County Court.

The case of William Ro6y vs.. Boston &
Maine railroad which was tried before
struck jury last week resulted in a
disagreement Ct the jury and notice has
been made for a new trial. The case
grew out of an accident to the plaintiff
for injuries received while employed as
section hand year ago when he fell
in front of moving handcar in the
south yard and was badly injured in the
back. In the trial the defense let the
case go to the jury without putting in
any evidence. The next case set for
trial was that of N. A. Beach VS.. Bos-
ton & Maine Ry. Plaintiff, some years
ago, owned and operated mill at North
Derby near the railroad, and the mill
was burned. 1t was alleged that the
fire was caused by sparks from loco
motive. This case was to have been
tried before a special jury, but it was
discontinued and is out Of court.
A session for the consideration of ma
! turalizauion papers was held Saturday.
On Monday afternoon the petit jury
were chosen in the case of F. H. Wright
VS.. Town of Brighton. This is a suit
for damages for injuries received in an
automobile accident which took place
in October 1914 when the auto ran out
of the road and into ditch in the town
of Brighton. This case was tried in the
March term of court and was decided
in favor of the defendent. Exceptions
were taken as we understand it, and is
the occasion for the case being retired.
Witnesses are many and the case is
being ably handled by counsel on both
sides. 1t is doubtful if the case is fin
ished this week. Several cases of a
similar nature have been settled and
discontinued. Seven more civil cases
are set for trial. 70.

GOOD BYE"
BY JEAN WELLS.

- oiSfAAN W INI@L-'
Borne along on wings as lightning
Swift the fleeting moments fly,
And the hour is drawing nearer
When we each must say good bye.
Scarce we dare to break the silence,
Bound as by a magic spell;
One fond, lingering look is given,
Speaking more than words could tell
Tear drops on the eyelids glisten,
Hands are clasped in silent woe,
Each sad, earnest look is telling,
90. cannot let thee CO."
Still we linger, 10th to sever,
Still the hour is draw ing nigh,
When we part, perhaps forever,
Bid one last, one fond good bye"
Tender let the word be spoken,
Let its music thrill the soul,
Lest that magic spell be broken
Binding us in sweet control.
Oft that hour will be remembered,
Oft will memory love to dwell
On each. look, each parting token,
From the friends we loved so well.
Like a cadence in the music,
Like the low winds gentle sigh,
fingers in our hearts the echo,
Of that parting word, good bye"
Sweet yet sad will be its memory,
And we scarce suppress a sigh,
AS the thought comes startling o 'er us
This may be our last good bye"

Automobile Accident.

A serious automobile accident occur
red last Friday morning when a touring
car owned by George b. Young of New
port and driven by his son, Harold came
in contact with telephone pole on In
dian Point street near the residence of
7. +. E. Donaghy. In the CAV besides the
driver were Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Con-
boy. The force of the impact was so
great that Mr.. Conboy was thrown for
ward, striking the car size from which
he sustained a broken rib which pune
tured his lung. DR.. Adams was called
and relieved the mans suffering tenn
porarily and advised his removal to the
hospital at st. Johnsbury, which was
done on the $40 train. Mrs. Conboy
beside severe shaking up was uninjur-
ed as was Mr.. Young.
The cause of the accident is wholly
problematical, but owing to the fact the
car was being driven at high rate of
speed something must have swerved the
car in making the slight curve in the
street where Indian Point street crosses
Northern Avenue throwing it out of it's
courses triking plank sluice at the
road and continuing, striking the tele.
phone pole which broke from the force
also the forward axle of the car was
squarely broken at the junction, but the
momentum was so great that the car was
carried forward for distance of z8 feet
with the broken axle blowing in the
lawn of Mr.. Donaghy.
This place is the most dangerous one
in the village as the bend in the stree
makes it impossible to see far ahead

increase the speed so that the incline al
the head of Indian Point street can be
made without changing the gear. TOT

GUILDHALL.
BY MILTON CUTLER.

Guildhall is situated in the south
ern part of Essex County, nearly 40
miles from Canada line; and, by the
old stage road through Danville,
about 70 from Montpelier, and, by
way of White River Junction, $50
miles; bounded N. by Maidstone, E..
by Connecticut river, S. by Lunen-
burgh, w. by CRANKY, and contains
19,477 acres. The soil on the plains
and intervals is very good and easily
cultivated; on the hills strong and
generally better adapted to grazing
than grain growing. Newly cleared
land formerly produced excellent
crops of wheat, but of late years it
has been by no means a sure crop,
and our people depend chiefly upon
the West. Most of our farmers,
however, raise some every year, and
occasionally get fair yield. Agri-
culture is the almost exclusive pur-
suit; cattle, horses, sheep, swine and
poultry, corn, rye, oats, buckwheat,
peas, beans, potatoes, maple sugar,
etc, are the principal products.
There is a small village in the N
E. corner Of the town containing the
county buildings, Congregations
Westinghouse, academy, post-office
three stores, two public houses, &
lumber and grain mill, one black
smiths shop, one law office, and il
connected with Northumberland
N. H., by a good toll-bridge. The
best farms and principal wealth arc
in the south part, which is also con
rected with Lancaster, N. H., by {
toll-bridge.
The market facilities are now goot
by means Of the Grand Trunk rail
road, which is, at the Northumber
land depot, less than four miles dis
tant;but there are no streams, excep
the Connecticut, that afford waite
power of much account. Hence, tn
large quantities of lumber, especial,
pine, which this town and vicinit
produced, have been drawn to tn
river and hoated down to find
market in Massachusetts, Connect
cut and some intermediate towns
