LIFE INSURANCE.

We learn that Sylvester Brown, Esq. of Washing.
ton, in this State, had slave insured in the Norl
Carolina Mutual Insurance Company to the amour,
of 44O0, and the slave DYING upon presentation Of
the proper proof of the fact to the Board the amour,
(&40O) was promptly sent to Mr.. Brown by return
mail. This slave was insured in July last, and the
amount of premium paid bv Mr.. Brown was but sc
sc. We mention this to show the advantages held
out to the public by this Company.
This Company has issued more than $50 policies
since its organisation in April last, and this is the
first loss Of any kind which it has sustained.
The best evidence Of the sound principles upon
which this Company is based, well as the excel
lent in which its affairs are conducted, is to
be found in the remarkable success which has attend
ed its operations. 1t is, be it remembered, North
Carolina Company and as such, all other things
being equal, have hesitation in saying it ought
to be preferred to any other. Indeed, we hope the
next Legislature will lay tax with a view to
nue. upon the Foreign Companies, both Life and Fire.
We would not. BY any means, prohibit them from
operating in the State but we would have them pay
something, at least for the privilege they enjoy Of
absorbing annually, for the benefit of Northern capi.
talists. thousands of our money.

FATHER MILLER DEAD. MI. William Miller, IA
miiarly known as " Father Miller" and as IS Miller
the Prophet" died at his home in Hampton, WASH
ington County, the Goth inst aged about 68. Mr..
Miller was native Of Pitts6eld, Mass. and during
the last war with England served as Captain Of
Volunteers on the northern frontier. He was a
shrewd but nanow-minded man, practical in affairs,
though of an ardent and fanatical temperament. He
began to speak in public assemblies upon the subject
of the Millennium in 1888, and in the ten years which
preceded the tins which he had set for the consum.
nation of all prophecy, he abored assiduousy in the
Middle and Northern States, averaging, it is said,
nearly one sermon day for more than half that Pc
riod. He was uneducated, and not largely read in
even the common English commentaries; his views
were absurd. and supported bot sebly; yet he sue
ceeded in building up sect Of some 80 OF 10000
disciples, which disappeared rapidly after the close
Of the " day Of probation - in l643 after which time
Mr.. Miller himself did not often advocate OF defend
