Burlington hawk-eye. [volume] (Burlington, Iowa) 1845-185?, 1851-11-20

The public have lately been informed of the
fixture of two Insurance Companies, heretofore
enjoying high degree OF confidence, and doing
a large amount of business. The soho Mutual
Insurance Company" at Columbus, has had loss
es in ten months amounting TO Sl07, 900, beng
more than the aggregate Of losses for four years
previous. II is estimated that from $50, 900 to
$4,000 of.the past years losses have been owing
TO incendiaries They have assessed during the
year, nearly forty per cent. on the amount of their
premium notes, an have paid out over S72 900.
The outstanding risks Of the company are sta
ted at S5,ioo,o0o, not including losses YET unpaid
The condition Of the Company may be said to he
decidedly bad.
The Lexington Insurance Company, BY its
failure has involved many citizens of that place
to avery large amount. One gentleman loses
$4,000, and several others very large amounts.
In the assignment Of the Company, these gentle
men, who recently advanced $4,000 to relieve
the Company of its embarrassments, were Sc
cured. After this sum is paid, it is thought that
the remaining assets will not be of much value.

The above table will hardly be satisfactory
Though accurate as far as the census returns are
themselves correct, yet ii would not be deemed a
safe guide 10 any one in determining the healthi-
est or sickliest portion of the State. 1t may be
true that i'll Louisa county the deaths were in the
proportion of for every fifty-six inhabitants,
yet il would be difficult to convince any one that
the deaths in That county were six times more
frequent than in Linn, which appears to be the
healthest in the State.
The two counties are nearly equal in popua-
tom Linn being rather the more populous) but
their situation is altogether different Louisa
county lies on the Mississippi at the mouth of the
Iowa, aud is intersected by the Iowa and Cedar
Rivers. Linn is county of high and rolling
land, with very little of it subject to inuudahon.
Yet we are inclined TO believe that the disparity
in the number of deaths in the two counties is
occasioned by want of accuracy in taking the
census or some other unexplained cause. The
year 1880, was year of cholera and the number
of deaths in some localities may have been in
creased frou this cause, while others entirely es-
capped the scourge.
Emigration, too, which was large last year and
the year before, may in many instances have had
a tendency to vary the exact ratio, increasing it
In some portions and diminishing it in others.
We do not think that we can lay it down as
rule, that the counties lying on the Mississippi
other large water courses have been the most un.
healthy. From the above returns we find that
Clayton, Scott and Des Moines lying on the Mis-
sissippi, aud Van Buren,, Mahaska and Wapello
lying on the Des Moines--and Pottawatam,e ~
ing on the Missouri, are among the healthiest in
the State. So, also, several counties lying Ola no
large stream, are among the most unhealthy.
We think it will be found that the State, taken
as a whole, has enjoyed favorable degree of
health, and the deaths have not been in greater
proportion than ill the older settled States. We
have not, however, the means at hand of making
a comparison.

The battle in which General s. Clair was de-
feated by the Indians and his army consisting Of
twenty two hundred men thrown in the widest
confusion, was fought in 1871. In 1902, Gen.
Harrison, il is supposed buried the dead. But no
trace of their burial place was found until few
months ago where the remains were discovered
BY the merest accident. They were taken up
and preserved with almost religious veneration
until few weeks ago when the people were
summoned to attend the funeral rites of those
bones upon the very ground which sixty years
before had drank their blood.
The funeral obsequies Of the mortal remains
Of General Arthur ST Glars army took place at
Fort Recovery, Mercer county, Ohio, On the 10th
of September last upon which occasion near ten
thousand people assembled to listen to an Grafton
from the Hon Bellamy Storer OF Cincinnati,
and to pay the last tribute of respect to the re-
mains Of the gallant dead. The scene was depy
interesting, and the exercises solemn and IMPRESS
i've. The Grafton of Mr. Storer is spoken of in
high terms as an able and eloquent effort.

Improvement Of the Illinois River.

II is proposed to hold Convention at Peoria
on the 2Sth November, to adopt such measures
as shall be most likely to secure the aid of the
government of the United States in improving
the vigat.on of the Illinois river. The propo-
sed convention we believe was first suggested by
some of the papers at Chicago, and seems to
meet the appreciation of the towns on the river
The citizens of Peru have had a meeting and ap-
pointed twenty one delegates.
On the subject of the contemplated improve
ment the Peoria Press says:
cat this season of the year the interests of our
river towns are greatly impaired by the obstruc-
tons, IN the shape of sand bars, which are found
eveiy few miles up and down the river. This diff
hcul,y is now felt by our business men, and all
others along the river engaged in shipping or re-
cesing freight Aside from our own immediate
interests, the Illinois river is most important
link in the great thoroughfare from the west to
the east, and its commerce and travel are worthy
OF any precautionary measures that may be adopt
cd. As the business men at the different points
from Chicago to ST Louis, are alike interested m
the subject, we have no doubt this appeal will be
generally responded to. and measures taken to in
sure the speedy assemhlase of convention of
