Joseph RICHARDSON, belonging to Ramsey, Isle of Man, but who lived at Bridgewater, N.S. upwards of 12 years, lately received news that 5,000 pounds had been left him by some near relation. Joseph has worked as a stevedore. He was at one time a soldier in the British army, but deserted. The jubilee year, however, brought him his pardon.
