THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
Concerns Censured.— Under this caption 
the Eye-Opener will, from time to time, give 
the names of various dubious concerns it has 
seen denounced in other papers, but which 
have not been investigated from the Rural 
Office. Marquand City,‘Mo., according to sev. 
eral papers, is one of those bogus paper cities 
that have been often exposed and denounced 
in this department. It is the offspring of 
a paper called the Mutual Helper, which 
purports to be issued in Ohio. This catch¬ 
penny affair is $1.50 a year, and every sub¬ 
scriber of this pittance is entitled to receive 
as a premium a clear deed of a $50 lot in 
Marquand City, Mo.! I« there any need of 
saying anything more about the fraudu'ent 
nature of this bogus place? If so, surely 
everybody should be satisfied that it 
is a swindle, on learning that Bain, the 
notorious Ohio “chicken swindler” is 
the editor of the alleged paper. 
A Chicago contemporary finds reason for 
censuring the method of doing business prac¬ 
ticed by the R. W. Sears Watch Company of 
the Windy City.Mr. B. VanRaub, 
of Boerne, Kendall County, Texas, who 
advertises ponies for sale, opportunities for 
young men to find employment on his “ stock 
ranch,” etc., etc., has for years been denounced 
by Eastern and Western papers as a humbug 
and fraud, but he must still find dupes, as he 
still finds it profitable to go to the expense of 
advertising pretty extensively in some papers 
and by circulars through the mails.

REMARRIAGE OF DIVORCED PERSONS. 
“ A Reader ” (no address). If a husband 
or wife gets a divorce in New York State, 
does it give the other party a right to remarry 
in another State? How is it in Illinois? 
Ans. —Where a divorce is granted in New 
York State, the Court in some cases allows 
the libellee or defendant the right to remai ry; 
but, as a general rule, this is not granted. If, 
however, the person goes to another State 
and gets married tnere, the marriage is valid, 
whether the party resumes his domicile in New 
York State or remains elsewhere. If a 
divorced resident of this city whom the Court 
has fofbidden to remarry, crosses the N uth 
river to New Jersey, and there gets married 
and returns at once to New York, the mar¬ 
riage is valid in this as well as in every other 
State in the Union, and the person is not 
liable to any punishment, whereas if the 
party remarried in New York State he or she 
would be guilty of contempt of court and sub¬ 
ject to punishment, and the marriage would 
be void. If people are divorced in Illinois, 
either party may remarry in that or any other 
State. 
ALIEN LAND-HOLDERS IN PENNSYLVANIA. 
L. T ., Williamsport, Pa. Can an alien 
buy and hold a farm in this State, even if he 
has no intention of becoming a citizen? 
Ans. In Pennsylvania au alien may pur¬ 
chase and hold real estate not exceeding in 
quantity 5,000 acres or in net annual income 
$‘.20,000. The object of the law is to prevent 
foreigners from holding large bodies of land 
in the Commonwealth either as landlords or 
for speculative purposes. Au alien, however, 
may hold any amount of land w hich he may 
have acquired by devise or descent. 
“A” Burlington, N. J.—ln another part of 
this State a female relative of mine lately died 
intestate, leaving personal property and a 
small but valuable farm. 1. Hoes the husband 
inherit the personal property ? 2. Hoes he get 
the farm? 3. If he has only the uso of the 
real estate during his life-time, should he not 
first be obliged to pay off all his wife’s debts 
including the mortgage, with the personal 
property or the proceeds thereof? 
Ans.— 1. When a married woman dies in¬ 
testate in New Jersey “ the husband may de¬ 
mand and have administration of her rights, 
credits, and other personal estate and may re¬ 
cover and enjoy the same.” 2. The husband 
in case the wite has borne him children, has 
the common-law right of courtesy in the 
wife’s real estate, which is a life tenure. 3. 
The husband must pay from the personal prop¬ 
erty all the lawful debts due by the deceased 
wife except those secured by mortgage on the 
real estate,and the person who takes the real es¬ 
tate must take it with the burthens attached to 
it while in the hands ot the deceased, and 
cannot put these burthens on the personality. 
L. M. S., Medina , N. Y .—A marries and 
through the thrift and energy of himself and 
his wife manages to accumulate a consider¬ 
able fortune. Then he dies. His widow 
marries again. On her death before that of 
her husband, what claim would the latter 
have on the property ? 
Ans. —He would have no interest in the 
property of the first husband except in the 
part of it which the widow may have received 
by bequest or inheritance. After the death 
of the first husband, his estate would be 
settled. What portion of his estate would go 
to his widow would depend on his will, or if 
he died intestate, on the number and relation 
of the heirs entitled to share in the property. 
When the widow dies, if she leaves no will, 
her second husband, if he survives her, will 
have no interest in her real estate unless she 
has borne him children, in which case he 
would have a life use of it. He would be en¬ 
titled to one-third of her personal property 
and even more under certain conditions speci¬ 
fied in the laws of descent. All this, of course, 
applies to this State, as the laws of descent 
vary considerable in the different States. 
M. L. T., Beaver, Utah ..—A man died here 
lately leaving a fine farm and a wife, but no 
will, children, father, mother, sisters or 
brothers. Who are his legal heirs? 
Ans. —The laws of Utah for succession tc 
the estate of one who dies intestate provide 
that if the deceased leave a surviving hus- 
baud or wife, and neither issue, father, mother, 
brother nor sister, the whole estate shall go to 
the surviving husband or wife.
