THE MERRILL WILL CAsE.-The hearing on
the contested will of Mrs. Caroline Merrill, was
resumed before the Surrogate 10 New York,
Tuesday. Mr.. Vanderveer appeared in behalf
of Bishop Healy of this city. The Rev. Dr.
Chatard testified that he met Mrs. Merrill in
Rome and Naples, where she often spoke of
Bishop Bacon. After his death she asked the
witness if she could not substitute the Cardinal
for the late Bishop Bacon. Mrs. Merrill met
witness and Dr.. Smith in January, 1875, at the
American College in Rome, where she signed
the codicil to the will, and afterwards took it
away. The witness never saw the original will.
Mrs. Merrill seemed to be in sound mind; was
never under duress, and moved in the best CIR
cles. She appeared to be shrewd old lady,
very determined-had a will of her own. TIE
witness heard of Mrs. Merrill afterwards at
Saratoga, but did not see her. While in New
York the witness called at her hotel, but did
not see her as she was then sick.

A DEFAULTING Town TREAsURER.-An
Augusta despatch to the Boston Post says Mr..
Brown, Treasurer of the town Of Monmouth,
mysteriously disappeared about week ago,
and from what can be learned Of his affairs it
is believed he is defaulter to the amount of
$4,000 of the towns funds His flight has
been kept very quiet, as the town authorities
have been hoping that their suspicious would
be proved gronndless by his return; but as no
traces Of his whereabouts having been discover
ed, and as he has been found to be heavily in
debt, all hopes of his return appears to have
been abandoned. Some time since the town
authorized him to borrow $10,0 to meet the
towns current expenses, and he has been re-
ceiving sums of money from various parties and
given bis receipt as Treasurer. 1t is thought
that the town will have to assume the loss, IN
less it is discovered that he has borrowed more
than the specified sum, in which case there
will doubtless be some legal complications. Mr..
Brown has always enjoyed the confidence of
his felow-townsmen hitherto, and his conduct
occasions general surprise.
