The most chJdisb. anil therefore the beat thing, in sWWickobu for December is “The Dead Doll,” by Margaret Vandi grift, who seems to enter into children's feelings more thoroughly than most wri ters of verse.

A Title of it Mlil Wllh it Mountain I,lor, Tiie Cheyenne Neirn has an interesting t aeoount of how Nat’inn Williama, near Fort Laramie, got away from n mountain k - lion; ami the story is one like Captain Alayno lteid used to write up and embel lish with pictures until the youthful im agination was fired to that extent that every rustling leaf was distorted into the shriek of a panther or the tuneful voice of the buffalo. Mr. Williams resides on a ranch near tho fort, and recently, while in the mountains nfter fire wood, sat down on a clump of bushes to adjust bis overshoes. Hearing the bushes crackle behind, he looked aronn 1 to see who wus disturbing his meditations, and was somewhat surprised, if not startled, to look into the eyes of u mountain lion. Mr. Williams was quite vexed that the lion should intrude upon him in this unceremonious manner, and therefore slapped him across the face with his over.shoes, whereupon the lion ran away aud Mr. Williams didn’t follow him. Mr. Williams lives in a house with ono room, tho only occupant besides himself being a hired German. That night he was suddenly uwakoued hy the lion jumping in through tho window, deliberately walking across the room, and very composedly laying himself down by the lireplace. Mr. Williams doesn’t keep a hotel, therefore wished that his guest hud less cheek, und bad remained out of tho house until invited in. The broken sasli and window was another matter which preyed upon liis mind, and it was a matter of doubt bow, if ever, he got his pay for that. lie lay in his cot for a long time, cogitating in his rniud how to manage, ills rillo was within reach, und once he became so an .mmx ■ tfOwiMrSHE - what'a jsw'advuiMlß|v ,T' be taking of tlie lion who the hospitali ties of tho house, even though unbidden. Hesidox, ho was afraid that he would only wound the animal, when the latter might take tlifl little joke as an insult and inflict punishment. Therefore ho decided not to shoot, but remained quiet, not forget ting, however, to keep his rifle in his hands and ready cocked. It was a bright moonlight night, and no curtain, not even glass, intervened to render the cubiu dark nud dim. The big logs in . the lire-placo cast a comfortable glow Lover the room, and ns the lion was ■fetched out at full length enjoying the ■the picture was a In autiful one, ■ i Mr Williams did not enjoy it. German was snoring the bass notes of a trombone, entirely indifferent aud oblivious to these matters of interest. The night seemed to boa long one. It appeared to the owner of tho cabin us though some modern Joshua had been along and stopped the moou. He grew fired of wnitiug, though singular as it may appear, he did not grow sleepy. It was his usual custom to get up first in tho morning; but upon MR-.s occasion ho concluded to let tho German do the morning ohoros, thinkiug I also that the guest might desire to re r mam aud breakfast with them, in which case he wus willing that his hired man should do tho honors of the able. The lion scarcely changed his position, and his purring sounded to Mr. Williams like sthuuder. Daylight at length began to flight up the couutry, aud Hans crawled Pbut of his bed, gathered his pauts in his yjauds and started for the fire-place, to Bmhs by its warmth. Just ns lie raised bis right leg to thrust it down into his pants, his gaze rested upon the lion. For about half a minute he didn’t say anything, but his eyes bulged out like a sea crab’s. He then gave a shriek which was enough to awukeu the dead, and nearly lifted the roof from the cabin. It lifted the lion, who, with n howl of fright sprang out of the window, Mr. Williams giving him a parting salute as he went out. The state of their appetites aud the high price of food rendered it neeessary that they should economize, therefore they ate a light breakfast. The repast ended, they went out to look for their night’s guest. The snow on the ground wss marked with blood, aud they hail no diftioulty in tracing him. In n short time he was overtaken, whereupon I \aoh opened fire, aud the lion “shed out his li(c sweetly tnere.” He was a monster iu size, weighing six hundred aud seven teen pounds." The Stir Ai.ainst James Watson Webb. —When James Watson Webb was Minister to itruzil he received f 14,000 from the Brazilian Government on ac count of a elaitu which tho United States bad against it for the illegal condemna tion of a ship. Mr. Wtbb turned over to the Treasury only £9.000, and ex plained that he had paid the rest. £5,000, to certain influential Brazilians in ordtr to secure the collection of the claim. This goyeruuient brought suit iu the Uuited States District Court to recover from Mr. Webb the £*>,ooo. United States District Attorney Bliss tiled inter rogatories for Mr. Webb to answer, aud among them was thj following ; “What are the names of the influential Brazilians to whom, as you say, you paid the £5,000 r Mr. Webb neglected to an swer this question, and Mr. Bliss applied to Judge Biatchford for au order requir ing him to answer it, or show cause why he should not be committed for contempt of court. Judge Biatchford grauted this, and yesterday the time for complying with it was fixed for December 14. Iu the event of a refusal to answer, Mr. Webb is to show cause on December 13 why he should not be committed for con tempt. — N. ) r .

