LAND HUNTING One day last week n
gentleman from Michigan was in the Regis.
ter's and Clerks offices here searching for
the location Of Il tract of land supposed 10
be in this county, named ELK Head" Like
all such cases, it is very hard to get such n
version of the claim as would make it fall
and plain to the reader in all its parts. The
main points are, that many years ago three
brothers of the name of Anderson came to
this country from Ireland. Somewhere. on
the then line from Philadelphia to Washing.
ton, they purchased large tract of land,
which is named in certain papers as 90 Elk
Head They were sporting gentlemen and
unmarried Finally, one of them died and
left his share to the two remaining brothers.
one Of whom shortly also died leaving the
other possessor of the whole. This brother
at his death wiled the property to a surviv.
ing brother in Ireland. Here we have to
drop the line Of descent. Recently, how.
ever, the gentleman now engaged in this
search, and who is connected by marriage,
we believe, with the iineal descendants of
the Irish brother, has been made acquainted
with the facts, and has gone 10 work. Those
having the papers in the cause reside in
Canada and the object of the visit here was
to ascertain whether there were any records
that would locate the land. AS far as the
search was carried there was no mention
found Of land by the name referred to above.
AS the heirs in this case reside In n foreirn
country, right by possession will not hold.
1t has been suggested as probable that the
land lies in Chester county. near where the
Big and Little Elk creeks form junction.
Elkton was formerly known ms "Head of
Xix" but We believe the tract of land on
which 1t Is situated was called - Friendship"
so we are not frightened. The case is a
complicated one but there is evidently a
strong belief on the part Of the heirs that
there is property somewhere in the country
that righttully belongs to them.

The Little Robe of White.

BY MRS. S. T. PERRY.
In a rosewood cradle a baby lay; --
It's mother was stitching, stitching away
On a little robe of white, e
One foot on the rocker, she hoped to keep f-
Her trolicsome baby fast asleep,
To finish her work that night.
In every stitch OF the garment she wrought
That loving mother fastened thought
Hopes for that little one
An SMILED on her babe with a happy priue
AS it slept in It's cradle by her side,
Til that little robe was done
Then she folded up the cambria ana lace
And kissed her little ones chubby iaee'
That smiled in its infant gee, .ft..-t
She tossed it up and down IA t men. an ,h, o, ,,oor
SHOW pretty You'll look little babe, when you wear
That new little robe, SAID she
In a rosa-wood coffin the baby lay
ITs mother had wept the night away,
watching its dying breath. 1a.ftysf e.
With it clasped to her breast she prayed to keep
Hes darling by ,om going TO sleep
In the cold, cold arms of death. I'D .4
They buried the babe in the garments Just wrought
Whose every stitch mad hopeful thought M
From that loving mothers sight. l..

In the Saviours arms the baby lay, .4 ...
From It's rosewood Coffin far away,
In the realms of love and light.
The angels garment had folded about .4
It's little form which will never wear out
