his fortune, matter of two hundred

three hundred and sixty-fve such

to his will, being to be useful to his
fellow-citiZens after his death. There
exists, it should be said, in France an
Epitaph Committee, and the mem.

allow the condition Indicated in the

The unpleasant consequence for the

they cannot touch the fortune left
unless their late uncle's instructions
be complied with.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

infamed you have rumbling sound or IN
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the infam-
