John Gilbert, who keeps & plumbing estab- lishment at the corner of Main street and Willow avenue, made an ussignment yester- day afternoon for the benefit of his creditors, W. A. Wood is the assiguce. The terms of the assignment cover the entire stock and fistures, consisting of steam, plumbing, brass and lead goods, steam fitting and well digging goods, pumps and sewer pive, be- sides all book accounts and notes. Accord- ing to his statement, the liabilities are #1,758.15, The failure resultea from a superfluity of bad debts, Mr. Gilbert states that he has been utterly unable to collect money that was owing him from patrons, on account of the general dullness, He thinks that if he had been able to coilect this money he would bave succeeded in meeting his oblizations and have passed over the dull season safely. His creditors kept pressing him, however, and he had to take this way of satisfying them. It was impossible 1o ascertain last ovening what the assets will amount to. A fair stock is on hai and it 1s thought that it, together with the amount of outstanding accounts, will be sufficient to pay nearly all the debts. Doings in District Court.

They allege that a continuance has been asked for by the attorneys for the defendant at every term of court since that of January, 1500, and has cach time been supported by afidavits from physicians stating that tho health of the fendant is such as to render tho trial of the case impossible. They argue from this that the health of the defendant is constantly fail- ing, and that a continuance of the case o an- other term of court will be equivalent to turning the plaintiff out of court altogether, A motion for u continuance was filed in the case of W, F. Crancle vs Charlotte Maish, by the plaintiff, on the ground of a failure of ain depositions to arrive that it is claimed are essential to the trial of the case. A decree was given in the case of M.

We all followed as quickly as we could, says a writer in St. Nicholas, I put on the helmet and Max took the drum, and we let Toddles have the bugle this time because he’d just tumbled down, and he had the hearth-broom, too, so he was all right. We ran into the field and found that the enemy had taken up a strong when Fred position behind the old cannon. (Ours s a real battle-field, you know, and has been there ever since the war). So we formed in line and Fred made a flank movement, meaning to take the enemy inthe rear; but when he heard Fred coming he charged on our line, and Toddles ran away, but Max and I re- treated in good order and formed again behind a rock, and began toshell him with green apples. Ho stopped to eat the apples, and meanwhile Fred com- pleted his flank movement, and falling upon the enemy’s rear, whacked it vio- lently with a stick, waving his flag all the time and shouting: **Yield, caitiff! Yield, craven hound!” (T tell him that nowadays people don’t say those things in war, but he always says that Roland and Bayard did, and that what suited them will suit him). Well, the enemy turned suddenly on Fred, and drvove him back against the cannon; but by that time we had ad- vanced again, and Toddles was blowing the bugle as hard as he could, which seemed to disconcert the enemy. Fred took a flying leap from the cannon right over his buck, and putting himself at our head rallied us for a grand charge. We rushed forward, driving the enemy before us. A panic seized him, and he fled in disorder; we pursued him as far s the fence. and he got through a hole and escaped\ but not before we each had a good whack at him. It was a glorious victory. Fred made usa speech after- ward from the cannon, and we ail waved our—well, whatever we had to wave, and vowed to slay the invader if he ever dared to show his nose on our side of the fonce again, Ah, yes! it was a_splendid fight. **Who was the enemy?”’ Why, didn't I say?

I told him he must pay $2and lose the weapons, At that the little fellow broke down and actually cried. Finally, with the tears streaming down his cheeks, he said: 'O judge, *let me bid 'em good-by Ma giv' ’em tomean’ I can’t go ‘without handlin’ them jes’ once.” I consented, and the moment he got the weapons he straightencd up and, leveling them, yelled: *I'd like tew see the galoot as an get mu's pistols now.
