COMMODORE VANDERBILT's VILLA New
York correspondent says: A natural anxiety
exists to see Commodore Nanderbil's last
will and testament, but there is no proba-
bility that it will be gratitied for some days
to come, Notwithstanding the persistent in.
quirics Of the newspaper reporters in and
about the Surrogate's office. AS on the death
of A. T. Stewart, there is scarcely benevo-
lent or religious institution in the city that
has not great expectations Of legacy, and
until these anticipations are confirmed or
dssipated, the peace of mind Of a great
many people, it is probable, will be seri-
ously disturbed. Meanwhile, there are
various rumors afloat-one, that the Com
modore has left DR.. Deems a large sum
wherewith to build him new place Of
worship; another, that he has made pro-
vision for the liberal endowment of a city
library; another, that he has LETT million
for the benefit Of the outdoor poor; and
still another, that a large portion Of his for
tune has been devoted to the eXtinguish-
ment of the city debt, as token Of gratitude
to the community among whom bis vast
wealth was accumulated. Until the will is
admitted to probate the truth or falsity OF
these reports, OF course, must remain a
matter OF conjecture. g..

DEATH OF An AGED WoMAS.-The follow
ing statements are taken from the p hiladel-
phia Ledger Of the 9th instant: s'Mrs. Hes
tor Arts, OF Kent county, Del, died De-
cember 26th, aged one hundred and sixteen
years, seven months and one day. She was
born at jamestown, Va, and the record OF
the date Of her birth is preserved in family
Bible. She was young woman OF seven
teen when her father was summoned to the
war Of the Revolution, and remembered the
event when the nation, which he helped to
found, was celebrating the centennial ami.
yersary OF its birth. Mrs. Arts had a
daughter aged eighty years living with her
at the time OF her death, and had many rcla-
tiyes living in Philadelphia, whom she visited
as late as the fall of 1875. She was too
feeble to visit the city during the Centennial
Exhibition"
