Mrs. Greeley's Will.

From cursory exami nation of the will
of Mrs. Greeley, by permission of Mr..
Skinner, Assistant Surrogate of Westches-
ter county, it appears that she appointed
Mr.. Greeley and Miss Ida Greeley her ex-
ecutor and executrix respectively. The
bulk of the estate is to be equally divided
between the two daughters, Miss Ida and
Miss Gabrielle Greeley.
AS a token of her affection for her hus-
band she bequeathed to him all her pic
lures and statuary, a rare and valuable col
lection. She further instructs Miss Ida
Greeley to appropriate 500 to the purchase
of some additional memento of her affec-
ton for her husband, and present the same
to him.
In case of Mr. Greeley dying or marry
ing again, Mrs. Greeley's real estate is not
to be sold nor the principal of the proper
ty to be used by either of the children
without the joint consent of Miss Ida Gree
ley and Judge Hart.
Mrs. Greeley had policy of life insur-
ance upon Mr.. Greeley's life to the amount
of some 900 to $4,000. It is also stated
that she owned some shares of Tribune and
various other stocks, besides considerable
real estate.-NeU York Times.

NEW IRON ENTERPRISE.
Some Facts About the Iron Interests OF
-rr Roane County.

The CHRONICLE takes pleasure in giving in
formation about every enterprise tending to de
yelop our mineral interests and build up the
workshops of Tennessee. The "Oakdale Iron
Company of Roane County, Tennessee" is q
new enterprise rapidly assuming grand pro-
portions A correspondent in New York ac-
quainted with the operations of the Company
writes as follows
NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 1872. +
McsSrS. Rule & Rieks:
GENTLEMEN Will you please mail to our
New York office few specimen copies of your
CHRONICLE, selecting, if you conveniently can,
copies containing articles upon iron and the
mineral resources of East Tennessee. Your
articles on this subj ject arc attracting much at
tention here and in reply to the many inquiers
who know something of our own enterprise, we
find the readiest and most satisfactory method
is to refer to copies of the CHRONICLE We are
doing our share towards attracting capital into
East Tennessee The noble-hearted encourage
ment extended us by General Wilder, of the
Roane Iron Company, and the assistance he has
rendered in making our drawings, plans and
contracts have been simply invaluable.
Our furnace will be of 40 tons capacity
duplicate of the new furnace at Rockwood-and
will probably 60 in blast in March or April
next. We have nearly amillion bricks finish,
ed ION the property and steam saw-mill hard
at work, (also on the property, of course) turn
ing out 10 900 feet of lumber per day. Cabins
for the men are finished. Coal opened wi tn
very unusual success, owing to natural
gap or tunnel at the base Of the mountain. We
have thrown out but 80 feet of loose stones and
dirt, when we entered directly on the coaL thus
avoiding the great expense usually incurred by
building inclines and tunnelling through rock
to reach the coal veins. We have already
opened two four feet and one eight feet veins,
with 200 to 250 feet of coal over us. We have
began working our veins of red hemtaite ore in
the ridge and have also discovered valuable
beds of the brown hematite. Our boilers and
our stack-shell, &C., are furnished by the
Lawrence Street Boiler Yards of Cincinnati
and are well under way. The RoaRe Iron Com
pany supply our castings. The Company WAS
organized July 18th, 1872, with capital of
$500. co., We own the ore lying between the
Big Emory river and the Wilcox mines, and
from the Little Emory Gap We own about six
miles east, in fee. We compliment our count
less giant oaks by calling our property Oak
dale;" and at Oakdale loveliest village of the
vale Zone of these days. who knows p we all
intend to live and move and have our being
with our families.
l give you these facts because you may de-
sire as full particulars as you can procure con-
cerning an enterprise which is certainly of mo-
ment to all who are interested in the "Resour-
ces of East Tennessee"
Our purpose is to become Tennesseeans and
identify ourselves with the future of our sectior,

The EpiZOOfic.
Tunes

The symptoms of the sick horses i'll this
place, as we'll as those in the country, are
now sufficiently developed to pronounce
the disease epizootic, the same that has
attacked so many horses recently in other
States. III. G. Lynch's horses, we believe,
were the first to take the disease in the
county, they are all improving but one.
Last Monday being County Court day
there were a great many persons in town,

MUTILATED CURRENCY.
How it is Bought and soId-DetaiIs Of the
Businesss.


BUSINESS.
From the New rlc Times.l
The business of collecting and selling
this description of paper at discount now
forms the trade of great number Of per-
sons in this city. It is a well-known fact
that nearly every person who is in the
habit of carrying money loosely about his
clothes, comes into possession of more or
less of it which is in rapid state of decay
This, passing from hand to hand, soon be-
comes mutilated to such an extent as to
warrant its REFUSAL by business people.
Then it finds its resting-place in the corner
of some unused compartment Of pocket
book or money y-drawer, and in many cases
remains there until finally thrown into
the waste-basket and burned with other
worthless rubbish. Thus a very great
amount of money is annually lost. The
capital stock necessary to successful
prosecution of this business is not neces-
sarily great. A few dollars in the hands of
shrewd speculator will return q very
gratifying revenue, as the prices for mutt
lated currency vary in the most irregular
manner, according to the various stages Of
decomposition.
The price for currency and bills varies.
cent. is paid. In the case of stamps and
bills being so mutilated to an extent which
renders their denomination almost unre-
cognizable, the price is very low, yet they
are as marketable as others.
The mutilated currency thus collected Is
sold Mt the Sub-Treasury in Wall street,
where the discount on mutilated bills av-
erages about ten per cent. Here iU is kept
in quantities, and then forwarded to
Washington, where, at the Treasury Build
ings, it is destroyed. The speculator, in
majority of cases, buys dilapidated curren-
cy at about eighty cents, and sometimes
for seventy-five; this he disposes of at the
Sub. Treasury for ninety, and as this is
about the average of the business its lucra-
tive results may be easily computed on the
extent of ground covered by the specula-
tor. The business is increasing in this
and neighboring cities, women, in many
instances, having adopted it, meeting with
much success.
