A Big Land Suit.

" ASSaAtb 4AeSAlbSAsSte
An interesting law suit involy
ing the sum ofS20,S00, aud turning
upon the validity Of the title to a
legendary tract Of land in Upshur
county comprising 10000 acres,
was begun in the U, S. District
Court, yesterday. The suit is an
action for tresspass on the case
brought by Joseph Duffner, Of
ctev9laud, Ohio, against d. D. I.
Farnsworth and fourteen other
prominent citizens of Upshur
county. The plaintiffs represent
ed by NJ. T. Frame and H. M. Rus
sci, Of this city, and the defendants
BY Judge John Brannon, pfWeston,
and j. Dallas Ewing, Of this city.
HIsTOY OF THE CASE.
DufIner bought tract ofland in
Upshur county from the defend.
ants, who formed a syndicate and
purchased it at a delinquent tax
sale. 1t is alleged that the defend.
ants prOfessed to convey a good
title, and that Duifner SO believed
when he purchased it. This they
deny, claiming they merely CON.
veyed the title vested in them by
the transfer Of the State. The
sum paid by the defendants was
5000, while they sold the land for
$4,000. The tract is one which
has been carried on the tax books
Of the county for a century. TWAS
originally granted to Thomas Viii.
son over a century ago, and by him
transferred TO a man named Swan,
who had been contractor for furn.
isblng pOvisions 10 the American
forces during the Revolution.
Swan became embarrassed fnanci.
ally and failing TO pay the taxes,
the land reverted to the State, and
was sold for non payment of taxes.
The purchaser transferred the title,
and the tract was divided from
time to time. The title carried on
the tax books, aud out Of which the
present suit grew, was originally
derived from Swan.
DuFFSER DISCOVERS THE FRAUD.
Dufrner, in purchasing the land,
as he supposed, and paying for ii,
as well as going to the expense Of
going to UpshIr county, accomp.
spied by his sou, senta son in.law
to take possession Of the land. He
quicly discovered the character Of
the title. The statement Of the
case made yesterday by Mr.. Frame
charges the grossest fraud on the
part Of the defendants, and alleges
that this fraud was easily perpet.
rated for reason that Mr. Farms.
worth, "the said defendant, had
been Governor Of the State of West
Virginia for long period, to wit:
for The period Of one day; had been
a Senator Of the same State, and
was at this time the President Of a
bank, and the President Of a Rail
road company, and had Heretofore
built a certain church edifCe.
Said D. D. T. Farnsworth was also
President Of the County Court of
Upshnr county, and was a man
who il was natural tn suppose
would not deceive or take unjust
advantage of'anolher, or have any
thing to do with titles to lands
which we're not good titles"
This description caused some
mirth in the court.

CANADA's CORNUCOPuA.
she Fears Middleton Has Bccn RE

tzcd.
Winnipeg, Manitoba, April 49,
Yesterday and to-day have been DAYS
OF suspense, as il was known that
zen. Middleton would reach Clark's
Crossing sometime yesterday. Not n
day has passed since he began his
march without news being received
from him, but up to noon to-day
nothing has come, and there is gem
eral feeling of anxiety about his fate.
Middleton himself expected q COLI.
sion Friday or Saturday. II NAV be
that the rebels are Intro nched in the
bush between Clark's Crossing and
Batouche's Crossing, 25 miles up
the river. The country there affords
excellent facilities for shcltering
the rebels as ii is covered with a
bushy underground. The absence of
dispatches would seem to indicate
the destruction of the telegraph wires.
Middleton is understood to have
formed plan for eluding the rebels
by making forced march at night
from Clark's Crossing toward Prince
Albert, through the territory occu-
pied by the Indians. He is anxious
TO form junction with Irvine and
Cave at Prince Albert before giving
battle TO the rebels, as he fears that
liicl. even If defeated. would retreat
from Prince Albert, sack the town,
and murder the inhabitants.
A special to the sun from Qu'ap-
pelle says: "Nordcrt Welsh, a wealthy
haif-breed in the Qu'appellc valley,
arrived to-day from the rebel camp,
claiming to have deserted. He as
serts that Middleton is running into
peaceful quarters at, Batouche, and
that Riel by evading him
will come down to Touchwood. seize
the supplies there, aud then go on to
Fort Qu'appelle with two field
pieces which he has" Welsh says
that Gen. Middleton's scouts are not
worth anything us they never sight
the enemy, whereas the half-breed
scouts are constantly within range of
the governments scouts Riel has
every hope Of starving the troops out
by cutting offtheir supplies. The fact
of the rebels crossing to the east side
of the South Branch in force, accord
ing TO other reports, TO get here, with
WclslI's opinion of our scouts, gives
his account the appearance of being
reliable. According to Welsh, Riel
says that he will rule or perish, will
be king or die. Welsh says Riel also
claims to have the promise of aid from
Fenjans and Irish nationalists, and
says he is acting under divine instruc-
tons.
