Geddes to the court that the will was rather a remarkable one, and, when be had first seen it, he had ques tioned whether it could be probated or not, but upon a closer examination of it, he found that it was regularly and properly executed. The testator died September 15, 1860, and the will was probated September 25; 1880, being dated at Warrensville, Lycoming county, Pennsyl vania, October 14, 1870. lt was written by the testator in Uermaa, a translation Having been made by Mr. Adolph Neimeyer, of the Saving Institution oi uiiamspori. u.ii.1 on Thursday aiiernoim usuM ith nrk.

LIFE IN MEXICO. FI'ST HARBOR OX THE PACIFIW. IH11U una in Gold and Mirer fn tbe VI clnlty Future Port of American Anwtralian Trade Field for Duierprlvtus; Yankees. (Correspondence Times aud Dispatch. Guaymas, Mexico, January 20, 1881.

This quaint old town in Bonora, Mexico, is looated on the east shore of the Gulf of California and has a harbor, land locked and sheltered from the sea with approaches through channels between the Inlands of San Viosate, Pi tayas aud Cocliori. Th. odd and distinctive features of this strange old town ara so peculiar that I hays been tempted to give your readers soma idea of its location, its future possibilities, and souiethtug of the antedatuyiaa hab its of this oity of suuls, I oauia down from 'Frisco on a very comfortable coastwise steamer whioh touches here about once a mouth, carryiug a few pissaujiers and a li ht cargo of wds. We anchored one bright mora. lug 10 thu oaroor, and wuiie ws wars preparing to go ashore 1 wok iu the wild and romaa tic surroundings ol luis port, so suon 10 bsaoais agreatoiuiuiarcial entrepot in the Amsrioiu Australian traij.

The opeuing into tus ocean be tweeu two high, rugged onus, is about firs miles fro jj the oity, aul within this strait the bay wideus so as to furnish What hat been wall termed the most secure harbor on ihe Pacific, Aboui hall a mile lioui tne town au island di' vides the luuer trom the outer hirbor, and it is on this island mat the sjuth wesleru terminus of ihe great Atuhiou, 1'opeka aui Simla Fe is located. Here are the iinmenia wharves and uuiimited dockage, where the heaviest mcu oi A'ar can auuuur iu aatety.

Beyond the islaud, landward, tne water is much shallower, the average depth being but aouut nine feet, while un me seaward side there is a depth ay erasing thirty laat. l'as railroid reauhea lu terminus by a long bndga trom the eastern shore, aud will be ante to trauspart ireigai to the steamer direct. After no lie little delay at the custom house, we walked over to tbe "American hotel," aud 1 aui Iroo 10 say that it is the ODDFC9T LOOKISO EITII.PIN'a IN THE WOKI.U enjoying that universal name; a low, square, adobe building, surrounding a court or piocita. Its mud floors and small windows, and low ceilings, are striking novelties. After a lunch my trieud and 1 sauutered through the towu.

which carries the ilexicau stamp upon its face. The buildings are all of adobe, bunt one story high, aud better as a class tban those in New Mexico, Ju fact, some of them were highly ornamental. As we ueared the publio square, or plaza, we fouud a gay scene awaiting as. The native band trom the garrison were playing a medley of Spanish airs, and the plans was filled with ladies, young and old, in gay costumes, who promenaded without escorts, their natural protectors standiug outside the cirole aud bowing here aui there as they re coguijd acquaintances. 1c was a very pretty sight to au aiuericiu unuied to suoh scenes.

1 fouud, upon becoming better acquainted, that TUB INHABITANTS are divided into three classes, the "Upper Ten" being tbe Spsnish merchants whom I found re hoed and educated and with an elegaat gentility about them, too often lacking among our own aristocracy. The middle diss are the ua ti Mexican aud the lower, the Vaqui Indians, who have been largely employed in grading, the road between Heruiosilla and Gusymaa. 1 was astouished to hud what we term slavery (here called peonage) is in full vogue. If a man becomes in deot to another for 10 he is placed in absolute servitude nutil it is paid, and as wages vary from 10 to 'ib cents a day, a man who once gets behind $10 is hopelessly involved. Perhaps T.TE MOST NOTICEABLE CHARACTERISTIC of Guaymas is tbe evident aversion and hostil ity to anything which savors ot progrsssion.

In transporting cargoes from the wharf to the custom house and thence to the businesa houses, no drays or wagons are allowed to be used, because it takes away the labor of the men who "pack" everything on their backs, and in carrying water from the large well which supplies the town the same law I. iu vogue, aud a movement to bring the water into the town by pipes was instantly squelched by the sutborities. I made cousideraol. inquiry about these mountains surrounding the town, but nothing seems to have been developed iu them as lar as miningj is oonoerned. Back, further, however, from the coast there are many mines being worked which are paying splendidly and many more deserted ones where shafts were pat down from 300 to COO feet by the Spaniards years ago, but whioh now contain more or less water.

In those early years these miners were destitute of pumps and proper appliances necessary to free the shafts troiu water.and many excellent minea were destroyed by Hooding. The abandoned mines have all reverted to the government and oau bo bought lor a uouiiual sum, I aee her. A RICII FIELD for some euterpneiiiit companies, for with our modern hydraulio pumps these mines could be emptied at a comparatively small expense. When the ATiSF shall have oomplet.d its line down through this rich mineral country 1 prophesy an emigration of miners and bunnese men such as has never been known in the West for these certainly are rich and promising fields for the lusty prospeotor. The climate here in winter is(to express it in a single word) perfect, although in the town daring the summer mouths the thermometer ranges pretty high, owing to the mountains keeping out the sea breeze.

Living is compaiatively cheap and comfortable, and Irom all account everybody is as healthy here as any where. F. s. p. The Mew Church In Hereford, The new Hulls church in Herelord township will be commenced as early in tbe spring as possible.
