. -Pete's Wilcox Budget.
Wilcox, Pa., June 3.
While Col. Wilcox's family ' were
out riding last Wednesday near Bridge
town, about three miles from home,
the carriage upset and Mrs. Wilcox
was severely hurt, having her left
shoulder partially dislocated and being
otherwise badly bruised. The carriage
was so badly broken that they could
not return with it and Mrs. Wilcox
was obliged to remain by the side of the
road until Uio driver,' Mr. Prideaux,
could come and get another carriage.
Mrs. Wilcox is getting along as well
as could be expected, but having im
perfect use of her right arm this in
jury to the left one renders her almost
entirely helpless.

We have been favored with samples
of the celebrated Speneerlan Double
Elastic Steel Pens, and after trying
them feel justified in highly commend
ing them to our readers. They are
made of the best steel, and by the
most expert workmen iu Europe, and
have a national reputation for certain
desirable qualities which no other pens
seem to have attained in so great per
fection, among which are uniform
evenness of point, durability, flexibil
ity, and quill action. It is thus quite
natural that the Spcncerian should be
preferred and used by professional pen
men, in business colleges, counting
rooms, government offices, public
schools and largely throughout the
country. Indeed, so popular have
they become, that of the "Number
One" alone, as many as eight millions
are sold annually.
The Spcncerian Pens may be hud, as
a rule, from any dealer ; but when
not thus obtainable, the proprietors,
Messrs. Ivison, Blakcman, Taylor &
Co., the well known publisher, 138 &
140 Grand Street, New York, will send
for trial, samples of each of the twenty
numbers on receipt of twenty-live
cents.

pany has parties surveying both ends
of the. route which is to connect the
Bradford Branch with the P. & E. R.
R. The new road will probably leave
tho Bradford Brunch at the Summit,
one and a half miles north of Alton.
Three miles east of the Branch the
Lafayette Coal Company has a large
mine of excellent coal, and It is a de
cided point in the survey to strike this
coal deposit, which is said to be su
perior to any mined on the Branch.
Tho new line will strike the P. & E.
R. R. at Johnson berg, a small station
between Ridgway and Wilcox. It
will take a course from the Summit
somewhat east of souih, in the direc
tion of Sniethport, not probably, how
ever, striking that place, pussing west
ward of it. This route is taken to
avoid crossing the Kin.ua lower down
the valley, where its depth is greater,
and where heavy grades aud expen
sive bridges and trestles would be
necessary. Botli surveying parties are
being rushed through and It is antici
pated that work will commence ou

" Yes," responded the pious prelate;

