An ODD Tomhstono.

IN q shady lane near Totnes. England
the attention Of visitors is attracted by q
tall cross OF the finest Aberdeen granite,
which, together with ponderous slab Of
the same material, occupies the corner Of q
field. On 1t is Inscribed the name and arms
of the late Duke of Somerset, with the fol-
lowing extraordinary lines at the foot:
"The twelfth duke was the Sheridan duke.
He defrauded and nearly ruined the Sey-
mouT family This stone was prepared by
the thirteenth duke in his lifetime and
was erected here in pursuance Of his ex-
press directions"
II appears that the duke. who died last
year. suffered all his life from a fixed idea
concerning some imaginary wrong done by
his predecessor, and the obnoxious head
stone was refused admittance TO Berry
Pomeroy churchyard, although fund WAS
left in porpetuity for its maintenance, and
it cost over 900. As matter Of fact, the
twelfth duke was a man Of considerable
talent. The Miss Sheridan he married fig
ured as the queen of beauty in the Eglin-
ton tournament and in 10 way deserved
the aspersions thus cast upon her 10y this
inexcusable act Of posthumous spite. The
