ESSEX COUNTY COURT.

AS briefly stated last week the first
case put on trial was that of Charles II.
White VS.. Thomas H. VanDyke. Dale
& Amey for plaintiff; Drew, Jordan,
Buckley & Shurtleff, and Harry Blod-
gett for defendant.
This was an action brought to recover
damages for an alleged assault and false
Imprisonment. In November 1902 the
plaintiff, who lived in Brockton, Mass,
Joined gang of men who were engaged
to go into the logging camp of the Con-
necticut Valley Lumber Co., of which
the defendant was an agent, situated
north of West Stewartstown, N. H.,
where the company has its offices. When
he arrived there after final tramp Ct
five miles to reach the camp his shoes
and stockings were so water soaked he
procured from the company's office
pair of rubbers on the representation
that he was an employee of the company.
In the morning finding himself unable
to work he returned to West Stewards
town instead of proceeding into the
woods. At that place as he was about
to telegraph home for money to settle
his Indebtedness he was arrested for OBJ
tanning goods under false pretences and
was thrown into jail, where he remained
until evening when, upon his declaration
that he would settle the claim against
him, he was taken to the companys
boarding house for the night, from which
he ESCAPED. The case was on trial two
DAYS resulting in disagreement of the
jury. 1t is reported the jury stood seven
to five in favor of the defendant.
The next case, that of Alvin j. French
of Island Pond VS.. The Grand Trunk
Rv. Co. for an accident that occurre |
on the 2Sth day of August 1901, was
first tried at the April term last year,
when after trial lasting five days the
jury disagreed.
The plaintiffs claim is that owing to
the crossing being blocked by box cars
inside the railroad yard limits he was
obliged to 60 around the cars, and in
doing so his view was obstructed and
before he crossed the new main line the
express came down upon him, severing
his left leg below the knee. The plain
tiff's evidence was closed Monday night

Two special trains, each comprising
ten cars, arrived here Tuesday noon, car
rying the Ancient and Honorable Artil-
lery of Boston and England. A consider
able number of people were attracted to
the station to see these much talked of
companies and to see real live lord
Their destination was Boston via
through the Notch.
The attraction at the opera house this
week is DIR. Prescelle, the celebrated
mind reader and hypnotist. He has
thus far attracted good audiences, and
has given entertainments of surprising
interest and amusement. His mind
reading is wonderful performance, and
is alone worth the small admission fee
charged, while his acts of hypnotism
border on the marvellous. The enter
tainment is one that no lover of the
scientific and mysterious should miss.
DR.. Prescelle is certainly young man
of ability and professional promise, one
whom it is a pleasure to meet.

Work on the new station is being
pushed as rapidly as possible. Two

any town of like population in America.
The building will be INTELLECTUALLY a
composite of the early Norman and
Gothic. 1t will be 102 feet long, 36 feet

ladies parlor on one side of the entrance
On the other side will be the roadmast-
er's Office, baggage room and offices for
the American and Canadian customs
The agent, assistant superintendent
train dispatchers and other departments
will have their offices on the second
floor. The building and office equip
ment will be up to date in every partic-
ular, and the office force is looking
eagerly forward to the day when they
will, in the vernacular of the stone cut
ter, "pack up their kit and go and git"

