HAfter the death of Mark Hopkins,

EAfter the death of Mark Hopkins,
one of the Bonanza millionaires of Cali
fornis, the property was distributed
among the heirs. A short time since
Mr.. c. P. Huntington, friend of the
Hopkins family, was in Washington on
business and accidentally learned that
the United States Treasurer had $4,000
600 in bonds and $500, 600 in gold which
he was holding in trust for the Hopkins
heirs Mr.. Hopkins had kept no record
of the deposit of this vast sum, and it
was not included in the Inventory after
his death. His heirs claimed it, and it
will be divided amung them. There are
not many fortunes in this country or any
other, from which S., 800, 900 would not
be missed. fiife

FROM GRANVILLE, OHIO.

Ed. SrIRlr As have seen nothing
in your columns from this part Of the
State. l will take the liberty ofsendings
you few items. q
Granville is situated in a beautiful val
ley, about six miles north of Newark.
Raccoon Creek. q fork OF Licking, runs
past the town ON the south /; the streets
run parallel with the creek, and are very
wide and beautifully lined with shade
trees. There is nothing lacking, but
public spirit, to make Granville one of
the most picturesque towns in the State.
There is strong talk now of railroad,
and perhaps il it comes it will move the
people to brush up a little and make the
town what it ought to be. 1t has been
noted as a seat of learning, and it has
now college and two seminaries. The
college first stood on a hill one mile
south Of town: it now stands on small
hill Oh the north, and is very convent
ent for those who wish to board in town.
1t is now provided with large and ele-
CANT library hall, called Doane Hall, in
honor of the man who presented it. The
seminaries are not provided with such
good buildings, but nevertheless they are
doing good work, and receive liberal
patronage.
The country surrounding Granville is
very beautiful. There are no such hills
as we have in Old Monroe, and yet it is
billy enough to make the scenery splen
did The land is mostly cleared, ant
yet there is enough woods to preserve
that variety which is essential to the per
feet landscape. The farmers turn thei
attention to stock raising and, as gene
raj thing, the stock is good.
When I look at the beautiful greer
hilsides, dotted with sheep, can no
nelp recalling our hillsides in Old Mon

Fatal Accident Near Freeport.

On Sabbath evening, the 2Sth ult.
near Freeport, whilst returning home in
a wagon, Mr.. and Mrs Harvey Moore
met with terrible accident which result
ted in the death of their little babe aged
seven months. In making steep as

residence the tugs of the harness broke,
letting the vehicle run backwards down

right side up on the top of Mr.. Hughes
garden fence. Mr. Moore escaped un.
hurt, but Mrs. Moore was severely
though not dangerously injured. She
had her babe in her arms and clung to
it until Mr. Hughes came to her aid and
took it. The infant fingered in a coma
tose state till the following Thursday
when it died from its injuries. Every
kindness was shown the afflicted ones Of
