Supreme Court Decisions.

The Supreme Court met last Thursday in
the court room at the State House to render
decisions on cases heard at the May term.
With the exception Of Judge Taft the full
bench was present.
Decisions were handed down in only two
cases OF general interest throughout the
State. In State against William W. Law
renee, convicted in Windsor county court
of an assault with intent to kill and murder
Judge Seaver of Woodstock, exceptions
were overruled and the respondent was
sentenced by Judge Thompson to sixteen
years at hard labor in the State prison at
Windsor. Hon. Frank Plumley, his coun-
sci, made strong plea for a light sentence,
and States Attorney Harvey of Windsor
county argued that the case presented no
extenuating circumstances. The respond
emit also spoke briefly in his own behalf,
charging the States attorney with corrup-
ton and dishonesty. The maximum pen
atty for the offence is twenty years.
A decision was rendered by Chief Justice
Ross in the case of State against Will N,
Theriault, from Washington county. This
case was brought to test the constitutional
ity of section 1868 Of the Vermont statutes,
which specifies that the fish and game CON-
missioners have the right to stock a brook
and prohibit fishing therein for period of
three years. Theriault was sent year ago
to fish on a brook in Middlesex, posted by
the State, and in Montpelier city court was
convicted Of violation Of law. Judge
Ross and majority Of the bench uphold
the decision Of the city court. and declare
the law constitutional. Judge Thompson
dissented and gave his reasons therefor in q
very forcible manner.

many kinds OF salve, but some would
irritate the sore so that l could hardly
stand the pain. could not go near the
fire without suffering intensely. Some one
sent me papers containing testimonials OF

my husband would like to try this med
icine. He got me bottle and l found 1t

Shuin Ching Fee China, have been at
tackled by rioters, and Yuen-Chong and adj
jacent cities are much disturbed. A French
priest has been captured by brigands, and a
ransom Of 10000 taels is demanded for his
release. Several natives have been killed
and much property has been destroyed.
The situation is critical. The Consuls at
Chung Khing are on the alert. Chung
Khing is quiet.
THE Nouoe Vremyd, one of the leading or.
gans at st. Petersburg says that the Span
ish-American war Is virtually over and that
it is time for Russia to declare her policy
regarding the Philippines. 1t adds that
Russia has no positive interests there, but
if the islands are divided, the best parts Of
them will fall to Germany, Great Britain,
and Japan. Such division would not be
to Russia's advantage. She would prefer
that Spain remain in possession of the
islands, under the protection OF the United
States who would exclude all other claim
ants.
THE rebellion in China is spreading and
has already assumed serious proportions.
Several secret societies are concerned in the
movement and over 5000 men are gathered
at WI Chun and defying the authority Of
the governor. The soldiers in that vicinity
sympathiZe with the rebels. A special de-
spatch last Thursday from Shanghai says.
",The leaders Of the rebellion in the west
river region are men who recently returned
from America. 1t is believed that the ris-
ing is a revival of the TAPPING movement, as
the rebels carry TAPPING banners"
The state department at Washington has
been notified that the Italian government
has determined to adopt force in securing
the payment, by the republic of Colombia,
OF the arbitration award made by President
Cleveland in favor OF Ernesto Cerruti, an
Italian citizen. amounting TO $3.50, 900. To
this end the Italian government has sum-
marily closed diplomatic negotiations with
the Colombian minister at Rome and has
notified Admiral Candiani to proceed with
the italian squadron to Cartagens, Colon
bia, and there adopt forcible means to col
lect the amount.

BattIeships and Cruisers.

"Say, pa" asked little Willie Spriggs,
"what's the difference between battle
ships and cruisers, anyway? They
look about alike in all the pictures that
l have ever SEEM"
"Poohl" Mr.. Spriggs calculated
"Don't you know the difference between
cruiser and battleship?"
"No, and amt seen anybody that
does, either" the boy replied.
"They must be crazy, them" said
Willie's pa. "Why, the papers have
told the difference dozens and dozens
of times. Cruisers are named after
towns and battleships are named after
states. Any fool ought to know that
by this time" -Cleveland Leader.
