DEATH OF A WEALTHY CoLORED MAN.
We see it stated that James Roper, the largest
land-holder and the wealthiest man in Jeffer-
son county, Va, is dead. Roper was acolored
man, the natural son of an eccentric English
man, who bequeathed the most of his property
to the recently deceased, who added greatly to
his patrimonial estate. Roper had a great ia
Guilty for acquiring property and mania for
adding to his large landed estate Every year
or two he would purchase farm, for which
we have known him to pay as much as $llO
per acre, when dollars were dollars Roper
was an Incorporate man, yet, such was his
natural shrewdness that nobody could take
advantage of him in trade, even when he was
drunk. He was quiet, inoAensive man, and
as generally esteemed as a man of his habits
conld expect to be. He never voted, served
onjuries, or attempted TO exercise rights de-
MED by the laws yet he was as fully protected in
his rights Of person and property as any man IN
Virginia, and has, doubtless, left "a larger and
more valuable landed estate than any man now

A CURIOUS SToRY.--In communication to
the Geological Society Of Paris, NJ. Baraquln
relates the following singular circumstances
In eighteen hundred and thirty there was 3
such an abundance of horses In the island OF
Marsjo, belonging to the delta: of the river
Amazon, that-a president Of the province OF
Para made an agreement With company 70
allow them TO kill as many Of these. animals as
they chose, for the sake Of the skins, when m
fetched fifteen francs each, while the live horse
did not cost more than six francs. The horses
we're slaughtered with such carelessness that
the carcasses, left unburied, caused dangerous u
Infection, which, could only. be got Tld OF by
setting fire to the. whole island, which was va
thickly wooded. This measure caused the
death of all the horses that had stu surviyea
and since that time it has been Impossible ;, 70
rleintroduce the breed on the island, all the
horses broush ithither soon falling victims to
aparalysis OF the hind legs .,,#
