4 kENNEBEC CASE.
Rescript From The Law Court That Will Be OF
Interest IN Kennebec.

The following rescript has been handed
down by the Law Court:
kennebec. IS.
Charles Ward VS.. s. D. Blaisder.
Rescript.
This is an action on promissory note
given by the defendant to the plaintiff.
The defendant interposed three grounds
of defence. namely:
l. That a part of the consideration OF
the note was for intoxicating liquors sold
by the plaintiff to the defendant in vio-
.. That part of the consideration OF
the note was soda fountain sold to the
defendant to the plaintiff to which the
plaintiff had. at the time of such sale. no
title
). That the PLAINTIFF has realized from
a foreclosure OF mortgage of certain
chattels given to secure the note an
amount sufficient to satisfy the note.
The jury returned a verdict for the de-
PENDANT and found specially under the d.
rection of the court that the soda foun-
tain was included in the sale from the
plaintiff TO the defendant for which the
note in suit was given in part payment,
and that Intoxicating liquors We're includ-
ed in said sale for which the note was
given in part payment with knowledge OF
the plaintiff.
The plaintiff moves that the verdict be
set aside as against evidence and the
weight of evidence
The Issues involved the trial were
purely of fact. The case was submitted
to the jrry under proper instructions. no
exceptions being taken to the rulings or
instructions of the presiding judge. The
parently irreconcilable.
The jury saw the witnesses and had OPP
portunity to observe their appearance and
manner Of testifying.
An examination of the whole testimony
fails to convince the court that the YER
dict is so manifestly wrong that 1t ought
to he set aside.
Motion overruled.
Judgement on the verdict.

OSTRICH RAISING.
Interesting Visit TO an Ostrich Farm BY q
Augusta Lady.

Mrs, Herbert p. DOane, daughter o,
Mr.. and Mrs. Melville Smith, OF this
city, who is visiting her parents here.
in company with her husband. who Is
an insurance surveyor, has been travel
ling extensively in differents parts of
the country. Among the places which
she visited was Jacksonville, Fla,
where she saw the large ostrich farm
located there. But few people are
aware Of the fact that the raising of
Ostriches for their plumes has become
a thriving industry at that place. The
farm visited by Mrs. Doane is located
just outside the city. 1t has branches
at Palm Grove, Fla. and at Saratoga,
N Y. At the present time there are
about 200 birds located at Jacksonville.
Among these is the great racer, Oliver
W., which holds record that would
make Joe Patchen blush with shame as
1t is said that he can outrun the
swiftest horse that stands. These
birds are very ferOciOus, yet it said
that they are MORALLY afraid of a FOX
terrier, probably on account Of its
diminutive size and alertness. They
are worse kickers than the most ex-
party is out of power. Their kicks.
too, is very dangerous. 1t is said.
however, that when one is blinded by
means of hood thrown over it's head.
it becomes very docile and can be east
ly handled. In their family life they
set an example from which human be-
ings could we'll profit. as it is said that
when once mate is selected they
never afterwards choose another. al
though one dies and the other lives to
the age commonly allotted to the os-
trich family which is about 40 years.
They range in height from seven 10
ten feet and are very valuable. The
young sell for about 5000 while the full
grown bird ranges from $500 to $1,000
in value The plumes for which they
are raised are removed three times in
two years. This is done by cutting OFF
the shaft of the feather a short dis
lance from the body. thus causing the
bird no pain.
