An Important DeclsIOn-The
HAL Case Decided.
From Spirit OF the VQllc,

lFAO1H "PI'lt VI VIC NNlcy.I
Hon. ]. G. Newman. Judge Of the
Circuit Court, rendered his opinion
in tho chancery cause of Robert W.
Hall, &c. VS.. W. Harvey ElIinger,
Executor, &c. Great interest was
manifested by the leading members
of the bar, in the case, and u ma.
jority Of them represented the pres.
ent holders Of tho property in ques.
ton. Judge Robert johnson and
b. S. Conrad for the plaintiffs.
The following is Il brief state
ment of the facts of the case as
stated in the report Of Commission
er Liggett:
Col. James Hall, an intelligent
and distinguished lawyer, who died
in the town Of Harrisonburg, Feb.
ruary, 1885, left his last will and
testament which was probated in
the County Court of Rockingham
county, March, 1885, and thereap.
on recorded in the Clerks Office Of
said County Court.
Said will remained on record in
said Office for n period of more than
20 years, and, in fact, until it and
other records were destroyed in
1864, by an invading army under
General Hunter.
An attested copy Of said will was
placed on record in said Clerks Of.
fee in 1878, which, with an attest.
ed copy Of said copy, for u part Of
the record of said case. By said
will, the testator, james Hall, gave
to his wife, Caroline NJ. Hall, who,
after his death, married Peter B.
Dundall, u life estate in certain lots
and lands in and near the town Of
Harrisonburg, and he empowered
and directed the executor named
in said will, to sell and convey said
real estate, after the death Of said
Caroline, and divide the proceeds
of sale equally amongst eight per.
sons named in said will.
More than a quarter Of century
ago the defendants acquired, by
purchase and deeds of conveyance,
which were recorded in said Clerks
Office, the life estate of Caroline NJ.
Dundall, in said lots and lands,
and, also, the interest of all the
ligatees named in said will, except
the interest Of cOmplainants in the
remainder, or the proceeds in the
sale of said lots and lands after the
termination of the life estate. The
defendants at once took possession
Of said lots and lands, under said
deeds by which they acquired said
life esLate, and the right to eleven
sixteonrhs of the remainder, OF
eleven siXtcenths of the proceeds
Of the sale Of said lots and lands
by the executor after the termina.
ton of said life estate; and upon
said lots erected expensive and
valuable permanent improvements
which greatly enhanced the value
Of the lots on which they were
placed, and, also, of tho lots upon
which no improvements were nut.
Caroline N. Dundall died in De.
cember, 1879, and, in August, 1880,
thd complainants filed their bill in
equity, against the personal ron.

The Democratic party is founded

itisdirectly opposito the "g.o. p"

a member Of the Democratic party
has been elevated to power and
does wrong, Democrats, instead Of
seeking to shield the wrong and
deceive the people, criticise, ex.
pose and denounco it, and this is
also in direct contrast with The

Democrat can afford to Stultify him

Fashionable Babies.

Next to dogs (says a Saratoga cor
respondent)i in importance come the ba-
bies and their maids. These are de-
cided feature on the porches of the great
hotels. Some OF the nurse-maids have.
on their white caps, two long streamers
of gay striped sash ribbon, reaching
nearly to the ground behind; others will
have square of diaphanous yelling
over their nurse caps from the 'front.'
In one way or another the maids attire
must minister to the whim or the pomp
of the mistress. 9'
One particular girl-baby ut the States,
rejoicing in the name of Catalina, is car
ried about on pillow resting in her
nurses arms, the pillow and the baby's
dress being stiff with costly embroidery
on sheer white groundwork, display
ed one day over pink foundation, an
other day over blue or lavender, and
the maids dress will be of chintz or
gingham of exactly the same shade. -
Thus baby, pillow, and nurse form q
symphony in blue, or pink. or purple,
as the case may be. This is called the
"prize baby Of the States. and the I'm
ion has one nearly as fine. Idon't know
just why | am sorry for such pampered
babies. but / am. Said Emerson:
