Sheffield shows that he possessed $61S, 1000 in Connecticut real estate and 3D. 524, ,367.32 in personal property, total of $3, 142, 367.32. This is not by any means the extent If the property, for MT. Sheffield owned valuable real estate in Chicago and the South. This outside property will be re- turned to probate or surrogate courts in the States where. it is situated. The real estate is to be held as 8 principal from which eer- tain annuities of 1928, GOO are to be paid to certain persons, the largest annuity being to the widow. After the death of the annui- tees all the real estate with the exception of the homestead is inventoried at $10O, ,00O and will revert to the Sheffield Sci enti6c school after the death of the widow and George St. John Shefield-will be di- vided the same as the personal estate is to be distributed after the payment of certain be- quests. The principal bequest is $1OO, 900 in bonds of the New Haven and Northampton Railroad company to the Berkeley Divinity school in Middletown The other bequests amount to about $50,OOO The personal es- tate to be distributed evenly between the six children of the deceased and the Sheffield Scientific school is thus reduced to 2,37, 600. Thus the Scientific school and the children will receive $339, 900 each.

 am yours very truly,
 H. B. PERRY. Malley & Go. announce their determination to reopen business as soon as possible. MT. Malley yesterday offered to hire Pecks Grand Opera House temporarily, but could not ob- tain it, the hall having many engagements ahead.
 
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER Since the fire at Malley's store have thought of many things that ought to have bought and bought cheap, as I cannot afford to pay large prices even for necessaries. There are others, no doubt, ,'who feel already as do the loss of place where we can go and get good goods at low prices. Let us in some way express this feeling, so that MT. Malley will be encouraged to start again, and, as heretofore, give us chance as we'll as work to the people he employs.
 The following additional donations to the Firemen's Benevolent fund have been re- ceived
