gainst fire. TO that part ofthe community who
have never witnessed the result of the mutual in

wherever It has been adopted, it has invariably
succeeded beyond the sanguine antcipatons of
Its friends When il is considered that the in
stltutlon is, in effect but voluntary association
OF individuals, pledged to bear each others losses
in just and equitable proportions-that no COM
binaton of wealth or money-making scheme can
possibly influence its operations or divert it from
its legitimate and proper course, prudent and
common foresight will prompt to an immediate
connection with it.
That facilities for becoming members of tho
association may be within the reach ofevery per-
son, agents are or will be. appointed in all tho
principal towns and villages in the state, to
whom application may be made whenever in
surance is required. A prompt and ready atten
ton to duty, on the part of agents, will uniform
ly be expected, as upon this alone depends in a
great degree the prosperity and success of the
company. They are also desired to spread sue
useful and correct information relative TO the
nature, prospects and operations of the institu.
ton as will promote its interests and give the
public mind full and correct understanding on
the subject.

OF irresponsible persons to act as agents in tow ms

crock ISLAND CITY,"


This is the name of a new town, now
being surveyed into lots, on and below the
Rapids, at the mouth of Rock River, Rock
Island county, in this state. There are
many peculiar and interesting facts connect
ed with this town site, other than its great
commercial, agricultural, and manufacturing
facilities. 1t is situated on point of land
between Rock River and the Mississippi,
to the rapids. 1t is on this site that Black
Hawk and his fathers lived for more than a
hundred years. 1t is here, where the bones
of hundreds of chiefs, and thousands of
warriors of the Sac Nation, sleep in the dust
and whiten the ground. This ground, for
more than century, supplied this Nation of
Braves and their families, with corn, and
their horses and cattle with pasture; and
this was the Indian village, so dear and in
valuable to Black Hawk and his people, thai.
he and they recently preferred hazarding
the certain calamities of war with the Uni
ted States, rather than yield it up to the pos
session of the whites. Indeed this is the
very place to obtain possession of which,
cost the American people one million and
al Hall Vi uOiidiS ttiiu SiAt -ioui h'Oos 1HO'N
are few of the interesting facts connected
with Rock Island City,"
1t is also situated in the centre of the most
healthy and fertile section of the West
commanding an almost illimitable extent of
inland commerce up Rock river and down
the Mississippi, and the great advantage of
q water power inexhaustible, and easily
available. Coal is here obtained in great
abundance, which will not only cheaper and
facilitate manufacturing, but will become a
leading article of commerce, in a country
like this, where timber is scarce.
The purchase Of about 600 acres was
recently made by Levi c. Turner, Esq. OF
Otsego county, New York, and others, Of
George Davenport, Esq, of Rock Island.
Mr.. Davenport, however, still retains an IN
interest; and we are happy to learn has re-
served public square, in the centre of which
is to be entombed the scattered bones of the
Sac chiefs and warriors, and suitable
monument to their memory, erected at his
own expense. In this age of city making
and speculation, we know Of no place more
peculiar and interesting in its history, OF
commanding and desirable in its location.

TAzEwELL, (Ten.) Sept. 81, 1886.
SIR A murder was committed in
Claiborne county, near this place, on
the road leading to kentucky, last
week, in self defence, under the follow
ing circumstances VIM. Hurst shot
Thomas J. Berry, who expired a short
time after. The parties were brothers
Iin>law /; bad feelings had existed be-
tween them the deceased had occu-
pied the house where Hurst nov lives,
had removed TO the Crab Orchard in
Kentucky, with his family, q returned
to this neighborhood a few days since
with a view to have satisfaction. On
the day Of the fntaldeed, Berry, Whose
father lives in this neighborhood, bor-
rowed a gun of n of his brothers,
walked pas. Hursi's house several
times, and stopped out ofsight. Hurst's
eldest son discovered him, and halloed
TO his father that Berry intended mis-
chief. Berry then came in sight, and
walked towards Hurst and his wife.
both then standing in the road. On
nearing, Berry leyelled his rifle. Hurst
got behind his wife, using her US a
shield, Berry still lodging to get an aim
or sight to shoot Hurst. In the moan
time, Hurst sent his son to borrow a
rifle. This Indian struggle lasted ff-
teen OF twenty minutes, the contending
parties being some three feet apart
Berry, finding that he could not get a
shot at Hurst, without probably hitting
his wife, which he did not want to do,
took the rifle in one hand, and drew his
butcher-k knife with the other. In the
act Of doing so, Hurst's son handed his
father o loaded rifle, who instantly shot
Berry through the body MORALLY
Berry also fired, but missed, the ball
grazing the side of Mrs. Hurst's head.
The two rifles cracked within q second
ofeach other, Hurst firing first. After
being struck Berry made an effort to
reload, in a few minutes took off his
shot pouch, laid his rifle against the
fence, and fell and expired. After fall
ling, water was handed to him !; he
spoke a few words,-that he had come
to kill Hurst, but Hurst had killed him.
Hurst asked his forgiveness, and Ber-
ry gave him his hand in token, and, in
doing so, expired. Hurst gave himself
up, was tried by a called court the next
day, and acquitted. Berry has left g
widow and small family in kentucky.
