The Hartford, W.. Church Case.

Our readers may remember report of
a curious law case, in which the Congre-
gational church of Hartford Vt, was
the plaintiff. 1t arose out of the follow
ing facts. One Edward w. Marsh
of Plain6eld, N. j., a cousin of the
late DR. Leonard Marsh of this city, died
leaving by his will legacy of $500 to
the cemetery association of Hartford the
income from which was to be used to
care for the graves of his parents and
brothers and of himself in the Hartford
cemetery. The will further provided
that if it should be found to be impracti-
cable to invest the $500 on bond and
mortgage, then the sum of $1,000 was to
be paid to the Congregational church in
Hartford. Two or three years ago, that
church awoke to the existence of the
legacy and the conditional bequest, and
no evidence appearing to satisfy it that
the $500 had been paid to the cemetery
association, it assumed that the thou
sand dollar bequest became due and pay
able, and that it was it's duty to secure
it, with 30 years interest. 1t undertook
to do this by suing New York gentle
men, who many years ago in the winding
up of Edward w. Marsh's estate pur.
chased of the estate some real estate in
New Jersey, the purchase being made in
perfect good faith and in absolute igno-
rance of the provisions in Mr.. Marsh's
will above referred to.
The claim of the church, or it's attor-
ney, was that Mr. Marsh had directed
his executors to pay the church a legacy;
that they did not do it;and the residuary
legatees did not do it. So the church
brought suit in equity, asking for a de-
cree not that the executors or reSiduary
legatees should pay; but that the limo
cent purchaser of some land, from the
estate should pay, principal and interest.
The suit was tried, year or so ago, and
was decided against the church. the vice
chancellor holding in substance that the
bequeSt never vested in the church be-
cause it was not impracticable to invest
the $500 bequeathed to the Cemetery as.
SoCiatOn, for the purpose stated in the
will; and because, as there was enough
personal property left by Mr.. Marsh tc
pay the bequest the latter could not be
made a charge upon the real estate.
The church appealed the case to the
| New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals
| "a bench of Is or 16 judges-before
NIoiI lhC CdSe was ItdISucu; anu Clld
| court has unanimously affirmed the de
| cision of the vice chancellor in the lower
court. The church thus loses it's case
The Cemetery association also seems
| somehow to have lost it's legacy. There
are many peculiar features about the
| case not alluded to in this brief sum
mary. 1t will probably strike most I'm
prejudiced persons that the New jersey
| courts have been just in refusing to com
pei an innocent purchaser of some rea
estate to make good the omissions o
faults or mistakes committed by execu
tors or trustees or legatees, 80 odd year
ago, of which he was wholly ignorant
and with which and whom he had moth
ing to do.-Burlington Free Press.

Rest Your EYES.

The moment you are instinctively in
inclined to rub the eyes that moment
cease to use them; also it is time to
give your eyes rest when you become
sensible of an effort to distinguish.
Cold water is about the safest applica-
ton for infiamed eyes. Never sleep so
that on awakening the eyes shall open
on the light of a window. Never read
or sew directly in front Of the light of
a window, the better light being that
that comes from above or obliquely or
over the left shoulder. Too much light
is an evil, just as is scant light. 1t Gre
ates a glare that pains and confuses
