Campbell's Early Crane,


We have received from Geo. S. Josse-

Campbell's Early Grapes. In the note
that accompanied them Mr.. Josselyn
says: "These are from one-year old
vines planted in year 1895, so this is
the first year bearing. Old exhibitors
tell us they have never been able to
procure good clusters from frst-year
bearing vines. We think our clusters
nice, however, but no doubt shall get
larger next season." The grapes ar
rived in fine shape and showed no
marks Of their long journey, They GER,
tainly are good shippers. In quality
and size they are remarkable, and bid
fair to take leading place on the mar
ket. We have never seen more COM

appearances indicate that they are ex@

Earliness of the Dewberry.-T. H.
Bailey Of the Michigan Experiment
Station says: The one great merit Of
the dewberry is the earliness of the
fruit. The fruit is indistinguishable
from the blackberry by the general
public, and it is ten days and often two
weeks earlier than the standard varie-
ties of blackberries. "Dewberries, rasp-
berries and blackberries grow side by
side in our plantations, and we have
had, therefore, good opportunity to
observe the earliness of the Lucretia.
This year the first ripe raspberries-
Marlboro and Rancocas- obtained
July 4. At this time a few deWberries
were about fully grown and had turn
ed red. July few ripe dewberries
were secured. July II 'dewberries on

NOT JUSTIFIED.

Appellate Court Settles the Controversy
Betwe n the Parties.

The controversy between William NJ. Harris,
Jr., and William ID. Eaton, son Of Amasa NJ.
Eaton, Esq, over the killing Of a dog, has
been decided. The Appellate Court today
handed down decision in which the action
of the defendant in killing the plaintiff dog
Is hold not TO have been justified.
The opinion OF the court was written by
Mr.. Justice Rogers and is a careful statement
of the law in regard 10 trespass by dogs. The
Gofeniant set up in his defense that for more
than two years prior TO the time Of the kill
ing tho plaintiffs dog had been constantly
and repeatedly in the habit Of trospa,sing on
the close OF one, A. NJ. Eaton, and had there
chased and killed certain fowls and animals
and had been driven of of said close while
killing said fowls. ard at other times while
trespassing on said close. being fired at by
said a. NJ. Eaton or his servants At other
times the defendant requested the plaintiff TO
keep his dog chained. The gun was fired not
with the intention OF killing the dog, but Of
soaring 10 of, and only by chance did the shot
that killed the animal hit the animal because
Of whose death the action was brought
The court holds that the plea Of the defend
ant nowhere shows that the plaintiffs dog
when killed was worrying, wounding or kill
ingi any OF the animals men toned in chapter
3 of the General Laws. or that the defendant
had reasonable cause 70 believe that IL was
necessary to kill the dog IN order to protect
his property.
The demurrer OF the plea Is therefore sus-
tanned by the court and the caso sent back To
the Common Pleas Division OF the court. J.
W. Began was attorney for the plaintiff.
