A WINDFALL FOR Mr.. ROSS.

Peter b. Ross, of MonItor-st, Brooklyn. separated
rom bis wife about twenty years ago. Before part
ing each had made Will, bequeathing his or her
estate to the survivor Mrs. Ross died IN New
York about three weeks ago, but her husband did
not learn of her death until this week. He then
thought of the old will, but naturally concluded
that a later document made IL of no value, A
search of the Surrogate's office, however, showed
that no will had been offered, and the Public Ad-
pinistrator had taken charge of the estate. Mr..
Ross thus comes into possession of about 600.

Mr.. 81. IS when in Friendship and always found
a welcome. Perhaps for imitation, he, like all
mortals, concluded to marry, and young man
was sent upon his rout while he took his we'd
ding tour. Before starting he was told to tell
Mr.. III. that he was sent there by drummer No.
l, and by so doing he would get "put up" and
also have pleasant time. Late one stormy
night he arrived, was taken in, given supper
and retired. In the morning he monopolIzed
the conversation till breakfast was ready, and
when all were seated at the table, just as the
good old peacon commenced the usual blessing

at the same iHstant remarked that "something

the family members. Again the voice was
lifted in thankfulness, and again at the same
time our glib drummer broke in with "The
will be over" but this time he heard the
words OF the deacon, who had again stopped at
the "thank thee" which of course set set all
the family to smile broadly. Then the host re-
marked, II guess we shall have to dispense

A Peculiar Case.

A Bangor correspondent OF the Aroostook
Pioneer gives the following account of pecu-
liar case which has recently transpired at Ban
gor: Last January, P. G. White, Esq, of
Bangor, member of Penobscot Bar, made az.
plication for divorce, on the ground Of incom-
patibility of temper Mrs. White resolved to
contest the case, as she believed that outside
parties were influencing her husband. At the
April term OF court q trial by jury was had,
lasting two days. The Jury concluded, although
the evidence scarcely justified It, that d.
vorce ought to be granted. Exceptions were
filed and the case carried to the law court, and
was argued last June. The full court over
ruled the exceptions. Within few DAYS after
this decision was announced, secret meeting
was arranged between the parties litigant, and
they decided to override the full court and live
together again. Accordingly, on the 9th of
this month, they started together for the sea-
shore, where they are now enjoying the honey-
moon, unmolested by official meddlers after
six months of cruel separation. They are still
man and wife, as the court has not entered
divorce Decree and cannot till the October
term. The serious question arises, what is the
duty OF the court under this state of affairs?"
