"One OF the largest estates that ever
fellto American heirs is Just now being
brought into notice, and as one of our
Well.known citizens is an heir, it be-
comes Of no little local interest in this
city. Mr.. w. T. Lawrence, together
with the other heirs, have been at work
ut tho mat ter for the past twenty years,
and yesterday he received a letter from
his attorney, notifying him of satisfac-
tory progress, saying that he may be
shortly called upon to visit England
Mr.. Lawrence has already expended
over, IS, 900 in effecting the present
state of affairs. The William r. Law
renee referred to below was Mr..
Lawrence's fathers grandfather. The
following is Il brief genealogical his.
tory of the estate:
The Townley estate is of many mil
lions in money in the bank of England
and other places, including Corby Cas-
tie. Richard ,Townley, the ancestor
Townly, of Lancaster, owned vast e.
tates which descended through several
generations to Richard Townly, of
Townly Hall, who married Mary, the
daughter CT Lord Warrington, and had
two sons and two daughters
Mary and Dorothy. Mary married John
Lawrence, and Dorothy married Sir
Francis Howard, afterwards Lord En-
fingham, who owned vast estates in
Corby. John Lawrence and Town.
ley, his wife, emigrated to
America about the year 1713, and died
in the State of Massachusetts, leaving
one son, Jonathan. Lord fiingham died
without issue, and his wife became sole
heir to his estate. She died soon after,
leaving her estate to Mary Townley
Lawrence, in America, and by failure
of the male line of Richard Townley
his estate returned to his daughter,
Mary Townley Lawrence, and at her
death it descended to her son, iona.
than Lawrence, OF Walpole, Mass.
and in direct line in the male issue
to William T. Lawrence, of lansing
burgh. D. B. Carver, of Albany, q
successful lawyer and one of the most
ski!lful antiquarians Of the day, has
been retained by some of the heirs,
and has carefully compiled and traced
the pedigree from the year 1866 in
England, and through the line
Of Lawrence in America, and has the
evidence and facts on which to lay his
claim in England. He associated with
him George Day, of Troy, N. T., and
they have the assistance and counsel Of
the Hon. John Day,of Montreal, broth
or Of George Day and counsel to the
Queen, q gentleman necessarily from
his position of great legal ability, and
who has accurate knowledge Of the re.
cords in England relating to the case.
Mr.. Carver and George Day expect
soon to be able to lay their claim for
the recovery of this vast estate, and
will go to England for that purpose.
The estate is worth the marvellous
sum Of e100, O0o, 900, large portion of
which lies in the Bank of England
awaiting the very proof which Mr.:
Carver has dug out of registers and
other documents, many of them more
than 200 years old.

A Disguised Dead Head.

A funny incident attracted the atten-

the opera on Friday night. A wiry.
muscular-looking fellow approached tie

sign of recognition, and went on with
his work, without second glance at

once found in my garden the half

once found in my garden the half
of q good.sized potato, with q very
strong sprout several inches in length,
growing directly from the center of
the cut portion, and on other occa-
sions I have noticed sprouts growing
from the cut surface at short distances
below the skin; also from the cut sides
where the skin had been peeled off to
some depth. -
Now, though I dc not think that the
eye of the potato goes to the heart,
there may be dormant germs in the
body Of the potato which may develop
themselves on certain conditions, as We
al know that when the sprouts are rub
bed off from the eye, new sprouts will
make their appearance, this occurring
even on q repetition of the process. In
that am inclined to suppose that 1t is
these dormant germs that develop
themselves, and send their sprouts
through the cut portion Of the potato.
Another point 10 the mixing of pota.
toes in the hill, I know that many of
our most intalligents farmers hold to
that opinion. I consider it as more
likely that turnips or beets should mix
in the row; they will only hybridize
in the seed the same as any other plant.
I freely admit that potatoes are often
found mixed in the Hill, but I never
doubted but that the mixture took
place in tho basket before planting.
I think that I have seen instances
where potatoes bred back in the row.
In the instance of the Garnet Chill,
which I raised for several years, every
year I found two entirely different po-
tatoes among them also different frolu
any variety that l had planted. One
of these was blood red, long potato,
and the other q round light russell po-
tato. These I always took to be pro-
genitors of the Garnet Chill, as never
found them among any other variety
in the some field.--Cor. Journal Of tie

very small sum you may erect a square
boar'l house, tarred outside, lime-
washed inside, and covered with
asphalted felt. Each of the four sides
is in separate piece, all knocked to-
gether at the corners with staples and
pins. So u house, say six feet or seven

and temporarily set up in pasture, or
on u stubble, or wherever there may
be a good picking for the fowls. A

the ground covered in by the house
(for there is no wooden fioor) is spread
over with loose earth, ashes, and NOR

of double this number of hall. grown

Correspondence of the Red Wing Republican
A GOLDEN WEDDING. -
Last evening occurred one of the
most pleasant occasions ever enjoyed
in Zumbrota- nothing less than an
other golden wedding. Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Person, old settlers, and most
worthy AID highly respected pair, at
that time celebrated their tiftieth mar
riage anniversary. TO the number of
nearly one hundred they invited their
friends and the oldest settlers to join
them. In social converse and congrat-
ulations the most of the evening was
passed very pleasantly at their home
in the village. But at length attention
was called to the bounteous tables
spread in Grams Hall, a few steps
away, when, headed by the brass band,
all the couples took their way thither,
the aged bride and bridegroom taking
the lead.
After the feast, Mr.. P. P. Scott con-
ducting the exercises, a. very appropri-
ate song, copied from some journal,
was sung by quartette choir.
Then quite unexpectedly to Mr.. and
Mrs. Person-for they had especially
requested that no presents be made
Rev. Mr.. F. Hill, pastor of the Baptist
church, stepped forward bearing a
golden-headed cane for Mr.. Person and
a pair of gold-bowed spectacles for
Mrs. Person, both costing thirty dol
lars, and made most beautiful and
impressive speech Of presentation.
Two very beautiful loaves of cake
were also presented. The aged pair,
too much overcome to find words for
reply, made no attempt to respond.
After music by the band, Mr.. J. B.
Locke was called for, who read the
following

is frst-class one for q political oppo-
nent, and if had been there in that ca
pacity, should have felt highly hon
ored, for it is not customary to notice
'weak-headed' men with so much vindic-

say red-headed, thus placing me in direct
antagonism with all that class of people,
both male and female, and you know
they are not to be trifed with.

OF all red-headed people ever since re-

cheerfully accept the apology for the
first offense, but that red-head institu-
ton is worse on me than the first, for
have no business with red.headed man
or woman now, until you set the public
right on the expression attributed to me.
am opposed to wrong doing in every
shape, but do not think that red-headed
people are any worse than those with
hair of less dangerous color; at any rate,
do not wish to raise that question as
there are 40 many good people with red
heads. II you will publish this explsna

much better in the presence of men and
women with auburn hair. So
