4 LAW SUIT.
There was general lodging in this town.
Wednesday. The occasion Of it being the
appearance Of the Sheriff to summon
Jury in Il case of disposSeSSng tenant
tcittoW coUrtiag. 1t seemed rs if many
regretted the probable termination of what
had afforded much food for gossipers, and
those who had previously taken great inter
est in the matter, manifested surprising
indifference whenever the officers OF the law
appeared upon the ground to enforce pro
ceedings necessary To determine the rights
of the parties, Each party had, however,
friends enough 10 make ii lively after the
Sheriff had stirred up the town. The case
was that of Mrs. J. Wilson to dispossesS
Mrs. Brown. who through the advice of
would-b friends went into a house Of Mrs.
Wilson by the conniYance OF her tenant,
and remained III possession after the tenant
went out, claiming right 10 the property
by some agreement with Mrs. Wilson
husband previous to his DEATH he having
bought the property at trustee sale III
foreclosure Of Il mortgage, by which Mrs.
Browns life estate in the property had
been conveyed to him Wilson as security
for Il debt. Mrs. Brown was supported III
the house by contributions from the neigh
bors who were ffiendly to her side, and
made as comfortable as limited amount
of furniture could do SO. Her attorney had
advised her that she had no shadow of right
to the property. and so the jury determined,
as they Disposed her. and she gave ny the
house to Mrs. Wilson. 1t seems to me
there should be some less cumbersome and
less expensive method Of obtaining posses
sion in such cases, particularly where, as
in this case, the party holding possession
in defiance Of law has not the means to pay
the expenses The gU0hddM friends OF Mrs.
Brown will not make any contributions IN
this direction, holding that the equities of
the ease were clearly with her.
PLEASURE SEEKING.
But for this law suit, there wouid not
have been anything to relieve the dull
mouotony of our every day life. whi2h had
become 50 irksome, at least to the younger
portion of our people, that live carriages
laden with youth and beauty sailed forth,
on "Wednesday evening, to seek some change
and pleasure. being induced by tenfeHhi"
auticipations of much en- uymcnt 10 visit
your town. The cool evenings and moon
light nights make it delightful for ridiag,
particularly when provi" d with all the
necessary Accomplishments, which we leave
to the taste Of each one TO suggest.
Spring vertlure is not. however, so bright
and green. nor as far advanced as ii gener-
ally is at this time Of year. Bat the con-
servatories of the town present beautiful
sights. The five handled geTdnumS skill
fully arranged in front of Mr.. j. Tones
green house, attract the attention OF every
one. by their varied hue and delicately
shaded flowers and leaves, while the interior
Of the house has its daily visitors. The
first grapes were cut last Sunday, of the
variety Grizzly Frontinac, by Mr.. Alfred
Smith. the gardener, who with his assist
ants, Mr.. Saml Anderson and Mr.. George
Trolsey, deserve much credit for their hor-
tcultural and vegetable gardening. The
Conservatives of Mr. J. y. Pugh and Nj.
Z. McClenahan clearly show that other
than a mans superintendence, Judgment
and taste have directed their arrangement,
and a choice exercised in the selection of
the flowers, which only belongs toa woman.
The many windows throughout the town
decorated with plants and flowers shows
that the love of them must be innate. and
ought to be cultivated for its cheerful
effect. ".
