From the Law Court.

The following rescript in Waldo county
case has been handed down from the Maine
Law Court:
Grace A.Smith VS.. Henry Rogers. Rescript.
(No opinion). Strout. j.
. The case is replevin for certain house
hold articles. The ownership of the goods
was the only issue between the parties.
The case is here on motion of the plaintiff
to set aside the verdict as against the evil
dence.
Tae case has been twice tried before a
jury and at each trial a verdict was rem
dered against the plaintiff, and the property
in the goods found to be in the defendant.
A careful reading of the testimony suggests
a doubt as to the correctness of this finding,
but it was purely question of fact for the
determination of the jury. The evidence
was conflicting and the amount of credence
to be given the testimony of witnesses was
peculiarly within the province of the jury
who saw and heard them. We cannot say
that the verdict is so clearly wrong as to
require us to disturb it.

One v'cste.u tova had a board of trade which had slca; along for years without doing anyt!:i.#.: In particular. except eating some food once year at banquet and llsteni2 , to some spread eagle oratory. says the Pittsbrrs Dispatch. The ocganiZati5.s became 4oribuad, and it's presidency was an honor no longer sought for The directors met and gave the place to q yonng man Of the type we like 10 encor"s@ The young man took hls job serie - and went to work. II wasn't lon- # ., he @-aw an idea Of bis own.
 Every family that moved to town l. spotted. Employment vas provided for the breadwinners where necessaI..5f,. and the new people were made to feel at home. When this personal atten. ton had got in its work. representa-. tive of the board of trade interviewed the head of the new family, This in. terview was incorporated into letter: mimeograph copies were made, put into stamped envelopes and made ready to mail Then the letters were taken 10 the newcomer. and he was asked to address them to his friends .back east" The scheme worked like magic, and the population boomed. Of that idea many new ones were born. The young man has been several times re. elected president of the board of trade, and he can have anything the people of that town can give him.
