They are telling two good fishing
stories about some of Augustus we'll
known citizens. These yarns do not
record the luck had at lake or pond or
stream, but they do tell how uniucky
the parties were in making arrange
ments to go fishing. One of the par
ties is a barber and he dearly loves TO
drop his line in babbling brook or silent
pool. and pull forth speckled beauties,
every now and then. But the other day
he got his tackle together and walked
up to the east end of the dam for the
purpose of trying his luck at salmon.
When he got there and looked over his
kit he found he hadn't brought single
hook with him, He borrowed one from
a boy who was fishing there and cast
his line. The first thing he did was 70
catch the hook on some projection in
the bottom of the river and lost it. He
then came home, weary and disap-
pointed. The other tale relates to the
experiences of two gentlemen who
planned to leave the city. early Mon
day morning. for a fishing trip to Lib
erty pond. some % miles from here.
one of the parties owned a horse and
he promised to be around to his COM
panion's place of business ready for the
trip at the first dawn of day. He was
there bright and early, but he came in
VAIN, His comrade expected a man 20
come and do his work while he was
gone. but the man didn't show up. Al
last accounts both are waiting his re-
turn before they leave for Liberty.

AWFUL ULCERS
Facial Sores and BlOtcheS
a Sign of Blood Disease.
SuchV roubIes
Cured by vinoI.

The face that is blotched or covered
with unsightly pimples is not only
source of modification and annoyance
but is dangerous.
Where such condition exists there
must be something radically wrong.
When such eruptions become worse
and give place to ulcers the danger is, Of
course, enhanced. Ulcers frequently form
first on any of the great vital organs, es-
pecially the stomach.
Won't you, if you suffer from any such
blood impurities give US the opportunity
of telling you how you can get rid of such
ills safely and quickly. Our Vinol will
help you. y
This, we firmly believe, and the
reason for our belief is that we have
learned that Vinol in its mission Of
rebuilding the body and creating strength
does as much in the way of purifying the
blood as it does in creating new, healthy
flesh tissue. In making the body strong
and healthy it invigorates everyone of the
| great vital organs and enables them to
properly perform their work.
| Impurities OF the blood are thus more
quickly displaced by new health ele-
ments that are taken by the stomach
from the food which by means of Vinol
is fully assimilated.
IL wish to say few words in praise Of
Vinol. For over year l was severely
troubled with liberated stomach which
/ caused me much pain; for three months
/ could not eat any solid food. became
weak, tired and all run down and lost
much flesh. Hearing of the great merit
of Vinol, l bought a bottle, and after
giving it good trial, 1 feel better in
every way, and must give all the praise
! to Vinol." MARY E. BRYANT, q Prescott
Street, Mansfield, Ohio. 20
Remember our faith in virol is so
strong that we sell it on a guarantee
and will gladly refund to anyone the
cost of the remedy who is not salts.

beyond that of the general public, he
had Il right to abate the nuisance by
removing the obstruction so far as to
afford safe and convenient passage,
not only for pedestrians but for teams
and carriages to and from his premises.
But in the exercise of this right he was
undoubtedly under obligations to ac-
complish the result in such manner
as to cause no unnecessary damage to
the property of the plaintiff 1t is the
opinion of the Court, however, that un
der all the circumstances the triding
damage resulting to the plaintiffs
property from the acts of the defend
ant, ought not in justice to be deemed
unreasonable or unnecessary.

