A MIsER WORTH HALF A MILLIoN.-An
eccentric old bachelor named kentish, aged
nearly half that time, has been found dead in
his bed. He was formerly cashier at a bank,
during the railway mania forty years ago.
This he carefully invested, and 1t is estimated
that it will now amount to considerably more
than f1OO, OOO the whole of which, in default
Of q WILL goes to some distant connection.
The deceased occupied plainly-furnished lOdg-
tngs and lived In penurious manner. He
was never known to give away q penny; and
his sole pleasure was In saving. He was ex-
tremeiy deaf, though active for his age. His
grotesQue appearance and habits were well
known In Croydon, but few were aware OF his
enormous wealth.
