Androscoqqin Rescript.

AndroscoEsin County Rescript-Samuel G..
Damren ct al VS.. George Z. Trask.
Strout, ].
BY contract between the parties plain
tifs were to sell and defendant to buy
an amount of clapboards. A part of the
clapboards were received by the defend
ant, and he refused to receive any more.
The suit il for the price of the clap
boards received by defendant and for
damages for refusal to receive the bal
ancc Bundles of clacboards had been
sent to Wentworth, at Boston, and one
bundle was introduced as an exhibit by
the defendant as a sample of the clap
boards put up by plaintiff under the
contract Plaintiffs claimed that the clap
boards exhibited did not come from those
furnished by them. Upon this issue.
Wentworth was asked as to the appear
ance of the clapboards shown compG red
with other clapboards manufactured by
plaintiffs which he had seen before. To
which he answered: '"They were not
standard as far as dressing and grad
ing And another question: "What, as
compared to the clapboards you saw at
the Moody barn. for instance, that were
showed you by Mr.. Trask?" To which he
answered: Il thought they were an older
lot" Some of the clapboards received by
defendant had been stored in the Moody
barn.
Both these questions were objected to,
and, being admitted, exception was talk
en-. which is now presented to this court.
The issue was not as to the quality of
the bundle presented as an exhibit. A
comparison was asked as to this bun
die and other clapboards manufactured
by plaintiffs. The witness answer was
descriptive only. 1t was not matter re-
Quiring expert knowledge. mot up to
standard (of plaintiffs other clapboards>
as to dressing ana grading. Suppose he
had said one was rough and the other
smocth,-one dry and the other wet,-
one sound and the other decayed.-one
new and the other old. Either Of these
answers involved as much Of an opin-
ion as the one given. 1t was a practical
description that could properly be given
hy any man msing his eyesight. The ex-
cePtions refer to Wentworth's letter, in
which it was said almost every board
that we have seen so far has been more
or less roughly dressed. 1t looks as if the
boards had been planed before they were
dry" This letter was in the case without
objection.
The answer to the second question: ST
thought they were an older lot" is only
descriptive. 1t is equivalent to saying
they appeared older, certainly competent
as a description
Exceptions overruled.

AUGUSTA POISON FACTORIES
You Will be Surprised to Learn How
Many There Are.

Did you ever feel stupid and dull
after eating a hearty dinner?
When food is retained too long in
the stomach, because of stomach
weakness, the poison factory works
overtime and there is giddiness, con-
fusion of thought, despondency, heart
burn, sleeplessness, nervous trouble
and other forms Of indigestion.
1t is high time to look about for
quick relief when you have dizzy
spells after eating.
The general use of Mi-o-na stomach
tablets puts within the reach Of every
one reliable and positive cure for all
stomach weakness. Mi-o-na quickly
cures the worst case of indigestion.
and the pain and distress which is
often felt after meals will soon dis
appear, such is the wonderful curative
power Of this little tablet.
Mi-o-na acts upon entirely different
principles from any of the other
remedies that have been used IN
stomach trouble. 1t is taken before
meals, and has a specific Strengthening
action upon the muscles of the
stomach. increasing the flow of diges-
tive juices and making the stomach
get to work and digest easily and
naturally the food which is eaten.
Bowditch, Webster & Co. have seen
so many cures made by Mi-o-na that
they give a guarantee with every So
cent box that the remedy costs nothing
unless it cures. Try Mi-o-na on this
guarantee of theirs, as they take all
the risk and the remedy will not cost q
cent unless it cures.

| require this. The objections to the re-
turns to the clerk in the other suits do
not impress. us as of weight, and are

verdicts are supported by the evidence.
AS to the exceptions. Evidence was Of
fered that the principal defendant drew
orders upon Gilbert, owner of the logs,
for the payment of the several sums due
the plaintiffs. by order OF Gilbert, and
that he promised the principal defend
ant that he would see the orders paid.
This evidence was admitted against OBJ
jections by Gilbert, because the actions
were not upon the orders. but were an
attempted enforcement of lien claims"
This is the only exception presented Tho
Issue, as claimed by Gilbert, was wheth-
er there was a lien, perfected or not. The
! orders and the promise to pay them mad
no tendency to establish or disprove the
lien. and, whether the evidence vas ad-
missible or not, it was absolutely imma-.
terial and without weight upon the issue
on trial. Gilbert could not have been ag-
srieved by its admission. In such case,
even if the evidence was inadmissible,
the exceptions will not be sustained.
