A Large Land Claimant.

The citizens Of Clayton, who have
already paid twice for their property,
were again startled last week by the
appearance of a stranger among them
who claimed that he represented the
interest Of the rightfuL owner, and that
the one who had obtained it was a
fraud. The man who is a lawyer says
that the claim is for 1000 acres at
Smyrna, Dover and New Castle-that
James Tippett never owned the Clayton
land, but had 80 years lease on it,
and he claims all Smyrna too. He
says that a man named Filletts or
Phiiletts had 80 years lease on the
land upon which Smyrna stands.
He states that the lease has 6 years
to run yet, and that he came here to
take the bearing with view to insti-
tuting a suit for recovery when the
lease expires. No one knows where
he came from or where he has gone.
He stated that he had been travelling
! three weeks to reach here, but did not
| say where he started from. He had
about two bushels of old deeds, leases
and letters along with him, He says
that Whartenby whom the court decid-
ed to be the proper owner was not the
Whartenby referred to in James Tippitt's
will and that Mrs. Harris, one of the
present owners never was a Whartenby
and that she is no relation to them
He further says that the Bayards hired
a woman and took her to Europe with
them to swear to faIsehoods, &c. The
special object Of his visit seemed to bC
to get information and prove title tC
the Clayton TRACT that Richard Tippet
sold to the railroad, Messrs. Bailey anC
Daniel and other citizens, but was sub
sequently awarded to Jas. Whartenb!

She was the widow of the late James .
English, who lived and died at his |.
residence near KentOn, Mrs. f. moving
to this town subsequent to that event, |
some fifteen years ago. She was the |
daughter of the late Isaac Buckingham
a well known farmer of that section,
and was the oldest of his children, a
representative of sterling qualities. In
very early life she attached herself to
the NJ. +. Church, to which she main
tanned an unwavering devotion to the
end. She leaves five children two
others having died after reaching
mature years. all residing in this sec

j. S. NOVEL;.
James Sipple Novel; died at his resi-
dence about half way between Brcn-
ford and Kenton, on Friday at the age
of so years, after an afIlietion in which
he suffered n dozen ordinary deaths.
| A little over four years ago he had
desperate attack of typhoid fever from
which he finally recovered only by
superior vitality, but leaving his blood
| in poisoned condition manifested in
recurring ulcers, one of which caused
the separation of the bone of the thigh
requiring the amputation of the limb.
His endurance in mastering these re-
peated desperate conflicts with disease
and pain was surprise to all who
knew him. The final attack was in
ward and succeeded in accomplishing
what the rest had failed to do in taking
his life. Mr.. NOVEL; was an enterpris-
ing farmer, earnest christian and es-
teemed citizen, a fact manifested in
the large concourse that attended the
remains to GlenwOOd cemetery, thi.
town, on Sunday. He leaves a wife

A Fathers Long Vigil.

On Monday afternoon the remains
of Miss Annie Brewer were inferred
in marble sarcOphagus erected in
the yard adjoining her fathers resi-.
dence, in East Hartford, CT. The
circumstances Of this case are sad and
peculiar. Miss Brewer was the 16-
year-old daughter of Edward Brewer,
a leading citizen of East Hartford.
She was the idol of her father, whose
whole life seemed to be wrapped up
in her. A week or two before Christ
mas she was taken sick, and, after a
short illness, died. On her deathbed
she expressed horror of being put
into the ground, and her father prom
ised that she should not be. In spite
of the entreaties and perSuaSiOnS of
his friends and relatives, he declined
tC allow the remains to be taken from
the house. The corpse was dressed
for the grave and enclosed in a hand
some coffin, which was placed in the
parlor. Every day an undertaken
visited the house, and did what was
necessary to preserve the remains.
The unhappy father refused to be
comforted. He sat by the coffin all
day long, and it was with great diff
Guilty that he could be persuaded to
snatch even a few moments for his
meals. In the early evening he gen.
orally retired to bed, but at about
midnight arose again, dressed him
self and returned to his vigil. He
addressed to the inanimate form
words of endearing affection, kissed
the marble lips, and passed his hand
across the brow. When daylight
came he returned to his bed for few
hours, and then arose to go through
the same program. Day and night,
about the middle of April, these
strange actions were kept up. At
about that time Mr.. Brewers health
broke down, and he agreed to the re-
moyal of the remains to vault to be
accessible, so that he might still hold
communion with his dead child. 1t
is in this vault, just completed, that
the girls long unburied remains were
on Monday placed. The ceremonies
were simple and private.
