One of the most extraordinary instances of
good fortune that perhaps ever occurred to
any human being, hes fallen to ihe lot Of
yOuDg gentleman, now about IS years Of age,
the son ola respectable farmer in the vicinity
Of Newmarket In travelling, more than rs
months since, from his fathers house, IN the
county Of Cambridge, towards Shrewsbury
where he went 10 school under the Rev. Dr.
ButIeTO he accidentally met with an elderly
gentleman in the stage coach, 10 whom he was
entirely unknown, but who was so much pleas
ed with his company, that before they parted
at Shrewsbury lwhere the gentleman resided
he told the youth that he lad been long look
ing for person to whom lie might leave his
fortune and that he was the object Df his cleo
ton. The gentleman then gave him general
invitation to his house, where he was ALWAYS
treated with the greatest respect, and intro
ducpd to the best society Of the place for more
than year, and had horse and servant kept
for him whilst he remained att tho school,
which he continued to do till very Tecently.-
The gentleman being taken extremely III
within these few weeks, sent for the youth,
ard repeated bis former lntlmdtiOu OF giving
him all his property Accordingly he caused
a free gift oi his immense wealth 10 be legally
