An IMMENSE Misunderstanding to
The Cumberland (Md,) AHeganian, an
old man named John Brobst, living in tho
Glades, in that county, recently discovered
that he was the rightful owner of large
tract Of land in the richest mineral region
in Pennsylvania, underlaid with immonse
seams of coal and iron, and valued at 49,
100000. Brobst, it is said, livod on the
land fifty years ago, became involved
through his brother, mortgaged his property
to its then full value, and camo to Maryland,
whore he has ever since lived in INDECENT
circumstances. The property subsequently
passed into the hands of his nephews, who
afterwards sold it to wealthy company.
Tho difficulty Of giving good tito to the
property led to tho fact that Brobst was
still alive. He was search out, found, and
taken on to Pennsylvania, and according
to The AHeganian, has sold out all his
right for tho sum of S2,6oo,000.
