EeiCh NEesa of New York.

The New York correspondent Of the
Charleston Mercury says:
The late Stephen Whitney is spoken OF
in The papers as the third richest man in
New York. should say he was the second.
The first, as every body knows, is Mr.. VIM
B. Astor. His property is not far from
$4,000 600, or about twice what his father
left him. About three fourths Of his money
is invested in city houses and stores, in eli.
gibe locations, from which he derives an
enormous annual revenue. Mr.. Astor keeps
out of public life altogether, and does not
have large private acquaintance. To the
world he is rather cold and distunt-lke to
all other frst.class millionaires-bu in the
circle of his intimate friends he is said to
warm up ond deport himself very jovially.
Mr.. Whitneys fortune was about 100000.
OOO-which is much larger than thai Of Cor.
nelius Vanderbilt who has been set down by
scme Of the omniscient journalists as Gree
sus No 2 OF New York city. Mr.. Wander
blt, is worth 100000 perhaps. After bin
there ore d,zen persons who would claim
the honor of the fourth place, but should
give il to Mr.. Peter Cooper-estimating him
at about $3,OOO,OOO. OF citizens who can
honestly call themselves "m;llionaires,'
there are probably about thirty.

The last will of queer old miser, who
has just died is much talked of at Vienna.
He cut off his nearest relatives, and made o
very distant one, an extremely handsome
young girl, sole heirees of his considerable
property. So fer, there is nothing extraor.
dinary; but there is condition added to it.
The testGtor was a hunchback and had o
club foot, which defects, probably, had OBJ
structed many attempts of his to Marty
He has made it, therefore, condition, sine
qua non, that the heiress is to get the prop.
erty only when che marries man shaped
as he was. She is, besides, TO live in con-
vent three months in each year to pray for
his soul. The heirs-at'aw have attacked
this odd lost will on the plea that when il
was made the testator must evidently have
been mad. As there is, however, no equity
jurisdiction in Austria, they may find their
task not an easy one.

On Thursday Disht, Thomas Weber. aged
50 years, died quite suddenly at his resi-
dence, No. 2S6 Broadway, near Lancaster
street. The deceased at the time of his
death, weighed 46o pounds. His coffin was
seven feet in length, four feet in width, end
four feet deep. We were informed yester.
day that ten years ago he only weighed one
hundred and fifty pounds; since which time
until his death he grew into q mountain o
flesh. Those who knew him intimately ss'
sert that he drank, on an average, one keg o.
lager beer day. In bis transactions
through life he was the soul of honor, ant
many poor family will have sufficient cause
to lament his death. His disease was /

AGE AND DFBILITY,
