Ncvel mode of securing a Debt
We learn that Mr.. J. R. Rand Of this
town, having an old debt, with little pros
pecls ofsecuring it, and even tia, con
lingenl upon the debtors living to re-
cover his fortunes, took the precaulion
to have the debtors life insured for $500,
at the New England Life Insurance
Company, Boston; For this insurance
he paid last January, $40 90. Last
week, the company were notified OF the
debtors death, and yesterday Mr.. Rand
received the $500. By this precaution
he has secured his debr, and afforded
another evidence Of that prudent FORE
sight and sagacily which has advanced
him far on the road to wealth. -lVest>

young woman on whom il seems he had
cast q favorable eye, and whose father lived
Mt distance of several miles. The faithful
young man charged with the execution Of so
delicate and important mission. took his
way 10 Mr. Mullen's house. Having obtain

stated his object, probably without tho en-

felt, had he been acting on his own account.
The lady's reply was-"Why don't you speak
for yourself, Johu%. On his hint, it seems
he spoke and acted too, as he must be stu
