Rev. W. Il. Peterson and the customary

In the afternoon the grand and petit
Jurors were sworn. Judge Starts charge
to the grand jurors seemed to us to give
the panel as plain conceptions of the
nature and importance of their work and
obligations as any we have ever listened
to. At the conclusion of the charge W.
II. Bishop of Island Pond was named as
foreman by the court. They reported
three true bills and two not found.
A call of the docket disclosed some 80
cases on the law docket and half.dozen
foreclosures on the chancery. The only
contested case on the latter is that of
Howe VS.. Howe. OF the cases on the
law docket II were disposed of.
The case of Edward r. Munce VS.. John

action on the case in which the plaintiff
claimed that the defendant owned and

Indifferent towards making this special
crime odious, be it,

deavor to instlll proper regard for
