A BROKEN PASTURE FENCE
Lets an Interesting Caso in Before the su
premo Court.

Montpelier, Feb. 4--The court resumed
| Its business in the Chittenden county
cases this morning and took I'D the case
of o. G. Lucia VS.. M. e. Meach. This was
an action on the case for negligence of
the defendant In regard to the plaintiffs
horse 1t appears that the plaintiff hired
the defendant to pasture his horse in the
town of Charlotte that the defendant
owned land both sides of the railroad.
That on the 25th day of September, 1894,
he PLAINTIFFS horse was found dead on
the track. The evidence tended to show
that there had been q storm and a severe
wind just prior to the accident and that
by reason OF this the fence was blown
down, and so allowed the horse to escape.
In the county Court the defendant offered
evidence tending to show that his fence
was equally good as that of others In the
neighboring territory, which the court ex-
cluded and to which ruling the defendant
excepted; also there was evidence tending
to show that the plaintiff knew of the con-
ditton of the fence, and that the fence was
well repaired in the spring. The defend
ant requested the court to charge that IL
the horse did not get out over any fence
known to have been broken down, that the
plaintiff could not recover and that II the
plaintiff knew of or became acquainted
with the condition of the fence he could
not recover and the courts refusal to
ton for the Supreme Court. The plain
tin In the County Court recovered judg-
ment for N1750 and costs. The defendant
filed motion in arrest of the judgment
which the court overrued and to which
the defendant excepted Brown for the
plaintiff. Wilds for the defendant.

amount of money due on notes made by
the deceased. 1t Is claimed by the appel
liant that the plaintiff who is Henry s.
White Is barred from a recovery on the
notes by distribution of the property
having been made. 1t Is also claimed that
the plaintiff well knew of the intentions
or deceased and only now brings this ac-
ton because he desires to take an undue
advantage. William p. Dillingham; was
appointed referee to hear and report the
iacts or the case, and upon his report
Judgment was rendered for the amount re-
ported TO be due. The appellant excepted
10 the report, and the exceptions were
overruled and to this ruling of the court
the appellant also excepted this forming
the question for the Supreme Court Rob
erts and Roberts for the estate, Hard and

When fish creep over dry lana,
And mules on vclocipede- ride:
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,

Lumber for the Fumes

The contract for the lumber for the
fumes of the big irrigation ditch
has been let to Mr.. Porter, of
ff1s city. cIhs lumber will come
from the big mills on the sound as the
amount, $1,000, 900 feet, is so large that

upon the ground within ten days and
active work will begin on that branch
of the enterprise IN II few days there
after.

for the grading is upon the ground. He
has a force of men and teams of his

about $500 day for man and team,
and about Sl.75 for common laborers.
Out of these wages the men will have
to pay board. The grading will begin
early next week.

n France. It is understood that Presi-
dent Faure is to be publicly hooted and
insulted at Ambrose, where he goes to
unveii the statue of deceased Senator,
who was originally mixed up with the
peccadillos of Eaure's wife's father. This
personal element OF scandal is the pretext
for the hostile demonstrations, but, in
reality, if it comes off, it will be every
where understood as aimed, not at Faure
so much as at his office.
Overshadowed as it is by the Russian
festival, the death of the immediate heir
to the Austrian crown has hardly been
noticed, but it is an event of grave mo-
ment none the less. Charles Louis him
self was of no special Importance, but his
disappearance brings up to and upon the
steps OF the throne two sons who are
loathed and despised all over the empire.
Neither of them could keep his place as
Emperor for year without civil war.
Indeed, 1t begins to be taken for granted
that no possible heir can keep the Aus
trian empire from smashing up when
Francis Joseph dies, Most of the men of
affairs whom know have for years back
been saying that general European war
might not come before his death, but that
1t will be inevitable then, and naturally
the demise Of his youngest brother gives
fresh color to this gloomy prediction. The
Emperor himself is said to quite accept
this view, and to know very well that after
him comes the deluge.
