A LOCAL JUSTICE CASE.


The case of Thomas Pullen vs. Var
ence Whiting was tried before Justice
Curtis B. Atwood at the court room in
Town hall, Tuesday, November 80 1t
appeared from the evidence that the
plaintiff, Thomas Pnllen, on May 10,
1897, rented several rooms to Whiting
in Pullen's house for which Whiting
agreed to pay $S per month. This
amount he paid up to September 10; at
that date his payments ceased besides
the rent, he sold to the defendant about
S. worth of hay. Pullep, to recover the
rent and price of the hay brought suit
to recover and attached horse which
Daniel Woodward had sold to the defen-
dant some time previously. The latte
had placed the horse In the care of one
Cromer, to be kept during the winter as
Whitney did not feel able to keep it in
officer attached the horse he was inform
ed by Cromer that the horse belonged to
Whiting. Daniel Woodward, however,
claims the horse, saying that Whiting
was to sell it for him. The latter how
ever had no writing whatever to prove
this. The horse is still in the hands of
the officers. After hearing the evidence
Justice Atwood decided in favor of the
plaintiff who was represented by Lawyer
Byrnes of Waterbury.

AGAINST UNNECESSARY SUNDAY LABOR.

! AGAINST UNNECESSARY SUNDAY LABOR
Reverend Brethren of Fairfield AS
ISOLATION, the Congregati onal church OF
Huntington, appeals to you for aid
against the demoralizing tendency and
Sa bbath desecration of the Sunday milk
TIRE ff1c. Our experience of many years
in a farming community, has demonstra-
ted the terrible evil, not only defying
Gods holy law, buF also the destruction
of the spiritual life of all those, who
engage in the Sunday trade; it hinders
and weakens the work of the church
and has bad ii fiueDce on the entire
community. This Sunday work is made
necessary to the producers, by the de-
mand of church members in our cities,
to be supplied with milk OF Sundays,
which demand we feel to be unreason-
able and unchristian aud we know to be
unnecessary in the present facilities to
preserve the supply; besides the cppor-
tunity to be supplied, Saturday. God
commands that our servants shall have
their Sabbath's rest, and the milk pro-
ducers are virtually and truly servants
of the milk Users. 1t does not suffice for
the man, to say that as church member
nv conscience condemns me for the
work, for | am in such sense the ser
want of the buyer, that | must meet the
demand for cities will step in and take
my place. Hence this Sunday trade takes
the church member from his church,
wounds his conscience aud kills ell spirit
al growth. We therefore pray you, dear
brethren, to lay this matter fully before
your congregations, not only showing
them how it violates Gods holy law, and
does injury to the farmers, who must
furnish the milk; but also has a very
hardening influence on the Christian con-
science of the buyers. We suggest that
the remedy for this evil, must be found
in Christian people refusing to buy milk
on the Sabbath, and then refusing to
patronize those who peddle on the Sab
bath. Dear brethren will you not give
US your aid in this humane and divine
need of our day. Come to the help Of
the Lord against the powers of the evil.
Thanking you in advance we remain
YOURS in the service of or Lord Jesus
Christ.
