years ago made oil his arrangements for his bu-
rial. He constructed for himself coffin of the
Cayuga limestone, well finished, the cover set
ting over the sides on q rabbited shoulder, and
bolted together with six-inch bolts, running
through from top to bottom, and secured with
counter sunk nuts. He requested to be buried in
that, with his cloak wrapped around him, and no
minister was to be allowed to come near him.
His coffin weighed one thousand Eve hundred
pounds, and he gave particular directions how to
lower him into the grave. All of his directions
were followed, and by his directions the coffin
was not only bolted, but cemented together so as
to be water tight. ' '-.' '''.-3'

AMERICA AND FoREIGNERs-We have no special
regard for any country but this. Our ancestors
were here long before the Revolution, and were
oil among its most jealous supporters: We see
no other institutions equal to ours, with all our
faults. We would see American literature, Amer
lean industry, American art, fostered and promo
ted by all practical means. But when we are
asked to support invasions, aggressions, subjec-
tons, or the platform of ''Our Country, right or
wrong >" we draw back and resist. We regard
that Us un-American as we'll as ungodly-a revi-
val of the Pagan maxims and notions, which Eu-
rope is outgrowing. In our view it is the first
duty of every citizen to take that his country
is JUST if she is wrong in the sight of Heaven, it is
idle and mad for her to wish to be successful.
When therefore, it is gravely proposed as
Americanism that those who have come hither
from Europe to find a home blest with liberty
and plenty shall be permantly excluded from
political rights here, including the right to be
chosen whenever majority shall see ftto choose
them, we resist the demand as eminently and pro-
foundly un-Amercan as we'll as anti-Republican.
If our political fabric is not one gigantic lie from
foundation to turret, this exclusion is monstrous
and suicidal.-M. Y. Tribune.

NOVEL LAW Surr.--A somewhat romantic suit
at law has just been terminated in Franklin coun-
ty. 1t seems that one JohnLescher became pierced
with the arrow of Cupid, and, wishing to
heal the wound by lawful wedlock, he made pro-
posals to the object of his affections, which, it
seems, she received favorably; but the father,
Mr.. Jacob Wyant, being prudent man, of much
foresight, required the said John Lescher to en-
ter into bonds Of Eve hundred dollars, condition
ed that the said John Lcscher should live with
his wife and treat her as a kind and affectionate
husband should do but the parties, after liv-
ing together some months, separated, and this
suit was brought to recover the amount of the
bond. TheIcase was first tried at the last April
term of the Franklin county court, when Judge
Kimmcl decided the bond to be invalid. The
case was carried to the Supreme Court, and it
was decided that the bond "was good and valid,
and in accordance with the law" The case,
therefore, came up again in the Franklin county
courts, when the jury found verdict for plain
tiff of 1919 rs. The result of this suit may give
a valuable suggestion to anxious fathers whose
daughters are sought as partners at the altar and
On imitation of Mr.. Wyant's forethought, would
show prudent concern for their daughters well

have not attempted regular discussion Of
this ubject. We hope others will take. il
up and that it will find its way into the
Legislature Mt once. The equity of protect,
ing the wife's estate from the husband is
always admitted in England even, and in

coming to the wife from deceased parent
or other source, the courts of clancery in
variably on application decree settlement
OF the wife's estate in such property as has
not already come into the possession of the
husband. The expense OF such applica-

made, and the exceptional aspect which they
present in the community, prevents that
benefit from them which a general law op.
