
TO have good time where | used to- re-
ferring to his school days in the district
No. q schoolhouse, and his favorite play
ground about the river. His father and
mother both urged him to ''have a good
time, but admOnished him not to 90 into
the water. Soon after arrival at the river.
Crouch undressed, plunged in and swan to
the opposite side. Kaye also undressed
and stepped into the edge of the water,
shivering as he did so, and saying, "The
water is awfully cold, isn't it?' He then
stopped and struck out into shallow water.
evidently intending to take of the first
chill in this way. 1t is a singular fact that
although the water was shallow, he never
came fully to the surface, rising partially
only once, and making some feeble motions
as he did so. The LeRay boy tried to
reach him pole which lay on the bank,
but 1t was too short. The lad called to
Crouch, who Immediately swan back, but
the current had already drifted Kaye's
body down into the deep water, where he
could not recover it. An alarm was given
as quickly as possible, and after about two
hours the body was found and taken out
by men in boat. The stomach and chest
had not filled with water, and the only
reasonable theory is that the shock of the
cold water and the sudden plunge were so
great that Kaye was instantly made help
less. He was the only son of his father
and mother by their present marriage,
though both have children by former mar
Tiages.
He was born and grew up in Brattleboro,
and was well known in the village, having
been employed for two or three years as a
clerk in the store of Pullen Brothers. He
was young man of correct habits, and en-.
Joyed the confidence and respect of his
young friends, of his employers and all who
knew him. To his parents, who are thus
bereft of the son of their declining years,
the blow is a crushing one, and is felt as
hardly less so by Charles Kaye of this vii
lage, his half-brother, with whom his rela-
tions had been very intimate The funeral,
which was held at the Baptist church in
West BrattlebOrO Sunday afternoon, Rev.
F. 5. Smith officiating, was largely attend
ed, and there were many beautiful flowers.
The burial was in the family lot in the
Prospect hill cemetery.

1.-THE DECLARATION OF l77e. "

The New York Recorder asked from
each of the governors of the states, for
publication on July 4, "a patriotic senti-
ment appropriate to the day and year we
celebrate" This was Gov. Fuller's re-
spOnse:
The declaration of 1916: May its prn-
ciples embrace not only the continent dis
covered by the Genoese navigator, but ex-
tend until they encircle the globe. Your
efforts to arouse the public interest in and
to accomplish the restoration of the old
fashioned Fourth of July celebration in the
country are commendable. Yes, restore
again the old-fashioned celebration with
its noise and jubilee, the sound of cannon
and speech let the young enter into their
share of national joy, and the elders pro-
mote the patriotism of the people. Espec-
tally now do we need prudence and patriot
ism, sound wisdom and enlarged confidence
in our institutions, that an awakened pa
triotic sentiment may lift the nation from
selfishness and money-getting to the broader
measures of craftsmanship and public vel
fare. LEVI K. FULLER.

For n'y sOord shall be bathed in heaven. ~
For him, o Lord. who comes this day.
For his knights accolade;
To grid him for the Christian FRAY
For him our prayers be said.
Give him the strength that cen can slay
His own strength at the need:
The meekness that can turn away
From great to lowly deed.
Help him to win Thy peace from strife,
With Christ, his spirits sword;
Then in his hard-won gentler life,
Find him the prophets word.
The armor of all Christian knights.
Thy peace, Thy faith, Thy truth.
Is lordly still when IL ledghts
A consecrated youth.
So, mighty Lord, such arms be given
To this young knight, that he
May battle his virgin sword in heaven.
And win the fight for Thee.

About Lifting the Hat.

There are certain courtesies gen
orally paid by men to women that
long usage has led us to take as a
matter of course. One. of these is
that of raising the hat. There is no
question but that this is graceful
and becoming act for any man, what
ever his age or station may be, or
whoever the woman is to whom he
pays the little mark of Difference.
At the same time many men do not
follow the custom, and the omission
is not necessarily to be attributed to
ignorance nor to a lack of respect for
women, especially if the man is past
middle age. -
Most man who are bald are obliged
to be careful about exposing the head
to draft, and for that reason avoid
taking off the hat out of doors. OF
course there are times and places
when they could do it without dan.
ger, but it would hardly do to vary
the rule to suit the weather. Man

Cork Soled Shoes.