A 810 BONANZA. tiik kiii.ton will case kkuivihr The Petition of Hubert Holton Kited Action to be Commenced—Abstract of Grant* and Deeds of Heal Estate. During tbo past summer stme sensation was created throughout the community by tbo announcement that the heirs of Robert Bolton, of this city, who died in 1802. were about to commence suit for the recovery of a vast amount of property in and around -Savannah. Home points in reference to tbo matter were published, but they were not of a very definite and satisfactory character, and after being the talk of the town fora few days the subject was forgotten, and but little allusion has been made to it since. The parties interested, however, have not been idle, and the indications point to a vtg orous prosecution of the case. As it is a matter in which a large number of onr citi zens are very deeply interested pecuniarily, and as the history is peculiar and interest ing to all, wo propose to furnish onr read ers witli all the information obtainable. Rev. Mr. Robert Bolton, grandson of the testator, arrived in the city on Friday even ing, acc .nipaukd by his* lawyer, William Hastings, Esq., and is now engaged in searching the records in the Ordinary's office. We learn from Mr. Hastings that lto>ert Coates Bolton, son of Curtis I'.oitoo, and one of the defendants, applied to the Surrogate of New York city on the 17th instant for letters of administration on the unadministered ( state, aud that his applica tion will he resisted bv the petitioner. Rev. Mr. Robert Bolton, 'ibis gentleman is the Hector of the Episc >pal Church, Westches ter county, New York, and is a very deter mined, at the same time benevolent, look ing gentlemen. The first move to check mate Mr. Robert Coates Rolton is to present to the Surrogate of New York a certificate from the Court of Ordinary of this county, to the effect that letters of administration have been ap plied for here. This was done Monday morning through the following petition, and the certificate was duly granted. The petition will give the re >der an understand ing of tbe-rnain points in the case ; we pub lish it in full. PETITION. In the Court of Ordinary in and for the county of Chatham, State of Georgia.

I strictly forbid a public sale oY any of my negroes, either for the purpose of division or for any other cause. If they must be Bold, they shall chose their own masters. 1 desire that titles be given to the heirs of Henry Addington for a forty-five acre lot at Hampstead, which I sold said Addington in his li/etime ; should I have more chil dren, either male or females, after the date of this will, 1 desire that they, or each of them, should have teu thousand dollars out of the residue of my estate, either in real or personal property not before bequeathed, which is to be allotted to them or either by my executors ; but if the residue is insuffi cient, then the difference shall be made up out of the other children’s property, in pro portion to their respective estates. All the residue of my real and personal property I may die possessed of, I wish held in a general stock ; that is to say, let the real property be rented out, and the rents vested in six or eight per ceut. stock of the United States of other good security upon bond and mortgage of real property, and the personal property remain as a stock in trade, conducted under the same firm as now exists, say Robert and John Bolton ; and under the superintendence and direc tion of my co-partner, John Bolton, he drawing of the profits, until his bro ther Curtis Bolton arrives at the age of twenty-one yoars, when it is my wish and desire that he be taken iu as a co-partner, and entitled as such to draw ot the profits ; and it is my desire, that when my son Robert attains the age of twenty-one years, he also be admitted as a partner, and entitled as such to draw of the prof its, and that my son Robert be immediately after my decease taken into the store aud counting-room of Robert and John Bolton, aud be brought up and instructed iu the business of a mer chant; but it is my desiro and express di rection that neither my cousin, Curtia Bol toD, nor my son, Robert, be admitted into the copartnership unless tb.eir conduct until they arrive age should, from their pru dence aud discretion, entitle them to such confidence, the propriety of which measure I leave to be judged of by my executors, and that the business be conducted by my pres ent partner, under the present firm and names, whether they or either of them be admitted iuto the partnership or not, until my youngest child attains the ago of twenty one years, then the whole of my surplus estate not before bequeathed to be divided in the most equitable manner (without any public sale), at the discretion of my execu tors, amongst all my children which may bo alive at that time, or the heirs of their body, per stirpes and not rer capita. 1 should wish that my sou James be edu cated at the northward or in this State, so as to qualify him for the study of divinity or .physic (not law), but if his mother should not consent to his going away, my executors are requested to decline it—he must be consulted at a proper age as to the business he may wish to follow. I desire that my funeral be plain—there must not be allowed anything superfluous among those who attend—my friends will not desire it. I give to my son Robert my gold watch, that he may know how time passes, and, to teach him how to improve it, also my largest Bible, which he must have bound iu six volumes. I give to my son James my silver-mounted small sword, never to be unsheathed but iu a virtuous cause, also my Bible iu two vol umes. To whichever of my sons that may be most inclined to much company aud diinkiDg, I give my portrait, strictly enjoining the un fortunate youth to give it the most conspicu ous place in his dining-room, that when he views it he may recollect that it represents a father who never was intoxicated aud whose detestation of that vice should re strain his sons from the practice of it, but if neither of my sons require this injunction (which may God grant), let my portrait re main with that of my wife nd sister in the possession of my daughters, who, I doubt not, will respect the charge. As I have directed that my