case of Charles A. Champling and Clsr-
ence II. Lowell VS.. Alonzo Shackford. 1t
appeared from the testimony that the de-
PENDANT had several second hand buggies
at his shop, which belonged to the
plaintiff, and had sold all but one of
them. The plaintiff had q chance to sell
this one and made a demand for IL of
the defendant, but for some reason it
was withheld, and this suit was brought
to recover the price OF the buggy, which
was put at $50.
The defendant claimed that he held the
buggy because the plaintiff had not paid
him for the storage of the carriages. The
plaintiff claimed that there was an agree
ment with ~Shackford, to keep the car
risges without charging any storage till
they were sold. Judgment was rendered
Tor the plaintiff for the sum claimed S30.

One of New York's leading physicians.

the terrible feelings of the anxious moth
er when she sees her child in q fit.
But there is help, and help right at
hand.
Here is what a parent, Mr.. Herbert K.
Harrington, Box 274, Adams. Mass, says
to all the parents of this land:
sour little boy Royal had fits. He
would drop to the floor, sometimes for
ward, sometimes backward as il he was
dead, and If he was eating his head would
drop on to his plate, SO we had to hold up
his head all the time he was eating. II
he went across the floor. someone had to
lead him, and the slime would run from
his mouth. His stomach was so weak
that his food would not digest, and every
muscle of his body would twitch SO it
was impossible for him to do anything.
"For two years we took him to our
local doctors and they could do nothing
to help him, and advised US to take him
to a specialist. We did SO and he told US
that he had epilepsy and was incurable.
He lost his speech for six weeks and
continued having the fits SO he would
have nine or ten in a night.

by the arrival Of Henry David Hearn, a

alleges that a ante norton statement of
the deceased woman, who died suddenly
in commissions, attributed the cause OF
death TO poisoning at her husbands
hands.
