A case was tried in Justice Court before
Esquire Bennett on Monday of this week, in

hands. It waa a jury trial, and judgment was
rendered for plaintiff for about $140, including
interest and costs.

Charlos Duncombe. Eeq., met with another
mishap on Saturday evening lait. He had been
to Decatur during tho day with the same team
which ran away last week, also the same car
riage, and while on his way home he undertook
to pass Milo Cragcr who bad stopped bis team
on the bridge over tho inlet to Lake of the
Woods, about a mile from Decatur. The bridge
not being wide enough, the wheels of both
vehicles locked and both were overturned.
Duncombe's horses, which are very high
spirited, ran away and broke the carriage to
pieces ana tearing a nice set of harness to
fragments. The team was stopped by Henry
Smith, Esq., in front of bis place near Brown's
Tavern and put in his barn, and wheu Mr.
Duncombe came trudging along on bis way
home be took one of the horses, saddled it and
rode tbo remainder or the way. Duncombe
was not injured, nuitbtr were the horses.
A fellow, whose name is not known, came
into town last week with a team and bu?gy
which bo claimed a his own, and put up at
Scott's livery barn, l'o all appearances he was
a horse-swapper and the horsos ordinary trad
ing stock. He sold the buggy to Joe Cohn, of
the firm of B. Juiiu A: Co.. and then left on
the railroad, since which tune nothing has been
seen cr beard from him. Subsequently, Mr.
Lcfler, the new livery keeper or Bangor, came
into town and claimed horses and buggy as his
own and took the buggy from Cohn. There
was a board bill cf about four days' growth at
Scott's barn due on tbo horses, and Scott pro
posed to keep tbem until that was paid, but
Letler refused to pay it, and finally wpnt to
Paw Paw and got out a Writ of Replevin and
took the horses on that. We think it would
have been much mere sensible for Lefler to
bavo paid tbo f 4. 00 board bill and then have
taken the horses, than to have instituted a suit
in tho Circuit Court to get possession of them
without paying for what bis horses had eaten.

Says the Boston Tost : " People who adver
tise aro smarter than those who don't : better
looking, too, nine in ten." This is natural, if
not logical. Advertising is an indication of
Intelligence, and intelligence is one of tho lead
ing elements of good looks. At all events the
world believes in those who advertise, and it
plants its dollar in their pockets. Such are
live people: and in these live days nobody
wants anything to do with any but your live
men and women. Our advice to every body
except in -matrimonv is to advertise. It is
sure to raturn largely, and increase your repu
tation as a busine-s man, make hosts of friends
and add to the number of shrewd and sensible
people in tbo world, of which tbors bao never
