The will of Daniiel Cornell, a citi. t]
en of Gii~foi.l, Chenango county in f
1his State, who died in the fall of 1
1869, at the age 6f 7-0, conitained t-h0 r
follow ing curious 'clause I
"1Fijil : Bulieviug that the .natu- a
I-al coi-e(qiuences of action based up- t
nn or dictated by the political creed p
or belief approved of or advocated t
by my daughters, Cornelia A. Wood t

It is my will and i hereby direct that d
they receive nothing from mny estate,
either real or personal.''
'I'his will ha.1s been contestod, and t
1the case is n1ow on trial. The claim
-imthat Cornell labored tindeo- a po
litical delusion equi'valbtnt tb 'a niono
Inania. It has been proved by fan
jamin Slater, ain intelligent morchant t
of Norwieh, and one of 01he subvcrib- t
'~ig witn esses, that when Mr. Cornell
asked hii to signt the will as a wit
ness, Mr. Corntell inad reference to
ono of his daughters, and said :
"ITit the lRepublican party was tho i
main cau-se of the war-, and it Wa; for i
that ranton - hie had diecardiII this
daughter--hecauso she ectouraged

A most dliabolical outrage was om
initted, on Saturday night last, by
live unuknowvn persotus, at the house of
Mir..1itnmes Il. Uossett, otne of our
most~ valuted and amiable citizens.
It appours that the ptartius sttolo noise
lessly up to thte house and fired o no
shot. I hrought the window in the di
ftectiof of M~Ir. (Gossott's bod, where he
was hying, the ball striking about six
meches directly over Mar. (J.'s head.
They thlen fired th rough the corner of
thte house, in thte dircotioni of the bed
on which Miss 1"ornandis wvas sloop

intediately jumped out of hed, obtain-I
.e d a pistol, thtrow open the door, and, '
seeimg one of the assaulting party
vunin lg, gave chaso aroutnd the house,
fired at hiu, but, it is feared, withoist
ell'eot. tUn examiiuing the promuises, I
it, was d kcovered that thoro were live
in the party--ono otn a mule, one ontt
horseback and three on foot. One
foot track wats undoubtedly that of a
negro, barefooted, and1( mteasuredl

We have again and again protestedl
mgainst the futile attempt, with such
imited meanB; for twventy years to
somne at least3 to natablish really good
schools at every accssi'ole point, and(
;xpressed our conviction that the
york of piublic edticatoin stiould begin
n the County towns, and (here o'niy,
und thence should the light irrmldiaiii
uto the surrounding country. The
)ounty towns should be called upon
o raise, by special tax upon their
orporotions, at least twoafifths of the
udncy necessary to Greet two good
c1:001 houses and pay fai'r sshfrios to
he teachers, and the State should
>ay out of its treasury the other
breo-fifths of the monoy retquired. A
poecial act of the Legislature is needed
mn this subject. The advantages of
own-schools free to all, are, in part,
