 Distributing Premium Lists.
 Leonard H. Hea1ey of the Woodstock Agricultural society is distributing the premium lists for the 53d annual sx- hibition of the society, to be held dur ing the coming month. The unfortu- nate accident at last years fair. in which George Bernier. Jr., of Mechan- icsville lost his life in a balloon acci- dent. and the trial that has since fol- lowed to secure damages from the so- ciety, will in no way affect the holding of this years fair. The decision in the superior court here was in favor of the agricultural society, but an appeal has been taken to the supreme court and will probably be heard during October. The case has been ready for the atten- tion of the supreme court for several months. but could not be reached be- fore the summer vacation season, me- cessitating the delay until fall TrestIe Work. Progressing.
 Trestle builders of the John Marsch Construction company have completed the trestle to the concrete abutment of the Grand Trunk railway on Main street in Webster. The completion of this part of the work marks the pass ing of River street, which has been wiped out by the new railroad. More than 20 houses, the majority of them four and six tenement flats, have been moved from the street or torn down to make way for the road. Nothing now remains of the street, which has been replaced by a gigantic wall of rock and earth dumped in the fill py the construction trains of the crews of builders at work 7
 Civil Cases Awaiting Trial.
 A mass of business awaits the su- perior court at the opening of the Sep tember term on the first Tuesday in the coming month. The number uf new criminal cases number just over score. Nothing of these, however, indicate such lengthy trials as occu- pied the attention of the court last year, when the f1OWdTIn-Saln ana Lawson cases were disposed of, and it is believed that the criminal business will be quickly taken care of. There are a great number of civil cases due for trial at the coming term of court some of them of considerable impor- tance, and these will occupy the at tention of the court during the greater | number of days that it is to be in ses- sion.,
