SUPERIOR COURT.
Before Judge Bonney.

Tuesday-John T. Inman & Co., of At
tleboro, Mass, wholesale manufacturing
jewellers, sued W. W. Mansfield & Co.,
of this city to recover a balance claimed
to be due them on account, amounting
to 1854. ~
The defendant claims that it was agreed
when he commenced to buy goods of the
plaintiffs that he should have the privi-
lege of returning all goods that proved to
be unstable, and that under that agree
ment he has returned goods amounting
to the sum sued for, which goods the
plaintiff refused to accept and they are
now in the hands of the express company.
The plaintiff says the agreement to
take back unstable goods only applied
to one order of ladies' belt buckles that
were sold late in the season; that all the
other goods were sold in the regular
course of trade, and that many of the
goods. sought to be returned were pur-
chased in the early fall, since which time
they have had settlement in full De-
cision reserved.
J. A. Locke for plaintiff
Lewis Pierce for defendant.
E. NJ. Steadman Co., wholesale
grocers of this city, brought suit against
Melvin Bigelow of St. Adams, to recover
a balance due on an account of goods
sold one W. A. Mountain, amounting TO
s54. SO. The plaintiffs claim that Biee-
low, who was formerly a salesman for
them, guaranteed the payment of the
account.
The defendant admits that he did guar
antee the payment of what goods he sold
Mountain, but that in this account upon
which there is claimed a balance are
goods sold to Mountain by the nlai,tifYs

SAFE BLOWN.
In the Office of the c. S. Bates & Co. Ice
Dealers.

The office of C.S. Bates & Co., ice deal
ers, was entered by burglars Monday
night. The office is small wooden build
ing, one storied, about 25 feet square and
seven or eight feet high, located beyond
the railroad tracks at the foot of Frank
lin street, on the shore of Back Cove.
Mr.. John Watson opens the ice house
IN the morning somewhere in the neigh
borhood of O'Clock. 1t is his duty to get
the ice wagons, horses, ETC., in readiness
for the days delivery Of ice. He found
the little office in a state of great confu-
sion yesterday morning. Entrance was
effected through the door, the lock be-
ing torn from place and the door more
or less battered The windows We're
broken and several panes of glass broken
out. The safe itself was thrown from the
blocks on which it rested and lay on its
side on the floor. Two holes were drilled,
one in the door directly over the lock and
another in the side.
There were three long scratches on the
door near the knob where the distance
had been carefully measured. This was
evidently where the first attempt was
made, which did not prove successful in
forcing the door. The next hole drilled
in the side went through not only the
safe, but the office ledger as well, the
explosion blackening and running it.
This explosion blew the door from the
hinges and demolished the safe beyond
repair.
The explosion burst the battery jar
in the telephone, Gripping that, blew
out the window panes, shattered sash
and tore up wood, work in the vicinity
more or less.
A piece of drill. four inches in len 9Th,
was found and two chisels which were
taken in hand by the police and which
came from Aliens, the stair builders,
nearby. These were the only traces of
themselves or their outfit the burglars
left behind.
The company estimates the loss any
where, from SIS to 500, exclusive of the
private papers and bank books which
while of no value to the thieves, are a
serious loss to the firm. The affair is in
the hands of the authorities.

A very pathetic story comes from
Australia describing a kangaroo's dar-

owner OF a country station was sitting
one evening on the balcony outside his
house when he was surprised to notice
a kangaroo lingering about. alternate

house, as though half in doubt and fear
what to do. At last she approached
the water pals, and. taking a young
one from her pouch, held IL to the wa

ering all over with excitement for she

sitting wsehing her. The little one.

the natural timidity Of the kangaroo
is taken into account. il will be recog-
nized what astonishing bravery this
