Superior Court.

At session of the superior court held last Thursday the case of Leroy J. Waldo vs. Jules and Julia Urban was tried. They live in Mansfield, and the suit is to recover the value of goods placed at $19 in the bill of particulars, and when Judge Elmer heard of the amount over which the parties were at odds he remarked to the lawyers that it would have been 8 good case to settle out of court. MT. Waldo was the first witness, and testified that having sold his farm to MT. Burnham he stored some of his goods and removed the rest. MT. Burnham disposed of the place to Jules Urban, and when MT. Waldo went after his things the Urbans told him MT. Burnham had taken them. He swore than he saw the lumber in question, also 8 wolf robe, and he tried to get possession of these, but the Urbans immediately locked all the doors of the buildings and he had to leave without them. Upon 8 sub- sequent visit he took friend with him, who likewise saw the lumber and robe. Other witnesses for the plaintiff were George H. Baker and Fred Prentice. Jules Urban, the de- fendant, told the court that when he bought the place he became the owner of everything on it, at least he SO un. derstood from MT. Burnham, the pre-. vious owner. The case was previ ously tried in 8 justice court and judgment rendered for the plaintiff by default. The amount asked fol now is $40 damages. Judge Elmer reserved his decision.
 Judgment has been rendered by Judge Elmer in the case of Patricl Daly vs. William Daily. The former sued for pay for services rendered or the latter's farm in Bolton. "Fathe1 Bill'' Daly did not appear in defense so the court allowed the judgment by default for $62.2
 The June session closed Friday with 8 short calendar. In the cass of Gilbert A. Chapman vs. William W. Worthington, motion for reliei from order of court requiring tht plaintiff to give 8 bond, was granted A foreclosure was ordered in the cass of Lincoln vs. Russ and the seeone Monday of October given to redeem; One di vorce was heard, that of Rob II grounds being adultery.

A0MFORD. WagEEoT0.


 The services at the Congregational church last Sunday were of especial in- tsrest, being held for the first time in the new auditOriunA. The decorations were artistic, and in harmony with the softly tinted interior, and consisted of palms, potted plants and laurel, pink and white. The morning services consisted of Q short impressive sermon on II Chron., 32: 2, the theme, "Our Strength Is in God" by the pastor, Rev. Henry A. Ryder, follow cd by the baptism of several candidates on confession of faith, and concluded with the communion. The children's service at four o'clock was deeply inter- esting and was largely attended, every seat being taken. The auditorium was filled to overaowing, the doors of the vestry being thrown open, forming fine gallery, which rapidly filled until every seat was occupied and many remain g standing. The largest attendance in years was noted, between thirty and forty teams occupying the sheds and tie-ups. The program consisted of thirty-four numbers following processional, and prettily arranged praise exercises, and the children in. their solos, recitations and dialogues proved to be well-drilled and happy. In one of the numbers FloF.' ence Hughes tastefully arranged bou. quet of flowers and presented 1t to the pastor as . token of the chfldren's love, to which he responded in 6 short address. The service closed with the benediction by Rev. G. c. Chappell of WarFsnville.

The story of a Discovery.

How many valuable inventions have been the result of pure accident. while in other cases men have puzzled their brains with study for a lifetime and brought forth nothing!
 It happened one night that big starch factory on the banks of the Lif- fey, near Dublin. took fire, and great puddles of starch and water were left outside.
 Some calico printers who had been out all night and were quite tipsy came along toward morning, and one of them stumbled into one of the puddles. He found it so sticky that all his clothes stuck to him so fast that he had to stay in bed next morning till his wife soak ed them out ...a5
 The man knew from his trade that the starch and water had formed a very powerful and valuable gum. He went back to the place of the fire and investigated, and the result was the discovery of the adhesive gum now used in sticking postage stamps and which has made many rich. But tenn perance lecturers need not know it, Boston Globe.

zen Kisses SSe ere Erequemt.

IL has long been known to ethnoi- osists that among many primitive triLes and races the practice of kissing the Maoris rubbing of noses occupied it's place. The average native of Japan still knows nothing of the practice of kissing. - ..-......
 The practice of lip to lip salutation was especially characteristic of Eng fish social life in Tudor times. Its uni versal employment was one of the things noticed by Erasmus during his sojourn in England and is thus com mented on in one of his "Epistolae:" Here are girls with angels faces, so kind and obliging that you would pre- fer them to all your muses. Besides. there is q custom here never to be suf- ficiently commended. Whenever you come you are received with kiss by all; when you take your leave, you are dismissed with kisses; you return, kisses are repeated. They come to visit you. kisses again; they leave you. you kiss them all round. Should they meet you anywhere. kisses in abun- dance. Tn fine. wherever you move, there is nothing but kisses.'
