There is one lawsuit in America almost as
old as the English possession of the country,
and it concerns no less valuable property
than a good slice of the city of New York
itself. This is the claim concerning the farm
OF Anneke Jams, the widow OF one of the
earliest Dutch settlers who departed the city
of New Amsterdam and this mortal life in
1857 or 1858, and whose spouse afterwards
married Dominic Bogardus. The farm was
afterwards merged into Kings Farm, owned
by Trinity Church, and the first trial as be-
tween the corporation and the heirs of An
neke Jams took place long before the Revolu-
ton. The case is not settled yet, and that
veteran guardian Of the interests of New
York, Mr.. JAS. w. Gerard, tells the story OF
the farm and of the suit in the forth coming
May HARPER's, with the help of number ol
illustrations.

EDIToR NoRTHERNER:
Having spent about one week in south
ern Illinois, or Egypt, can say with regard
to crop prospects In that region, that they
are not good. There cannot possibly be
more than half crop of winter wheat the
peaches are all killed, no varieties alive, and
fruit of all kinds badly injured. Stock is in
poor condition. Farmers here furnish no
shelter for their cattle, although timber il
plenty and cheap On the whole this good
country, better on the average than Van
Buren, county, good soil, good water, good
timber, and, generally, good crops. The soil
Is heavy, and, consequently, the winter wheat
has suffered, as the frosts have been severe
and will. j think this year, be q very small
crop. The only thing that this region seems
TO lack is the human race. Ii is settled prin-
cipally, by people from Tennessee and North
Carolina. ID. ANDERSON.
