Will OF an Irish Niscr.

An Irishman named Dennis Tolam, who
died at Cork, possessed of considerable
wealth, in the year 1863, LETT a singular will,
containing the following testamcntary dis
position: 81 leave to my sister-in-law fonr
old stockings, which will be found under
my mattress to the right. ltem-To my
nephew Michael Tarlcs, two odd socks and
green night cap. Itcm-TO Lieutenant
John Stein, a blue stocking with a red CLOAK.
ltem-To my cousin Barbara Dolan, my old
boot with red flannel pocket Item-To
Hannah, my housekeeper, my broken wa
ter Jug" After the death OF the testator,
the legatecs having been convened by the
notary to be present at the reading of the
will, each, as he or she was named, shrug-
ged their shoulders and otherwise expressed
a contemptous disappointment, while parties
unnterested in the succession could not re-
frain from laughing at these ridiculous, not
say insulting, legacies. All were leaving
the room, after signifying their intention of
renouncing their requests, when the last
named, Hannah, having testified her indig
nation by kicking away the broken pitcher,
number of coins rolled ont of il; the 9th
or individuals, astOnished at the unexpected
incident, began to think better of their de-
termination, and requested permission tn
examine the articles devised to them. 1t
is needless to say that, on proceeding 10 the
search, the stockings, socks, pocket, Sc,
soon betrayed by their weight the value OF
their contents, and the hoard of the tesla
tor, thus fairly distributed, left on the minds
of the legatees very different impression
of his worth.

The s.Masked RObbcrs.v

The repeated admonitions given by the
press to Sheriff Carpenter, of Westminster
county. in regard to the safe keeping of the
notorious "maskcd burglars now in Jail at
White Plains awaiting trial have by no
means been ill-:imcd. Indeed, it is not
improbable that the strong desire evnced
by Il portion of the community to execute
summary vengeance on the midnight rob-
bers when they were first taken to New
Rochelle proceeded from Il knowledge of
the insecurity of the Jail, when its massive
walls and bolts proved no obstacle to the
escape of other dcsperadoes in times past
During Wednesday night dan" Kelly,
who is known to be the leading spirit and
"head centre" of the gang of masked rob
bcrs, whose nocturnal deprcdatons at New
Rochelle Catskill, and Long Island and else
where are already well known to the pub
lie, made Il quiet though determined effort
to cut his way out of the Jail. Since the
incarceration OF Kelly and his companions
in the Jail he has occupied cell on the sec
onl tier, and in the extreme southcrly end
of the Jail. This cell is considered one of
the most secure in the structure, and, for
this reason, has usually been occupied by
MuRpERERs AWAITING TRIAL.
III IL DuChilOul spout nearly lnc clllTO
two years of his confinement before being
ultimately executed. 1t is different from
most of the other cells in having two strong
latticed doors, and is proportionately strong
in other respects Yesterday morning when
the usual time for allowing the prisoners
the liberty of the Jail arrived, and while
the task of clearing up and making beds
was in process, Kelly might have been seen
chatting unconccrnedly with some of his
companions in crime. Deputy Sheriff
Ford meanwhile, as is his custom, went
through the corridors, glancing into each
cell to see that all was right. That lust
temporarily vacated by Kelly was the last
he entered, and he there saw that the in
dustrious occupant had not been idle during
the night.
A LARGE HOLE
had been made by Kelly in the front wall
of his cell, the object evidently having been
to reach the bolt which fastened the inside
door, which he intended to shove back and
thus reach the outer door. The debris,
composed of broken stone and mortar, had
been carefully concealed in the water clos
ct of the cell. 1t must have required even
more work for the burglar 10 have cut
through block of granite in order to reach
the second floor, but doubtless his ingen-
uity was adequate to the task had time in
his case been more propitious.
ONCE OUT OF his CELL
it is not doubted that the desperate would
have succeeded in escaping.
On the discovery of Kellys attempt to
break Jail being made he was quietly re-
moved to another cell, where additional
precautions will be observed as to his flu
ture operations. Although an attempt was
made yesterday by the Sheriff and his as
sistants to keep the whole affair secret the
matter leaked out, apparently to their sur
prise and modification.

CAPTURE OF COOMASSIE.
A Graphic Account of the Closing
Contest Of the Angle-Ash-
antee War.
King Komoe's Capital.

