The ARREST OF GEMS. WORTH AND Pill
Low-The following is the statement of the ar
rest OF these two officers by the Commander-in-
Chief Of the AruY' which is given by the Vera

There can scarcely be doubt of the fact itself
which this letter describes so particularly =
lamentable feeling pervades the army at
Mexico, owing to jcalousies and heart-burninas,
envy and malice, and political preiudices. Gen.
Scott has arrested Pillow and Worth. The cir
cumstances which led to this step are believed 10
be these Two letters, emanating from the
American camp, published in the United States
have been read by Gen. Scott
In an order published to the army he nrema.
turely decided who wrote them, and impeacbed
the honor, patriotism, and services Of he two
Generals eulogized in those letters One of tho
Generals (Pillow) denies, in a card pubI;sbed n
Mexico the authorship of the letter attributed

NWprth) prefers charges against Scott, and Scott
arrests him for contempt.
Heh' rluow was arrested because he appealed
from an opinion Of Scott, requesting the latter
to transmit the appeal to the Secretary of War
scott refused IN hasty manner, whereunon ,Le
former remarked, ~ will do il, sir" aTben I

LIFE Among the instance,
which are now becoming quite frequent, show.
ing the benefits arising from Life Insurance, we
notice the case of Mr. N. E. Ide, of Boston, who
effected insurance on his own life in the Mutual
Be"em Life Insurance Company, for the benefit
OF his father and mother, for the sum Of $4,000.
The insurance was effected on the 26th of MAY
last at the agency in Boston. Mr. |. died after a
short illness of obstruction in the bowels on the
18th OF July. On the 2ist of August the event
was made known to the Company, and the loss
promptly paid.
An agency of the same Company is establish
ed in this village, where all DESTROYS of availing
themselves of the benefits accruing from Life
Insurance can have an opportunity of doing so.
We notice that this Company has had unparal-
leied success thus far, having issued nearly $500
policies within the past three years, and divided
10 the insured thirty-fve per cent profits.