The popularity of cork soled shoes
is on the increase, and the so called
cork is being manufactured in large
quantities, the substance being pro-
duced in long rolls and lengths, and
sold thus to the trade. The only
popularity about the fashion is why
the material is called cork. Certain
ly it is far more valuable for its pur-
pose than cork itself could possibly
be, and this is one of the cases in
which the imitation is far superior to
the original, Some new and more
appropriate name assure to be adopt
ed before long, but not until the de-
mand for cork soled shoes, SO called,
decreases. The shoes of this type
were in great demand, even when
they were both costly and clumsy,
and the avoidance of both these
drawbacks has paved the way for an
apparently long lived career of pop
ularity. Every one who wears them
has his own reasons for so doing,
some thinking they increase the tenn
perature Of the feet and some hold
ing exactly the contrary, but the
fashion has been established, and
that is practically all that is neces-
sary.-Exchange.

A Monstrous Spider,

Mygale avicularia is aemcnstrous
spider, with body two inches long
and legs, when expanded, reaching
to seven, who kills small birds and
hangs them up in a larder of thick
web for future use. This robber car
ries on his murderous trade with
cunning dexterity, for which the poor
finches are no match. His huge
brownish body being thickly covered
with coarse gray hairs and exactly
matching in color the trunk of. the
tree, in some rough crevice of which
he turks unseen, he is ready to pounce
out at moments notice upon his
hapless prey when once entangled in
the fatal web.
Anothermonster of the same genus.
five inches in expanse," of a brown
tint with yellowish lines on his thick
hairy legs, is equally rapacious; but,
carrying on his depredations only at
the door of his den in the brown
earth, needs no protecting color, as
he comes out only at night when all
about him is in adow.-Nineteenth

Moderation In Exercise,

We may well rejoice that the day
has vanished when a pale face, dull
eyes and week chest were the signs
of knowledge, but we will do well to
guard against the other extremes
which regard physical culture as
the most important thing in life.
The young people who attend our in
situations of learning should be en-
couraged to take plenty of physical
exercise. Their inclination toward
outdoor games should not be frowned
upon, but they should be held to
moderation and to Such a wise divi.
sion of their time as win enable them

ADissertation on Hamlet.

One of Miss A. G. Graham's schol-
airs, according to her article in The
University Correspondent, wrote the
following:
Hamlet was weakminded. Fond
of study. But was too weak to fulfil
his duty which the Ghost had told
him. He was very good to his
mother. He profains madness, he
really only put it on but some people
say he was mad. One day when he
was fighting the king asked him if he
would have something to drink e he
had put poison in it & Hamlet said
he would wait the Queen took it &
then she falls down dead Hamlet i'm
mediately stabs his father & drinks
the poisin and dies.

The Age of Turtles.

The age of turtles, like the age of
some excellent women, will never be
known. In many parts of the coun-

of the tortoise, with the date, and
then watch for them in later years.
AT Hatboro, in Pennsylvania, one
was found with IL. W., 1888" cut on
the shell. Mr.. Levi Walton, who cut
the lettering, is still living, but the
slow going turtle will probably Guido

a Fortunate People.

The American people are descended
from, economically, the most effect
i've race in the world. They settled
in the States, taking with them
highly developed civilization and
habits of law and order confirmed
through many generations. They
have half continent at their com
mand, there is even yet vast
amount of unoccupied soil, there is
diversified climate, there are re-
sources almost limitless, and there is
absolutely no enemy they have cause
to fear. Except to maintain internal
order they are free at this moment to
disband their army and navy, certain
that no foreign foe will attack them.
The world has never seen a people SO
happily circumstanced, with such
marvellous opportunities for progress
and improvement.-London Statist.

Mineral Springs, o., comes to the
front with monstrosity. The head
of the child, if such it can be called,
resembles a rhinoceros, and is OF
soft cartilage and almost transpar-
ent. BY close observation the blood
can be traced. THE least touch will
cause the child to open its mouth
and make noise like an enraged
animal. A triangular mark of blue
color extends entirely across its
forehead. The case is vouched for
by DR.. Conner, N, W. Cross and E.
w. Johnson of Mineral Springs.
The freak consumes about three
quarts of milk daily. The child be-
longs to family named Die, rcsid-
ing near Blue Creek, in this county.
Its left eye is black, while the right
eye is deep blue. Its hair from
its nose back to the right side is
light and fine, while the opposite is
coarse and black. The left hand
and foot resemble the claws of an
animal. 1t makes short barks like
a dog.
