Supreme Court Decision.

A decision was handed down this week
by the Supreme Court in the case OF
George Caldbeck VS.. Charles E. Siman-
ton. The action was brought to recover
damages for an alleged false warranty in
the sale Of diamond The case was
tried at the June Term 1907 and resulted
in verdict for plaintiff for $40 damages
and costs. During the trial counsel for
the defendant raised the question that
fhe action was founded on a contract,
and that by reason thereof the writ was
void and the defendant illegally arrested.
Mr.. Simanton carried this question to
the Supreme Court. and in The opinion
rendered yesterday the contention of the
defiant was sustained. The court held
that Mr.. Simanton was unlawfulv ar
rested and rendered judgment that the
writ be dismissed and that the defendant
recover his costs

Lecture by Pres. Thomas.

President Thomas Of Middlebury Col
lege gave a very interesting address on
"The Spirit Of Old Vermont" before the
Round Table Of the South church and in
yitedguests Monday evening. About 300
were in attendance and musical selections
were given by w. b. Atwood and z. X.
Mackey.
He said in part: Called to be pioneers
beneath the mighty hills, our fathers were
summoned to the interest it is in men to
be and to achieve. Necessity Of concerted
action brought men together from all
corners of the state. and their wits were
sharpened and their spirits strengt hened
as they held converse together over their
rights and the means of defending them.
From the strife ofthe Revolutionary War
there came forth the spirit of old Yer
mont, a new and distinctive spirit in
American life interviewing in the ex-
IRENE careless Of superficialities delib-
crate in decision; droll in speech, never
fooled twice in the same way, one Of the
most picturesque, and certainly not the
least useful Of typical American men.
We are little state, small in area and in
population. Let it be our endeavor,
loyal to Vermont as whole, to lift the
life Of our entire people to an ever higher
plain Of intelligence, uprightness and
moral prObity.
In closing he said "The canny wisdom,
the quiet reserve, the prudent patience
while the Millennium is yet distant. the
generous willingness to bequeath at
least job or two to subsequent genera
tlOns, the cOntentment to let it rain and
let it blow once in while if it wants to,
the expectation to wade through mud in
the spring Of the year, knowing that the
apple blossoms will come some time be-
fore August, the persistent grit that is
sure Of a crop next year, if not this, good
hay if not good sugar; the devout faith
that, if this is not the best possible Of
worlds, it at least is fairly tolerable
place for an honest man to live three
score years and en,-this spirit of our
Vermont fathers abides in our noun
tains still, and as we fill our lungs with
it in the clear, crisp mornings we face the
future braveIy and thank God for our
Green Mountain heritage"
