A MaledictiOn Fulfilled.

In connection with history of the Itch.
borne English manor, which was in the pos
session Of the family 200 years before the
conquest, NJ. d. Conway writes to tho Gin
cinnati COMMERCIAL the following remarkable
story
When the Lady Mabella, worn out with
age aud inhrmity, was on her death-bed, she
besought her loving husband, as a last re.
quest, that he would grant her the means Of
leaving behind her charitable hcquost, in a
dole Of bread to be distributed to all who
should apply for it annually on the feast Of
the annunciation Of the blessed Virgin Mary
Sir Roger, her husband, readily acceded to
the request, by promising the produce Of as
much land as she could 90 over in the vicinity
OF the park while a certain brand or billet
was burning, supposing that from her long
inhrmity, (ior she had been bcdridden some
years. she would be able to 60 round a small
portion only Of his property. The venerable
dame, however, ordered her attendants to con-
vey her to the corner Of the park where, be-
ing deposited on the ground, she seemed to
receive a renovation Of strength, and, TO the
surprise Of her admiriug and anxious lord,
who began to wonder where this pilgrimage
might end, She crawled round several rich
and goodly acres. The field which was the
scene Of Lady Mabela's extraordinary feat
retains the name of " Crawls to this day
II is situated near the entrance of the park
and contains an area Of twenty-throa acres
Her task being completed, she was rcc0nveycd
to her chamber, and, summonng her family
to her bedside, predicted It's prosperity
while the annual dole existed. aud left her
maledctions on any Of her descendants VINO
should be so mean or coyetous as to discon-
tinue or divert it, prophesying that when such
should happen the old house would fall, and
the family name would become extinct from
the failure of heirs male, and that this would
be toretold by generation Of seven sons be-
ing followed Immediately after by genera
ton of seven daughters and no sou. The Gus.
tom thus founded in the reign Of Henry H.
continued to be observed for centuries, and
the 18th of March became the annual festive
day Of the family. 1t was not until the mid
die OF the last century that the custom was
abused when, under the pretence of attend
ing Tichborne Dole, vagabonds, gipsies, and
idlers Of every description assembled from all
quarters, pilfering throughout the neighbor-
hood and at last, the gentry and magistrates
complaining, it was discontinued in 1896,
Singularly enough, the baronot Of the day had
seven sons, and when he was succeeded by the
eldest there appeared generation Of seven
daughters, and the apparent fudllment Of the
prophecy was completed by the change Of the
name of the late baronet to Doughty, under
the will of his kinswoman
