SiusuIar Case and Decisiop.

A curious case was tried in the Court OF Pro-
bate of North Providence, Il. wherein GER
tain parties, relatives of the res pendent, prayed
that some suitable person might be- appointed
guardian over his estate. The respondent Is an
old gentleman. who is well known, and who,
through a long life OF industry and self. denial,
has accumulated a large property, mostly in
real estate. He is seventy-six years of age
The evidence of the petitioners went to show
that the respondent had, at one time, dem anded
rent of tenant after IL had been once paid;
that at another time he watered his horse in the
afternoon of certain day, forgetting that he
hsd watered him in the morning Of the same
cay: that at another time. when he and his fam
lily were going down the river" he forgot the
time the cars started; at another time be gave
one of his family SIS to pay for the hire Of
a horse and carnage, and did not ask for the
at another time he let his (secOnd) wife have
a burial lot for one Of her children
that bad died, and received for ii only
$40. when IL was worth something more
at another time be asked man twice about the
construction % pair of steps; that at another
time hs made out a rent bill for $3.50 when it
ought to have been 5000, and lost 50 cents
The respondent showed that he had been care
ful Of his property; that the petitioners were
the only persons who had red ced its amount
in any material way, as IL had been spent for
their education and establishment in business;
ard he declared that they were hanging about
him like vultures, determined to share his
properiy-which is considered-without wait
ing for ceatb, and that the pending attempt to
dtvest him Of the care OF his affairs was caused
by his refusal 10 turn over that property TO Pc
titioners by deed Of trust, or in some other
manner. The court, greatly to the public sur
prise, appointed a guardian, but the matter
created much public interest and sympathy for
the old man

tudrs OF Welded Life

German woman with a number Of names,
tine right TO one OF which is TO be adiudIclted
upon, appeared before one of the justices of the
peace in Erie, and made application for ii writ
OF ,. pierip. ana search warrant, and in the
course OF the conversation which ensued, the
following romantic story came oui: Her
maiden name'was Katrina Flecht. At the age
CT seventeen, she married, in Germany, a man
Damed Aiweise Derr. In the course of Il year
her husband died, leaving her destitute and
with an infant girl she soon after came TO
AmeIica, leaving her daughter behind with
some friends. In 1859 she sent for her child
and married man named Rosenbaum,
all her money, about $1,000, with him.
In the course OF a month or two after, her
daughter sickened aud died, and once more the
poor woman was left alone. She, however.
Kept on working, and devoted her earnings 10
the pay ment of detectives TO look up the mis-
sing ROseubaum. They failed, however, and
finally becoming persuaded by a New York
lawyer that her last marriage was void under
the New York laws, because it had been per-
formed according 10 the Catholic rites, she
ceived the advances of Plus Reible, and for the
third time in her life became wife. Rsible,
however, did net deport himself az u good hus-
band should. and his wife, becoming q isgu sted,
hacked mp her things went back 10 New
York. Hardly had she arrived there before
she was arrested on the complaint OF Rosen-
baum, who bad turned up again, for ogamy.
Afer beng incarcerated in the TombS for
several days she was released on a writ of Ia
AeGs corpus. Her troubles had been too much
LOT her. however, and she became insane. and
was taken TO BLACKWELL. Island, where she
was an inmate OF the asylum Tor year aud a
half Beng finally cured, she was discharged.
only to find that ReIble had robbed her house
Of everything valuable and moved il TO Erie.
She followed after him TO get back her things,
ard for that purpose obtained the writs spoken
Of above. In company with an officer she
visited Reible's and not only obtained her
goods, but the arrested of her truant husband.
He threatens 10 have her arrested for bigamy,
90 that 1t would appear that her troubles ara
not yet over. 1t would be hard to imagine a
case in which great number Of vIcissitudes,
all of the evil order, could De crowded into the
