The Robert Morris Estate.

The recent settlement Of the estate Of Rob.
ert Morris, seventy four years after his death,
naturally recalls the remarkable life of the
illustrious financicr, of whom little is remem-
bered by the mass of the people. 1t seems
strange that the estate of the man who, ut the
beginning of the revolution. was one of the
largest merchants in the country, and who
managed the fiscal affairs of the government,
should be worth less than $40 900 Although
English by birth. he came to these shores
when he was only thirteen and subsequently
devoted his energies, his money and his credit
to the support of the liberal cause. On his
personal responsibility he often borrowed
large sums for the government, which, on
account of the peculiar condition of the fed
eral treasury, could not have been raised in
any other manner. Vixen he was forty -six,
in con junction with other persons, he found
ed n bank in Philadelp bia, and by its agency
5000. 900 rations and 800 hogsheads of rum
were forwarded to the colonial army. Some
months later he was appointed superintendent
of finance. and was invested by congress with
almost entire monetary control of the gov
eminent. The treasury was then more than
81 500, 900 in debt; the army was destitute
and the public credit was exhausted He fur
nished Mt that time provisions for the suffer
ing soldiers, and in the campaign of 1871
supplied the expedition against CORVALLIS
with nearly all its equipment. He made
heroic efforts to redeem every dollar of the
81 400, 900 of the private notes he had issued
for that purpose. and was eventually success
full. Harassed in divers WAYS, and indignant
at the nonfu lfllment of some of the States of
their solemn promise he sought to retire from
public office, but was persuaded, for the pub
lie good, to continue to serve seven years
longer. At the age of ftty-three he was

strong enough she would leave Chiselhurst,
taking with her the remains of her beloved
husband and son.

Shocking Death.

THE ENDING OF THE SUPPOSED CASE OF
llYpRorHoBIA AT ELizABErHPoRr.
The death of Joseph Moorhouse, which &C.
Cured at Elixabethport, n. j.. on Monday
night from hydrophobia, is said by the at
tending physicians, eight in number, to be
the most sudden on record, the patient dying
less than - hours after the first attack.
Moorhouse. while playing with pet mongrel
dog on the Goth of May last, was bitten in the
wrist. The arm was swollen for few days.
DIR. Pickett, of Elizabeth, cauterized the
wound and Moorhouse thought no more of
il. After saving some wood last Friday he
said he felt a pain in his arm but ascribed it
to rheumatism. On Saturday he told his
sister that he felt an itching sensation about
the wound. On Sunday morning he attend
ed the Fulton street NJ. L. church, where he
led the choir. When he came home he said
his shoulder panied him and decided not to
go to church in the evening. He was
bachelor and lived with his two sisters in
cottage on Broadway. When the sisters re-
turned from church in the evening they found
him sitting in the kitchen. He wore dazed
expression and said that he could not sleep
A young man volunteered to sit up with him.
Toward morning Moorhouse became excited
and called for water, but when water was
brought to him he pushed the glass away and
complained that he was choking. Early on
Monday morning Drs. Renau and Mack were
called in. Finding the man intensely excited
they injected morphine and hastily called in
Drs. Brown and Pickett. After consultation
four other physicians were sent for, and on
joint consultation they agreed that Moorhouse
had hydrophobia. In the mean time the man
had became violent, and morphine was in
jected sufficient in quantity. the physicians
said, to quiet % men, but it was of no avail.
Spasms did not set in until towards night
Between the spasms Moorhouse constantly
called for water and tried to drink it. with

to say once for all that have never, in pub
