never completely finished. The building contain
ed fifty four apartments and was richly adorned
with fine tapestry, which was torn from the walls
and sold at the auction with the other furniture.
The walls were decorated with some fine paint
ings by Snyders, of animals, fruit pieces, &c,
and in one room was shown bed, the furniture
| of which was said to have been lined with the
shirts of King William III, the godfather of
William Jennens. Notwithstanding the regular
descent of the property, bill was filed in chan
Gerry In 1910, by several persons OF the name OF
/ Jennens and Lord Beauchamp cited to bring
the administration into court The Jennens par
ty denied the interest of Lord Beauchamp and
Lady Andover, asserting themselves to be cousins
german thrice removed but did not set forth their
own interest as paramount to that of Lord Beau
champ, the surviving administrator The court
held that "a person IN possession OF an admins
tration is not bonnd to PROFOUND his interest till
the party calling in question the grant has first
propounded and proved his" The administration
has been in undisturbed possession for twelve
years, and as the Jennens had no interest to set
forth, they instituted no further suit, and that
has been the extent Of the litigation in respect of
the property. Lord Howe, having another seat,
did not reside at Acton Place, and the hall fell
into decay. The courts became overgrown with
grass and weeds, and in 1925 Lord Howe offered
the estate for sale and ordered the hall to be de-
molished. AS late as 1852 the English journals
gave publicity to statements to the effect that
John Martin, of Maldon, had fallen heir to the
Jennens property. The story arose from the fact
that gentleman Of that name, quite advanced in
years, who had faneied himself the rghtful heir,
called to London to sign some instrument,
and thinking that by his signature he had secured
the estate he gave it out to the journals. But it
was Immediately contradicted, have been SINH
lar statements made subsequently, and notwith-

AN ESCAPE FROM JAIL. ?

/ L. s. Strange who was confined in the Jail at
| this place, made his escape on Tuesday of last
week under circumstances which entities him, or
his better half or both to the character Of more
than ordinarily shrewd persons. To their wits and
the wife's petticoats, he was indebted for his de-
| livery. Mrs Strange came down to see him day
or two before, and on being conducted to his room,
ard having bundle in her hand, remarked
that she had broughta new suit for Mr. Strange
She stayed with him over M ght and it was under
stood throughout the Jail that Mr. S. was quite
sick-so sick as to be unable to leave his bed!
Mrs SIS, grief and sympathy for her sick husband
was remarked, and operated, doubtless, upon the
feelings of our worthy Sheriff and his family
Tuesday morning she had her vehicle got in readi
| ness to start home; the Sheriff when called un-
locked the door of her husbands for her, Gas
he supposed) to pass OUT but just here they were
performing the crowning act of the programme
and which if successful would relieve the suffer-
ings of Mr. S. by treating him to a drive in the
fresh and open air. 1t was he who passed out in
stead of the lady, dressed in her apparel from tip
to toe veied and a handkerchief to her face, as
she would naturally have to smother the tears con-
sequence upon parting with her sick husband
He reached the carriage in safety, and the boy be-
ing in the secret, drove off with what expedition
he could Mrs s. remained in the room and was
found in bed few hours after by some OF the at
tendants, initiating the groans of the sick man.
She was not then detected; and later In the day.
when she supposed he had sufficient time to
escape, she acquainted the Sheriff with the trick
that had been played. Immediate, but unsuccess-
full efforts were made to arrest the fugitive. His
figure, in height and build, corresponds well with
his wifes, and the trick was so adroitiy managed
that it was calculated to impose upon any one );
even experienced detective might have failed to
recognise the figure in whalebone and petticoats,
as the sick man who was in bed a few minutes
before.
Mr. Strange was confined in civil cause, in
volving considerable amount of property and
with which several persons in this district are in
some way connected.
Subsequently and what knocks somewhat of the
out of the affair, after the Sheriff posse
had given up the pursuit as fruitless, Mr. Strange
voluntarily comes up and asks to be again conduc-
ted to his old quarters in the Jail. Whether he
was induced to do this from compunctions of con-
science, knowing that the Sheriff might be held
liable for whatever losses parties mil ght sustain by
his escape; whether attachment of his goods
and chattels which was instituted Immediately
subsequent to his escape, induced him to believe
that it might be to his interest to stay, matters
upon which VIC are not informed. - .

