A Curious CIaim%

Mr.. Samuel W. Chambers, of Boone Co.,
KY. is now in this city for the purpose c.
prosecuting heavy claim for real estate
The estate is valued at over 100000
1t consists Of twenty acres Of land in one
of the best parts Of this city, 1t was
granted to. his great eat-great-grandfather by
William Penn in 1899. The deed was in
possession of an ancestor at Chester, when
that town was taken by the British, and
carried to the State archives for safety, and
is now in Harrisburg. Mr.. Chambers
seems to have worked. at the case with
rare fidelity for many years. His great
difficulty has been TO establish his ancestry
by documentary evidence; in this he has
finally succeeded, Heis nowin possession
OF the, marriage certificate of his great
reatjgfandfather, and also of those of ev-
cry one Of the descendants down to that Of
his father. The certificate of -l699is one
drawn in the style peculiar to the Quakers
of those days. A copy of it isin his posses
sion, which is written in "a Bible bearing
date 163f.-stF tFlfiss Bible was printed Shy,
Robert Parker, Printer to the "Kings
Most Excellent Majesty" The Gamblers
family removed from Philadelphia to Del
aware, where many of them now reside
Samuel Chambers is daily authorized to
prosecute the claim for the defendants.
He has employed John w. Stevenson, an
eminent lawyer of Covington Kentucky,
to supervise the business, and consulted
very eminent counsel here. There seems
TO be a very curious provision in the deed
from William Penn, which, taken in con
ncction with still more curious statute of
our State, passed during the Revolution,
in regard to proprietary rights, prevents the
statute of limitations from running against
it. MIR. Chambers designs to prosecute
for its recovery. -PAjladelphia Times,

Striking Providence.

A remarkable instance of attempted
murder, and special providential interposi-
ton, IS related as having recently occurred
in Holland, The facts, as given by the
foreign correspondent of the Evening Press
"a gentleman well known in New YORK,
are as follows:
A man at the Hague, becoming tired of
his wife, attempted to poison her in the
following manner: They had sat down to
dinner, and while she left the room or her
back was turned, he put the poison into her
soup. Not daring to trust himself in her
presence, he feigned some excuse and left
the room. BY a wonderful providence,
when she came to the tableaa spider. bad
dropped from the ceilidg of the room into
toe soup-plate. She was especially afraid
of spiders, and her husband had often laugh
ed at her for it. So she carefully took the
spider out with the spoon, and finding she
could not bring herself to eat after it, she,
in the absence of her husband changed
the plates, and ate his soup. After a
while he came back and devoured what he
supposed to be tie pure soup. He was
Immediately taken with convulsions and
expired. Before death he~-eonfessed that
he had poisoned the sup, and that it must
have been put before him. tfnintentionally,
by his wife. I)SA
Now how narrow lyasthe escape of the
wife, not only from being poisoned, but
from being hung. If The man had died
without confession, the wo4tsan must have
been Immediately arrested. Poison would
have been found in the man, and in the
soup-plate. She, gave him the soup
Here would have been circulnsiantial eyi-
dence strong enough to have hung her, and
an innocent woman would have expired but
for the confession"

BENEVOLENT Women in Hospitals,

In work just published, lirs. Jameson
gives some interesting information relative to
the ministration of females of the educated
classes in hospitals, reformatories, &c, gu the
continent.
During my visit to Paris" writes Mrs.
Jameson, /" visited an hospital which l had
not seen before--thc hospital Laborissiere,
which appeared to me model of all that a
civil hospital ought to be, clean airy, light and
lefty. above ALL cheerful / should observe
that generally in the hospitals served by sisters
of charity, there is ever on air of cheerfulnesS,
caused by their own sweetness uf temper and
voluntary devotion to the work. At the time
visited this hospital, it contained 6l2 patients
300 meE and 3l2 women--in two ranges OF
buildings divided by very pretty garden
| The whole interior management IS entrusted to
| IS trained sisters of the same order as those
who serve at the HoteLDieu. There are be-
sides about 40 servants, men and women--nen
to do the rough work, and male nurses to as
sist in the mems wards, under the superintend-
ance of the sisters There are three physi-
clans and two surgeons in constant attend
ance, steward or comptrollerl of accounts,
and other officers. To complete this picture,
| / must add that the hospital Laborlssiere was
founded BIZ lady, rich heiress, married
woman too, whosc husband, after her death,
carried out her intentions to the utmost, with
re il and fidelity. She had the assistance Of
tho best architects 10 France to plan hcI
!; building medical and scientific men had aided
| her with their counseIs What the feminine
instinct Of compassion had conceived was BY
| the manly intellect planned and ordered, and
again by female aid administered. In all its
arrangements, this hospital appeared to me a
perfect example Of the combined working Of
