THE WILL.

THE WILL.
After setting out that the subscriber is or
sound mind and under no undue influence,
the document first makes provision for tho
payment of his just debts. The first <evisee
is division of the property coulu not be
made. Gilbert Robertson ftaid to the writer
he was satified with the will and that
he rather expected his share to be held IN
trust.
Boyd Robinson is n nephew residing In
Utica, n. Y. To him is given $1,000 in
cash. To tie two grandchildren, James,
Jr., son of John Robinson, Jr., and to Rob
ert Stickney, Jr., son of Robert Stlckney,
the well known bareback rider. aud Katie
Robinson, Uncle Johns favorite child, pro-
vision is made that if the subscriber recov-
cred he intended to give each grandchlld
deeds for share of the estate, but in case
he did not recover or this clause was not
revoked, then each was to receive SIS, 900.
The marriage of Bob Stickney and Katie
Robinson, it will be remembered, was
highly displeasing to the old gentleman,
and he further shows his dislike for Stick
ney by the special provisions that he shall
not in any way receive benefit. under the
bequest to his son. The requests to the
grandchildren named are to be held in trust
for them, "in view of their age, future edu-
cation and career" The terms of the truss
aforesaid to be declared by the probate
judge.
THE BOYS SHARE ALIKE.
To the surviving sous of testator-Charles
M, Gilbert N and John Robinson, Jr., is
left the entire balance of estate ''share and
share alike" The portion, however, of
Gilbert is to be held In trust for him by
Jack Robinson, who is to pay the income

In this connection testator shows the dis
like he entertained for Emma Lake Robin
son, the divorced wife of Gilbert, by a
clause providing that she shall not receive
any benefit whatsoever from the bequest OF
her ex-husband.

Character of the Stone Recently Ex-

From the philadelphia Ledger.
The report recently circulated in some
of our city Journals and elsewhere regard
ing the finding near Bridgeton, N. j., of an
"antediluvian monster" in some respects
recalling an OK, in others uniting the char
acters of the bovine, equine, and cameleo-
pardaline types, have caused numerous in
ouiries to be made at the academy regard
ing this remarkable creature-a geologic
remnant of the New Jersey sands For the
benefit of those who may not have been in
formed of it's true character beg space to
say that the fossil" in question is no fossil
at all. but mere rock concrettoD, strongly
Stimulating an animal form and bearing in
dications of having been helped along on its
way of luimicry through human resources,
whether Intentionally or Internationally
The specimen, of about the proportions of
an OK, lies in the ferruginous sandstone o t
Ireland's Cove or Mills-a locality, about
one and half miles from Bridgeton, we'll
known to biologists and paleon-
tologists through the abundance
of fossil leaves that are found scattered
throughout the rock. The formation, as
far as has been determined, belongs very
nearly to the newest of the New Jersey
series, and underlies, at least in part, the
yellow gravel that so generally covers the
surface area of the state, and which has
been referred to comparatively modern
period Of time.
The concretiopary ''fossil' lies on its side,
| if the expression may be permitted, and
| shows the apparent outlines Of body, legs,
neck, and head, the last being elevated to
| an erect position. The whole is made up
| of sandstone, in fact so soft as to be readily
| cut by either spade or pick, and shows at
| intervals the regular stratification that be-

bone has been discovered, nor will any

one, either in size or in correct delineation

The remains of fossil man reported from

party first assumed the reins Of governmental

Democratic party had controlled our national

HARRISON Is INDIANA = CHOICE.
Gov. Porter, Of Indiana, innominating
Harrison, said:
In ISIS as in 1850, Indiana seems likely 10
hold the KEY that will free tue letters that
have been boubd about the Republicans for
four years. She IL always a close state, but
when properly worked hes never failed to
elect the Republican candidates. She has
never been better organized than now: the
preliminary work has never been more COM
plcte and the Republican masses seem To have
never been more highly aroused and eager for
the struggle. Give Gen Benz Harrison your
commission 10 lead them and they viii hume
diately fall into lire and press forward with
enthusiastic confidence 10 victory. The con
%vcntion that lately met at ST. Louis disap-
pointed the Democrats Of Indiana by rcfus-
ing TO place an Indiana candidate on the
ticket. The present condition Of Indiana Is
the Republicans party's opportunity. Bcnia-
min Harrison was never guilty Of mentioning
the name Of his ancestors TO gain his pub
lie ends. His self reliance is his great forte.
He negotiated treaties with the Indians while
governor, by which their title to 10000, 600
acres OF land was e~Xtinguished, and the land
was thus opened TO settlement. In a single
one Of these treaties the Indians rclinquished
lands which embraced n third Of Illinois. He
fought the battle OF TippecanOe, defeating
the plans OF the great statesman and warrior,
Tecunseh, and kept portions OF the west
open FOR the admission Of immigrants. He
procured laws that made the burden OF taxes
lighter, and now today among the people cs-
timating highly the character Of Gen. Benz.
Harrison, the latch strings o. the people are
Hospitality out TO you and their doors are
waiting 10 fv open At your touch 10 let in the
joyful air that shall bear upon its wings the
message that Ben Harrison. their soldier
statesman, has been nominated for president
Of the United States.
