The afflicted lady has the universal svmpathv
of her neighbors, among whom she is deenly
respected. She is an unusually accomplished
woman and is said TO possess a phenomenally
fine voice. Since her residence in the village
she has held the position OF leading singer in
the Methodist church choir and has become a
general favorite. 1t is understood that imme-
diately after the sale she will return with her
two children and adopted daughter to Staten
Island, her forner home and the present
residence of her family. On Saturday last
the iron foundry, three dwellings and wood
lot OF the estate in Cobleskil were sold, Mrs.
PlersOn, sister of Mrs. Rich, becoming the
purchaser for $1,000 of the foundry and
dwellings. the wood lot being sold to the pro
prietor Of Hotel Augustan. On the preced-
ing day Mrs. PiersOn purchased a house in
Albany, and was in the city for day or two
this week, going thence to New York. The
superstition that she would there meet Mrs.
Rich IS negatived by the fact that none OF
the children are on amicable terms with each
other, fact emphasized. 1t is said by
statement attributed to the son, and said to
have been used by him at the late sale, that

the first, to discredit the rumor of an elope-

the subject and, so far as she mingles with
her neighbors, is considerably spared by
them reference TO the painful topic.
Among allthe sad circumstances of the case
is one that occasions amusement John

and likes to be with the ''boys." Just at the
heel of the hunt he finds himself smothered in
clover, living in a magnificent mansion and
master of the whole ranch and outfit. No
one particularly envies John, who has no
enemies, and he seems wholly insensible to
the shameful disclosures, being perfectly con-
tented with an unexpected turn in affairs,
which makes him the practical owner of
considerable property without the expendi-
tune of any effort of his own.
