In your issue of last

the people may not be deceived by his card
allow me to say that there is at least one
graded school that is run for’a much "smaller.
figure than the lowest given by Mr. Adams.

seems to justib his. Committee's extrava-V

Mr. Adams can explain how it happens that

The suit of Abigail Hanford \8. Harvey
Fitch and others was last week decided by
our Suprcnia court of Errors adversely to
the claim of petitioner. As this case has
excited 'much interest, on account of the
large amount of property and intricate legal
principles involved in its decision, we give
a statement of the principal facts shown at
the trial, which _.was held here laat~Spring,
before the .Hon. Dwight Loomis, the com-
mittee appointed _by the Superior COnrt to
report the facts“ in the case.
In 1818 the petitioner, Mrs HanforVd, then
living with her husband, Zaimon Hanford,
in Norwalk, bought a tract of unimproved
Iand,containing five acres, at the head of
" Pudding Lane," in Norwalk, and in March,
1820, she and her. husba’nd’mortgagcd it to
Eli B. Bennett to secure a debt of the bus-
band’s, amounting to 8225. 'In August,
1820, Zaimon Hanford’s life interest in this
land of his wife’s was set ofi“ to Samuel
Cannon by levy of execution,and was ap-
praised, subject to the prior mortgage to
Bennett, at the sum of 855. In March,
1822, Cannon voluntarily to Bennett
the amount of the mortgage claim,and took
est in the premises, and in August, 1822,
Cannon conveyed to Samuel Gray all the
interest he had obtained by the levy of exe-
cution, and' in the same deed conveyed the
whole fee of the land with full covenants
of warranty.
Gray subsequently sold the land, giving
a warranty deed; and the premises, having
passed through various hands, are now 0c-
cupicd by the .homesteads of Harvey Fitch,
Gould D. Jennings, William A. Gorham,
Mrs. Louisa A. Smith, and a part of the
homesteads of Herbert L. Uhle, James
Sherwood and Jacob Weeks, all of whom
boughtthc land in good faith, believing that
the title was perfect. The improvements
made on the land since the sale by Gray
have probably amounted in cost to some
670, 000.
Mrs. Hanford and her husband left Nor-
walk' in 1820, and have since resided in the
western states. In 1869 Zaimon Hanford
died, and in 1870 his widow demanded the
surrender of the premises, claiming that
upon the death of her husband the life es-
tatc obtained by Canaan’s levy of execu-
tion had expired, and that as to the mort-
gage given to Bennett it had been paid up
and extinguished by Cannon as part of the
consideration for the life estate he had
taken. In other words that in appraising
the value of Zaimon Hanford's life estate
upon Cannon’s le'vy of execution, the ap-
praisers had, as they were legally bound to
do, deducted the to'tal‘amount' of Bennett‘s
mortgage, because Cannonwould have to
pay up that mortgage before he could enter
into possession of the husband’s life estate;
therefore that Cannon’s payment to Ben-
,‘V nett was only a performance of his duty to
' give the full value for the husband’s life es-
tate, and could, not in equity, at least, give
him any right'to the remaining interest of
the wife in the land after her husband’s life
estate had terminated by his death. , . .
.TejVFThe occupants _of the land declining to
give up their possession, Mrs. Hanford, in
1870, instituted her present suit to compel
them to reconvey the legal title to the land
left outstanding by the mortgage, which she
claims had been virtually paid 06" m the;
manner stated, but which she averrcd her
willingness to pay off if the Court should
hold that—it had not already been paid.
The report of the committee having been
returned to the March term, 1874, of the
Superior Court the case was nerved for the
advice of the Supreme Court of Errors and
argued before the latter court in October by
Messrs. Levi Warner and Asa B. Woodward
for the petitioner, and Wm. Randle Smith
for the respondents. ,I
The Supreme Court held the case under
cision was rendered advising the Superi0r
Court against the claim of the petitioner.

evangelical christianity, but he was unmov-
ed in his faith that they must fail before the
old truths that had rung down the ages. I
shall never forget one occasion when his
righteous indignation reached its climax at
the pretenccs of " advanced thinkers.”
He gave his ministry to God's cause from
his first consecratibn to it. Much of the time
he received no femuneration, but whenever
he did, he gave it away to charitable ob-
jects. He told me this was among the prom-
ises he made in entering the holy work.
JThe rule that 1 prophet- Is not without
honor save in his own country and among
his own people, did nut seem to ap-

An‘ cntchtaVinmeVntias given at the Center
District School House, on Saturday after'
noon and evening last. It was in no sense
a school exhibition, but was originated and
managed throughout by the scholars, who
desired to raise funds for a special purpose.
The teachers, however, were complimented
with tickets and received as spectators. _Sat-‘
urday evening the attendance was large; the
Hall being crowded, and many ladies were
forced to stand up thoroughout the entire
0vcning. A’good’rtage was erected,- with
curtain, improvised scenery, etc. The per
tbrmaVnces tv‘Verc varied in character, embrac-
ing singing, light dramatic scenes, recita-
tions, tableaux, etc, Some of the pieces
were highly amusing, and the entire per-
tormances were received ‘with very general
satisfaction. The stage management would
have been creditable at the Opera House.
No unpleasant“ hitches" or delays occurring
to annoy the spectators. The scholars have
every reason 'to be pleased with their success
and they certainly deserve much credit for
the manner in which they conducted the af-
fair. I
We are pained to learn that the father of
Mr. George E. Miller, died quite suddenly
at his home in Royalston, 11005., last week.
Mr. Miller was in town but a short time
since on a visit to his son and made many
pleasant acquaintances here, who will regret
to hear of his death. He had been thrown
flom his barriage and the concussion is sup-
posed; to have led to a congestion of the
brain, from which he died. V

Some of our young ladies held a pleasant
charade party at the, residence of Major
Holmes, last week Monday evening. Un-
fortunately for the gentlemen they were de-
barred admission.
