70 Revert to the Original Heirs.
NEW YORK, July % An estate situated
In the business portion of the village of Port
Chester, In the township of Rye, N. Y,
valued at Sic, 100000, may be recovered by
the original heirs from the present owners
through the discovery of a record which has
just come to light. When old Roger Mer.
rift lived in 1901, and was the owner of the
two miles of land on Saw Pitts Creek, he did
not surmise that it would ever be the site Of
village. He died leaving about sixty heirs,
among them three brothers named Merritt.
Horace Merritt kept a store at Port Chester
and was an easy-going, generous old-school gen.
tleman, remembered by several old men who yet
live. He removed to Alabama, but probably took
with him the page from the deed of record which
alone substantiates the claim of the heirs TO this
property, said now to be worth the fabulous sum
mentioned. The land was leased from April 20,
in the year 1883 to the present year, and there
fore the whole estate reverts to the Merritt heirs

age of two years he began to show signs of his
remarkable mental powers and In less than three
months was able to almost as many questions

What was the population of Chicago in lsso3'
asked a physician.
Population Of Chicago In $780," said the child.
Then he hesitated for moment, but suddenly
Strengthened up, and, clapping his hands together,
said In his shrill voice:
"The population Of Chicago in 1880 was 5o3,455
The boy gave the exact populations Of New-York,
Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and other cities answering
without the least hesitation. He counted from one
to ten In French, German, Danish, Polish, Russlal
Greek Latin and Chinese Then he switched or
and answered more geographical questions and gave
correct answers 10 pulling questions IN history
The audience which was now thoroughly amazed at
the great mental power displayed, were doubly as
tonlshed when, in answer to request for a speech
on the tariff the lad broke forth In defence OF
protection. lie recited several poems and sang a
song or two After hours Of steady talk, the boy
said that he was not fatgucd in the least.
