ROCHESTER, N. Y, Jan 31.-The will of
Henry S. Potter, who died but recently, leav-
ing an estate valued at 81, zoe, 600, was pre-
ssnted for probate. One clause in the will
directs his executors as follows:
Give to my son, Charles B. Potter, one
sixth Of the net income OF my real estate pro
vided he shall not live with or at any time
contribute in any manner to the support and
maintenance Of his present wife, Jennie W
Potter.
The son mentioned bears an excellent repu-
tation in this city He is a frugal and up
right citizen but has been unwilling to bow
to the iron win Of his father. His wife, who
stands high in social circles, is refined and
educated lady, daughter of DR. Weaver,
formerly of Auburn. Her mother was first
cousin to Gideon WeIles, President Lincoln's
secretary of the navy, and all the members
OF the family are people of excellent reputa-
ton. The son proposes to contest the clause
given, which is believed toll have besn inserted
through the influence of his two sisters, who
are said to be Jealous of the superior social
and intellectual requirements of their sister

FosToRIA, Ohio, Jan ,Sl--The town Of
Arcadia, six miles west of here is blazing
with excitement over threatenings ma lie by
unknown parties to fire the town and murder
the best citizens The school directors of the
town have just built s., 100 schooi-house.
Amen the teachers employed is Miss Ask
come, Of Vaniue, who seems to be the limo
cent cause Of all the difficulty On the e6th
inst, threatening letter was found on the
desk OF the superintendent OF schools The
letter charged Miss Askcon,es father with
several crimes too hoITibleto mention. Soon
after this yihainous communication was re-
ceiyed each OF the school directors got let
ter threatening his life and property if he did
not have Miss Askcome discharged. But
little attention, however, was paid to these
threats, as they were supposed to come from
some one who was jealous of the young lady.
Seven or eight of such letters in all were
received, the handwriting being good, while
not single word was mispelled, showing
that the writer was a person of education.
As measure OF precaution, watchmen were
stationed at the drug store, school-house and
several other places, all of which had been
threatened, to save them from the incendi-
aries torch - ..s3-- oll--
About 11:30 at night the parties made their
appearance at the residence of Mr.. Morgan
thall, where the young Lady was boarding, and
sent large hammer whizzing into the room
In which she was supposed to be asleep Nor
ganthall at once jumped up and went to the
door, when three pistol shots were fired
at him in rapid succession, one bullet whiz-
Eing by his head The marauders then de-
canped Miss Askcome has rendered her
resignation as teacher. but the directors
have refused TO accept it, saying they purs
pose to ferret ont the whole thing

The Body of DelmOnico Found.
fBv telegraph to the Dispatch.

Nv tclctripn 10 TIE jllSDjlcni
NEWARK, n. j., January 1.-THE body
OF Charles DelmOnico was found this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock by two boys tramping in
the woods Of the Orange mountains, near
the summer residence OF General McClel-
Ian. There were no marks OF violence
upon the body and no evidence OF robbery.
Death was from exposure.
Charles Delmonico probably died Of
cold and exposure on Sunday, January 9Th.
About 2 O'clock Sunday morning John
Dleffinthal, who works for a farmer on
Orange mountain. while driving from
Mont Clair TO Orange saw a man leaning
YEARLY against 4 fence. 1t was at the
junction of the mountain road leading
from Orange to Mont Clair. 1t is certain
that the man was Demonico; he hailed
Diefiinthal and begged for shelter. The
farmer said that the speech OF the way
farer was so thick that he could scarcely
understand him. Delmonico's speech has
been thick since his trouble has come on
him. The night was bitterly cold. but the
farmer, who OF course did not recognize
the wanderer. was afraid of tramps.
and instead OF taking the man into
his wagon drove of after directing him to
Orange, mile distant. The wanderings oil
the unfortunate man from this point can
only be coniectured. His body was found
in deep gully alongside the Mortified
road. He probably walked off the road
into the gully during the darkness and
storm. Delmonico mad apparently been
dead several days. When found the body
was partly covered with sand, and water
was flowing over it. The face was bl0ated,
but otherwise unchanged. His watch had
stopped at seventeen minutes OF 6. Messrs.
Crist, Mora, Hoey, and Babcock arrived in
a special train to convey the remains to
New York this afternoon.
