one child. 1t appeared that no inventory Of the
property having been FLED when the legal limit had
expired, Surrogate G. ]. Tucker adopted certain

ter might be properly complied with. IL w. alleged
that after fling the inventory General Butler had

ANOTHER QUARANTINE WAR.

The SepOys Again ArOuseds
considerable excitement has prevailed at Tomp-
kinsville, s. T., for few days past in consequence
Of an attemnt to enclose fty feet OF the srees
leading from the drst landing within the limits Of
the Quarantine grounds.
The old wall enclosing the grounds was built some
fifty years ago. and has always been regarded as the
boundary OF the Quarantine domains; at any rate It
served until "the Sepoy war" to enectuay sh ut
out the ''outsde barbarans,"u 1t dii not shut In
pestilence and contagion. Some months slnc,, how
ever the property was sold, and the new purchasers
finding that 1t might be necessary eventually to
run street through the same, and being unwilling
TO renquish land for this purpose without an equiv
aent have concluded to take enough from the street
to make IL up. There Is little doubt that the land
originally formed portion OF the grounds set apart
by the state for quarantine purposes, but 1t has
been regarded as public highway for nearly or
quite fifty years, and the state law is explicit on
this subject
AT any rate 1t is evident that these land grabbers
will not be allowed to appropriate 80 much Of this
important thor0ughfare without having the matter
contested. At meeting OF the Board Of Village
Trustees on Thursday resolution was passed
directing the removal OF the work commenced By
the claimants but the citizens forestaed the author

all the posts had been removed and the holes filed