of David would be more in consonance

Judise Packer's Will.
The last will and testament of the
late Asa Packer has been admitted to
probate. The testator had an immense
estate to disposo of, and he' took special
pains to make his several bequests
witli such regard for details and con
tingencies, immediate or remote, as to
leave no point for litigation or judicial
construction. Tho will was signed on
the 14th of May, '75, but several supple
mentary and explanatory clauses were
added as late os May 22, 1877. In the
original instrument the testator signed
his name at t he bot tom of each page,
and the witnesses attested this fact in
their formal certificate at the execu
tion of the will.
Judge Packer's two sons, Robert A.
and Harry E., and Messrs. Elish P.
Wilson and Robert H. Sayre, of Beth
lehem, and the president of the Le
high Valley Valley Railroad Company,
are named as executors. For the sake
of convenience the executors are
called "trustees'' in the will. When
ever there is a change in the presi
dency of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
the testator directs that the retiring
president shall give place to his suc
cessor as one of the executors, it being
his wish always to have the president
of the company acting ns a " trustee"
to carry out the provisions of the will.
The whole estate is devised to these
"trustees," and the concurrent action
of four of them is to be conclusive
upon ail ; except that in voting upon
the Lehigh Valley Railroad slock
three of the "trustees'' can determine
how the vote shall be cast. They ore
directed to settle their accounts at
least once in three years. They are
empowered to manage the railroad and
the coal lands according to their best
judgment, and to borrow money,
execute mortgages, and bind the estate
as fully as the testator could if living ;
also, to subscribe to the stock of any
new railroads, the building of which
may be deemed advantageous to the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company and
the estate; and to subscribe for any
new issue of bonds which may be
made by (lie said railroad company.
The will gives absolutely to the
widow such portion of the estate as
she may select, and the trustees are di
rected to hand over to her at any time
whatever sum of money or piece of
properly she may demand. If she
should desire that a fixed annual in
come should be set apart for her, the
trustees are directed to comply with
her wish. Said the testator, "My
purpose is that she (Mrs. Pucker) shall
have whatever she wk'hes out of my
estate, and all other provisions hereof
are subordinate to this one." The
family residence (two houses) at
Mauch Chunk is bequeathed to the
testator's daughter, Mary Hannah
Pucker, and his son, Harry E, Pucker,
us.joint tenants. Mrs. Packer has the
right to occupy the one house during
her life. Tho survivor of the joint
tenants is to have this property, and
it death it is to go to the children of
one or both ot then to ilohert A.
Packer and his children. The object
of tho testator was to keep this piece of
properly in the family us long as the
laws of inheritance would permit. A
house iu Bethlehem is devised to the
testator's sou, Robert A. Packer.
Special legacies are jriven to the tes
tator's nephews and nieces as follows :
$25,000 to Elisha P. Wilbur; $10,000 to
Warren W. Wilbur; 10,000 to Mrs.
Helena Rathbun; $10,000 each to
Robert and John Rathbun, and the
same to Ualue 1'iteh. Robert II.
Sayre gets 5185,000. Small bequests are
made to various remote relatives and
personal friends; $10,000 to Mrs. Ma
rion Skeer, the testator's adopted
daughter, and $50, OM to be divided
among her two children ujul the three
children of testator's deceased daugh
ter, Mrs. Lindcman, share and share
alike. These bequests lire intended
to go into effect immediately, and do
not depend 011 the liual disposition of
the testator's estate.
The Divinity School of the Protes
tant Episcopal Church ut Philadelphia
gets $;;3,.",0U; Jefferson Medical Col
lege, $5,000; Muhlenberg College, at
A llentown, $30,000; St Mark's Church,
Mauch Church, $30,000; Washington
and Lexington College, Va., $5,000,
All the legacies mentioned in this
paragraph aro to be paid in annuity
bonds of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company. The Lehigh University,
in South Bethlehem, Is to have
500,000, the trustees under tho will to
hold the same and to pay tho "in
come " to the trustees of the univer
sity for its support. In addition to
this the trustee are directed to pay to
the trustees of the Lehigh University
the income of $500,000, the same to be
applied to t he erection of a building
for a library and the purchase of
books. This institution to be called
the "Lucy Packer Library," in mem
ory of the testator's daughter. St.
Luke's Hospital, at Bethlehem, is to
have the "income" of $300,000, on the
condition that employees of tho Le
high Valley Railroad Company are to
bo received and cared for free of
charge.
The. trustees are directed to puy to
Mary Hannah, Robert A., and Harry
E. Packer, tho testator's three chil
dren, $20,000 each per tiummi, and the
income of the remainder of the estate,
after the specific bequests have been
met, is also to be divided equally
among them. Each ! of these three
children is empowered to dispose by
will of the one-sixth of the estate that
remains, such bequests to take effect
upon tho termination of the trusts un
der the original will, which are all to
terminate twenty-one years after the
death of the last survivor of the testa
tor's three children, and the portion of
me estate wuiuu remains not otnerwise
disposed of at that time is to be di
vided among the living descendants of
the said three children and the portion
of the estate which remains not other
wise disposed of at that time is to be di
vided among the living descendants of
the said three children, per stirpes, the
issue of each child taking only what
the parent would have taken if living.
The testator explains in a codicil
that it was his wish that the executors
and trustees should retain and con
tinue his investments in the stock and
other securities of -the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, and other companies con
nected with it during the continuance
ot the trusts ; anil where legacies and
bequests consist of stock of the Lehigh
Valley Railroad, the legatees are only
entitled to the "income" of said stock
