Litch- field vs. the Norwood Manufacturing Company, the referee has given a judg- ment for plaintiff for $3,425 and costs. The action was for an injunction and for damages on three causes of action. The The fir t claim was for outting thirty- nine trees to clean out an old tote road. These were from three to eight inches through, and were worth about two ceuts each. The referee held that this cutting damaged the entire tract of 8,654 acres, and allowed $176 damages. The plaintiff proved by expert wituesses- that there were 100,000 stumps on the tract less than eleven inches through. The contract provided that no trees should be out into saw logs less than eleven inches at the stnmps. The de- fendant proved that they put no trees into saw logs oi lumber of any kind smaller than that, and that from 70,000 to 80,000 small trees ;were needed for roads, skids and other lumbering pur- poses. The referee found that they cut 100,000 small trees and that they used 57,500 for lumbering purposes and gave judgment for $2,000 for this, Tbe contract allowed them to. make dams and to flow and overflow all lands, and to raise all lakes and ponds for all lum- bering purposes. They used Jenkins' Pond in the ordinary way for driving the late died at COUNTY BOARri OF TRADE. CANTON, N. Y., Dec. 5, 1896.

The General Term has affirmed the judgment of the St. Lawrence Circuit Court in the Shaw damage case, which awarded William Shaw $4,500 and costs for injuries caused by falling through a bridge crossing Trout Brook between the towns of Potsdam and Madrid.. The damage and costs now amount to $6,000 We trust the town is now satisfied with the outlook, snd will carry the oase no further. Without pretending to any great knowledge of the legal merits of the oase, we felt that the town should have been satisfied with the decision of the Circuit Court, and said so, urging a settlement when the matter was con- sidered at the annual town meeting of 1894. E. A. Merritt, Jr., since elected supervisor, took the same position, and a vote showed quite'a large number of citizens who believed Mr. Shaw was in the right in the contention. FIRE AT MASSENA.

—In the case of Edward H. Litch­field vs. the Norwood Manufacturing Company, the referee has given a judg­ment for plaintiff for $3,425 and costs. The action was for an injunction and for damages on three causes of action. The The fir t claim was for outting thirty-nine trees to clean out an old tote road. These were from three to eight inches through, and were worth about two ceuts each. The referee held that this cutting damaged the entire tract of 8,654 acres, and allowed $176 damages. The plaintiff proved by expert wituesses-that there were 100,000 stumps on the tract less than eleven inches through. The contract provided that no trees should be out into saw logs less than eleven inches at the stnmps. The de­fendant proved that they put no trees into saw logs oi lumber of any kind smaller than that, and that from 70,000 to 80,000 small trees ;were needed for roads, skids and other lumbering pur­poses. The referee found that they cut 100,000 small trees and that they used 57,500 for lumbering purposes and gave judgment for $2,000 for this, Tbe contract allowed them to. make dams and to flow and overflow all lands, and to raise all lakes and ponds for all lum­bering purposes.

One week ago 1,000 tubs of butter were "sold yery late in the evening and dn Monday!at-2% to 20^o. and 20Jc, some having assorted-lots-

This is the last market day of this season. The prices were very low on cheese until October, when a syttematio boom was put.insforoe by the Montreal dealers for a' purpose, until Boston got into the tide, and in the excitement of business the prices were forced too high and will tend to Btop consumption, and give us a surplus next spring, which will be liable to take us into the sum­mer to recover from and under these cir­cumstances some dissatisfaction was ex­perienced at the time of delivery. Our looal dealers were not to blame, as they always work under orders. The butter trade has experienced a-healthy advance for4he last three weeks, and we are ex­pecting better times in the near future. The buyers and sellers will continue to meet at the American house eaoh Satur­day while the butter making continues.

300 tubs of butter sold at 20|o. M. R. WAIT, Seoretary.

• » • THE SHAW DAMAGE CASE.

The General Term has affirmed the judgment of the St. Lawrence Circuit Court in the Shaw damage case, which awarded William Shaw $4,500 and costs for injuries caused by falling through a bridge crossing Trout Brook between the towns of Potsdam and Madrid.. The damage and costs now amount to $6,000 We trust the town is now satisfied with the outlook, snd will carry the oase no further. Without pretending to any great knowledge of the legal merits of the oase, we felt that the town should have been satisfied with the decision of the Circuit Court, and said so, urging a settlement when the matter was con­sidered at the annual town meeting of 1894. E. A. Merritt, Jr., since elected supervisor, took the same position, and a vote showed quite'a large number of citizens who believed Mr. Shaw was in the right in the contention.

FIRE AT MASSENA.

Last Friday evening, the.light from a J

fire ,in the Northeast epuld-be distinctly seen from Norwood. I t proved to be the barn of Mr. J. B. Bailey, about two miles below Massena Springs. The fire caught from the explosion of a lantern. The cattle, 30 in number, were saved, but all other contents, snob as hay and grain, were lost. Partially insured.

A few days ago while A. A. Smith was engaged in the woods with his team he was severely kicked by one of the horses, one foot striking him on the shoulder and the other on the chin. He was picked by unconscious by Mr. T. Palmer, who was assisting fchim, and taken home, but was able to be around again in a short time.

Last Friday evening the friends of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Robinson gave them quite a surprise in honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary of their mar­riage. They were presented with a very nice set of dishes, besides many other useful articles. A good time was enjoyed by all.

There were no preaching services in the Congregational church yesterday as Rev. S. A. Worden was called to Ames, N. Y., on account of the death of his brother, Rev. A.,T. Worden.
