the reduction Of the verdict, as made
by the law court. TO $3.50, and the sum
Of $3.50 Is agreed upon as costs.
The petition of the trustees OF the
South Paris Savings Bank for scale
down Of It's deposits Is set for hear
ing at 10 o'clock, A. NJ, Wednesday, &C.
cording to notice published elsewhere,
and as a large portion OF the people of
Paris are directly interested in the affairs
OF the bank, there Is likely TO be large
attendance.
In the Lowell road case, appealed from
the decision OF the county commissioners,
the committee Of reference makes re-
port sustaining the decision Of the CON-
The commissioners located
the road ~ prayed for, and this appeal
was taken by the opponents OF the road.
The committee Of reference was Hon.
Geo. d. Bisbee OF Rumford Falls, Hon.
J. NJ. Libby Of Mechanic Falls, and
John b. Robinson, Esq OF Oxford.
In the case Of the Dunu's Notch road,
in Grafton, Upton and Andover, the de-
clsion OF the county commissioners IL
reversed. This road was located By the
and this appeal was
taken. The committee Of reference was
Hon. A. s. kimball Of Norway, Hon. j.
c. Holman OF FsrmiDgtoD, and Hon.
Seth Chandler OF Lewiston. Their report,
reversing the commissioners decision,
will prevent the road from being built.
A report il made at this term OH the
cases connected with the Cushmsn es-
tate. These suits were brought by the
executors Of the will OF the late VIM. +.
Cu.hmsn against J. F. McArdle, c. f..
McArdle, VIM. c, McArdle, Miss Lillian
Ray. and Benj imin SWEET, treasurer OF
the South Paris Methodist church, TO
recover certain securities delivered by
Mr.. Cushman In his lifetime to the sev-
eral defendants. The claims OF the
parties were noted 10 the Democrat at
the time OF the hearing. The cases were
referred 10 Judge Walton and Judge
Foster, no gave a hearing few weeks
since. They report judgment for de-
feudants. with no costs for either party.
That l.. the property In controversy IL
decided TO De the property OF the several
defendants, while all parties have TO
stand whatever expense they have been
to 10 the matter.
The sheriifs In attendance at this term
are Sheriff Porter and Deputies Parker,
Flint and Cross. and they are a good
solid lot Of officers. Sheriff Porter,
though not diversified, Is far from being
lightweight. His hand has the grip
of wise, and the people Of Oxford
County we'll know that when he sets
out TO do q thing, Il takes more than
sn ordinary man TO turn him from
his purpose. Deputy Sheriff Edgar
l.. Flint OF East Hiram, who Is In charge
Of the grand jury, has something OF the
form and avourdupois Of Gen. Shsfter,
aud looks like a hard man to get by.
James X. Tucker of West Paris, who
was last month elected sheriff OF Oxford
County for the ensuing two years, has
the frame Of a giant, with the mildness
OF manner of a dove. IL he ever got
''rattled," the instance is not on public
record. IL he Is not, as sheriff, a terror
TO evil doors, the Democrat and other
friends will be disappointed in him.
Deputy Thaddeus Cross Of Norway Is OF
slenderer build than the other officers,
but he makes up in agility OF movement,
prOmptness, and military bearing, what
be does not possess In breadth Of body.
Visitors to the Portland Union sta.
ton in the vicinity of the noon hour ant
also in the neighborhoOd OF q o'clock
have been accustomed to the presence
of middle aged lady in steel gray
dress, with tao kindly eyes that lOOl
out from gold-bowed spectacles. Twice
day, with the regularity Of clock
work, this same woman visits the
Union station. Some people think she
is a female detective, some "new
woman" drummer, and others an officia
OF the railroad system. But she Il
none OF these. She Is an angel Of mercy
and her name Is Miss 4. G. Hussey
She IL one Of the trusted lieutenants Of