share, say two-thirds of the stock in trade With John Bolton, also the balance that may be due mo in private acoount with the concern of Bobert and John Bolton, should remain un der the direction of the said John Bolton, as before mentioned, I therefore direct that my executors claim from him only an ac count of my private account with the con cern, unless John Bolton die, then they are to have the whole property under their di rection, and to comply with the requisites contained in this will. Having bequeathed to my son James the two-thirds of the Yamacraw wharf, I desire that the same may continue an undivided property in conjunction with my cousin, John Bolton, who owns the other third, and that if my son James should wish to dispose of his part, the whole shall be valued by three respectable and disinterested freehol ders, and my cousin, John Bolton, shall nave a p eference at the valuation. There is real property belonging to the concern of R. and J. Bolton not before de vised, which I desire may be allotted to my children, given each as near as the case will admit, at the discretion of my executors, share and share alike, as they arrive at the age to be entitled to it, but’ as this is an undivided property and can not be sold in separate parcels, let those who wish to sell dispose of his, or her, or their part to those who own the other part, or draw lots with my.cousin John Bolton,who owns one-third, and my heirs owning two-thirds; but it is my express desire that none of mv said real property be sold out of my family connec tion. I have bequeathed to somo o; my childron several of the negroes belonging to Robert and John Bolton, of which I own two-thirds. Now I desire that if, my cousin John Bol ton should wish to hold any of those ne groes, that my executors should draw lots for the same, and havo the negroes valued, aud if John Bolton draws them, he will pay two-thirds the value with interest to the child they were intended for, or if they are drawn by my heirs, then they shall pay him his one-third of their value. My reason for giving all mv household furniture to my daughter Sally at the death of her mother, (unless she wills it other wise,) is, that there is but one complete set for a house she is to occupy, and it would excite an unnecessary confusion to divide if. I have no partiality for any one of my chil dren in particular.’ It is also my wish and desire that in case my son James, at his attaining the age of twenty-one years, should feel a disposition to become a partner in the house, that he may be admitted and entitled to the same profits as my son Robert, and on the same conditions; being at present unable to de termine what proportion of protits arising from the co-partnership shall be drawn by each or either of the co-partners, I have left the same blank, and in case the same should not be filled up before my deatb, I leave the same to be ascertained and fixed by my ex ecutors hereafter named. Being desirous of having as large a steck in trade as possible, I hereby direct that the rents, issues and profits of the real property bequeathed to my children, shall go into the general stock in’ trade until each of said children arrive at the age at which they shall be entitled to receive their several portions hereby devised and bequeathed to them aud each of them, and whereas j have provided for the education and main tenance of my ohildren during the life of my wife; in case of my death before her, I hereby empower their guardian to draw upon my estate from time to time such sum or sums of money as may be judged neces sary for their support and education until they severally attain the ages necessary to entitle them to their property, provided my wife should die previously thereto. Should it so happen that any of my chil dren shonld die without heirs of their body, in which event the real property hereby be queathed to them and directed .to go to their surviving brothers or sisters, it is further directed that in case of either of the said survivors dying without issue, the property of the brother or stster so dying without issue, shall descend to and be vested in my surviving children and their heirs, share and share alike as tenants in common and not as joint tenants. It is my will and desire that the legacies to my daughters shall be paid out of the personal estate not herein and hereby oth erwise disposed of, but should it so happen, by misfortunes in trade or otherwise, that this fund should prove inadequate to the payment, then it is my desire that the same shoo'd become a charge on my estate, both real and personal. The legacies left to my friends and rela tions, (the time for payment of my chil drens' legacies being fixed), shall ho paid within twelve tnooths after my decease wiihont interest, unless my executors should prefer paying them sooner. The plantation and improvements in the county of |Burkf, which, iu the preceding part of this will, I bequeathed to my wife during life, and then to my sou James ou certain conditions, I hereby direct to be sold by my executors to the best advantage at private sale, or otherwise, if judged necessary. Should" it so happen that my present part ner. John Bolton, dies before my youngest child attains the age of twenty-one, aud af ter'the admission of Curtis Bolton or either of my sons into the co-partnership, I am willing that the business should be carried on as before directed, provided tha' my executors are of opinion that the surviving partner or partners can conduct it to ad vantage, auy preceding clause to the con trary notwithstanding. In witness whereof I have, this nineteenth day of November, in the year oi onr Lord eighteen hnndred and twoj to this my last will aud testament, contained in twenty-one pages of paper, set my hand and seal in manner following; that is to say, to the first ten sheets and to each page thereof I have set my hand, subscribing the same with my name, and to the last thereof I have signed and subscribed my name and set my seal.

St. Louis, December I.—The Hepublican 7 s Kansas City special says that advices from Denver report that troops have been or dered from Forts Lincoln and Union to the vicinitv of Cameron, New Mexico, where the Apaches had revolted some ten days since.
