The Rich MEN OF NEW YoaK.-From
the returns made to the county clerks Office
IN New York it is estimated that there are al:
least five hundred citizens of New York who
are worth a quarter of million Of dollars aud
upwards. The returns show less than 400 in
dIviduals of this class, but it is seen that
many names of wealthy persons do not appear
-as for instance, the AstOrs, Cornelius Van
derbilt. &c. &c.
The biggest fsh in the pool. according to
these returns, is Daniel Drew. who owns up to
SS7 ,00O. 900; then follows Cornelius Roo,e-

10 TEST a horses eye, look at the eye
carefully when the horse is in rather a
dark stable. Note the size and shape
OF the pupil, carry this carefully in your
mind while you turn the horse about to
a strong light. If the pupil contracts
and appears much smaller than in the
first instance, you may infer that the
horse has good strong eye, but if the
pupil remains nearly Of the same size
in both cases, his eyes are weak, and
you should have nothing to do with him.
