MODEL MANNER OF SETTLING A LARGE
EsrArr.-Seth Thomas, of Plymouth Hol-
low, Conn, left ut tho time Of his decease,
eighteen months ago, property worth fiom
s400 900 to $500, 000, and six children, who
were his heirs. There was no will, and
the estate descended in the legal manner
to tho children equally. They consulted
no lawyers, began no scramble, but mutu :.
ally agreed upon two judicious men, and
employed them to divide the property in
to six portions, as nearly equal in value as
could be. This done, the portions were
put at auction among them, each buy
ing a portion, and the premiums again
were equally divided.

How TO KILL WORMS AT THE RooTs
OF PEACH TREES. Remove the earth
TO the depth that the worms usually
penetrate. Then take about a pound
of unsiacked lime, and mix it with
the earth removed from the tree
root, and pack the mixture into the
excavation around the tree then
pour water upon tho mixture, in
sufficient quantities to Stake the
lime. The heat, together with the
corrosive quality of the lime, will
destroy every worm, without inju-
