had to pay him out of a v.ery unsa

good address. He came back from
Richmond Sunday morning, and has
been about town talking to acquaint

manners has been somewhat soften
ed by rubbling up against the world,
thouglh it is quite evident that lie
has been1 dissipating a great deal.
There was an air of sang fro'kl a
sort of dare deviltry about him. for
he seemed to have indulged in a nraii

The Brown Estr.te And Will.
The late J. S. Brown left an estate
reported as bt kvi worth from $40,000
to $70,000 though $60,000 is a fair