One of the prettiest weddings ever
witnessed in Christ Church took place
on Wednesday the 7th inst, when Miss
Inez B. Needham and Mr.. Ernest l..
Greene were united in marriage by the
Rector, the Rev. Edward p. Lee. The
Chancel was beautiful, with the white
altar hangings, and decorations of green
ferns, the brass altar vases holding ferns
and white asters. A rope of green with
white asters was wound around the altar
rail- and directly above, bell of green
and white was suspended from a garland
of green. Around the choir stalls, the
organ and the beautiful white marble
font, palms and potted plants were taste
fully arranged, with punches of asters
holding, the garlands of green on the pill
lars. The pews which were reserved for
invited guests were marked by punches
of ferns and cut flowers tied to the tops
of the pew ends. Long before the hour
appointed for the ceremony the un-
reserved seats were filed and all the
available chairs were brought in, and
the last corners occupied the vestibule
and steps.
Miss Beatrice Reeve, organist of the
Church, gave recital for half an hour
before the ceremony, and at exactly half
after eight, the Rector walked up the
centre aisle, followed by the groom and
his best man, Mr.. Alfred E. Bishop.
Then the wedding march announced the
arrival of the bridal procession and the
congregation rose as the ushers, Messrs.
L. B. Jones, Geo. l.. Dyer, l.. A. Cobb
and H. w. Blake advanced up the aisle
followed by Georgina, youngest sister of
the bride, as flower girl, Miss Cornelia,
also a sister, as maid of honor, and last
the bride accompanied by her father.
The old English service was used, in
which the betrothal ceremony took place
at the foot of the Chancel steps. Then
the bride and groom followed the Priest
to the altar rail, where the ring was
blessed and the marriage solemnized,
after which brief homily was address.
ed to the newly married couple.
Again the organ pealed forth to the
strains of Mendelssohn, and the bride
and groom led the procession, and the
guests followed, then came the crowd of
friends and the wedding was over.
A reception was given at the residence
of the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A.
c. Needham, when many good wishes
were showered upon the bride, who has
hosts of friends, having lived in this vii.
lage all her life. She graduated from
the Island Pond High School in 1894,

public schools of this and adjoining

SCHOOL NOTES,

Schools at the Iron Bridge, Nicholson
and Bemis districts were in session Sat.
urday, October 10, in order to give the
Superintendent an opportunity to visit
and inspect them.
Superintendent Marks has "made the
rounds of the town schools and reports
the schools in excellent condition. In
fact We are disposed to think that we
have, here in Brighton, one of the best
school systems in Northern Vermont. If
there is town in this section that has a
better or more efficient corps of teachers
than Brighton, we don't know where
that town is.
There was no session at the Pleasant
Street school on Monday, owing to the
illness of the teacher, Miss Ida Moye.
Circulars have just been sent out by
the State Department of Education in
relation to the Annual Meeting of the
Vermont State Teachers Association, to
be held at st. Johnsbury October 20, 30,
and 81. Its avowed purpose is "to arouse
from its sumbers the public mind, to
interest and encourage the heart of the
common school teacher, and to impress
upon the superintendent and teachers
of academies and schools of higher ed
ucation their great responsibilities as eX.
ponents of public school interests"
This is the largest and most import
ant educational meeting in the state,
and it is hoped that there will be
large attendance. The semi-annual
meeting of the Vermont Schoolmasters
Club will be held in conjunction with
the State Association meeting, and the
meetings promise to be of unusual inter-
est No arrangements have as yet been
made by the local teachers but it is ex-
pected that large local delegation will
attend the meetings.

In the presence of large gathering
of the masonic fraternity the master
mason's degree was conferred on Alton
C. Needham at Island Pond Lodge
Tuesday evening. This special commu-
nication was more than ordinarily in
teresting to the craft as the chairs were
filled by past masters of the lodge. The
work occupied about three hours, the
full ritual being given in excellent style,
including all the lectures, with choral
accompaniment by male quartette. 1t
was most impressive ceremony, and
afforded the greatest pleasure to all pres
ent. An oyster supper and other good
things were served at the close of the
meeting, the supper being under the di-
rection of Ed. Davis, followed by a brief
smoke talk. There was quite delega-
ton present from North Stratford and
Guildhall. Very seldom has this degree
been so deliberately conferred, and the
occasion will not soon be forgotten.

THE NEW ROUNDHOUSE.

Work on the engine house is now
practically finished. The tracks are yet
to be laid and a few minor details
worked up. Steamftters under the SUI
pervision of locomotive foreman Sadleir
are installing the heating plant. The
entrance of the first locomotive will be
delayed for some time owing to the
slowness of the firm with whom the
turntable contract was placed. The
machine shop chimney, eighty feet high,
was finished Thursday, and two brick
masons, one from each side the line,
imbedded in the top course small stats
from which now floats the banners of
their respective countries, Old Glory and
the Union Jack. Floating proudly in
the breeze these flags attracted the at
tention of one of the touring London
Honorables who exclaimed: "That is
where they belong, side by side; let us
hope we may never see them otherwise. "
And to this we all say amen.