One of the recognized methods of es-
tablishing the existence of a highway
is by proof of a dedication and accept
ance. The dedication must be proved
by decisive and unequivocal acts and
declarations on the part of the owner
of the land, showing Il positive inten-
ton to set apart the land in question
for that specific public use. There
must also be unmistakable evidence
that such dedic2 ton has been accepted
by the public. 1t is not Indispensable,
however, that there should be any for
NAL act of acceptance by the public au-
thoritieS. 1t may be satisfactorily in
Dictated by the nature of the public
travel upon ii and the circumstances
connected with the subsequent use of
it,
Nor is the question of the acceptance
of a dedication to be determined by the
amount of travel upon the, way or the
extent of the use of it as PUBLIC high
way. If it has, in fact, been dedicated
to unrestricted public use, and is in

Leon NJ. Fobes VS.. z. Frank Little &
Charles Sargent.
Rcscript by Whitehouse, J.
The conduct of Sargent in furnishing
the monthly balances as he had been
accustomed to do when clerk for the
old firm, and his silence during the
conversation between the plaintiff and
Little, must be construed in connec-
ton with the other findings of fact re-
ported, that Sargent had never agreed
TO assume the liabilities Of the old
firm, and that the plaintiff had never
agreed to release Woodbury. from his
liability for the old debts. In the light
of these facts there seems to be moth
ing in the conversation between the
plaintiff and Little which would nee
essarily indicate to the mind OF Sargent
that Little was making an agreement
for the new firm to assume the old
firms liabilities, which were known to
exceed the assets by $500; nor did the
conversation between the plaintiff and
Little, and the silence OF Sargent
under these circumstances, justify the
plaintiff in assuming that Sargent as
scented to such n proposition. Further
more it not only does not appear that
the plaintiff released Woodbury., but it
also fails to appear that the plaintiff
was induced by Sargent's conduct to
change his position to his injury in any
respect. Sargent was therefore not
cstopped to deny his liability for the
firm.

THREE REScRIPTS.
More Decisions Handed Down by Jus.
tice Whitehouse.

The three following rescripts. two
being in Cumberland cases and one in
q Lincoln case, have been handed down
by Justice Whitehouse:
Alice E. Fleming VS.. William Courte-
nay.
Rescript by Whitehouse T.
After careful review of the cues
lions involved in this case, in the light
OF further argument by counsel. no
reason is discovered for modifying the
conclusion reached in the former
opinion of the court, but the rule of
procedure there established is reaffirm-
ed as just and salutary one.
An examination of the several
amendments which appear in the
rrinted case shows that the common
counts being the third, fourth and fifth
counts in the writ, are amended by
inserting in each an averment of the
assignment OF the claim to the plain
tiff, in exact accordance with the Ian
guage OF the opinion. The declaration
is further amended by striking out the
first and second counts, as suggested in
the opinion, and by inserting in lieu
thereof a special count, which is sim
Div the original second count in the
writ, so modified as to be a declarati
in the plaintiffs personal capacity.
True, this special count is not express
II mentioned, but it is manifestly no
Emore than Il further specification of
the plaintiffs claim which is clearly
authorized by the whole tenor of the
opinion and within the comprehensive
terms of the concluding sentence as an
| appropriate amendment 10 be allow
| ed by the presiding judge Such a
| specification of the claim sought to be
| recovered under the common counts is
| in 10 respect preiudicial but obviously
! an advantage to the defendant The
amendment offered was allowable as a
matter of law, and the ruling which
| denied the amendment las a matter of
| law" was erroneous. The case is again
| rcmanded to the trial court where the
| plaintiff may have the proposed amend
ment allowed, unless it should be con-
sitiercd by the presiding Judge that it's
| allowance would not be in the further
| ance OF justice.
! Defendants exceptions overrulad.
Plaintiffs exceptions sustained.
Case remanded accordingly.

LincOln's Ambition.

Lincoln was hungry for an educa-
ton: he yearned for growth, for ex-
pansion, and, because many volumes
were denied him, he appreciated all
the more the precious books which
he walked many miles to obtain, anG
which he read before the log fire
when all the rest of the household
were asleep. There was no large Ii
brary of books staring him in the
face, bidding for attention, and dis
tracing his choice. All the energy
of his nature was concentrated on
that single Life of Washington
He threw his whole being into it, and
devoured it, as only soul thirsting
