CURIOUS BEQUEST BY AN IRISH QUAKERESS.
The following is from the last will and testament of a Quaker lady, Miss Haughton, who recently died in Dublin :— I give and bequeath after my death the sum of a thousand pounds sterling to the National cause for the independence of Irelandliberty for my country to yule herself. Being a Repealer in my youth, 1 am unable to understand tlie political phases of latter days. I prefer the interest of the £1000, which I hope will be £50 per annum, to be given yearly to the highest and purest form of managing a National Government for my beloved country. I thank God for his mercies, and for permitting me the power of thus testifying to my country the approval of every effort she makes to rise to freedom." Proceedings Avill be taken to give effect to Miss Haughton's intentions.
