Various Happy Occasions Among
Town and Country Folk.

Mrs. Earl Pearson, No. 115 North
l. street, was made the center of an
attentive throng of young ladies one
lay last week when friends and as
sociates and relatives responded to
he invitation OF the sister, Mrs.
Elizabeth Phillips, and precipitated
a "stork shower" in honor OF the
young lady. The affair was some
what in the nature of a surprise,
cleverly contrived and carried out by
Mrs. Phillips and her assistants.
They had the rooms of the home
specially decorated for the occasion
in pink and white when Mrs. Pearson
returned from an arranged mission
to town. The ladies. brought their
needles and crochet hooks and while
they told stories or chatted, busy fin
gers accomplished much. Luncheon
appropriate to the occasion was serV'
ed and enjoyed by the company. The
presents acknowledged by Mrs. Pear
son were numerous, dainty and pref
ty in the extreme and the afternoon
was one of extreme pleasure for all
participating.

Granville Pullen Returning

Granville Pullen of Lassen, Cal,
who has been visiting relatives in
Maine for two months. left last week
for his home. Mr.. Pullcn has a
museum at his western home and is
carrying back some relies OF early
Maine days, which will be genuine
curiosities in California. Among
these is a revise for Smelling corn
which consists of two heavy pieces OF
wood in which are placed short
heavy iron teeth. On the upper plank
is placed a handle by which the af-
fair is manipulated and the ear OF
corn is placed between these two and
quickly Invested Of its kernels be
tween the strong teeth.
Other articles that Mr.. Pullen
will take back with him are an old
fashioned tuning fork, a pair OF
wooden names which served also as
a collar in the olden days; these are
supposed to be over n hundred years
old; a handmade clothespin, an iron
billy such as were carried in the
early times by stage drivers for safe
ty in case of attack, and several old
coins.
brought from his home to show here
was Il skull of some sort of animal
which was found on the beach near
Fort Bragg in Mendocino county. 1t
appears to be the upper part of the
skull as the lower jaw is apparent
" missing but while there are open
ings where the nostrils might be
there are no openings for eyes. in the
bones Of the skull. Several scien-
lists have seen the skull but none so
far car give any idea what sort Of
an animal or fish it might have be
longed to.
Mr.. Pullen has been a large part
of the time visiting at the home OF
his sister Mrs Mary Ingham OF West
ern Avenue, where recently there
gathered at dinner the seven living
children of the family, four boys and
three girls. It is doubtful if any
other such family can be found IN
New England.
The members Of the family at din

ReScript Has Been Handed Down In
Case of Allen vs. WeSc0tt

A rescript in which motion and eX-
ccptions have been handed down by
Chief Justice Savage in the case OF
John Slack Allen of Cornyille versus
Elmer Wescott of Athens Action
was brought on the alleged deceit in
sale of land and the case was heard
at the January term of Court this
year The jury rendered verdict
in favor of Mr. Allen in the sum of
$3.50 the case later going to the law
court. The rescript is as follows:
SOMERSET COUNTY-John Slack
Allan VS. Elmer f. Wescott. Res
cript by Savage. c. J.
/. In an action for deceit in the
sale of property, the plaintiH must
show that the defendant Intentional
ly made a false representation to
him, with the intent that he should
act upon it, or in such manner DIS
would naturally induce him to act
upon it, that the representation was
material. that it was known to the
defendant TO be false. or, being of
matter susceptible of knowledge. was
made as of a fact of his own know
ledge. that he was thereby induced
to act upon it, and that he was de
ceiyed and damaged.
,. The evidence in the case war
ranted the jury in finding all the es-
genital elements Of actiJnable deceit
lavorably to the plaintiff.
3. An oral bargain for the sale of
land couGummatpd by giving a bond
for a deed is not within the statute
of frauds.
4. When an oral bargain for tie
sale of land is consummated by
bond for deed, the purchaser is
not limited in an action for deceit to
proof of misrepresentation made at
the time of the delivery of the bond.
s. In an action Of deceit, the de-
PENDANT is responsible for such mean
ing as his words, spoken as of fact
of his own knowledge, reasonably
conveyed to the plaintiff.
6. When bill of exceptions itself
does not state enough of the case,
enough of the contentious and issues
in the case, to enable the court ito
determine whether the rulings and
refusals to rule, complained of were
proper or improper material or i'm
material, harmful or otherwise, the
court is not bound to consider the
exceptions. And this is true. altho
the report of the evidence and the
charge of the judge are made part
of the bill.
Motion and exceptions oyerruled.
Received September 18th, 1916.
