asked Judge Prentice for an order to
sell at private sale a judgment of S25OJ
| obtained in the superior court a year
ago, as receiver of the Connecticut Pipe
Manufacturing company against j. r.,
Easterbrook. Judge Hobart l.. Hotch-
kiss objected to the granting of the
motion. The court refused to order q
sale at auction and accepted Mr.. Rus
sells report as receiver. The report
shows that Mr. Russell handled $19082,

tors $4,000, or about 2S per cent. of the
claims Mr.. Russell was allowed $1S00
for services as receiver.
Attorney Goodhart, who appears for

ser and asks for heavy damages.
Judge Prentice entered an order de-
claring null and void the marriage Of
Antonio Mosca and Amelia opposite,
which was solemnzed two years ago by
a justice of the peace.
Lawyer Tyner, who appeared for
Amelia, proved to the court that at the
time of her marriage she was but six
teen years of age, that the ceremony
was performed without the knowledge
of the girls parents, and that she had
no proper conception of the contract she
was performing. The parties never llv-
cd together as man and wife.
The bond of w. A. Spaulding, the re-
eeiver of the Fl. w, Stowe Lumber
company was reduced yesterday by

THE ROCK-A-BYE BOAT.

There's a boat that leaves at half-past six
From the busy port Of Play
And II reaches the haven OF Sunderland
Before the close of day.
II carries the tiniest passengers.
And II rocks 50 gently on
When the wee ones nestle In their berths,
And the boatman begins 10 row!
The whistle sounds so low and sweet
Like a mothers lullaby.
That the travellers smile and close their eyes,
To dream OF angels nigh.
Sometimes the travellers tarry too long
In the busy port Of Play.
And the anxious boatman coaXes and calls,
And grieves at their delay.
But at last they come TO the rocking boat,
Which bears them down the stream,
And drifts them TO the Sunderland.
To rest. and sleep. and dream
The name OF the boat Is Rock-a-Bye.
And its guided by mothers hand.
For she is the patient bOatman, dear,
Who takes you TO Sunderland.
Now what is the fare A traveller pays
On a Rock-a-bye boat like this?
Why the poorest child can afford the price,
For It's only goodnight kiss.
