A Nice Fortune.

LIMERICK, April 16.- Yesterday, Mr..
ID. =. Mccarthy, a native of Cork, archi-
tect, of harrington street, received
letter signed G.. A. Stanly, New Square,
Lincoln's Inn, informing him as fol-
lows
am directed to inform you that the
first instalment of the O'Keeffe legacy
has come to hand in your favor for $780,
600. The whole or the greater portion
of the &500, 900 left by the deceased will
come to you, except the portion allotted
to your brothers, about which the Crown
will decide.
Mr.. Mccarthy received theintimation
with great equanimity and quiet thank
fulness that his first cousin, Charles
Robert O'Keeffe, late of AlIahabad,
India, who died bachelor, had left
him such splendid fortune, which
made him millionaire five times re-
peated. The parents of the deceased
Mr.. O'Keeffe resided in Cork, and carried
on respectable business there as general
merchants. His father and mother had
occasion to visit London, and there,
contrary to all expectation, his mothar
was suddenly confined in a hotel, and
gave birth to the founder of the colossal
fortune. Both Mr.. O'Keeffe's parents
died before he reached his majority. He
had one brother and one sister, but both
are dead. The brother diedin Australia,
to which he emigrated many years ago,
and his sister died in Cork.

conduct, he said, but what / can do
1 Will. This bill will satisfy the whole
country"
Monsieur" replied DE plerrepont,
In husky tones, "you did as but the
world did. Appearances were against
me and all condemned me.'
=" Edward, my friend" said Arthur,
"you see the danger Of judging from
appearances. Had DE plerrepont been
truly guilty, his wife and child should
have been pitied, not scorned. AS IL ls,
vile prejudice has made these two
woman for fifteen years outcasts and
parlnhs.
Edward made no reply as the break
fast came In. He, like all the country
round, felt Mortified now that they found
out how unjust they had been; never
was wedding more tumultuously hall
ed and feted than that of Arthur De
Versan and Madeleine DE plerrepont.
Still have not heard that one man,
woman or child In the forest Of A Ardennes
has been cured OF this evil habit OF
Judging always from appearances, and
visiting on the innocent the sins Of tie
guilty.

OHIO OFFUTT.
The Leader Of the COucOrdia Bann
Robbers IN Old-Time Bandit.
'a i.I1712 u ~

From the Boone County (Mo.) Sentinel
Ohio Oautt, the leader kof Che
OOncordia bank robbers, an account
of whose capture appears in anoth-
err column of this paper, is Well
known in Boone county. He was
the leader of bandof eight or ten
desperate men, who infested the
Perche hills for several years during
the war. 1t was his band that Capt.
Cook, Of this place, surprised one
dark night, killing four Of Offutts
band and severely woundiug him.
|Offutt fought like a lion, killing
one Of Capt. Cooks men in ahand-
to-hand encounter. Some five Of
the band escaped, but Offutt was
badly hurt. He went to the house
of a farmer, about a mile from
where the fight took place, alone
and covered from head to foot with
blood, almost frightening the farm
er's wife and little children out Of
their wits. He raved like a demon,
and it was a long time before the
farmer could get anything out Of
him. The man Of the house went
immediately for a physician, who
lived in the neighborhood, who
came and dressed the wounds of
the desperate and pursed him until
he recovered. He had been back
to the county several times since
the war, but kept very quiet, only
visiting his old haunts and stop
ping with such people as he knew
to be his friends. He was a tyrant
in those days and ruled the COM
munity where he lived as absolute
" as the Gar of Russia rules the
ssrfs Of his empire He aud his
men lived off the best the country
afforded and forced the people to
not only cook their food, but bring
it to them. The farmers were made
to hand ont oats and corn to feed
their horses, and do their bidding
generally. One Of the most respec-
table citizens in the neighborhood
once refused to go to towA and buy
. 0ffutt a pair Of boots, and was
d knocked down and severely beaten
! for his temerity. ! Many people in
this county will rejoice to hear Of
his capture.

and for many years a Professor ID
the Christian Brothers college here.
Ho was an unassuming, amiable
&c ntleman, and came like a Chris
tian knight to battle. He has gone
to his reward.
Among the noble hearted and
true will be remembered Mrs Cara
Parker. AS soon as the little lady
recovered from a very severe attack
OF fever, she went nobIy to work,
and like a ministering angel you
will find her smoothing the dying
pillow and caring for the sick and
distressed, and cheering them with
her gentle and loving countenance.
She is never firing in her efforts.
Among those deserving special
mention as philanthropists, in this
our hour of need, we beg to men
ton Sister Francis, of the Church
Orphans Home. o Who does not
love children7 and who does not
open their hearts to the calls Of
these dear little ones, now thrown
upon the cold charities Of the
world5 Bereft of all-father, mo-
ther, sister, brother-all their kind
red. There are some kind hearts
who have devoted their time and
attention to aleviating the wants Of
these-our orphans. Prominent
among them is Sister Francis, al
the Church Orphans Home. There
is a spring Of kindness in her hear
that regularly GIBBS and flows, anG
each drop in this heart, from thiI
spring, goes out to some little one
who has lost all. She fills the place
of father, mother, sister, brother
God bless her, and may he lengther
her days to five score.
