COUNTY COURT.

The last case for the jury in county
court went to them Tuesday after
noon. This was the case of A. s.
Blanchard VS.. E. P. Currie, in which
the action brought was trespass. The
substance of the case was as follows:
Blanchard kept what is known as
cline house, at Richford, VT; the
house being partly in Vermont and
partly in Canada. Tt appeared from
evidence that the house was run
entirely for the purpose of vice, and
that the authorities of both Vermont
and Canada had frequently tried to
capture Blanchard for violating the
law. 1t appeared that Blanchard vio-
lated the law governing the sale of
spirituous liquors. on both sides of the
sort for low women.
The plaintiff claimed that at GER
tain time officers of the Canadian
government came to arrest him; that
they found him on the Vermont side
Of his house, that he went out of his
house to go away and while on the
Vermont side of the line was seized
by the Canadian officers and dragged
across the line into Canada, there ar
rested, taken to Sherbrooke, fined
500. 90 and costs and lodged in Sweets
burgh jail. The plaintiff further
claimed that the defendant, Currie,
was one of the officers who, contrary to
the plaintiffs wishes, assisted him into
Canada, whereby he had suffered a
fine and imprisonment, on account of
which damage the suit was brought.
The evidence of the defendant was
to the effect that the plaintiff was not
abducted and taken to Canada, but
that If he was the defendant did not
as sist in the laudable undertaking.
The evidence was rather strong in
favor of the plaintiff, but the jury
evidently on general principles
thought the plaintiff ought not to re-
cover and accordingly returned YER
dict for the defendant to recover his
costs. This being the last jury case
the jury were then discharged for the
term. Counsel in the above case were
F. S. Rogers and ]. w. Redmond for
the plaintiff and H. E. Rustedt and
John Young for defendant.
The remainder of the work for the
court was mostly in the divorceline
and was as follows: Matte Bell Wy
man VS.. VIM. Fl. Wyman, bill granted
for intolerable severity. Mary ]. Ma
son VS.. H. II. Mason, bill granted for
willful desertion. @. @. Waller VS..
Bertha L. Waller, bill granted for in
tolerable severity. Mary E. Bronson
VS.. Edward Bronson, bill granted for
intolerable severity. Flora r. Rice
VS.. Samuel F. Rice, bill granted for
refusal to support. Sophronia E. Pot
ter VS.. Clayton w. Potter, bill granted
for intolerable severity. Rosa Saw
yer VS.. Ferdinand Sawyer, bill granted
for refusal to support. In all ten di
vorces were granted during the term.
Court closed Thursday noon after a
were tried, only one case was in shape
for trial; that of State VS.. Malcolm
Bronson for assault. Bronson plead
guilty and was sentenced to the work
house for six months. Nothing was
left standing on the criminal docket
except State VS.. Scott, and in this
case the information was not filed I'M
til after the jury were dismissed. The
term was very pleasant one to the
members Of the bar, being made more
so on account of the fair minded and
genial presiding judge.

VERGENNES BANK WRECKED.

Vergennes is again a storm center
for excitement. The Farmers Ma
tional bank of that city went into the
hands of receiver April 18th. There
was shortage in the accounts of the
cashier, D. Fl. Lewis, of from $75, 900
to 500, 000
National Bank Examiner Frank l..
Fish closed a two days. examination
of this bank on the Sd. He found
deficiency in the cash and so reported
to Washington. The comptroller of
of the currency Immediately ordered
Special Bank Examiner John B. Cum
ningham of Boston to make a special
examination of the bank. The COM
troller of the currency at Washington,
when informed of the condition of
affairs, ordered J. T. Sullivan of his
Office to come to Vergennes and act
as temporary receiver. Mr.. Sullivan
arrived there Saturday morning and
took full possession of the banks
affairs and closed it's doors at 4 o'clock
Saturday afternoon.
morning, but was a free man again
before night. He was arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner
George E. Johnson of Burlington in
his own apartments over the bank
about five o'clock in the afternoon
and, having waived examination was
bound over in the sum of 1926, 900 to
the United States grand jury, which
meets at Windsor, May 81.
The total shortage of the Farmers
National Bank is between $75, 900 and
500, 1000, although it will be long time
before the exact amount is known.
The $25, 900 turned over by the cashier
and the $4,000 worth of securities
found in the bank will reduce the
actual loss to between $4,000 and
100000. AS toe capital stock of the
bank is 100000, this means that the
depOsitors will be paid dollar for dol
lar, but that the stockholders will lose
practically all their holdings. To
many of the stockholders the failure
of the bank will mean utter ruin, as
the stock they hetd represented their
whole capital.
Mr.. Lewis was born at st. John, n.
B., in 1913. He came to Vergennes
in 1851, and went to work for Parker
& Booth, who kept a general store.
In 1864 he became teller of the Nation
al bank of Vergennes and in 1872 its
cashier. When the Farmers Nation
al bank was organized in 1880 he left
the Vergennes bank to become cash
Ter of the new bank. His stealings
are said by some to cover a period of
Is years. In 1898 he was prominent
candidate in the republican conven-
ton for state treasurer. He has rep
resented Vergennes in both branches
of the state legislature and has held
several important city offices.

