TIE PRESIDENTS HUHrING GROUND.
The Queer Condition or the Title or . Piess
of Land Now In litigation.

WOOSTER. Aug. 22.-Tlic piece. OF land In
President from James Monroe to President
Harrison is now in litigation. Although the
Presidents have owned the land. few OF them
ever know they possessed tho property.
Should President Harrison see this article It
would probably be the first intimation to him
that he owned the land.
During Monroe's term Joseph H. Larwill,
one OF the founders OF the place and prOp.ie-
tors Of the town. decided one Of the largest and
after him to the incumbents Of the Presiden-
tlal Office. 1t was provided that the land was
to te used for a huryinE ground. The land
was used for this purpose for many years until
it became filled with graves. AS the villag.
grew it became necessary to open u road
through the land. This was in the tifties. Per-
sons were notified to remove their dead to
another cemetery. and the bones OF those
leaving no relatives were taken up and re-
Inferred at the e~yirnse Of the town. The land
WAS used as II public common until 1873. when
the city began using it rs n park.
From the widow o Joscph II. Larwill. Nancy
!. LarwiIl. who is still living here and Is nearly
100 years o. age. and by tho decd. it is learned
that the title was mad" to James Monroe.

The play was produced at the Richmond

the usual lost daughter. the father from the
farm on visit TO New York, the
good young man who committed for

number of villains. heroes with mus
culAr arms beroines with ever-ready

wherein the heroine is rescued. the hero
saved. the villain foiled and the funny man
spared from complete obloquy. the plot
works itself out aud the curtain falls on a
happy denouement

the personalities of Miss Ruth Nelson and