1.-The 3lst of January" says the cor
respondent of an English newspaper,
will be noted in the annals Of Africa
as the day on which the British soldier
for the first time fairly met the warriors
of the hitherto unconquered Ashantee
Kingdom in their Eative bush, and after
a desperate conflict, lasting five hours
and a half, completely routed them.
Yesterdays fight was the crowning incl
dent of the downfall of the Ashantees.
They may, and probably will, make
another stand before we enter the capi-
tai, but it must be with greatly dimin-
ished forces, and without any OF that
confidence in their superiority over the
white man in the bush with which they
commenced the contest yesterday. The
Ashantee, however, although beaten,
has proved himself worthy OF his repu.
tation, and has won the admiration and
respect of all those who yesterday
fought against him. Nothing could have
been more stubborn than the manner in
which he contested every foot Of the
bush, and time after time attacked our
hanks, in spite of the tremendous mus
hctIy hIC uuuCt WHICH NC uou " ~
vance.
The troops moved early, but it was
1880 O. clock before the head of the Forty
second regiment entered the village,
and marched through without halt.
Then came Rats artillery, followed by
the company Of the Twenty-third and by
the Naval brigade. The latter was to
be broken up, half going with Woods
regiment on the right flank, the other
half with Russelrs regiment to the left.
Owing to the number ofgarrisons left at
the various posts upon the road, Wood s
regiment is now reduced to three com
panies only; Russells to four compa-
nies. These regiments took their places
in the line in rear Of the portion Of the
Naval brigade which they were respect
lively to follow in the fight Then came
Sir Garnet Wolseley with his staff. The

His last salutation on earth has been given.
Demtted By Heavens decree; I
Accepted. We trust, by the Great Worthy Master,
And taken higher degree.
At meeting of Evening Star Grange
held on the 25th ult., the following pream-
BILE and resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, In the dispensation and ruling
Of an all wise and merciful Providence our
worthy and dearly beloved brother, David
H. Morrill,, has been suddenly taken from
our number by the stern hand of death,
Resolved, That while we, as members
and brothers of the same Order, do sincere
" mourn his loss and miss his cheering
presence among US, yet we bow in humble
submission to the will Of the Divine Master
of the Universe, who has taken our broth
er from US, and who doeth all things we'll.
We console ourselves with the thought that
by his exemplary conduct and integrity of
character, while in life, he proved himself
to be a true man and brother, an Affection
ate husband and father, and has passed on
to higher and happier life beyond.
RESOLVED, That with the wife and family
Of our well-beloved brother, we do most
sincerely sympathize, land would offer to them
all the consolation in our power, in this,
their sad bereavement, and commend them
to the source to which all may turn when
overwhelmed with their hearts deepest
sorrow.
Resolved, That these resolutions be print
ed in The GRANGE ADVANCE and Farmers
Union. J.F. McCULLOCH.

In MemOriam.

We have just received the sad intelli-
gence that Bro. David A. Morrill, of Evening
Star Grange, Dakota County, died on the
Oath Of April, after one weeks illness
Our brother has been taken away in the
very prime Of life, being in his thirty-sixth
year. Our acquaintance with him was
short, but long enough to know that his
loss will be almost irreparable to his
Grange and the community iu which he
lived. He took an active, as we'll as a
deep and earnest interest in the
great progressive movement of the farmers
He believed that there was higher station
in life to be attained by the agricultural
classes, and he was striving to attain it.
The writer will not soon forget his kind
words Of encouragement when he visited
Evening Star Grange in the early days Of
THE GRANGE ADVANCE, and when it was
struggling for existence. That was the time
We neededjust such words of cheer and hope
Little did We then suppose that in so short
time our brother would be called fron
the field Of labor, and the companionshiI
Of family, friends and brethren. Peace t.
Ais memory, and thank God for An orgaui
zation that draws closer the bonds Of hu
man brotherhood and enables US to synpa
thi1e more fully with amiotioas and BE-
; 1sa&smsnts of others. .-

market one day last week two steers lack

that weighed twenty -four hundred and sew
enty pounds, which he sold to Tim McCue
for $40. They were beauties, and it
seemed pity to kill them. They were
simply common stock, and Mr.. Peterson
told us that the only secret Of their growth
sad beauty WAS warm stabling, liberal and
regular feeding, and good care from th.
time they were calves.
