A case of more than ordinary, interest
was decided last week at Sutton. A Mrs
Percival obtained judgement for $2,59S

causing the death of her husband, Percival,
who was about sixty years of age, took in
the saloons ot button on a winter's dav
three years ago, and in the evening started
for home, three miles distant in a heavy
snow storm. He was intoxicated, and no
doubt fell down and died from cold. He
was found frozen stiff next morning a
short distance from his home. This
decision carries out one of the wise pro
visions of the Slocumb liquor law, which
makes all saloon keepera liable for any
damages resulting from the sale of intox
icating liquors.

A violent agitation of the Chinese ques
tion has broken out in Augusta, Georgia,
since the publication of the recent out

several years the Celestials have been
flocking thither. They have prospered

further immigration. The feeling runs,
