Grover Cleyeland,s h.neestry.


susanna Porter was a great beauty, and
much celebrated in her day. Her person
was small and of perfect symmetry. Her
face was distinguished as much for its great
intelligence and animation as for fine fea-
lures and complexion. Her high and pol
ished forehead, her aquiline nose, her bright
and beautiful black eyes, her small and
lovely mouth had each It's peculiar charm,
and if all the witcheries of love were not EN-
ployed by her it was not because they were
not within her control. She was the belle
of her time, and some of the richest and
most reputable men of the neighboring towns
were suitors for her hand, when she gave her
heart to gay young collegian whom her
charms had attracted to her side, and who,
with a. fine aphysique and handsome a face,
and with spirit as noble and humor more
keen, had easily supplanted his older and
more wealthy rivals.
His name was Aaron Cleveland. He was
a man of fine understanding and great wit,
and, what is better, of pure morals and ben
evolent disposition. / am sorry to add that
he was not celebrated for his prudence at
least in his youthful days, and no one
Will dispute the point when informed

HArT' 49, conn, Nov. 2l.-A mystery OF a de-
cade asC recalled by will case before the Su-
perior Court in Hartford. James K. Averill had
for about twenty-five years prior to 1879 been an
editorial writer for the Hartford Times. He was
eccentric in many respects. aud in September,
1870, left Hartford To visit the White Mountains.
Reaching Boston he wrote 10 brother In Ohio
that he was going to Europe and requesting him
10 go 10 Hartford and "straighten out his affairs.
From Iaston he went TO Portland 10 take the train
for the White Mountains, and from that day the
fate OF James A. Averill has been a mystery. The
theory has been that he did not go TO Europe,
place in the White Mountains. BY fortunate in
vestments he has accumulated a fortune OF about
$4,000.

by Connecticut law In the case OF persons dis
appearing the annuity would not begin until
