Little York, Pennsylvania, will not be
unin,eresting TO the readers Of the Repos-
itorv, | send you the following statement
of facts relative to that singular person.
age.
Mr.. B. was of German extraclioh'
His father left him valuable farm OF hVe
hundred acres, in the vicinity OF norN'
with some farming and household articles,
He ken, tavern for number of yeats
married vile and raised four children.
He accumulated an immense estate, which
he preserved so generously, that he never
offered dollar for the education Of his
family. He was never known to lay out
one dollar in cash, for any article he
might be in want of; he would either 90
without it, or find some person who
would barter with him for something he
could not sell for money. He iarmed
largely, and kept large dislillery, which
he supplied entirely with his own grain.
He kept team for the conveyance OF his
whiskev and flour to Baltimore, which
when he could not sell for money at
price to suit him, he bartered Tor neces-
saries for his family and tavern. In this
way he amased an estate worth jour mn
dred thousand dallars. Such was his
attachment to money, that he was never
known to lend or credit single dollar to
any man. Upon the best mortgage or
other security that could be given, he
would not lend a cent He never vested
one dollar in any Of the public funds.
Neither would he keep the notes OF any
bank longer than till he could get them
changed. He deposited his specie in a
large iron chest, until it would hold no
more. He then provided strong iron
hoohed barrel, which he also filled. Az
ter his death, his strong boxes, "irom
whose bourne no Traveller had erer re-
hrnei," yielded f,oo hamdred and thirty
thousand dollars, in gold and silver.
The cause of his death was as RENAL
kable as the course of his life. A gen
,eman from Virginia offered him twelve
dollars per hushel for no bushels of clo-
yer seed; bat he you'd not give ii for
less than thirteen dollars, and they did
not agree. Tie seed was afterwards
sent to Philadelphia, where it sold for
seven dollars per bushe; and brought
in the whole, five hundred and fifty dol
lars less than the Virginan had Offered
for it. On receiving an acconn. of this
sale, he walked through his farm, wen, to
his dlstlllery, gave various directions to
his people. He then went to his wagon
house and hanged himself.-BeimOm
