The Rarfls, &c.
The Baltimore County Court has been occupied
about two weeks in the trial of will case, which
! developed some curious facts. IL was the will OF
old David Ilutson, who died a short time siac,
and left WILL bequeathing about $4,000 to his
boon companions, and cutting of his blood rea
tons or most of them, with one dollar each The
suit was brought to set aside the will, on the
ground that the testator was not, at the time the
will was drawn and signed, of sound disposng
| mind; that he was exposed TO undue influences
when it was signed; and that the Influences and
| means TO which he was exposed, were fraudulent.
These means were proved TO be several barrels o.
whlskey, and constant watch and guard KEPT
over him until death shuffled him off. The Case
! occupied ten days, and was finally disposed of by
the jury upselting the will, and directing the exec.
| tors to refund all the rents collected
! A dreadful accident occurred yesterday morn.
| ing in the upper part OF the city. Mr. Henry
Smith, a pork butcher, experimenting the
building of a new slaughter house, when the walls
fell and crushed him terribly. He laid in an in
sensible condition up to a late hour last night
letting on the approaching election, has com.
somewhat to stand In this city The democrats
are anxious to lay all their money out on Pennsy!-
vana going for Cass; whilst the wings are ready
10 bet on the general result, but find very few
TO take them up.
Whilst a general speculation is gong Oh with
respect to certain Northern and Western States
that are considered doubtful, Virginia Is generally
regarded ms certain for Cass, and Is allowed To
move along in its regular track, as il Il was alrea-
dy in his breeches pocket. But the fact is IN both
Eastern and Western Virginia, the wings arr
working with energy that BODIES great change
in those regions, and confidently anticipate m.
capture OF the citadel. Depend upon il, that :ir-
oinia is one of the doubtful States
