the goods; now if the firm Hammond
& Buck bought these goods knowing
that they were insolvent and with no
idea of paying for them then the
plaintiff should recover.
If the financial condition Of their
firm was misrepresented and the jury
were satisfied that Mr.. Buck made
the statement that the firm was in
as good condition as in 1898, knowing
the statement to be false, then the
plaintiff should recover, but if they
were satisfied that such a statement
was not made then verdict should
be rendered for the defendant. The
Judge said that the defendant was not
obliged to make statement as to
their condition, but if such a state
ment was made full and complete
statement must be made.
The jury were out about an hour.
They returned the verdict of guilty,
and that Cushing Olmstead & Snow
should recover one cent damage and
costs.
This was a case of replevin and not
damage and the verdict was decidedly
for the plaintiff.
Many exceptions were taken and
the case will probably be appealed to
the Supreme Court.

tween e. E. Welch and @. E. Miller,

THE COLLECTORSHIP.

The Burlington Daily NeaUs, which
has championed the cause of Hon.
Olin NJ Merrill for the Office of col
lector of Vermont, pays a deserved
tribute to Mr.. Merrill's ability in the
following:
"He combines in an unusual degree
the successful business man and the
broad man of affairs. He is man of
marked executive ability, of sound
common sense, of rugged integrity
and fearless independence. His friends
are legion, his enemies are none. He
is a worthy representative of the
younger and progressive element of
the party. AS representative of his
town in the General Assembly and as
Senator from his county and as chair
man of the railroad commission he
has shown his worth as a faithful pub
lie serv ant.
His party services, not less disin-
terested than distinguished, are re-
cognized on every hand. His unani-
nous election as chairman of the Re-
publican State committee four years
ago, after twelve years of service up
on the committee, was not of his own
choosing, and he reluctantly accept
ed the duties and responsibilities of
the position at the urgent request of
the party leaders, who desired the
benefit of his ability and experience
in the then approaching campaign, as
well as in the succeeding campaign,
the one which has just closed. In both
of these campaigns Mr.. Merrill more
than fulfilled their expectations. The
election of Gov. Woodbury., by an un-
precedented Republican vote, as well
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1897-02-08

as Republican majority, for an off
year, was in no small degree due to
his painstaking though far from os-
tentatious method of organization.
The condition of things in republic
can camp, at the opening Of the pres
idential campaign last July, is still
fresh in the minds of all. Disappoint-
ment and disaffection at the result of
the most remarkable canvas for the
gubernatiorial nomination in the his
tory of the party, still ranked in the
breast of many. The political prophet
was foretelling, with much show of
reason, republican majority of less
than 1000. It was limited, not with
out reason, that the farmers, suffer
ing from continuous hard times,
would vote for free silver. The issues
thrust upon us by the Chicago con-
vention were not such as the local
campaign speakers could handle pop
ularly and effectively without much
careful preparation. The National
Bureau of speakers was not yet or
ganized and therefore could lend no
assistance. With all these and many
more difficulties before him, Mr.. Mer-
rill set out to re-organiZe the party
and lead it to victory; and it is no dis
para cement of the important service
rendered by the rank and file of the
party by the sound money democrats
and by the republican press of the
State, to say that Chairman Merrill
deserved all the praise that was free
~ showered upon him at home and
abroad when the extent of the victory
was made known.

Seeing and Relieving.

1T is an old and "A wise saying that "see.
ing is believing" yet everybody knows
that very often what we see and therefore
believe proves to be not really true at all.
AS we grow Older finding that our eyes
have so frequently deceived us, we are of
ten not satisfied with the evidence they
give us until we have verified it by touch
or smell or hearing or taste or by looking
at some doubtful thing from different
points of view or under different light
ing.
We are not willing to believe that a con
jurer actually draws rabbits from a man S
ear or coins from the tip of his nose lust
because our eyes tell us such tales. Some
times our receptions are so lasting that
things must be made wrong in order to
look right, which seems rather contradic-
tory. If we look at the letter 5 or the fig
ure as carefully as we can, the upper and
lower halves seem to be almost exactly
the same size, If we turn them upside
down, thus, S, s, the difference in the size
of the loops is quito astonishing, and
we wonder how we could have been so
mistaken. Yet perhaps the truth is that
the loops are neither so different nor so
much alike rs they seem to be, as we see
when we look at them turned upon their
sides, thus, %, 60 Harold Wilson, NJ. d..

DON'TS FOR WHEELWOMEN
Don't Mear black boots.

Don't wear skirt that shows more
than eight inches Of your boot.
Don't borrow pump of a man you
do not know and forget to return it.
Don't allow your escort to ride in
side, nearest the sidewalk. That is your
place.
Don't try to raise your hat to an ac-
quaintance because you happen to be
wearing derby or an alpine.
Don't stand in the middle of the
road to fix your lantern or pump your
tire, so that every other rider will have
to make wide detour to pass you.
Don't keep on ringing your bell when
you see that the driver of a horse is
turning out to make room for you. The
jangle OF the bell may brighten the
horse and is sure to annoy the driver.
Don't hesitate to accept assistance
from man i'll case you are in trouble
with your wheel. That is an occasion

Women Cyclists In Germany.

The lot of n German woman cyclist is
not happy one. Before she can ride
in the streets she has to give an exhibit
ton of her skill and prove her ability
to the satisfaction of the police author
tiles. Having passed the test, she re-
ceives an official document which de-
clares her to be the rightful owner of
the bicycle. This document must be
carried with her whenever she goes out
riding and produced when called for
by the police. No wonder German girls
prefer any other recreation to bicycling.
