Goshen Justice.

The trial of Alexander Brequet. Mar tin Martin, John Mahoney, Edward Brequet and John Osborn, all of Gosh en, resulted in farce. The case was brought to trial at Goshen last week Wednesday before Justice Carpenter, of Torrington. The prisoners were accus- ed of having assaulted Mir and Mrs Claude Demingway at Goshen some days previous. W. A. Roraback. of Torrington prosecuted and l.. J. Nick erson, of West Cornwall, appeared for the defense. Mir Nickerson called at- tention to the fact that the prisoners had first been put to plea before Justice Humphrey, of Goshen; that he had de- clined to have anything more to do with the case and that then Justice Car penter had assumed jurisdiction. MT Nickerson argued that Justice Hum. phrey had lost jurisdiction by abandon ing the case and that Justice Carpenter could not take jurisdiction, and cited supreme court decision in support of this position. Justice Carpenter ruled against Mir Nickerson, but nevertheless the learned counsel advised his clients to leave the court room, which they promptly did in spite of the protesta- tions of the justice, who called on some officer to stop them. Strange to say there was no officer present as the law requires there should be. The justice then adjourned court for an hour and when the time was up, as the prisoners did not appear, called the bonds. Alex ander Brequet was pondsman for all the prisoners in the sum of $500. Lawyer Roraback then prepared fresh complaint, but Grand Juror Whiting would not sign it and there the matter rests, except that, to put the final touch on this interesting legal incident, some citizens of Goshen notified the old couple to leave town, which they did day or two afterward, going to Torring- ton.
 It is & fact, however, and it throws some light on the matter, that the peo- pie of Goshen do not regard the aged couple as their most valued inhabitants, because they have. it is said, made themselves nuisance for long time by selling cider without license.

The New York Herald says 8 man is locked up in Ludlow street jail, with three months imprisonment before him, because he cannot pay a debt of $2. And he has wife and six children. If that man isn't an Anarchist when he leaves jail it will be strange indeed. ....

If the cane crop is to be 8 success this year. frost should not visit Louisiana for month. If the yellow fever scourge is to be checked and the sugar planters are to secure plenty of hands cut the cane, frost should come imme- diately.-New Haven Palladium.

A NEW HANDSPRING.

A New Waterbury Movement Discov-
 cred by an Employe of Watch Fac-
 tory in Connecticut.
 When Charles V retired to a Monas- tery, worn out with internecine strife in his kingdom, he busied himself with trying to make twelve watches keep &C., curate time. This was long before the complicated machinery now in existence for manufacturing was ever thought of. It was in the days of manual labor when the most intricate mechanism was hn- ished by hand. Failing in bis object after months of patient toiling, he gave up in disgust, and exclaimed, What fool l have been, trying to make my subjects all think alike, when I am un- able to make 12 watches keep the same time. There IS no doubt about the difficulty of making men intellectually go off on the same hair trigger princi- pie. and to expect to whip them all in to line physically, is simply an impossi- bility. They are very much like watches. Some run along for years and keep their health. Some are in the do- mestic repair shop several times year, and some are often in the big pawn shops of human life. the general or pri- va.e hospitals. They are subject to oli- matlc changes. An unseen microbe is often more disastrous to the constitu- tion than microscopical dust to watch. Did you ever see novice trying to set a watch, that has stopped, goiug again? Did you ever see a man laid up with backache trying to tinker himself back into good health? Did you ever try to catch an eel in bag of snakes? You might get it, but the chances are 100 to l. This is so with kidney disorders Tinkering. patching, mending and piecing are useless, A waste of time. Get down to causes. Even if you only dislodge the enemy and force a retreat, you know how to attack him when he again becomes aggressive. It's no sign that watch even guaranteed won't go wrong again. Thomas Gillern, of No. 446 Main St., Waterbury, Conn, like some of the watches that have passed through hls fingers, last time, so to speak, and required cleaning and ad- justing. Thomas probably reasoned that an unsound man was similar to an unreliable me-piece. and he took him. self to the repairer. He says: Sit ting at my work all day is very tiresome and hard on the back. Mine ached so that I could not sleep at night, in fact, l could not lie on my back at all. A dark red sediment in the urine showed the kidneys were not working properly l heard of Doan's Kidney Pills and got box at drug store. I took them and they cured me. I am recommending them to my friends"
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers, price 50 cents. Mailed by Foster Milburn Co. Buffalo N. T., sole agents for the United States.

w. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, H., "Chief," says: I've won't keep house without Dr Kings New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds. Ex- perimented with many others, but used Dr Kings New Discovery. No other remedy can take it's place in our home, as in it we have a certain and sure cure for coughs, colds, whooping cough, etc." It is idle to experiment with other remedies. even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr Kings New Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures and besides is guaran- teed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at W. H. Camps drug store.