A CANDID DEACON.

Deacon NJ was an honest old codger, a kind,
oblging neighbor, and good church-gOng
Christian, believing in the Presbyterian creed to
the fullest extent; but, alack-a-day! this pillar of
the church was, at times, little 'shaky Yin fact,
the deacon would, occasionally, get exceedingly
'Emellow;" and almost every Sunday after dinner,
he would indulge in his favorte cider brandy to
such an extent that it was with some difficulty he
reached his pew, which in the broad aisle,
near the pulpit, and between the ministers and
village squire's One Sunday morning the parson
told his flock that he should preach sermon to
them in the afternoon, touching many glaring sins
that he grieved to see so conspicuous among them;
and that he hoped that they would listen attentvely,
and not finch if he should happen to be severe
The afternoon came and the house was full Every
body turned out to hear their neighbors "dressed
down" by the minister, who, after well opening his
sermon, commenced on the transgressors in loud
voice with theqnestion-HW here is the drunkard|
A solemn pause succeeded this inquiry when up
rose Deacon NJ, with his face radiant with copious
draughts of his favorite drink at his noontde meal
and stcadying himself as well as he could by the
pew rail- looked up to the parson and replied, in
piping and tremulous voice-"Here / am" Of
course, a CONSERVATION amongst the congregation
was the result of honest deacons response; how
ever, the parson went with his remarks as he
had written them, commenting severely upon the
drunkard, and winding up by warning him to for
sake at such evil habits if he would seek sal
walton and fee the coming wrath. The deacon
then made bow and seated himself again. "And
now" out spoke the preacher-man in his loudest
tores 'wherc is the hypocrite"
A pause-but responded. Eyes were
turned upon this and that man but the most
glances were directed to the Squire's pew, and in
deed the parson seemed to squint hard in that di-
recton. The deacon saw where the shaft was lev
eled, and rising more, leaned over the pew
rail to the Squire, whom he tapped on the shoul-
der, and thus addressed-"Come, Squire, why
don't you get up; did when he called me- -

MINISTER'S WIvEs.-One of our exchanges
proposes the somewhat alarming inquiry, "whether
ministers wives long lived those Of other
mcn|' 1t mentions an instance, that the wives
oftwelve ministers ofits acquaintance died young"
and several years observation goes to confirm the
impression that ministers wives generally die
prematurcly. Another newspaper in taking up
the subject, says that in addition to the ordinary
domestic duties of ministers wives large part
of the duties discharged by the husband in ether
cangs, is necessarily devolved upon them; more
over the financial embarrasments which so frequently
press upon a minister's family, tend to touch the
kcencst susceptibilities of the wife

of Washington's papers, has developed fact here,
which will be brought to light at no distant day.
An original correspondence is in existence, show

EFFECT OF VIOLENT PoIIrIcAL AGITATION
Letters from Kansas say that the political agita-
ton in the territory has so absorbed the attention
of the squattcrs, that they have neglected their
crops and private affairs and so exhausted their
means, that large portion of them will be unable
to pay for their land before it will be offered for
sale under the proclamation of the President.
Many of those who unable to pre-empt will lose
their lands, and will have endured their sacrifices
and labored in vain to secure home. People
must pay the penalty offoy The political dcma-
lent excitemcet, the people everything to lose.

TEIEGRA Improvement followsfmproNe-
incnt in this wonderful field of science. Edward
IIighton, Civil Engineer Of England, has recently
obtained, patent for, first, sending teiegraphie
messages both ways through one and the sameswire
at the instant, without in any way interfering
with each other secondly for preventing The
distinction of wire in the sea or under ground;
and thirdly, for mending telegraphic wire in
mid-ocean without raising il out of the mud. New
telegraphic instruments have also been constructed
intended for the of railroads, fire alarms and
police stations The instrument is fixed in snlaH
box provided with dial dpointer The alphabet
is marked on the dial, and around the latter keys
arranged in circle A merit claimed for this
invention is, that any person, without previous
experience, can readily forward and receive mes
sases On tonching key, the pointer moves to
the corresponding letter on the dial The power
employed electricity and all cIockwork machinery
is dispensed with. An ordinary ticket agent,
conductor or engineer, any person who can read,
