MIR. Summers Will

Mr.. Summers will was found in one of
his desks, Thursday, and was opened by
Mr.. Hooper in presence Of Representa-
tive Pierce, Ben Perley Poore, and Mr.
johnson, the senator's private secretary.
The will was written by Mr.. Sumner in
September, 1872, just before his last visit
to Europe. He bequeathed all his pa
pers, manuscripts and letter books to
Henry w. Longfellow, Francis +. Balch
and Edward l.. Pierce as trustees, all
his books and autographs to the library
of Harvard College; his bronzes to his
friends of many years, Henry w. Long
fellow, and DR.. Samuel G. Howe. He
gives to the city of Boston, for the AIT
museum, his pictures and engravings,
except the picture of the Miracle of
the Slave" which he bequeaths to his
friend, Joseph B. Smith of Boston. To
Mrs. Hannah Richmond Jacobs, the
only surviving sister of his mother, he
gives an annuity of $500. There is a be-
quest of $4,000 to the daughters of Henry
w. Longfellow; $4,000 to the daughters
of DIR. Samuel G. Howe, and $4,000 to
the daughters of James T. Furness of
Philadelphia, which," he says, 81 ask
them to accept, in token of gratitude,
for the friendship their parents have
shown me" The will directs that the
residue of his estate shall be distributed
in two equal moleties one moiety to his
sister, Mrs. Julia Hastings of San Fran
cisco, CAL, the other moiety to the presi
dent and fellows of Harvard, in trust for
the benefit of the college library, the in
come to be applied to the purchase of
books. In reference to this last moiety
the will adds: "This bequest is made
in fiIial regard to the college. In select |
ing, especially the library, am governed
by the consideration that all
my life have been user Of books,
and, having few of my own, | have re-
lied on the libraries of friends, and on
public libraries, so that what / now do
is only return for what | freely re
ceived" Francis B. Balch of Boston,
formerly clerk to the Senate committee

was chairman of that committee, is des-
gnated sole executor of the will. Mr..
Summers estate is valued at 100000.

The AUToPsY.-An autopsy of the
body of Mr.. Sumner was held Monday
morning and proved that DIR. Sequard,
who has given Mr.. Sumner medical ad.
vice for years, had been entirely correct
in his diagnosis of the disease which at
last terminated the mortal existence of
the dead Senator, and with which he had
suffered since 1857. The disease was
clearly and emphatically angina pecto-
ris, one for which there is no common or
vulgar name. All the organs of the
body were perfectly healthy, except the
heart, and the brain showed not the
slightest trace of the terrible assault
made by the dastardly Brooks, score of
years ago, the only memorial of it upon
his person being the cicatrice on the out
side of the head.
The office report is as follows; The
left coronery artery, in considerable
portion Of its length, was so much ossi-
fed that its calibre was diminished at
least one half The right coronary ar
terry was slightly atheromatous and con-
siderably enlarged. The cavities of the
heart were dilated, especially the lower
third of the left ventricIe. The walls OF
this ventricle were generally thinner than
usual, especially so at point about an
inch and a half from the apex, over a
space of two thirds of an inch in diane
ter. In the vicinity of this were several
small clots of blood, some of which had
probably formed before death. Nothing
abnormal was found in the brain or 9th
er organs.

The Massachusetts legislature has the
sudden and highly important duty thrust
upon it, of filling the vacancy occasioned
by the death of Charles Sumner. Judge
Hoar and Fl. L. Dawes appear to be the
most prominent candidates, while the
names of Banks, Charles Francis Adams,
Wendell Phillips, Gov. Washburn, Gov.
Bullock, and others have been mention
ed. The country generally will hope
that Massachusetts will do on this occa-
sion, what she owes TO herself-elect her
beat and strongest man.

STRUGGLE FOR MEMESToEs
As soon as the Senate adjourned rush
was made by large numbers of women
and some men To the vacant seat of Sem
ator Sumner to gain possession of the
flowers which had been placed upon his
desk, and similar attempts were made TO
carry off part of the floral decorations
that had been removed from the catafal-
que and coffin. The crowd managed to
obtain possession of good many flowers
before the officers Of the Senate could
interfere.
A CoLoRED BODY GUARD.
When the procession left the Capitol
1t Was the intention that the carriages
should Immediately follow the hearse,
but body Of about 1000 colored men,
who had been standing two hours in
waiting in the bleaKest wind of the year,
formed in close ranks directly in the rear
of the hearse, and insisted upon follow
ing it to the station. The Sergeant-at.
Arms was entirely unable to induce them
to abandon their purpose. They propo-
sed to follow their dead champion to the
last, and did not leave the rear OF the
hearse until it had arrived at the depot.

branches to the multitudes.

A reunion of the family of Nathan
and Sally Weston, late of Chester, con
sisting of ten children, six sons and fouI
daughters, whose united ages are 81,
hundred and three years, took place a
the residence of S. A. Weston in Chester
the 18th day of Feb, which seemed t
be an occasion of much joy and satisfac
ton to all present. The following line,
by Mrs. Fanny Lee Smith, relative o
the family, were contributed for the oc
casion:
Reunion, Retrospect and Prospect.
Friends. near and dear assembled here,
Give hand and heart and hearty cheer.
And pledge anew. this lapse of time.
Our youthful loves, of Auld. Lang Syne."
We are not old! our hearts yet bound
With Joyous thrills-this circle round;
Youths impress, ever stamps the soul
The iRaermost-no years control.
We are not old our thoughts 60 back,
To huskng bees, and High Low Jack;
And apple parings. round the hearth.
OF blazing logs, and harmless mirth,
And counting, seeds, and jokes and fun.
And songs and stories had their run;
And cheeks like apples. rosy red,
Blushed deeper at the sweet words said.
And when the piles of fruit were strung
And on the poles in rows were hung
Then pumpkin pies, and much good cheer.
Led on to games and "tortetts " dear.
Soon music of a certain sound.
Sets all the feet to timely bound
With airy grace we'd whirl and wheel,
Through contra dance and flying reel.
We hear again the social calls,
To sleighing parties, fetes and balls;
And singing schools. where loss and gain
Of hearts, attest sly cupid's reign.
With wraps, and furs, and merry bells.
And spirits fresh as bubbling wells.
We swiftly skim the well trod snow,
And laugh and jest, though keen blasts blow.
But sterner duties come apace
For life is Rota trifing race;
ris first the leaf, then bud, then flower,
And fruit at the appointed hour.
Though buds and flowers and fruit half grown,
OFT wither ere the noontide sun;
THIS tree still stands erect and proud,
None but its topmost branches bowed.
Near fifty years of life, ween
The youngest of this band has seen;
And mixed with tears and JOY for ALL
Honey and NORWOOD, sweets and gall.
Wen fret not for the days agone
For brighter. fairer is the morn,
That waits the new, the second BIRTH
That lifts our feet to heaven from earth.
The vail is rent that hides from sight
The real world of love and light;
The scales falling from our ey es,
The shadows flee as darkness hies.
Dear friends we've wept for, come and sit
Around our boards, nor intermit
Kind offices. and warmest love,
Still flows for from lands above.
So constant sadness finds no room.
For light from heaven proelaims high noon;
Ashes and sackcoth find no place.
This is the day, the hour of grace
We sow and reap, and gather stores
Of spirit sheayesi along the shores;
And we soc, the word is sealed,
80 shall we reap, and stand revealed
With kindly deeds and loving hearts,
Well bear of trials our several parts,
I'LL hands are clasped for aye and aye,
In homes of bliss and endless day.
