/ The following article, taken from the
Utica On. Y Advocate, will be of in,
terest to many readers:
Hon. WATSON T. DUNMoRE. Very few
people imagine the immense amount of
work there is connected to the office of
County Judge, or how well versed in points
OF law an attorney must be to fill the Office
satisfactorily.
Judge DunmOre's supporters in the fall
of 1892 made no mistake when they select
ed him to represent them as Judge of Oneida
County, and that his supporters were many
was fully demonstrated by the large ma
jOrity he rect ived at the election. The great
men of our nation and the best officials
nave always been Selfmade men, such as
Judge DunmOre, He was born at Rush,
Susquehanna, County, Pa, March 28 1845.
His fathers name was Mathew Dunmore,
and his mothers maiden name Sarah James
His father was of Scotch descent and his
mother of Welsh parentage. He was left
an orphan when quite young and up to the
time he was twenty worked upon q farm.
He prepared for college at Wyoming Semi
nary, Kingston, Pa, and entered Wesleyan
University, at Middletown, Conn, in the
fall of 1868 in the Sophomore class, grad
uating three years later with high honors.
While pursuing his studies both at the SEM
mary and at the college he taught school
winters and worked on farm during his
vacations to help defray his expenses. At
ter graduation he was principal of Brad
ford Academy, at Bradford, VT. the graded
school at Susquehanna Depot, Pa, and was
superintendent Of schools at HOrneIlsville,
\. Y. During his spare time he read law
in the office of Ex-Governor Roswell Farm
ham, at Bradford, Vt, and was admitted
to the Vermont bar in 1874. During the
following year he pursued his studies at
the Hamilton College Law School, Clinton,
y. Y. and graduated from that institution
in June, 1915 He was admitted to the
New 1ork bar and located in this city in
the fail of 1876. In the fall of 1885 he was
elected Special County Judge of Oneida
County and reelected in the fall OF 1889.
In 1892 he was elected County Judge of this
county.
He is an uncOmmonly bright lawyer, and
his practice outside of the Judgeshipi is very
large. He has never been known to pic
ture out the bright side to client when he
was in the wrong for the sake of getting a
client Very few cases has he ever lost
when an impartial Judge and jury were be-
tore him. He is one of the best known
bench lawyers in the State and sound
counsel. He makes Judge that is far su-
perlOr to many of our Supreme Court
Judges, fully weighing every contested
point before giving a decision. Judge Dun
more is a courteous and agreeable citizen,
always among the foremost of those who
are endeaVOring to further the advance
menI of our city's welfare. He is friendly
to the working people and sympathizes
with them in their cause and ranks high in
the social ana financial circles of this city.

Sour

Stomach, sometimes called waterbrash,
and burning pain, distress, nausea,
dyspepsia, are cured by Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. This it accomplishes because
with its wonderful power as blood
purifier, Hoods Sarsaparilla gently
tones and strengthens the stomach and
digestive organs, invigorates the liver,
creates an appetite, gives refreshing
sleep, and raises the health tone. In
cases of dyspepsia and indigestion it

The Phoenix of last week publishes
in full the opinion of the supreme
court as prepared by Judge Rowell in
the somewhat noted case of the N E
front and Salmon Club of Brattleboro
against George Mather, The Club
bought the land around a pond III
Marlboro and assumed to control the
pond and forbid fishing therein. The
people of Marlboro were considerably
exercised at being shut out from wha,
they considered their inalienable right
of fishing in that pond. Mr.. Mathel
was sued by the club for trespass and
hence this opinion of the court. In
the county court judgment was for the
defendant but this opinion of the su
preme court leverses that decision and
remands the case for another trial un
der the construction of the law and
the constitution of the state given III
the opinion. The opinion in effect sus-
tains the right of private parties to
buy the land around pond of that
character and control the fishing there
In We are interested in this vicinity
because of the attempt of Mr.. Hough
ton few years ago to do the same by
Lake Morey. Judge Thompson read
opinion couched in his usu
al positive language. The dissenting
opinion will be more satisfactory to
the public.
