More Excitement.
A telegram reached here few days since,

Alex. McGregor had been obtained in the
courts of New York. This telegram was
soon magnifed into ga final settlement" of the
question of title. and much talk was had. In
the meantime Mr.. James McGrcgor Jr., the
contestant, caused notices to be served on
many Of our citizens, claiming title in such
notices, and ordering tenants to leave in 30
days or incur law suit. We understand these
notices arc only given to protect what "Uncle
James" regards as right necessary to him in
future litigation with the ."heirs.S The
"casc" is not ended by this decision. Ten or
fifteen years more may roll their suspense
about our heads, aad yet there IL time for
