NEW YORK WINDFALL.

From the new Bedford Cdass.) Standard
There Is now residing IN tins city widow lady,
ing the past winter has been in exceedingly
straight ened circumstances, with q sick BOY who
needed ali her care. By the kindness OF some
friends she has been aided from time to time, and
her son Is now getting better. In her youth she
married worthy poor man, against the wishes
OF her near relatives, and since that time there
has been prolonged arrangement. few weeks
ago there appeared q notice in some OF the New
York papers that rich man by the name OF Merritt
had died near that city, leaving very large estate
This deceased gentleman proved to be the grand
father OF the lady above referred to. She went to
New York to make inquiries into the matter and
visited some OF her relatives, who received her
more kindly than had been their custom. The re-
suit OF her visit was the finding OF these facts:-
Her grandfather had left an estate OF about
$7,00O,O00, and after various egaces the balance
goes to the legal heirs. She was assured that her
part would not be less than 500 900. and money
was offered her In advance OF the settlement OF the
estate. We extend our congratulations to the
fortunate lady, assuring her that Merritt has its
own reward.
