ESTATE OF TIE LATE ALEXANDER LoRMAN.
-Iu the Circuit Curt for Baltimore city, Judge
Pinkncy, bill was flied Thursday by Edward
Otis Huxley, e,q, counsel for Edward Roberts
and DR.. John Ii. Patterson, trustees under the
will of Alexander H. L)rman, for the settle
ment of their trusts Mr. Lormau left an estate
worth over million dollars, and after deyoting
a large portion oft to public charities and some
specific egacics, gave one half ofthe rest to the
six children Of his late uncle. William FuIford,
of Hartford county, namely, Eleanor, Elizabeth
Avcrilla, Sally. Henry and Alexander L., be-
ing the maternal cousins OF the testator, for
their lives, respectively, and then to their chill
dren. He gave the other half to the children
of his aunt, Ann Chancellor, widow of the late
George Chancellor, Of Spotsyvania county Va,
for their lives, respectively, and then to their
children. From the number of the cousins,
there being six of the FuIfords and ten Of the
Chanccors, there arc in the next generation a
very large number Of persons entitled, so that
there are ninety-tour persons named as deten-
dants in the bill, comprising all persons now liv-
ing who are interested 10 the estate.
The trustees have filed report for adivison
Of the real estate, (cmbracug only the fee-sim-
pie, )bcing little over two hundred thousand
dollars, and the personal estate yet remains in
the hands of the executors Francis H. King
and Edward Roberts, and in due time will be
handed over to tie trustees. The trustees
state that they have sold the old mansion and
lot corner to the Central Savings Bank of Balt,
more for fifty thousand dollars. The bill is FL
ed primarily for division of Mr.. Lormau's
estate, but the complainants say also that at
the foot of any order or decree for division
they will ask for settlement ofall their trusts,
to save the trouble aud expense Of new bills for
that purpose, the parties being very numerous

its control immediately succeeding the war, and

roads of the State, withou. rejecting on the
management which has controlled them, have
found it necessary to make some change in
their gOverument-to substitute some more
cconmical, or at any rate more judlclous sys-

says:-"We have in Virginia, along with our
fertile fields, great deal of exhausted, appa-

" worn out, since that term would imply the
utter impossib!lity of restoring its producing
capacity. In many, nay, in nearly all cases,
these exhausted lands are kind, as we say; still
have valuable properties latent in them, and
can be recovered and made productive by a
iudicious system Of farming. The intelligent
apriculturists, who can make analysis of his soil
aud ascertain what it needs, will be able to re-
claim field after field, (tor all cannot be done at

EXTRAVAGANZA IN LIVING. London
Times, at the close of the London season.
takes occasion to preach homily against the
present extravaganza in living all over the
world, but especially in England. That jour
nal says the most universal fact Of the day Is
the rise in the scale Of living and that survey
it, measure it, test it as you WILL it Is Migrant,
iulisputably, dangerous. In the course OF its
comments, the Times says:-"lt Is not beef
aud mutton, bread, butter, Goals, and such
matters that make the cost Of modern house
holds. Nor is it from the people who count
the cost of these things that the cry comes
Substantially, the complaint is one aud the
same, and it is not much exaggeraton to say
that the posscssors Of $500 year complain
that they cannot live like the possessors of
$4,000 year, and the posSessors of $4,000
year that they are eclipsed and beaten by those
who have 100000 year. They will not be
content with lower class of mansion, or with
u less fashionable quarter. But what is the
religion Of the day about, and. what the pulpit
to say to this? Time was when it was rather
hard on the excuses and discontcnts Of the
rich as we'll as Of the poor, and called it all
worldlincss. Now -a-days, wealth is worshipped.
1t is not told to be content, and to be thankful
for what the passing day requires These
remarks are as applicable to the people Of
