might have passed for being thirty in
stead of forty. She came every year to

of the events am relating, was ten years
old. This child, Aglae by name, was a
pale, largc-eyed mite, in delicate health,
upon whom the mother dotted. She
seemed to have taken a great fancy to
DR.. Barberon, who, on his side, appeared
to cherish her more than any creature
alive, and had always been unremitting
in his attendance on her. The widow
said that il was owing to his care that
Aglse had not died of consumption. and
she binted that it Yas partly from graft
tude that she was gong to marry him;
partly. too, that her child might find in
DR.. Barberon second father, willing as
we'll as able to look after her health. 1t
is certain that Madame Perreau would
have married no man whom her little
daughter disliked; but maternal solici-
tude was not enough by itself to account
for the blooming widows desire to take
second husband. All .who knew her
agreed that she was sociable woman,
not fitted to live alone.
Possibly she had conceived sincere
admiration for DIR. Barberon, for women

Then, like warm-heartcd woman as she
was, it may have hattered her to think
that her wealth would be the means Of
opening grand career to the man who had
wooed her. Madame Pcrreau's, life SC
far had been rather strange one. Hel
first husband, M. Perreau, was Parisiar

large fortune by speculations on thu

liqueurs; but on becoming widow, sh'
had unexpectedly stepped into an incom
of about S,0O0l. year. The chang
from comparative drudgery to affluenc
soon consoled her for the loss of hus

She was also questioned as to her
parents, and said her father died when
she was six or seven years old, and she
had not seen her mother since chat time,
and did not know whether she was living
or dead. She had resided with relatives
mostly all her life, a number of years
being passed with defendants mother.
Some of her letters to the defendant
were shown and identified by her.
The defendant, in his answer to the
complaint, admits the promise made in
Mobile, but denies that in New York.

Interesting to Members Of Land Associa-
tions


julius Tressel against the executors OF
N. Longworth. Judge Smith decided this
case to-day. The executors of Longworth
leased to the Undercliff Land and Loan As.
socia,ion No. 2 strip of ground between
the Wooster Turnpike and the L. NJ. Rail-
roao, the land being subdivided into 1O5
lots. The annual rent was 81, 100 year.
Owing to the hard times the Association
was unable to pay the rent or taxes, and
the executor brought suit and recovered a
judgment for the amount due, and an order
for the sale of the lease was issued, and
there being no other bidders at the sale the
executors purchased back the lease.
The plaintiff was member Of the associ-
alton. and he now brings suit for an injunc-
ton to restrain the executors from putting
out of possession of lot which he pur-
chased from the Association and improved
at an expense Of II, 100. He also claims to
have his lot and building set off to him on
his paying his proportion of the debt.
The Court held that by repurchasing the
lease the executors stood in the same posi-
ton as the Association itself toward the
plaintiff, and as the latter had paid for his
lot the defendants could not put him out
of possession.
On the second claim of the plaintiff, how
ever, it was held tliat he would not be enti-
tied to deed until the executors were paid
all the arrearages due for rent and taxes.
