Elizabeth Dandurand and her hus-
band ii. G. Dandurand, parties who are
heirs to the estate of the late William
Lay, of Binghampton, n. Y, have been
found in this city. The estate amounts
to about $3.50, 900, as near as we can
learn. When the old man died no one
in the place knew that he had a relative
in the world. However, their were
honest men among those who over
hauled the old mans belongings; and
carefully slowed away in a box among
other things which he seemed to have
treasured was letter from his niece.
now Mrs. Dandurand. We have seen a
copy of the letter, and can say that it
was most kind and open-hearted one.
The girl has married in this land of sage
brush, is pleasantly settled, and appears
to be anxious to find a relative some
where in the world to whom to commune
cate her happiness. By chance she
learns the address of the old uncle.
whom she has not seen since she was a
child, and to him gives the story of her
success and happiness. The chances are
that the old fellow never answered the
letter, but it would seem that he was so
lar impressed as to preserve it; and now
the girl who thought of the old uncle.
and wished to tell him of her marriage.
and her two children and other such
things as fill the hearts of women, will
reap reward she little dreamed of at
the time.
