A CURIOUS WILL CAsE.-A woman worth
$40, 600 died recently in Bath, Me-, leaving
her only daughter $500 year. The latter
entered suit TO trcak the will on the ground
Of her mother being spiritualist. The
Jury refused to break the will. The judge
said in his charge Eccentric people are
conscious OF the queer things they say and
do. A person about to make will may
take advice. The influence, to be undue, go
as to avoid a will, must be such and so eXer-
cisei as il effect to destroy the freedom of
the testator's will so as TO render the act
more the offspring Of another's will than
his own. This same rule applies whether
the influence is exerted by personal pre-
sence or by q letter from distance; and
the rule is the same whether the letter
comes from a husband in an absent coun-
try, or what Is the same thing, if she be-
lieyes she receives & communication from
the spirit world. If she yields her own
will, judgment, and free agency, it would
lot be her will if she did not abandon
them to the supposed wishes Of her hus-
band, but received it as advice, then it
would be her own will. The same rule ap-
plies to spiritual communications on this
point, if believed, as to advice from a living
1eTgOl.n
