Novel win Case--Purgutory in Court.

A novel will ease--in this country at least
has just been decided in the Seneca County
Common Pleas Court 1t was that of Margaret
Handy ct al vs. VIM NJ. johnson, EXT. John
Handy, deceased, made a will III which he be-
queathed a certain amount of property to the
saving of masses in the Roman Catholic Church,
for the benefit of suffering souls in Purgatory.
The plaintiffs filed their petition showing that
they are the heirs at law of John Handy,
deceased, and that when he made his will he
was not capable of making will. They also
claimed, the Tifin Tribune says, that the items
given below are void, and asked that they may
have the property attempted to be disposed of
in these items AT the previous term jury af-
firmed the will At the recent term it was fur
ther heard upon the prayer of the plaintiffs to set
aside the following items of the will:
Sec. "Fifth.' at is my will and hereby de-
wise and bequeath that the balance of the pro-
ceeds of nv said real estate after the five hun
dred dollars aforesaid shall by my Executor be
put and kept at interest," and the interest thereof
annunlly after paying the expenses and charges
in conducting the same shall be applied, first to
the hearing of at least five masses in the Roman
Catholic Church, and service said for the repose
of my soul, and secondly, the balance of said in
terest to the hearing of masses said in said
church for the repose of souls suffering in Pur-
gatory."
Sec. 9th. at is my will that that after my
DEATH my said Executor shall sell and dispose
of my said horses heretofore excepted in such
manner, and at such time as he shall think
proper, and the proceeds of the sale of the same,
insert with, and apply the same as the balance
of the proceeds ofthe real estate as aforesaid"
The Court held that the devise was not to any
one in being, or to the heirs of any one in being
Also that the provisions of the two clauses were
uncertain and not susceptible of execution by
their own provisions. The two clauses were set
aside and the property decreed to plaintiffs.

Earthquake in spain and Portugal.

The papers by the Persia furnish US with the
particulars concerning the severe earthquake
which was felt in Spain and Portugal on the
18th November, and of which only mere state
ment of their occurrence had been received by
the previous arrivals. We abridge the following
details
The earthquake which was felt in every part
of Spain, and was productive of some damage in
almost every city in the South of Spain, though
only five deaths have been reported, has been a
cause of the expression of much religious feel
ing. At Seville, where its effects were more
sensible than in any other city, several public
establishments having received considerable in
jury, professions have taken place with unusual
religious pomp, and the Churches are daily WIS.,
tied by thousands whose piety is stimulated
with the reflection that they may again expert
ence this awful visitation. 1t appears that the
earthquake was so much felt in the principal
markets that all business Immediately stopped,
and hundreds threw themselves on their knees
to beg for the Divine mercy. In some of the
Churches mass was being celebrated at the mo-
ment of the shock, and its different effects upon
the priests was striking. Some stopped terrified,
and could not 90 with the religious ceremony
until the cause of terror ceased, whilst others,
turning to the congregation, chaunted the Di-
vine offices with fervor. The cries of the peo-
pie resounded through the city, and even do
nestle animals showed their terror.

The Political nIee1lng in Washington.


The Washington letter of the 10th to the N
Y Times says:
The proposed meeting of gentlemen friendly
to the election of Mr. Crittenden to the Presi-
dency, which was held here last evening,
brought quite number of politicians to the
city. 1t was designed originally to be an ex-
elusive meeting of gentlemen in opposition to
the Democracy, who do not cooperate with
the Republicans, but several gentlemen were
invited, and present, whose position in the Re-
publican Party is definite.
The discussions of the evening were in ex-
cellent spirit. Everybody declared that he had
sire for the union of all the Opposition forces
against the Democracy. Southern gentlemen
present declared themselves as hostile as
Northern gentlemen to Slavery propagan-
dism, and concurred in the propriety of hav-
ing a Presidential candidate who repre-
sents that sentiment. Some favored the con-
structiOn of a new party, and desired to
issue an Address, but the general sentiment
was against this course. The position of the
Republican Party as a great power was fully
recognized, and decided majority conceded
that It's disorganization would be neither poll
tic nor desirable; that said party has vitality
and force which must be availed of in any ef-
fort TO change or reform the Administration of
the Federal Government. The meeting ad-
journed in excellent temper, without any action
having been decided upon.
The effect of this movement tends towards
the fusion of all sections of the Opposition, up
on whatever ticket shall in due time seem most
likely to achieve substantial victory.
