American Watchman And Delaware Advertiser

From the Democratic Press.

A circumstance of some interest which lately took place in Bucks County, seems to me too honorable to one of the parties not to be laid before the public. Although I am familiar with the names of the parties, I do not feel authorised to use them. The only fear I have is, that even with this reservation, I may wound the feelings of a man whose high sense of duty does him much honor. About 20 years ago a farmer in Bucks County, in good circumstances, died, and left his farm, &c. to one of his sons; to the other, who had offended him, he bequeathed six hundred pounds. Notwithstanding the utmost efforts of the poorer brother, he found himself unable to obtain the six hundred pounds from his more wealthy brother, and with a family, he was obliged to struggle through life without getting any portion of the money left him, by the will of his father.-- Lately the wealthy brother died and his property fell to an only son. So soon as he got possession of the property, he ascertained the amount of the legacy bequeathed by his grandfather to his uncle, he then added the interest which accrued all the time the legacy had been withheld, and for the whole amount he forthwith sent a check to his uncle. May he long live happily to enjoy the wealth he has and may it increase ten fold under his upright administration of it.
