Singular WiN.-Dudley Pickman, who
died about month ago, was one of the
wealthiess and most distinguished mer-
chants of Salem, Mass. ThevaIue of his
estate is estimated at Sl,200,000, which
was distributed by his will as follows:-
The sum of 100000 was given.in trust
to each of his six children. which he hoped
would keep them out Of the poor house
to each Of his servants the sum Of SIS;
to the Church of which he was mem.
Der, the Pe,o which he had occupied for
half century, and the balance of bis
property, only about $780, 600 he gave
into the immediate possession Of his chill
dren. 1t is singular fac, that the grand
father OF the merchant was ono of the
wealthiest men of Salem, while his father
was one or,he very poorest, and lived the
life of decayed gentleman. Nothing
therefore, would seem the best capital for
a young man to begin life with.-N. Y.
