The RICH BETsEY FARMER.-This eccen-

Hampshire Supreme Court last week, left an
estate of some $4,000, the greater part of
which she inherited from her father; and be-
ing of a penurious disposition, reduced her
expenses to pitiful standard, having regard
to the accumulation of her estate rather than
her personal comfort. Her latter days were
charac erized by the most rigid abstemious.

scanty to meanneess, her table such as abso-
Lutte hunger alone could endure. Sac might

neighbors calling only at long intervals
Graspng with great tenacity to life and prop

tributing her property among some sixty rela-
tiyes and friends, some Of whom are in needy
circumstances. 1t would appear from the tes

possessed of a mind of unusual strength and
discrimination The will is disputed by Dan.

is broken the whole estate passes to him-upon
the ground that undue influence was exercised
in obtaining the will that it was accomplished

mesmerism, psychology or ventriloquism, inn
posed ON Betsey. On the other hand, the

feet gale at the time, and the cries of the suf.
ferers were not heard, although but a few rods
from the dwelling house of Mr.. Wheeler Mr..
