Woman,s Rights in Ludlow

\ farmer, and also a deacon. in Ludlow,
is very anxious to sell his farm, and to give
a clear title ii is necessary that his wife
should sign the deed. But she utterly re-
fuses to do this, averring that her liegc lord
deceived her in that he represented him
self as well off before marriage, which was
untrue. And so the wife, second wife. has
packed her kit and gone to her former
place OF residence in the state of New
York. As the farm is only worth the val
ne of the homestead above the mort gage,
the woman seems to hold the key to the
situation, and plainly informs the deacon
that when she signs the deed which dis
poses of the farm il will be when the value
of her homestead, 500, is duly paid to her.
And SO the deacon only lives at a poor dy-
ing rate all alone on hi, farm.
