\ story Of remarkable family cruelty was
recently developed in the case OF H. j. Sedan.
better known as Squire Sedan, who died in
Cincinnati recently, leaving an estate valued
at 100000 He left will conveying his en-.
tire property to one son, and cutting oft his
other children with a pittanco. This will is
now subject Of contest in the District Court.
The testimony thus far has opened to the
public an extraordinary chapter Of personal
history. 1t shows that for twenty years he
lived IN the same house with his wife without
speaking to her; that he had hourlshing FAM
hes IN various parts Of the city whom he
maintained in luxury, while his own wife and
children lacked for the comforts Of life; that
during nearly fifty years of married life he
never gave his wife but fifty cents in money.
excepting on one occasion. when he paid her
500 10 sign deed The story throughout /.
one of cruelty and dehauchery, lasting through
halt century. The contestants ask that the
will be set aside on the ground that Sedan
was Of unsound mind at the time it was made.
The case presents many points OF similarity TO
the famous Singer will case, in New York.

This town, beautifully situated upon the
banks of the Rappahannock river, at the
head Of steamboat navigation, was at one
time before the late war one of the most
prosperous towns in the State, and is again
resuming its former condition. During
the war it suffered terribly by lombard
ment, in the battle fought there. 1t has
extensive Touring mills whose capacity is
200 barrels per day, besides Sumac mills,
and other manufactures. Sumac, in that
section, is a more important product than
either wheat or corn. The commission
merchants there pay more for wheat than
can be obtained for it in either Baltimore,
Alexandra or Richmond. 1t has direct
steamboat communication with Baltimore,
and enjoys also the advantages of railroad
transportation. 1t is rebuilding its waste
places and rapidly regaining the prosperity
it had before the war.
