Ys your Life insured

We wish to call the attention of our friends to
the necessity and Importance of LIFE INSURANCE.
We have paid considerable attention to this sub
jecl for the past two years, with the view of as
certaining upon what basis the business can be
conducted with safety to the insured, and profit
sufficient to the managers to pay for the ransac-
ton ofthe business and consequent expenses; so
as to insure pernaanency TO the institution; with
out which there is no safety to members. From
the best lights in our possession and from the
best means we have had for investigating tt is
subject, we have arrived at the conclusion that
the only safe plan for all concerned; is the basis
of Mutual benefits and profits, as well as risks.
The business of Life Insurance should also be
distinct from any other business. There is no
reason why the business of Life Insurance
should be mixed up with the business of Fire and
Marine Insurance. The average expectation OF
life can be fixed upon mathematical basis
while the effects of Fire and Storm can be nc
more calculated than the changing of the wind
Of the duty of the head of the family to Sc
cure for his widow and children competency in
case of his death, we do not propose now &c
speak. Whatever may be the obligations rest
ing on men who are ''hees over head in bust
ness to secure little remnant for the support
ofther wives and babes amid the general scram-
Bile of creditors, administrators, and Judges OIL
Probate, we shall only for the present suggest
, that time be taken to reflect upon this important
subject. Hereafter we shall say a few words a,
bout it.
| We wish now simply to say that by looking
into another column you will see a notice of the
"Unon Mutual Life Insurance Company" es
tabshed at Boston. That Company we car
recommend as possessing all the requisites which
| farmers, mechanics and business T. en- can de-
mand, both in the character and ability of the
men who manage the Institution--and the basi.
upon which the principles of Life Insurance is
conducted-and further information in regard t.
its terms and business can be obtained on app
| cation at this office.

laid Immediately through Canada, from Sandwich
opposite Detroit, to Niagara Falls. The route
has been graded for years and occupied by plank
and Adam road. When finished it will be the
shortest and quickest route between Detroit and
Buffalo. On the completion Of this road passen-
gers will have two routes between the east ard
west, by railroad One by the Michigan south
ern road to Toledo and from thence through
Cleveland and Erie, to connect with the N. Y.
and Erie road; and another by the Michigan
Central road, the Canada road, and the Buffalo
and Albany road Probably, in three or four
years time these roads will all be completed, and
then farewell steamboat travelling, for as is aptly
said by an exchange before us, the mpetuous
American character will be content with nothing
but the fastest mode of travelling"

U The Milwaukee Commercial Advertiser
copies with approbatory remarks the following
comments ofthe New York Journal of Commerce
OH the recent Indiana election:
"Here is a distinct endorsement OF The
course of Mr.. Bright in the U. S. Senate,
as his term Of service expires on the 4th of
July next. and it devolves upon this Legis
lature to designate his successor. They
will ofcourse re-elect him, by an overwhel-
ming majority. Mr.. Bright, our own Sem
ator Dickinson, and Mr. Cass are among
the few Northern men who have borne The
standard Of the Union and Ant-Humbug,
amidst adverse influences which would
have shaken the constancy OF most other
men,"
Thus the free soil movement is denounced as
"Humbug" and g Disunon," and yet the same
paper is anxious to have free soil men unite
with itself and those of its kind, in nominating
candidate from Congress. We should like to
know whether it expects to cheat or be cheated
in such an union, for one of the two is inevitable.
Can't free soil men see the trap into which it is

its brains badly in trying to understand the
! Tribune's course with regard to the Texas
Boundary. Here is its puzzle:
"This paying Texas handsome sum to
give quit claim to what she has NO claim
ispreposterous enough. Should we happen
in New York. we may take occasion to lay
claim to The Tribune Office. and threaten
brother Greedy with a lawsuit. We shall
expect him TO pony up handsomely for a
quit claim to what we have NO claim
Why, Sir, that world depend very
much on the character OF tie Court which
shall have jurisdiction in the case. If we
knew that majority of the Judges were
Loco Focos, and pledged to decide in you,
favor, by long course Of political lying on
questions involving the validity of your
claim, we should be disposed to give someS
thing handsome to buy you off rather than
stand trial. Now what is there $ incom-
prehensible' in this?- N. Y. Tribune.
We suspect wiser brains than ours have twis.
ted themselves in the same endeavor, and with
as little success. The explanation above given
however satisfactory as to the motive of the Tr
bune, it strikes u.s. will hardly prove SO as to the
wisdom of its position. The claim of Texas, il
says, has not shadow of foundation, but mas
much as there is reason to apprehend an unjust
decision in the case from the supreme court, Con
gress had better pay Texas all she asks, and gel
a quit claim. Now, we put it to the good sense
of the Tribune, whether, under the circumstan-
ces, it would not be cheaper and better to have
the government straightway dissolved and recon.
struc!ed in manner that would TO some extent
protect the people in their rights, and whether
it would not be more wisely and proftab bly, en-
ployed in seeking that end, than in urging what
it does in this matter. The assumption is, that
the government is mere machine to plumber
the people, and the recommendation is, that the
people had better quietly submit to be plundercd
We say, Congress has no right to do a foul and
acknowledged wrong, on suspicion that if she
don't some other department of government may
do even greater. Let the responsibility rest
where it belongs. To do otherwise, would pre-
vent the people from perceiving the true source
of the wrong and applying the remedy, as also
ofnecessity involve every department of govern.
nent, eventually, in crime, to the total destruc.
ton of our institutions and probably the ruin Of

The family Of Mr. Clute, living in rhe town
of CASTLE, Wyoming county, was poisoned some
two weeks since from eating mushrooms. They
were gathered late in the afternoon, and after be-
ing cooked in the usual way, Mrs, Clute and
five of the children eat moderate quantities for
supper. About three O'Clock at night, one of
the children commenced vomiting, and within
four hours all who had eaten were attacked with
vomiting, which was speedily followed with
purging
Medical assistance soon after was procured,
but three children died from the effects, one in
two days, another in three days, and the third in
seven days after partaking Of the mushroom
The rest of the family were in critical position
for several days, but have finally recovered.