Beyond stating that his visit has no

remarked with caution: We'll, even if

Selected II Herself.

A dutiful husband wished to give
his wife handsome lace scarf for a
birthday present, and, to make sure
of getting one to her liking, he asked
her to buy one herself on the pretense
that it was for lady friend of theirs.
The finest honiton, valenciennes and
brussels lace goods were spread out
on the counter, but madam thought to
herself:
"What is the use Of spending SO
much money on present for AmeliaY
So embroidered lace was shown next.
Even these were too dear. At length
she selected very plain and ordinary
scarf.
"Quite good enough, too. )" she said,
and took it home to her husband.
"Have you chosen something pref

"0h. yes; very pretty.

chosen for yourself?"
"The very thing"

husband, delighted with his little
scheme.

Are We Happier p

At the beginning Of the new GEN.
tury we all patted each other on the
back and talked big things about prog
ress and civilization. In our retro
spects we contrastcd the early years Of
the nineteenth century with its won
derful close. The discovery and de-
velopment of the powerof steam, with
all its attendant marvels, such as ma
chinery applied to manufacture and
the facility of communication, were
put down to our credit at tremendous
value, and still more the march Of
electricity as the worlds greatest force
was held to be the centurys glory
and the herald Of a civilization such
as the world has not yet seen. This
wonderful Development Of applied
science has brought many comforts
and many luxuries which our forefath-
ers did not enjoy. The astonishing
rate at which we can travel, the speed
with which thought from ones brain
may be communicated to the uttermost
parts of the earth, and the thousand
and one items which together form
what we call civilization seem to us,
now that we have known them, indis-
pensable. Yet, after all, are we as
individuals much the happier for these
luxuries-for luxuries they are, and
not necessities-has the world really
advanced in what is civilization in
the truest sense Of the word2

After the laughter had subsided
the judge said:

To hear as little as possible to the

To believe nothing of the kind till
I am absolutely forced to it.
Never to drink in the spirit Of ore

Always to believe-that if the other

The Little Hero Who Knew the Law.

1t was at Fifty-sixth street and
Vincennes avenue where the work of
excavating for a large fat building has
been in progress for some time. Frs-
quently the indignation Of the people
living near has been aroused by the
brutalities visited upon the horses at
work there.
The soil is of soft, sandy character,
and the wheels of the wagon sink
almost to the hubs under the weight
ofloads carried. The sand is dumped
on a vacant lot about one hundred
feet to the south of the place Of ex-
cavation, and the horses have suffered
more at this place than at the other,
as they are obliged to pull their loads
to the top of the soft mound.
The other day, after a wagon had
deposited its load, and for no other
reason save his own innate brutality,
the driver began brutally beating his
horses. Suddenly he was approached
by a boy of about ten years Of age,
who, with flashing eye and in peremp-
tory tone of voice, said:
"Stop whipping those horses If
you strike them again, will have you
arrested"
The driver for moment was too
astounded to reply, for the childs
earnest, determined manner impressed
even him then with an oath at the
child, he raised his whip again to strike
the horses.
Look out, said the fearless child,
as he stepped nearer. Il am member
Of the humane society, and if you
beat those horses any more, Ill cer'
tainly have you arrested"
The blow did not fall. The words
humane society" and the child's de-
termined manner arrested the uplifted
arm, but in moment the driver
whirled about on the boy, and swing
ing his whip in menacing manner
shouted, amid volley Of epithets di-
rected at the boy:
"Get out of here, you - little
whelp, or I'll wrap this whip around
you, and cut you in two.
"If you do, it will be the dearest
blow you ever struck" said the un-
finching child, "for I'll have you in
jail, where you belong,within an hour.
The moral force of the child trl-
umphed over the brutal instincts Of
the man. With a sullen oath, the
driver turned his attention to his
horses, but he did not beat them again.

Dining in China.

A writer in Blackwood says that
when the guests arrive at a Chinese

If the other man mears moustache,

is:

The table is already laid with an
imposing show. There is the regula-
ton number of regulation dishes, mar
shaled in regulation order; quaint
porcelain stands filled with slices Of
oranges, pears or cold goose towers

ed chicken breast saucers Of shrimps
saulted in their skins, and the famous
eggs, preserved for years in lime and
served, sliced, in beds Of brown jelly.
Hot wine of various brands is offered
Throughout, in small cups.
When all are seated and ready for
the fray, the host raises his cup and
says:
LET us drink"
The guests reply:
Thanks ! Thanks"
Then they fall to, with chop-'ticks,
picking now from one dish, now from
another, in piquant contrast Of sweet,
sour and salt.
