NOT THE LAND HE INTENDED Forty Aerea Left by Joseph Crelghtoa) la Dlapate Between Heirs aad Orphanage. A rather tanusual eoae now being Heard la Judge Sutton's court Is that of the Bt. James orphanage, which asks that tile win of Joseph Crslghton ho reformed to cor rect a misdescription. The petition Is being resisted by the daughters of Mary B. Balby, who are the grandchildren and nat ural heirs at law of the testator. . Tha will which Is In evidence bequeaths forty aerea of a certain section of land to tha St. James orphanage. The forty aerea are fully described, as the law re quires, but It has developed that tha land did not belong to Mr. Cretghten, but la tha forty acres adjoining the parcel of land that he did owa and which tha plaintiff contends he got mixed with hie own, which ha . manifestly Intended to give the or phanage. The heirs claim the discrepancy Is fatal, leaving the estate In the same status as if the testator had died In testate, la which case the property would coma to them naturally as the heirs at law.

Genera John B. Gordon told of General Early's impatience with the presence In the confederate army or tne wives of officers, Mrs. Gordon In cluded. General Early was a bachelor, and to that General Gordon attributes the an tipathy. But the reasons beyond this are suggested by a notlos In the Philadelphia Publlo Ledger of the death of Mrs. Bar bara K. Kants, wife of Jacob Kants of Manor township, near Lancaster, Pa. She was called the "daughter of the regiment by tha men of the Beventy-nlnth Pennsyl vanla volunteers, early In the war of the rebellion. She had been married only year when Her husband enlisted and went to the front with his regiment. The young wife accompanied him, with their boy baby, and in camp she made herself useful, look Ing after the officers" quarters. She and tha child traveled la the baggage wagona At last came the battle of Perryvllli When the Seventyrnlnth got under fire the young wife approached her husband and cried to him In German, "Come, my dear husband, this Is no plaeo for us; let Us go home." And home they went, hauling tha baby on a rudely constructed baby cart. After seeing wife and child safely horns Kants returned to his regiment, explained to his colonel, the late Genera H. A. Hanv bright, and served afterward bravely and with credit. The account does not state. but It Is to be assumed that the rest ot the family thereafter remained at home. Springfield Republican.
