A curious will.--John A. Tainter, who died in Hartford, Ct., left all his property, about one million dollars, to his wife and two daughters. In his will he forbids either of his daughters to marry a foreigner, or a native of a Southern or slaveholding State, under penalty of forfeiting her interest in the property.--New-York Tribune, January 8.
