The will of Nicholas Travers was opened and read
this morning in the presence of his heirs. Asthe
old gentleman was rather singular In his manners
and notions and his estate Is very large probably
exceeding hundred thousand dollars know thai
an abstract of the will and the several codicils will be
interesting to this community.
The will is dated July 10Th, 1910, and proceeds at
great length and minuteness to divide his real
in this city and Georgetown equally between his
sons Elias Joseph, Nicholas, and James, In fee and
to his daughters Mary Elizabeth, and Sidney, du.
ring their lives and TO their children but in case
either Of the daughters should leave children lv
ing the time of her death, then her share go to
her brothers and sisters surviving. In addition to
this, he wills oil his silver plate TO his daughter Sid.
ney; and provides that his stocks, money and per-
sonal estate with the exception of bed to each
daughter shall be chargeabe with his debts aud sold
to pay the same; the balance left from this fund to
be divided equally among all his children
In July, ls43, he made codicl, in which he re-
yokes his deviseto his daughter Elizabeth (who had
become num- except so fur as to her interest in the
balance left from the stocks Foney, &c, after pay
ing his debts, &C., and wills her share thus revoked
to his sons Elias Joseph and James
In August, 1876, hen,ade another codicl, in which
he revokes the devise made In the first codicil to
Elias, James and Joseph, as TO one lot, which, by
this codic, he gives to Joseph, in fec He also re-
vokes his bequest Of plate and directs that it be de-
voted TO the same purpose as his stocks, money, &c
He gives TO his granddaughter, Mary Winnie 10, No
He directs his executors TO sell I'll his property Of
every kind except such as is devised in fee and af-
ter paying all his debts that the proceeds be equally
divided among his children. The properly that Is

paid TO his executors and divided among the heirs
In June, lS4S, he makes another codicil in which
he gives to his James, the house on the Az
enue Qatcy occupied lace store) in fee, charged
however, with certain rents, TO be divided among
other heirs And he then repeats that all his pro-
perry not devised in fee by the will or any Of the
former codcils be sold and the proceeds equally de
vidcd between all the children
Matthew st. Clair Clarke, ESQ.,, and Joseph and
ELIAS irayers are made executors The will and
tne codlcls taken together are complicated inexpli.

no one can scarcely guess how the property has been
divided or at least what that division win be when
legal construction has been placed upon IL, Ii viii
doubtless lead to much litigation.

TILE ANGEL GUIDES.

Pleasant evening had enshrouded
With Its hues this land Of ours,
And the balmy, cooling zephyrs
Gently swayed the dewy Aowersj
Brightly came n band Of angels,
From the world beyond the skies,
And the rustlng Of their plumage
Sounded like the zephyr's signs.
In a dark and dreary dwelling,
In poor unfinished room,
Lay woman fast descending
10 the SAUNDERS Of the tomb.
He who vowed in youth to cherish
Ever on life's weary way,
Long ago had hopeless fallen,
Meath the wine-cup's mad ming sway.
Oh twas sad 10 see her anguish,
She who was so pure and frai
And to listen TO her anguish,
Uttered with plaintive wall.
BY her bed these angels lowered,
On their errand from the sky
And with lofty folded pinions,
Paused to bear her soul on high
Feebler grew her dying murmnrs,
Till they gently died away;
And her form, like spotless marble,
In n tranquil slumber lay.
Then the angels, wings unfolding,
Scared afar from realms OF night;
And their holy band were guiding
Spirit clothed in robes of white,
All her troubles here were ended
In calm and deep repose;
And her gentle, sorrowing spirit,
Grieved no more for earthly woes.
But upon the air there fioaied,
Music sweeter than the Tyre;
Twas the holy seraphs, greeting
The new minstrel Of their choir
oh, how welcome to the weary
Is the summons from our God,
Calling them to sllmber gently
Meath the cold and earthly sod
Say not thou the grave is dreary,
Though it seems to mortal eyes;
IT'S the way to holy pleasures,
In the realms Of Paradise.
Eastford, @. Lucirs.

ROAD FROM CRUCES TO PANAMA.

] remained here fortnight and then went
to Panama; the charge Tor a saddle mule
was 50, and for a baggage mule and mule
teer SO more, making SIS. ] started af-
ter an early breakfast and arrived late in
the afternoon, it rained nearly all the way /;
the road or mule path was in the worst Of
order. 1t was once paved in many places
with huge round stones, but they were all
washed loose by the rains, and the path gull
lied away in many places, so that the mules
had at almost every step to pick their way
between them, stepping in holes Of mud and
water up to their girths and in many places
the path is quilted away so deep and narrow
that one is obliged to haul up his legs, to
keep them from being bruised by projecting
rocks and crags, and in some places It is like
ascending and descending flights Of steps,
with deep holes in them worn by the mules
feet, stepping single file after each other,
with difficulty Withdrawing their feet, as
these holes are filled with wet clay almost
OF the consistency Of putty. A person not
accustomed, would hardly be able to pick
his way aioot without meeting with many
falls. Eventhe sure footed mule often makes
a slip and throws his rider over his head, to
the danger Of life or limb, against the crag-
gy rocks, or plump in the mud and water
below. II is real " surprising the poor ami
mails can get along at all, with such heavy
burthens; they do often fall under them, and
here and, there the road is strewed with their
bones. Their back, shoulders, and hips are
often cruelty lacerated by chafes, and the
skin torn from their legs by the rocks they
have to step between. And yet with lit
tie trouble and expense, by widening, paving,
and cutting drains, the roads might be kept
in good order. Nothing appears to have
