The suit of the Berlin Bridge Company
vs. the Vermont C'oustruetion Company,
which has been on trial for the past month
in Franklin county court, was decided last
week in favor of the plaiutiff, in the sum of
8.1.(il8.77 and costs. The Berlin company
contracted to build a bridge over the river
at Sheldon, aud they in turn contracted
with the Vermont Coustruction Company
to build the abutmeuts and piers. Subse
cjuently the bridge was carried away by
high water and ice, and the suit was brought
to recover damages from the Vermont Con
struction Company, allegingdefeotlve work
manshin by the latter iu counectiou with
the bridge masonry. The case will prob
ably go to the supreuae court on exceptions.
The tirst trial case brought againstthe
Central Vermont railroad for damages aris
ing out of the fatal railroad disaster at Hart
ford, a little over two years ago, began at
Burlington Monday, May l.'i. The suit is
brought by the administrator of the estate
of ,f. A. Stone of Burlington, who was
kllled in the disaster, and the amount
c laimed is 990,000. The matter of the road's
HabiUtv is thus brought to test for the tirst
time: but there have been tnany claims be
side this one prcsented. Some of the ablest
lawyers in the state have been at work on
the case, and the plalntlff has the di'iii
tions of geventy-nve witneaaea to oiTer.
Colonel A. A. Hall of St. Albans opened
the oaae for the plalntlff, and was followed
by Attorncy Hard of Burlington. The lat
ter made a stateuient coneerning the nmve
ments of Mr. Stone, and claimed that the
railroad company was resnousible for the
accident, on account of the iusuilicienoy of
the road-bed, poorly constructed cars,
Improperly eqiiipied traiu and negli
gence on the part of the employes. 0. W.
Witters of St. Albans opened the case for
the defense, and said they would be able to
show that the road-bed at the bridge was
especially perfect, that the cars in the 111"
fated train were substantially built and
equlpped with the moat approved appll-
ances and that the train men were trUlt
worthy and experienced men. The jiresi
dent and vioe-prealdent of the toad were
preaent at the opentng of the case, and the
trial will last at least two weeks, and prob
ably longer. The court and jury visited the
scene of the disaster at Hartford last week
Friday.

a dose or two of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
might have cured at tne eommencemcnt. It

Swift's Specific is a simple vegetable com
pound, prepared from roots gathered freshly
from the forest, aud contains nothing of tho
mlneral kingdom, or any poisonous sub
stance, or any article at all which cotues
from tlie chemist's laboratory.
The formula of the reiuedy was obtained
from the Creek Iudiaus iu Middle Georgia,
by reliable white men, who had witnessed
the wonderfnl cures made by that tribe of
Indians of blood diseases. Mr. Hugh I..
Dcnnard of Houstou county, Georgia, be
gan using Swift's Specific iu IHL'0, and con
tinued its use all of his life, and asserted
that he had never known it to fail to cure
any case of scrofula, blood taint or centa
gious blood poison. This testimony has
been corroborated every day for years. The
preaent company was formed in 1879, and
has siuee made known to the world the
virtue of Swift's Specific, and to-day it is
sold iu every city, towu and couutry store
all over America, Great Britain and many
other portious of the world.
I have seen Swift's Speciflo used, and
know of many cases of the worst form of
blood diseases which have been cured by it
I know thc proprietors to be gentlemen of
the highest type and utniost reliability. I
recommend it aa a great blood reniedy, un
equaled by anything that I know of.
