Will Broken--Thc Great Halves Case In San
is Francisco.

I'D The Halves will case, just concluded in
San Francisco, deserves to rank as q cause
celebre. Horace Halves, testator, was an
eccentric old man, who died about a year
ago, leaving fortune of more than two
millions, the bulk of which was devised to
found university. The site Of the pro-
posed building and grounds was fixed at
Mont Eagle, one of the choicest spots in
the Santa Clara valley, where the deceased
owned a great estate. The university was
to include several colleges, in which vari-
ETY. of industrial sciences were to be taught,
great prominence being given to that of
agriculture; but the whole fund was tied
up with such ridiculous provisos, stipula-
tons and conditions as to perfectly value
less. urt1 ks ..
The best lawyers were of the opinion
that the property of the erratic testator
would eventually go to his heirs, as pro-
vided in his will, on account of the inability
of the State and trustees to carry out the
cumbrous conditions with which his estate
was burdened. Halves had been an abu-
unnaturally deprived his wife and children
of anything but the smallest possible pit
lance from his great property. Mrs.
Halves contested the will ON the ground of
her husbands insanity, and during the long
trial which has just closed, it was proved
that the deceased millionaire was, to use
the mildest expression, a monomaniac, his
chief anxiety being that of coming to pow
erty or dying by poison.
The jury decided in favor Of tho widow,
who gains for herself and children great
fortune. The deceased miser, if he could
look back and see how his wire-drawn and

AN important decision was made in Bos-
ton last week, which is reported as follows
By the Herald !: se
In the case of w. p. Brooks & Co., fur
niture dealers of this city, VS.. John Flem-
ing, a resident of the Highland district, and
lessee of furniture, which was alleged to
have been purchased by installments, it
seems the defendant did not keep faith with
the parties of whom he purchased the fur
niture. An attempt at seizure was made
by the firm, whose agents were prevented
from accomplishing their object, and only
received maltreatment for their pains. The
case came into court yesterday afternoon
before Judge Wheelock, at the Highland
district, who decided in favor of the de-
PENDANT. He regards the attempt at seizure
by the plaintiff illegal, and the lease under
which it was made fraudulent. The deci-
sion is an important one, particularly to
holders Of leased furniture, as all seizures
of that kind have heretofore been made upon
simple demand, and not by due process of
law.

LEAD EXCITEMENT IN ILLINOIS AND
excitement growing out
Of the recent discoveries Of lead at Rosa
Clare, ILL.,, is almost equal to the old Cali
fornia lead fever lands, and stocks are
changing hands at fabulous prices. Ken
lucky, it seems has an equally rich deposit
of lead opposite the Illinois mines. We
hear that some Eastern capitalist recently
commenced prospecting on the lands Of a
Mr.. Barnett, near Carrsville, and after a
few days work were successful in finding
lead, which bids fair to equal the Rosa
Glare deposit, but have had legal notice
to stop further operations, as a gentleman
by the name Of Trabue holds mineral
lease on the lands executed over twenty
years ago. The existence of this lease was
news to Mr.. Barnett, but, on finding that
it did exist. he proposed to release the lease
by purchase. Our Information is that Mr..
'Trabue asked 100000 for his privileges.
One can hardly imagine what must have
been the feelings Of disappointment to Mr..
Barnett, having, as he thought, become the
possessor of sufficient wealth for all world
ly purposes, but vanished at sight of this
old and, to him, unknown, document
