The Jumel Esta te-End Of q Remark
able Suit.


The famous Jumel will case, which has occu.
pied 80 much of the time of our courts for the
past six or seven years. terminated yesterday
in verdict for the defendant, Mr.. Nelson
Chase. The plaintiff in the suit thus ended
was George Washington Bowen, who claimed
to be a natural son Of the deceased Madame
Jumel, and as such entitled to share of the
property she left, under q law of tho State
of New York which entities o natural child
to inherit from the mother. The verdict
is q broad one, and will put q stop to other
speculative suits which would, no doubt, have
followed had the result of the trial been diff
ferent The jury found for the defendant on
the merits and added besides supple
mentary or additional verdict finding that
Eliza B. Jumel had no interest in the lands
claimed as hers at the time of her death.
which was descendable to her heirs. Mr..
Charles O'Conor was the counsel for the de-
PENDANT Chase, and his devotion to the cause
and the great ability displayed in its manage
ment have added to the laurels previously
won bv the veteran leader of the New York
bar
Madame Jumel died in 1865, and the litiga-
tion over the estate commenced Immediately
thereafter. A compromise was made with the
original contestants of the will by which, for
the sake of eHecting settlement, certain be.
quests under former instrument were paid
by the executor. As the property involved is
valued at from four to Ave million dollars it
might have been anticipated that ef-
forts would be made to secure some
portion of it, at least, by all who
could present even o desperate claim to
heirship In the present Bowen suit there
had been previous trial ending in dis
agreement of the jury. Prior to the COM
mencement of this suit there was o former
case in which Champlain Bowen, a member Of
the same family, was plaintiff and in that
there was also q verdict for the defendant,
Chase The trial now closed commenced OF,
December Q, before Judge Shipman and
special jury and has extended over three
months with very slight in.ermission. Both.
Judge and jury have given the case their close
and unwearied attention. We presume the
litigation may now be regarded as ended
The verdict was based upon the evidence and
the law, and will meet general approval.

q Small Fruit Garden.

& Small Fruit Garden.
The owner OF a new village place
proposes to plant halt an acre to
fruits to supply his family, and wish
es to know how he can make the
most of this ground-what to plan.
and how to arrange it.
In the first place, we must deter
mine, in general way, about what
will be suitable for a limited space,
1t will not do to occupy it with large
trees, such as standard apple trees,
or even cherry trees, as commonly
grown. lie can plant dwarf apple
trees, and perhaps some OF the small
err growing standards il he keeps
them within bounds, which few
would do. The fruits which would
be best adapted to this halt acre,
would be the following:
Strawberries, cur rants, raspberries,
blackberries and gooseberries-all
small. and giving fine supply
through summer. For autumn fruit
plant dwarf apples, dwarf pears, and
craps. The two last named VIII give
a good supply for winter; but winter
apples may be best bought in mar
ket, as there would not be space
enough for the Ballwins, Greetings
Russets Swaars, Red Canadas, &c
What is the best arrangement 70,
the ground This will depend on
the manner of intended cultivation
Very few owners in this country will
want to spade the whole, or want to
keep it clean entirely by hand cul
ture. II the inquirer has horse, he
can keep the garden i'll order at a
moderate expense by using the cul.
tivator or harrow. For this pur,
pose, the trees and plants should be
set in rows extending across the
grounds, with wide alley or space
at each end for the horse to turn up
on. Every thing, even the straw.
berries, could then be cultivated by
the horse. II equally convenient,
the rows should run the longer way
of the garden, when it is oblong in
shape. which would permit turning
less frequently, and would require
shorter alleys at the end.
Tho number OF each for the half
acre may be about as follows: Four
square rods of strawberries, 400
plants; so currant bushes; % black
berries; 80 goosebcrries; so rasp
berries; ~ grapes; 6 cherry trees; 6
plum trees; IL drawt pears OF sum
mer and autumn sorts, and 20 winter
varieties; II dwarf apples, mostly OF
summer aud autumn varieties. In
addition to these, few trees may be
added OF small growing standard
pears and apples, to be kept In half
standard form by pruning, half a
dozen peach trees, well shortened in.
BY planting all the preceding at the
distance laid down in the books, the
owner will about fill out bis half
acre garden. We make no allow
ance for garden vegetables betw cen
the rows, as they can be grown to
advantage only while the trees are
small, alter which they do better by
themselves, leaving the fruit garden
to be wholly occupied Ivy the fruit.

Odessa Wheat.

Mr.. Oliver Darlymple, the great
Minnesota wheat farmer, gives high
praise to the Odessa wheat, OF which
he has raised three crops. He says
il has yielded three to five bushels
per acre more tan the Scotch, fife,
or other varieties that he has grown.
Its weight, per bushel, has been from
two to three pounds more. 1t stands

could not afford to raise Fife rather
than Odessa without a premium OF
from l6 TO 20 cents per bushel. lie
began with so acres as an experiment,
but this year sows nothing else. Mr..
Dalrsmple has made large amount
of money in wheat growing and ID en-
,huslastic on the subject. He closes
his article in the farmers Union, from
which we condenso the above; with
the following:
