Camus Around. In the United States court which was held at Montpelier last week the first case tried was that of the United States vs. William Mayne. It was short and unimportant. The respondent was indicted for taking a letter from the postoffice at Danville while he was acting as clerk in the store in which the postoffice was kept.

Bessie Hancock, the sole witness for the government, testified that she deposited a letter in the postoffice, duly addressed and stamped, on a certain day, and the day after, while. she and the respondent were engaged in a friendly scuffle, the letter dropped from his pocket. The respondent testified that there was nothing to the story as told by Miss Hancock and that he never took the letter from the office. George Goslant, of Walden, to whom the letter was addressed, testified that he received the letter in the due course of the mail at about the time it should have arrived if it had been mailed at the time Miss Hancock said it was, but could not say whether it was one or two days after that time.

Deafness is caused bus an inflamated condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh. Send for circulars; free. F.
