 WELLINGTON.

l It made the expression seem @ little silly last week when your type made us say ''beautiful' rain instead of bountiful rain. To be sure a falling rain can be 8 beautiful affair, but, in dry time, when a gracious, heavy rainfall visits the parched earth, sentiment yields to bare fact. -.

We got our information from the official report of the doings of the probate court in Massachusetts, as givenin the Springfield Republican (which seldom or never makes @ mistake), and can not see that we made any mistake, as | to the information concerning the setting aside of the will, save the statement that the motion to set aside was made by the decedent's husband. We do not know who gets the benefit of the late Austin sGerrick's estate and it's increase since his death. It is said that John Merrick does not-of, the original estate, presumably.
