is well-known cattle buyer, of Wey-
bridge, brings suit to recover $4,000
damages for injuries sustained in a
wreck while riding in the caboose of a
cattle train near Proctorsville last
spring. j. E. Cushman, of Burlington,
and L. G. Russell, of Middlebury, repre-
sented Mr.. Sprigg, and Judge H. Henry
Powers, of Morrisville, appeared for the
railroad company. The case goes over
to the next June term. Mr.. Sprigg is
now in precarious condition at his
home in Weybridge.
A start was made on the first jury
trial of the term, it being the case of
Francis Downs and wife VS. Lizzie r.
Turner ct al, the "other" being Stella
G. Turner, a sister of Lizzie. In this
case it was claimed for the plaintiffs,
who reside in Middebury, that about a
year ago they purchased "a farm from
the defendants, the farm being situate
in Cornwall, and of about % acres in
extent, and got warrantee deed of the
same; that subsequently it appeared that
valuable spring on the premises con-
veyed by the deed had been sold and
decided to P. NJ. Cobb, who owned the
adjoining land, over 80 years before, and
the suit was brought to secure damages
for breach of covenant. The damages
were originally laid at 5000 but at the
last June term the court allowed the ad
damnum to be raised to 81 900. Judge
w. III. Bliss and w. II. Davis, of Middle
bury, had charge of the case for the
plaintiffs and Lawrence and Lawrence,
of Rutland, managed the case for the
defense.
1t took half an hour Tuesday after
noon to empanel a jury to try the case,
and then on motion of Judge Bliss the
jury were sent out to Cornwall to inspect
the premises, Deputy Sheriff Cobb hav-
ing them in charge. Mr.. Davis accom-
panit them on the part of the plaintiff
and George f. Lawrence went along on
the part of the defense. AS it was ap-
parent that the jury could not get back
from their jaunt in season to resume
work on the case that afternoon, a recess
was taken at 3:15 o'clock to 8 o'clock
Wednesday morning.
The taking of testimony in this case
was begun Immediately upon the re-
assembling of court on Wednesday morn
ing and it being conceded by the de-
fense that the only question in the case
was as to the amount of damages, the
evidence offered was all made to bear on
that point. The whole of the forenoon
session was taken up with the submis-
sion of such testimony, with occasional
mild tilts between the counsel.
The afternoon session did hot open
until 3 o'clock, in consequence of the
funeral services of Mrs. Darwin Rider,
elsewhere noted; and the rest of the day
was taken up with the continuance of
the evidence for the plaintiff. Court at
5:35 o'clock took a recess until 9 o'clock
ThuTsGav morning, and the testimony
was continued up to noon yesterday.
The case is not finished as we go to press.
and may last into Saturday forenoon,
though probably not.
The grand jury are still at work and
the chances are that they will not re-
port before this afternoon.

Dealt of Mrs. Darwin Rider.

The death of Mrs. Maranda Frost
Rider, wife of Darwin Rider, which oc-
CURED at Bellows Falls Monday noon,
after a brief illness from pneumonia
will bring sorrow to a wide circle of
friends in this county, where she lived
for many years and is well-known and
loved. The remains We're brought here
Monday afternoon and taken to the re-
sdence of l.. a. Skiff, on South street,
where the funeral services were held
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev.
Thomas Simms of the Congregational
church officiated, and the interment was
in the family plot at Crown Point.
Thursday.
She was the daughter of Capt. Joseph
Frost of Bridport, one of the early
settlers of that town and, in his day,
one of the influential citizen of the
county. There she spent the early years
of her life and there she was married in
September, lS47 to Darwin Rider. She
resided later for many years, in Crown
Point, n. Y, where her husband was
general manager of the Crown Point
Iron Co. Mr.. and Mrs. Rider returned to
Bridport to the old Frost homestead, on
the death of her father in 1858 and lived
there until in the spring of 1866 when
they moved to Middlebury and took
possession of the Addison House, of
which she was the popular hostess for
over thirty years. Mrs. Rider was q
most efficient helpmate to her husband
and they made IA host of friends during
their hotel life here. A little over a
year ago they moved to Below Falls
where Mr.. Rider opened the new Hote
Windham and where they made many
friends. Mrs. Rider was greatly beloved
in Middlebury and many will miss hel
quiet deeds of charity. She early joined
the Congregational church and was
always a regular church attendant and
most devoted member. Had she lived
until Christmas day she would have
been 81 years of age. Up to the day wher
her fatal illness began she had been>s
most remarkably bright and energetic
woman.

