BosTON, Sept 2S, lS5s.
The will of Dir. Ebenezer Francis has been
"probated in Norfolk County. Not mill of his
property goes TO any public institution, or for any
public purpose. Nearly all of it goes to his chill
dren, two daughters, and their children. There
are a few legacies to nephews and neices the lar
gest Of which is s., 500. An old female retainer
of thr family has gift of $1,000, and an annuity
of $1,000, which is very handsome. confidential
clerk has legacy of 81 OOo, which is rather small
The Rev. DR.. Putnam, the Rev. DIR. Gannett, and
DR.. James Jackson get $500 each. Mr.. Bowditch
and Mr.. Mason, the husbands of the two daugh-
tiers, get $4,000 each. Mrs. Bowditsh and Mrs.
Mason get each house and 5000 000 in clesn cash.
and the income of the great mass of the property
estimated 10 be worth more than 100000 10
each LADY,, until the distribution takes place
among the grandchildren, by which time, in all
probability they will be past want. am not
aware how many grandchildren there are, probably
three or four in each family. Mr.. Ebenezer Francis
Thayer, who was the only son Of Mr.. Francis's
daughter Anna, died few months ago, escaping
hot ohl. Inc PtIis vi 'nls PioFtN'y, put Ol very
large one which has father. John E. Thayer was
possessed Of There is no evidence in Mr. Francis's
Will that he knew of the death of this young man.
and the probability is that he did not, though every.
body else did. The will was made Just year ago.
and some of the time since, the testaor has hardly
been of sound and disposing mind II was not
probably deemed prudent to give him information
which might lead him TO desire revision of his
will. The trustees of the property are Mr.. Bow
ditch Mr.. Mason, Mr.. Samuel W SWEET, Mr. Israel
Whitney, and Prof Parker of the Law School At
Cambridge. The executors of the will are the
three first named gentlemen. There does not seem
To BE- much reason 10 find fault with the Will.

his property very widely, LET us hope that the grand
children may be LIBERAL not To say " fast " enough

acknowledged by his opponents, deprived of his
seat, 10 make room for Mr.. Chapman, who is now
contesting the seat of delegate Fenner Ferguson

ership, Messrs Bennett and Fleming, While the latter
ndorsed Buchanan, the Dred Scot decision Slavery in
the Territories, and all, Mr., Bennett manfuly and
emphaticaly repudiated the doctrines of his op.
ponent and amid cheers, was declared triumphantly
elected Speaker Of the House. All the officers of this
body are strong anti-Buchanan men.

Communicated.

Mn. EniroR AS I have within tho Last few months
been intsrrosatcd by many citizens from remote parts
of the District in relation to the Granitevie School;
md, Rs many Of them have insisted on my giving
public statement in order to contradict false rumors
in regard to it, which doing great injustice to those
who have and still contributing literally to its
support, beg the favor Of plucs in your paper for
tho following statements:
1t hus been reported TINT large number of North
erners were employed by the Granitcville Company
whose children are being educated ut tho public c1-
pence. Sch is not the fact There is but one North
erner in the employment Of Company, and he is
single man. Tho total number of children that Mt
tended the School last year was one hundred and scy
cnty-six-all natives of the South hundred nnd
sixty Of South Carolina and one hundred and thirty
one Of that number natircs of Edgefeld District.
The Granitovc School is Free School, not only
for the children uf tho place. but also for tho vicinity
The poor children are cassed and paid for by tho
Commissioners Of Free Schools as other poor children
of the District are. Tho Teachers which three in
at stated salary, which made up from the amount
paid by the Commissioners, portion OF the donation
from Mr. Boyce and tho balance is paid by the Gran
tevilic Company. Previous to receiving the Boyce
donation, the Granteville Company made up the en-
tire balance, which for several years amounted to
from four to five hundred dollars per annum.
There is number of rumors over the District in
gard to the donation left to Granievile by the hon.
orable generous and noble hearted Boycc. The Gran
tcville Company made the Trustees of that dcna
ton, and there is no doubt but it has been, and will
continue to he, appropriated as bis Will directs. It
is not reasonable to suppose thath left it entirely for
the benefit Of those for whom the State had made pro-
vision. But particularly for onlarging tho fa
cilitics for giving them moro thorough education
than tue State has provided for giving them.
