II now appears that Mrs Beecher (his adopted daughter) has brought in hel claim, through l.. l.. Whiting, of Nor. folk, and is prepared to contest the legality of her adoption. We are in deep sympathy with the Gibson family, as Mrs Beecher and family are accoun. ted very wealthy In is reported that their wheat crop last year sold for over S7.0O0; nearly as much as the entire valuation of Mir Gibson's property. As MT Gibson was thorough-going and prompt in all his business transactions it has astonished everyone that at the last he left his affairs in such an un' settled condition.

SKETCH OF HIRAM BRIGGS.

OF HlRAM BHl6GS.
 Hiram Briggs. who passed from among us Sept 29th, 1888, was born in this town Nov 18th, 1914. His whole life had been spent in Canaan. He was not deficient in any of the qualities which constitute good citizen. While health and strength permitted he was alive to every interest of his town and stats. He represented his town in the legislature of 1876 and he has at differ ent times filled the other offices of the town. In politics he has been life long democrat He was man of good judge ment possessed of . kind heart and honesty of purpose, his word was as good as bis bond.
 For six years he had been great sufferer from rheumatism. He was possessed of remarkable constitution. For many months he had we'll known that his stay with tho things of this world was short, accordingly he had made every preparation for death, and when at last the summons came he was able to meet it joyfully, and thus passes away another of our oldest and best known citizens.
 He leaves devoted wife and three sons and three daughters who will miss the familiar form and face of him who has gone from their midst to the better land. Never before has death come to this family circle.
