Windham County Court.

In guardianship of Obed Hall. This
was an appeal from the action of the pro-
bate court for the district of Marlboro in
appointing guardian for Obed Hall of
Newfane
1t seems that Hall. who is now 76 years
old, has been a resident OF Newfane for
some IS yeas Shortly after coming to
town he fell from a load of hay receiving in
juries which made him a cripple tor life.
For the past eight years he has been sup
ported by the town. In Nav 1897, his
son. William c Hall, died leaving his
father a certain amount of life insurance.
The Newfane authorities, wishing some
guaranty that this money would be used
for the support of said Obed, petition ID
the probate court for the appointment of a
guardian to look after it. The court
granted the petition, appointing III. nj.
Hescock of Ne~fane as such guardian and
Hall took an appeal. The town intro
duced testimony tending to show that Hall
was not only physically disabled but was
unsound mentally to the extent that he was
not capable OF taking care of property.

Grant and Mrs. Newton.

Summer Hill, close to Studley, Va,
is very interesting place, built over
100 years ago, and was the arena of
much active warfare about the year
1862. Mrs. Newton resides there, the
widow of Captain William B. Newton,
scholarly gentleman and brave COM
mander of cavalry in General Fitz- Hugh
Lees brigade, who was killed at the
battle of Culpeper Courthouse. Summer
Hill was taken for headquarters by
General Grant, and there he held a
council of war with General Hancock
and General MCDOWELL General Grant
told Mrs. Newton he was expecting an
attack, and that battle would be fought
under her very rooftree and added:
81 advise you strongly, madam, to go
over into King William county with
your little children. will be glad t,

She answered: "No | prefer to stay
here. This old home is all | have left,
and if it's fate is to fall down it will
have to fall on my head can put the
children down in the potato cellar, and,
general if you should get scared when
the firing begins you can go down there

General Grant laughed heartily and
said: 'Have your own way, madam.
You are brave enough" After the war
was over he inquired very particularly
of her and expressed the hope that she
came out all right. Transcript.

For the Relief Of the Cubsns.

The pitiable condition of the starving re-
concentrates in Cuba has appealed irrissti-
bly, to all classes OF people and excited to
benevolent deeds even those whose scope
of charitable enleavors rarely reaches out
side their own dooryard fences.
For some Tina there has been feeling
that Bellows Falls, ons of the most pros
porous villages in the state, and one whose
business interests lave not been seriously
affected by the hard times, should share in
this work with other Vermont towns, many
of which are but just recovering from Sc.
we're financial distress, but which have,
nevertheless, contributed large sums o.
monay for the relief Of the Cubans. 1t is
the poor, they say, who help the poor. and
those who have suffered the pangs of hun.
ger themselves seldom turn a deaf ear tc
the cry OF the destitute.
A movement is now on foot to interest
the people of this village in a scheme to
raise funds for the Cuban Relief. The la
dies auxiliary of the Y. M. G. A which il
a repres entative BODY, will make the initia
move that the matter may be brought more
quickly to the attention of the community
generally.
1t is hoped that the churches will unite
in the work and that a showing worthy o
Bellows Falls will be made. Not only il
money wanted, but food and clothing al
we'll, for which free transportation is fur
nished by the steamboat lines at least
Particulars of what the ladies purpose to
do in this matter will be given in Saturday

Not So Green.

The up town bound cable car appar1
emily was in the hands of a green mo-
torman. At least that was the way the
crowd of passengers accepted it when,
after each stop, it started up again with
a violent jerk, which threw big men
around like skittles. Straps were of no
value.
At Prince street little old man got
on and made his way to about the mid
die of the Car, He lost something of his
mildness Of expression when he was
thrown suddenly and forcibly against a
young woman, knocking off her hat,
but he said nothing. Next big man
made parabolic swing, landed and
nearly knocked him through the win
dow. Then the face of the little man
grew very red. He pushed his way to
the front door and, shaking his finger
in the motorman s surly visage, threat
ened to throw him off the car and run
the thing himself. The motorman
"sassed" back, but the excited little
passenger talked fast and dared him
do it again. Then he shut the door q
waited, and every one held his brln
