Matthew yassar's Will.

In Poughkeepsie, N. Y, on Monday, the will of
Mathew Vassar was offered and admitted to
probate, although it was contested. The Eagle
says:-
The contestants name is Matthew Vassar I'd,
said TO be nephew of the dead founder OF
Vassar College. He formerly resided in Mime
sota but latterly had removed to New York.
He was quite young man, aud was represented
before the Surrogate by Hon. Homer A. Mel
son. We are told that he contested the will of
Matthew Vassar on the grounds that undue in
iuence was brought to bear on the latter when
the will was made. The examination before
the Surrogate was continued Tor some hours,
during which Charles Swift, on being examined
by Homer A. Nelson, remarked that previous to
his death Matthew Vassar informed him that
"the College would require all he had,n and
that "Matthew and John could take care of the
poor relatives" The contestant did not succeed,
and the will was admitted to probate. 1t pro-
vides officially and substantially as follows:-
He first orders the burial of his remains in
the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery, near the
monument erected by him during his lifetime.
He then gives and bequeaths to his two
nephews, Matthew Vassar, Jr., and John Guy
Vassar, the old homestead on the corner of
Vassar and Main streets, in case of the death OF
either the survivor to take the same. And to
his other nephews and nieces he gives the sum
of $500 each. He then gives, after several
smaller bequests to different parties, the sum Of
$50 600 to the Trustees ofVassar College, for the
benedtsolely the lecture fund, for the purpose
of defraying the expenses of having lectures on
literature, art, and science. He also gives
$50, 900 to the Auxiliary Fund.-" to be applied
to the benefit Of such scholars as are unable to
pay the tuition, etc., of the College. He also
gives the sum of S5O,0OO for the benefit of the
Library, Art, and Cabinet Fund. He then gives
the rest and residue of his estate to the College
for the purpose of keeping the same in repair,
and to the erection OF buildings around the
College, as may from time to time be deemed
necessary. He also suIrenders a bond and
mortgage which he held against the College for
5000.
There is variety of smaller gifts TO different
parties, but these are all the larger bequesIs.
At the end of the will he added clause in his
own handwriting, asking of his executors, as
far as practically within its implied import, and
in matters of religious belief, as he heretofore
expressed TO the Board of Trustees OF the Col
lege, to be as liberal as is consistent with the
Divine injunction, viZ.:- "Folow after
Charity" making no difference in the ordinary
Christian Creeds, all Sectarianism to be care
fully avoided.

Attempted


Attempted Revolution I'm Vera Cruz.
A correspondent writing from Vera Cruz, on
August 18, remarks:-
$50 various and contradictory are the rumors
here that II is almost impossible to arrive at the
truth as to what Is going on in the interior, and
even in the vicinity Of this city. The revolution
attempted In this State under Prieto and Do
mingueZ appears to have ended in smoke. Par
ties acting under their lead are reported to have
been attacked and routed at various points, and
from the country. squad of prisoners, some
nine or ten in number, and said to have be-
longed to that party, came in to-day. There
were two Captains among them.
At Puebla 1t was reported that three columns
under the command of Generals Oortlna, Car.
ZION, and Cabrioto, would attack the revoiutlon-
lists of the Sierra, who, numbering some 1900
men, had taken a strong position and fortified
themselves in the Cerro San Miguel.
We hear almost daily of new pronunciamien-
tos in all parts of the country. In the State of
Campeche, one has been started by d. j. A.
Munos, who collected about $50 men, armed
with rifles, and marched upon PocyaXun, where
he compelled the officials and leading men to
Join In the proclamation repudiating the State
Government. They acknowledge the general
Government.
At last accounts the revoutionists occupied
the town of Tenabo. And 80 come reports of
uprisings all over the country. Some are
against the General Government and in favor
of various aspirants for the Presidency; others
are more modest, and only aim to upset the
State authorities. All have some ostensibe
political and patriotic object but love of ex.
citement and the hope of plunder are the real
motives, in almost every instance.

A FEARFUL CRIME.
Family Murdered-Their House Burned
aud other Property Destroyed.

About midnight on Saturday three OF tour
pistol shots were heard coming from the Willett
lumber mill, on Belle river, Ontario, and shortly
after the buildings were found to be In flames,
burning to the ground before the fire could be
checked. The watchman at Nan Aliens, another
mill on the beach, about three hundred yards
down the river from the Wlllett mill, on seeing
the flames thought they came from his house,
and went there to save his goods. While gone
flames broke out in the buildings watched over
by him, first appearing on the side furthest from
the Willett mill, and they too were totally de.
stToyed. Each mill with machinery and stock,
cost about SIC, 600, and there was no insurance
save two policies OF $1,000 each on the Willett
mill.
On examining the still burning ruins of the
latter mill the charred and partly destroyed
bodies of Mr.. Van Orden, one of Its owners, his
wife, and grandson were found. Mr.. Van
Orden's age was about sixty years, his wife's
about fifty, and the grandson was seventeen
years old Beside the corpses were found Mr..
Van Orden's gold watch, locket belonging to
his wife; small piece Of gold, and i've
barreled Colts revolver. The revolver is strange
TO all the people ereabouts, and it is not Van
Ordens, for his is known to have been six
shooter.
Just before the fire broke out two pistol shots
-one witness says three, another says four
were heard coming from the mill occupied by
the family as their house, and when the flames
appeared it was in an entirely different part OF
the mill at least fifty feet from Van 0rden's
room. The deceased has been for some time in
partnership with a certain Chisholm; but lately
their business affairs have been before board
of arbitration for settlement preparatory to
dissolution. During the course of the arbi-
tration difficulties and enmity arose.
Even on last Saturday afternoon they
had a fierce dispute about settle
ment, Chisholm, it is said, having tried
to wrest the property from the old man. The
insurance policies before mentioned were OBJ.
tanned by him and are in the hands of a Toronto
firm as his collateral security for a debt due
them. Within short time Mr.. Van Orden has
received about $4,000 by express, and is not
on Saturday he is reported to have drawn $500
in silver from the bank of Messrs. Strong &
Noble of Windsor. No traces of ALL this coin
could be found, and it was probably the imme-
diate cause of his being murdered. AT least
three persons are suspected, and one of them,
Captain Emory Rabash, was arrested last night
at Belle river.
