DEATH OF MR.. ASTOR.

John Jacob Aston, the weal'hieSt iui:yiGG-

the world, died in New York on We'd ncsdsv
morning, March 29th, aged 81. 1t is ipTos.
sibe to state with spy degree Of certainty
what he was worth, but few will place tho
amount below twenty millnrs Of dollars
MIR. Astor was native of Germany, hut hss
resided in New York almost sixty years. Re
landed there with only tritliDg sum in lis
pocket. He early commenced business ss a
trader in Fur, and when the state Of New
York was q wilderness, made frequent vovs-
ges up the Mohawk, to trade with IKE Iudi-
ans
As his wealth increased. he enlarged his
business until the formation Of the American
Fur Company he was a competitor with ihn
great capitalists Of Europe the proprietor Of
the North Western and Canadian Fur Ctn,-
panies. Such was his enterprise that lie cx-
tended lis business to tie mouth CT Ike Co
lumbia river, and formed the first far cs.ab
lishncnt there, known as Astoria. Several
expensive expeditions were fitted out by him
Of overland Journeys to the Pacific, sone
which were executed by individuals with
great suffering. These exploits belong 10
HistorJ, and are faithfully recorded bv
Washington Irving.
For many years previous to the war Of
1912, and subsequently, Mr.. Astor WIS., 'x-
tensively engaged in The Canton trade, ard
during the war was so fortunate that several
of his ships arrived at New York with Nalus-
bic cargoes in safety. The profits on these
ships were enormous.
Mr., Astor made large investments in A.
merican stock, which he purchased during the
war with Great Britain, at sixty TO seventy
cents on the dollar, and which after the peace
went up to twenty per cent above PAR.
His great estate, however, has sccumulat-
ed more from The purchase Of Real Estate
than from any other source. He is the larg-
est proprietor by far, of city property, than
any in the State. Mr.. Astor Ind been in
feeble health for q long time, but within \
few days sank gradually, from the infrmities
Of ago, without any diseasc.--Fos Bee,

has forwarded us a blank Memorial for sig
natures, asking Congress to purchase One Hundred
and Fifty acres of land belonging to the Mount YER
non tract, and which contains the Tomb and re-
mains of GEORGE WASHINGTON and aI'1ily-also
some Of the buildings once occupied BY them. TIE
object in asking Congress to mako the purchase, is,
to give to all citizens of the United States, who de-
sire it, the privilege of visiting the spot where rest
the remains of him who sacrificed so much for his
country.
The Memorial and accompanying statements may
be found at the Post Office in this Village, and we
hope all who desire to have their names recorded
there, will append them by the middle Of this
month that the papers may be returned to Wash
ington previous to the first of May. Persons re-
siding in the adjoining towns may find it convent
cnt when here on business, to drop in at the Post
Office and leave their names.
