AMERICAN HEIRS TO ENGLISH ESTATES. -
Hon. a. D. Hager, the Vermont Commission
er to the Paris Exposition, has been investi-
eating the prospects Of American heirs to GER
tain large estates in England, and does rot
make very encouraging report. He writes
home az follows:
"a short time before leaving FeImonl a.
tended meeting OF the Wilson family as
it was called at Essex Junction. From repre-
sensations then and there made, | was Inclined
to believe that real estate Of much value mlght
be obtained by the Wilson's Of America, hers
of one Robert Wilson, Earl OF WARWICK
who, many years since, died in England, leaV-
ing large property.
From inquiries which [ made when l landed
| am satisfied that there is not the least posi-
BILE chance for any Wilson in America 10 ever
get an acre Of land or dollar i'll money from
this source, nor will the Jennings heirs be
more fortunate than the Wilson's. do not
propose to enter into discussion OF the q1ts
ton, but give it as my opinion that every one
who has paid dollar for scrip, or tor the
investigation of these claims, had bslte1
charge it Immediately 10 ''proht and loss;
and make no more nge stments in these worth
less schemes

ministrations of the defunct Copfederacy 1t

some parties are indicating a desire to
