Cross Questions At Law--An ac-
tion of trespass between parties of
this town before Esquire Goodwin
of Dover, on Wednesday last, ere
ated a good deal of interest in both
that place and this. DIR. Collins
had an execution against John r.
Wilson, which was delivered to
Constable Weldon, who levied on a
rick of wood Of about eight cords
several weeks ago and sold the
same as the property of Wilson.
The latter claimed that the wood
came off of the farm of Russell Coe,
which was formerly his and which
he still manages. An action for
trespass and damages was institut-
ed to cover the value of the prop
erty for Russell Coe. There were
fourteen witnesses, those for the
plaintiff testifying that they had
bought considerable quantity
from time to time from that farm
and those for the defendent that
the same wood had been used by
Mr.. Wilson in his business and that
they had seen wood bought from
a number of persons and thrown on
the same pile and sold indiscrim-
inately to purchasers. The esti-
mated quantity when sold on the
land was six cords. The referees
reported in favor of the PLAINTIFF the
value of one cord, $3.50 and costs,
but in regard to the latter the law
is not clear (the award being less
than 5000 and as the defendent
intends asking for a transcript to
test the wisdom of the Referees
decision before the Court, the un-
certainties of the case will be set
tied there. The case before the
magistrates Court was argued by
J. A. Fulton for the plaintiff and
F. A. Williams for defendent.

The transition from winter to
was sudden and decided. +
Up to Sunday the North winds pre-
vailed, the thermometer falling at
night down to, or near the frost +
point, but the south winds of the
past three days has given us de-
cided summer the thermometer
ranging from 80 degrees to 90 de-
grees dispensing at once with coal
stoves, and blankets. The effect
has been magical The wheat and
grass fields in this short time have
grown beyond recognition, and
bare limbs have suddenly develop
ed into beautiful shade trees. Ma
ture seems to be making a desper-
ate effort to make up lost time.
