Thirty Years of Litigation.

case has just been decided i'm the Supreme
Court OF New York involving property worth
nearly a million of dollars, which has been in
litigation for thirty years Away back in 1889
John Mason died, leaving eight children.
Some time before his death his son James had
offended him by marrying a Miss Wheatly, an
act1 ess, and he had settled him on a farm on
and his will left him comparatively small es-
tate for life, with a remainder to his children.
Litigation was begun to set aside this will, and
after the exhaustion of nearly every form OF
litigation the will was finally broken, and James
Mason was declared entitled to One-eighth of
his fathers estate in 1856. The part allotted to
him Included ninety lots near what is now the
Central Park, with other real estate. During
his litigatiOns James j. Ring was his counsel,
and his charges were in all some Sl65 200. After
a settlement of their accounts, Mr.. Ring claim
ed and MIR. Mason conveyed to him forty-tve
of the ninety lots, under what was claimed to
be the old agreement. Soon after this Mr.. Ma
son, who was then advised by Mr.. Cone, as
five lots, and accordingly sent a retainer TO Mr..
Cram, now the defendant. to secure his assist
ance. Mr.. Grams fee was to be "A share in the
lots contingent on the success of the suit FL
nally, in order to raise money, Mason sold a
one-third interest in the lots to Cram. In 1852
Mason died, and his widow instituted suit to re-
cover the lots from Cram, on the ground that
they were obtained without full consideration.
Judge Van Burnt decided in favor of Mr.. Cram
on the ground that the fee was contingent on
the success of the suit that Cram had paid the
taxes and assessments due on the property to
save ii from sale, and that its value at the time
OF the transfer, though greatly increased since
was not so great as to render the transaction a
doubtful one.

The Weather I'm ByxOne Ages.

The late MIR. Babbage, of calculating ma
chine fame, had a singular faculty of suggest
ing avenues to knowledge. We are told 6y one
VINO knew him well that it seemed possible to
MIN to obtain an exact record of the sue
&C Sessaon OF hot and cold years for long periods
IN Dygone ages. His plan was as follows:
Among the stumps of trees in some ancient
forests, he proposed to select one in which
b Sotn the number and the size of the rings that
have been annually produced we're Clearly
marked. He would write down the Succession
OF not and cool summers so marked in this tree
assuming shat the larger the ring in each case,
the hotter hes been the summer. He then pro,
posed to examine other trees of about the same
date, until he found some which recorded a
series of hot and cold seasons, exactly similar
to that which he had already noted down, and
until the series extended far enough for him to
be sure that the resem blance was not acciden-
tai, but that he mad before him q natural regis
yer OF the same seasons which had been record
gu IN the first tree. A some Of these trees
WOULD be somewhat older than the 6rst tree.
Smie others would have survived it, he eonsid-
e Leo, tnat Il would be possible, so to say, to
- oas inc information obtained from one
ues ~ means o. the others; and that after ex-
amining q great Number Of trees, his record or
warm ana cold seasons might be extended AZ
both ends almost indefinitely.
