TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. 14
John C. Breckinridge's Will.?The will
of John C. Breckinridge has been presented
for probate aod filed. The 1'ollowiog is the first
part of the will:
I, John 0. Breckinridge, of the city of
Lexington aDd State of Kentucky, being of dis
posing mind, do make this my last will and
testament:
Fiist?After the payment of my debts, which
are few and small, aod the expenses of a modest
funeral, I direct that my wife, Mary C. Breck
inridge, shall receive out of the proceeds of my
estate, $10,000, which is not to be charged as
part of her distributable portion of my estate;
and in like manner u?y dauzhter is to 10 receive
$3,000, but this sum is given for cocvouience
as an advancement, and is to be ch;?r<ed as a
part of ber distril utable portion. These sums
are to be paid as soon as may be without a sac
rifice of property.
Second?I leave to my wife all the household
and kitchen furniture, except the furniture in
the room of my daughter Frances, which is to
be hers absolutely, and neither of tbem is to be
charged in respect to these items.
Third?These articles, whose value lies chief
ly in the associations connected with them, as
family pieces, pictures, military relics, and the
like. 1 leave with my wife for distribution be
tween herself and the children, and this 1 trust
entirely to her discretion and affection.
The will distributes the remainder of the
property equally between his wife and his chil
dren. liis wife, James B. Beck and John K.
Vilcy are appointed executors.
A Frenchman learning the English language
complained of the irregularity of the verb "to
go," present tense of which some wag had writ
ten out for him as follows: "I go; thou startest;
he departs;we make tracks, you cut stick*?; they
absquatulate or sktdiadle."
THE MINERAL BUREAU.
The Bureau juf.t established at Alexandria by
the railroad companies to aid in developing the
iron and other mineral resources of Virginia
and promoting home metallurgical industries,
-will be open for the receipt aod public display
ot samples on and after the first of Septembor
next.
ITor the guidance of those who wish to avail
themselves of the advantages which this insti
tution offers, the following items of information
arc given:
.First: It will not undertake to negotiate the
purchase or sale of any lands or minerals. In
its operation it will be confined mainly to dis
playing the samples sent to it, and publishing
all important information in relation thereto
?ommunicated by the senders, acting in the mat
ter as a gratuitous exhibitor and advertiser to
the host of its ability., fur public benefit.
Second: Each sample intended for display
should be as near as possible a truthful averago
of the mass of mineral from which it was taken,
and in quantity sufficient to fill a box measuring
on the outside just one cubic foot. The box
should be a Bightiy one, smooth on the outside,
and fit to be placed on exhibition. Its lid
should he screwed on, not nailed, to avoid
breaking or defacing in opening.
Third : Each box should be distinctly marked
on its lid thus:
(ORK FOR EXH BITI'N.)
Virginia Mineral Bureau,
Alexandria, Va.
And if delivered to the railroad agent at any of
the established way stations, or to the baggage
master on board of any passenger train on the
Washington City, Virginia Midland and Great
Southern Railroad, or any road connecting
therewith, will be transported directly to its des
tination free of charge, out without any liabili
ty for damage, loss or delay. All the roads in
tbe State, it is believed, will immediately unite
in this arrangement. When any box is so sent
the Bureau snould be notified thereof through
the mail by the seuder.
Fourth: Within each box, and securely en
veloped to prevent soiling there should be a
statement, written in a distinct, bold hand, set
ting forth [first] the name and post< Ifice address
of trie sender, [second] the exact location of the
land from which the mineral was taken, and the
probable quantity of mineral upon it, or the
thickuess, length and breadth of the deposit?, so
far as ascertained, and [third] whether or not
the property is offered for sale, and if so offered,
such other information as a person desiring to
purchase would be apt to ask lor.
Filth: Each box, as it is received, will be
opened, labeled and placed for display in its ap
propriate position in the exhibition chamber,
and the written statement found within it will
be inscribed in a general record book, which
will always be open to the public for reference.
An appropriate notice of each sample will be at
once handed for publication to eachol the news
papers'in Alexandria.
fcixtb: The exhibition chamber will bn kept
open to tbe public daily, Sundays and public
holidays excepted, from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. It
will be the duty of the attendant to be courteous
to visitors, and afford them every opportunity
to inspect the samples on display and obtaiu
whatever inlormation in relation thereto of
which the Bureau has possession. It will also
be his duty to carefully protect the samples
Jrom being broken, mutilated or removed; but
this rule will not appiy to prevent limited aver
age portions from being taken, according to
special diiections, for analysis.
