The right of way takes up . a valuable piece of property of Mr. Turton’s, running in thirty yards, of hts residence andi includes about 600 grape vines. Mr. Turton places his value at 83.00 per vine, but has agieed to settle for $1500. The right of way people think the price is too exhorbitant, hence the necessity of arbitration. We trust that the matter will be settled amicably. The case 6f Judge tZ. T. Penny has also been set for arbitration on the same date. ■ -»»♦««■•■*•? . An Aged Lady Dead. Adrertised Letters.
