A CURIOUS CASE.
Tho Congregational Church in Hartford,
Vt, Ia Trying to Collect an Old Legacy.

The church In Hartford, VT, which came
into notice a while ago because of its
trouble over it's pastor, Rev. Mr.. Boyd,
who answered an advertisement calling
for minister who was republican, and
was engaged by the church without suf-
flcient explanation of his independence in
politics, is now hoping to get an addition
TO it's funds by collecting an old and long
forgotten legacy. The facts, as stated in
O recent number of the New York Times,
and as learned from other sources, are
about as follows:
Edward w. Marsh, esq, a member of
the we'll known Marsh family Of Hartford
who, after graduating at the University
of Vermont, went to New York, practiced
law, and later removed to Plainheld, N. D.,
died in that city in 1868. He left some prop
erty, consisting chiefly, we believe, in
real estate in Plainfied. In his Will he
made provision for the removing of the
remains of his elder brother, Levi, who
died at the West, to Hartford, and the re-
interment of them in the family lot In tho
Hartford gray yard, and for his own inter-
ment there. For this purpose he set aside
$1,000 $500 or $500 of which was to go to the
town of Hartford for the care of the
cemetery lot In the event of the cxecu-
tors failing to remove the bodies to Hart
ford, the Congregational church of that
town was 10 receive the $1,000. His cousins.
the late DR.. Leonard Marsh and Daniel
Marsh, were residuary legatees and Leon
ard Marsh and a man named Parse were
named executors. DR.. Marsh did not
qualify as executor and Parse administer
ed the estate. 1t is the distinct recollec-
ton of Mr.. Marshs widow Mrs Anne L..
Marsh that the bodies were duly removed
TO Hartford and the lot put in order, but
| the executor, Parse, kept very scant ac-
counts, and neither his books, nor the
church tor town records appear to contain
any record of tho transaction. The estate
| of Edward Marsh was long since settled,
and the real estate sold. Recently a
| Brooklyn man who had purchased piece
of It, wanted to sell and found a pur-
chaser. The purchasers lawyer, in look
| Ing up the title of the property, ran across
| the will of Mr.. Marsh, and made inquiry
as to whether the provisions Of the will
had been complied with. His inquiry rails
ed the question whether the church was
not entitled to the legacy, and 1t is report
| ed that a suit will be instituted to settle
the point. Since Deacon Morris withdrew
| his support the church Is having rather
hard times and its members are wonder
ing what will be the result of a suit against
the estate of q man who died 20 years ago

Washington, FEB. 2l,-To-day marks the
close Of the Continental Congress OF the

Mrs. Jesse Burdette; Massachusetts,. Mrs
Anna Won Reidensburg; Rhode Island
Miss Mary Anne Greene; Connecticut,

The amendment to the agricultural ap-
preparation bill proposed by Senator Proc

Morton. Ho Is very anxious to have the

~ In the interest of the work of the de-
partment 1t is probable that the resolu-
ton directing the secretary of agriculture
to comply with the law and distribute
seeds will pass both houses as the House

favorably and 1t already has tho sanction

Senate. Members are of the opinion that
there Is stlll time to send out seeds this

vERMONTERS IN MINNEAPOLIS.
Annual Reunion of the Ethan Allenitcs In
the Flour City.

The sixth annual reunion of the Vermont
association in Minneapolis. Mimi, was
held at tho Nico.let House, Wednesday
evening of last week President f. j.
Mcmillan presided, and the speaker of the
evening was Hon. Elmer E. Adams. In
its account of the reunion the Times has
this to say of Green Mountain boys in Min
neapolis:
1.-The Vermonter in Minneapolis is legion.
He exists here to an extent that Is sur
prising. The census returns show YER
mont to be represented in Minneapolis to
a greater extent, numerically, than any
other New England State. That this fact
is not generally known is supposed to be
due to the native modesty of the people.
Notwithstanding this native modesty,
however, a good many of the Nermonters
have managed to fare quite well. They
were pretty prompt about getting accli-
mated, and while they went at things in
quiet and unpretentiolis way they man.
aged to get to the front in very formidable
fashion. There is hardly a man in Min
neapolis who has lived here any length of
| time but has Nermonter among his
friends, neighbors or acquaintance, and
at the same time is not regretting the fact
THE Nermonter, according to the testi-
| mony of the police, makes very excel
lent citizen. He attends strictly to bust
ness six days in the week, generally man
ages to go to church on Sunday, and al
ways has a pretty definite idea of when
| and where primaries and elections were
held. He has kept so well posted in re-
gard to things political that he has album
dant representation in pubic office. There
| has hardly been time since the organi-
cation of Minneapolis that the most seduc-
| tive part of the municipal pay roll did
not bear the names of Green Mountain
people. The municipal executive to-day is
| a Green Mountaineer, and the very hand
| some majority which revealed itself when
| the Australian ballots were counted came
| in spite of the fact that in the advance
notices 1t had been mentioned that Robert
Pratt came from State where nine out Of
ten of the people thought the proper thing
| to do on the Sabbath was to attend divine
worship. If the mayor were presiding over
the destinies of a small town in his ma
tive commonwealth he would doubtless
have a policy which would require every
citizen to attend church services. His
| ability to appreciate that he Is now
chief executive of a very cosmopolitan
community goes to show that he and his
| fellow Vermonters are veN reasonable
people-that the Vermont conscience Is
fairly flexible

ton was taken.
The subcommittee of the Senate COM

ton of special commission on highways

ment, gave a public hearing to-day to
