Thousands Of Acres.

A dispatch from Parkesburg, W. Va,
gives the following particulars of con-
tention over title to a large tract of
land in West Virginia:
The papers and records in one of the
biggest and most complicated land cases
that ever came up in the United States
Circuit Court for the district Of West
Virginia are being prepared. The title
of the case is E. W. Clark vs. Charles
Reeder, and Charles Reeder VS.. E. W.
Clark, in equity. upon cross bill, from
Boone county. The land in dispute con-
sists of more than $4,000 acres lying in
Boone, Logan, Wyoming, and Raleigh
counties, very valuable on account of its
immense forests of timber and veins of
coal and iron. General G. G. Watts is
the agent and attorney for Reeder, and
H. M. Bell is the agent and Judge j. M
Ferguson the attorney for Clark. The
record runs back nearly 100 years, in
volving grant of land made to Edward
Dillon by the government of Virginia in
1896. The value Of the land is now from
three to five dollars per acre.

The convention at a late hour ad-

ming at 10 o'clock, and proceeded at once
to balloting for Governor. The O'Ferrall
men understood that Tyler's strength
would go to their man on the second
ballot; but when the ballot was about
closed it was found that the Tyler men
had not carried out the agreement.
Then some of the delegates from the
Southwest began changing their votes
from Tyler to'O'Ferrall This was taken
by the Mckinney men to mean rush to
O'Ferrall. The effect was like spark
of fire in a key of powder. In an instant
the Mckinney men were on their feet in

as second choice, and had intended to
cast their votes for him on the 3rd ballot,
began with general movement to
change to their favorite. The result was
that before the ballot could be an
nounced, a Bierne delegate moved to

Upon what should the valuation OF

has come. however. when farmers are
beginning to look at this matter In a
different light The farmer Is now
more OF business man than he has
ever been before. and he is making an
effort 10 rate his lands on the basis OF

This basis of valuation probably has

stand about so much. and no more; and

Simon Greenleaf. the famous law pro.
fessor at Cambridge. and author OF the
best treatise on evidence ever written,
was native OF New Gloucester, Me.
ot poor but respectable parentage, his
early advantages were extremely linn
tied. He contrived TO study law. and
commenced practice In Gray. a little
town about twenty miles north Of Port
land. He was so poor as 10 be once

land. where he made such favorable
impression that he was appointed re-
porter OF decisions after Maine became
a State, and acquired n fine reputation.
His business was large, and he stood
among the first when he was invited
through the influence of Judge Story
10 become Royal professor OF Law at
Cambridge. where he soon acquired a
national reputation. The treaties on
evidence was written here. He also
wrote work In defense OF the gospels,
which was failure. iuasmuch as the
attempt was made TO support the testi-
mony OF the evangelists by the rules
OF evidence administered in courts OF
justice. No genius or learning could
make success OF work on this basis.
The gospels are true; but the evidence
Is of far higher kind than that ad-
minisiercd in courts OF justice, although
lawyers sometimes affect 10 be very
wise. and talk 10 a watery way on this
subject. Their efforts In this direction
do not strengthen the evidences, and
sometimes tend TO throw doubt over
