THE youngest son of Mr.. Crawshay, the
late owner of the great iron works at Mer-
thyr-Tydvil, in Wales, takes, under the
will of his father, property to the value Of
about $4,000, 900 by absolute bequest; and
being named residuary legatee and in re-
mainder to certain reversions, it is COM
ppted that he will eventually be entitled
to something very little short of 5,00O,0 900
more, as the old gentleman left property
worth about $35, 100000. This liberal pro-
vision for one son will not leave the rest of
