Inheriting Small Fortune, &c.-The Bel
air Agis says: "a somewhat strange circum-
stance in connection with Mr.. John w. Dieter,
who was literally ground to death in his mill, on
the Little Gunpowder, short time ago, by being
caught in the gearing, has lately come to light
There lived in his family young man who was
called William Dieter, and who was reputed to be
a son of Mr. and Mrs. Dieter. The unfortunate
miller and wife formerly lived at Norwich, Conn.
When they left there, eighteen years ago, they
took with them, as an adopted son, little boy,
% years old. The child was called William
Dieter, and was educated and cared for rs their
own son. The boy always supposed Mr. and Mrs.
Dieter his parents, having no recollection of
his own father and mother. Mr.. and Mrs. Dieter
removed to Hartford county about fourteen years
ago. when William was about six years of age.
"Mr. Dieter, it seems, had occasionally CORES
ponded with the boys guardian, in Norwich, with
out the boys knowledge and without letting him
know that he was not his child. About four
months ago William received letter from his
guardian, informing him that his true name was
William Smith and that he would be twenty-one
years of age on the 18th of April, 1884. The let
Ter also informed him that III Tie nsnus

for Norwich on Monday, the day after he attain

much affection and kindness as if he were their

repulsive to good taste, fencing dilapidated in
many places and lettering to its fall.