When court came in for the afternoon
session the grand jurors Were found to
be all present and they We're at once
sworn. Judge Tyler gave them the
customary instructions and told them
that they should be especially careful to
inquire into any probable violations of
the License Law. Charles H. Lane, of
Cornwall, was appointed their foreman,
and A. w. Dickens, of Middlebury, was
appointed by the court to appear before
them in behalf of the state in place of
States Attorney Donoway, who was
laid up at home with a very bad leg.
After receiving their instructions the
grand jury at once retired to consider
the states business. From an outside
point of view it did not look as though
they would find much work to do this
term. The names of the grand jurors,
as well as those of the petit jurors, have
already been printed in the Register.
The petit jurors were next called and
sworn and all were found to be present
although for various reasons three or
four of them were excused from service
for the term. They were given brief
general instructions.

WOMAN A PESSIMIST.
Aftfer q Certain Age THEIR FaoeN
Show Signs of Mental Worry
and Distress.

The average woman is dyed-in-
the-wool pessimist. Almost every
woman over 80 years of age looks
distressed Her brows are bent, her
mouth drawn into tight line, and
there are deep burrows down her
cheeks. She looks exactly as if sHs,e

dinner for 25 cents that will satisfy
twenty-five small children. when in
reality she may have nothing more
serious on her mind than buying s

women grow old faster than men.
for they hug their worries to them
and let them show in their faces.
There was once an elderly servant
who was superstitious to a degree
and who always expected the worst
to happen. Did she find needle on
the floor, did picture fall in the
house or bird fly into one of the
rooms, she was instantly plunged
into woe. "We're going to have a
heap Of bad luck" she would say.
and then she'd be lachrymose until
some one had the toOthache or the
cows got into the corn. when she
would consider the demon luck ex-
orcised or satisfied for time and
grow as cheerful as it was her habit
to be. Some one once asked her If
she did not have any goodluck signs.

they don't count don't believe in
the good-luck ones," which, by the
by, is thoroughly characteristic Of
the sex.
Here is a woman who suffers-suf-
fers is the word-from insomnia. II
can't imagine why don't sleep" she
says to her friends. 'I'm sleepy as
anything when I go upstairs, but
then l begin to wonder if my son
Arthur, who travels for a drug firm,
is on train. and in a minute I see
him just as plainly bleeding and
mangled in wreck. When I decide
that he is really dead. I think Of
John, and worry because he hasn't
better position. Then Molly comes
into my mind. and I feel sure that
one of her children must be i'll, feel
so blue about her. I fret over Lucy's
throat bit then, and by this time
I'm wide awake. It's the strangest
thing! don't understand why
should be so wakeful!"

NOW he's prescribing for her course

women need-their faces show It
but there are few who are sensible
enough to take it.

KEPT AGURGLlNG
BY DAVID HILL.

John HAWKINS pasture and mine
u Joined together in a kind of dry
hollow and were separated from each
other by high rail fence. That
fence. as we'll as the hollow, ran due
east and west. To the east was Tom
Lamkin's pasture, whose land Joined
ours, and whose fence ran in directly
the opposite direction. The hollow
from Lamkin's land down to the est
ern extremity Of ours was quite de-
scending; and in the lower corner, on
Johns side of the fence. was one Of the
largest. coolest and most invigorating
springs l ever saw.
1t seemed to gurgle, and bubble, and
boil up like SO much liquid crystal;
and when the sunlight flashed across
it the suggestion was that of cluster
of pure diamonds in the bright glare
of an electric light.
If do say it. always envied John
that beautiful spring, from the mo-
ment l discovered it was ON his land
instead of my own.
Finally an idea entered my head
that, if l dug into the ground on my
own side of the fence. just few rods
above Johns spring, l might tap the
vein that furnished the supply, and so
convert a portion Of that water to my
own use.
So l went at It.
And my success was greater than
my expectations.
For, in less than four feet of soil
struck vein Of water that boiled up
like miniature fountain. Neither
did the force diminish. as l fancied it
higher and higher, and bubbled and
gurgled, until finally it overfowed the
hole and went pouring down the in
cline like young spring freshet.
l was in ecstasies.
The elation over mygood fortune led
me to steal over to Johns spring to
see how the two compared for guam
tity and circumference.
Well. bless my soul! Judge of my
astonishment when I found that
Johns spring was as dry as the table
lands of New Mexico. had cut off the
main channel connecting the water
with his land, and had converted the
whole of that magnificent spring into
one of my own.
1 quickly realized there would be q
cyclone when John found it out, and
there was.

own side Of the fence, and swore he
would have me prosecuted to the full

the other day. Two Harvard men
