"HOW OLD IN IN N?"

Richmond, Va, Feb. 3.-'How
old is Ann?" is question that the
Supreme Court of Virginia must de
eide. IL came up Monday in the case
Of Northington against the Norfolk
Railway and Light Company The
age of Miss Ann Northington of Nor
folk when she signed a certain con
veyance is in doubt. One side of the
controversy contends that she was
eighteen, while the other says she
was twenty-three. When one of the
attorneys stated that the proposition
was How old is Ann?" there was a
burst of laughter, in which the couru
was compelled to join, 1t became ap-
parent, however, that it was no jok
ing matter. and that upon the decision
of the court depends who will receive
a large sum OF money.

MRS. SARAH STE VEINS
BROWN.

Sarah y. (Stevens) Brown, widow
of the late Jonathan Brown, died at
the home of her son, l.. " Brown, in
Eden on January 7, after an illness of
five weeks, aged eighty-two years and
five months. The deceased was born
in Exeter, Maine, where she resided
till seventeen years of age, when she
started in company with party of
friends for the then far away State of
Ohio. The journey and mode of travel
being too severe for her, she stopped
with relatives at Corinth, VT, and
flowed the rest of the party to go on.
She lived some years in the family of
the late Hon. l.. B. Villas of Chelsea,
and spent many hours in caring for
the late postmaster general, William
+. Villas, in his childhood days. Dec
ember 10, 1843, she married Jonathan
Brown of Vershire, and on January
10, 1856, they moved to Eden, into
the same house from which she was
tenderly carried out January 10, 1904.
Forty eight years of her useful and
beautiful life were spent in that home
which has also been home for SO
many needy ones, both young and
old, during that time. Her motto
was, "Works az we'll as faith; do as
much, not as little, as can" Two
sons were born to her, Milton s., who
laid down his life for his country in
the civil war, and l.. V. Brown, at
the old homestead. Burial WAS at
North Craftsbury.
