Is my Insurance Policy good
for anything ?"

Mn. EDIToR An article of the above
title, by some oversight, i. is presum-
cd crcpt into your paper Of the 3Oth
ult.
The improperly Of newspaper discus.
sions in respect of merely private mat
ters in course of Judicial determination,
and the attempt to forostall the action
Of courts aud juries whose exclusive
province it is to decide such questions,
must be admitted by all intelligent and
lieht-thinking mer.
However competent your correspond
ent may be to instruct the members of
the Bar in the line Of their duty, two
DAYS Of critical attention have been mad
eanato TO give an accurate idea of the
defence in tho case to which he alludes
The facts in the defence Of that case arc
simply these.
The defendants insisted that they had
never insured the plaintiffs goods at all.
That the policy which he held, was cf-
fected on the partnership goods of GER
tain firm, and that all parties so under
stood it at the time the insurance was
effected. The application and policy
afforded evidence that this was correct,
and the liability of the company turned
upon the legal construction of the poll
cy. No part of the partnership proper
ty was burnt
In this state of the case, the Directors
of tho Company felt it to be duty
which they owed to TIE association to
submit this question of construction to
the constituted tribunals of the state, as
in doubtful case involving several thou
sands of dollars, it was entirely proper
for them to do
In the course of the trial other points
arose. but this was the main hinge OF the
controversy. The cause is still pending,
and should the courts finally hold that
the construction which the defendants
honestly contend for is incorrect, they
will chesrfully acquiesce in the decision
That the company has the same right
with other persons to call upon the
courts for aid in the discharge Of their
duties. will probably be conceded by all
not interested in different opinion.
If the conduct of the Directors does
not meet the appreciation of the loungers
about the court house, it is certainly a
great misfortune but alarming as this
consideration is, it is doubtful whether
it is of sufficient magnitude to detor
them from tha ordinary and only course
provided by law for cases of disagree.
ment in respect to the construction OF
contracts.
Whether they are right or wrong is
question for the courts. and not for news
paper correspondents to determine; and
on a cursory view of the subject i would
seem tolerably we'll bred to give the
courts the first chance at the decision. I"

$4,000 to make to one Of 5000 An
other view has been taking by at least
one taxpayer, that is " that the five per
cent was not a sufficient inducemont to
pay his tax in SO short time. lie would
not pay to the treasurer because he could
do better with his money, it was worth
more than six per cent. to him. and lie
could get along with the collector and not
pay him until the end of the year" How
far this principle prevails, or to what ex-
tent, is unknown to the writer, but for
the honor Of humanity he would hope
not far, and certainly | have too much
confidence in the present collector of our
town, and too good an.opinion Of him, to
believe that he would knowingly be
trucklqd with by any man who owed tax
cs payable to him.
The additional amendment, is that the
tax assessed for the support Of schools
shall be put into the hands of the treas
uror as other town taxes are Two rate
bills of this class have been made and
forthwith put into the hands of the col
lector, since the resolution was adopted
requiring them first to be lodged with
the treasurer for thirty days. from which
infer that the Selcctmen of the town
have regarded them as something other
than town taxes. The tax to be as
sossed by the Selectmen for the support
of schools has been regarded by some
men as state tax, ground, l think,
that is not tenable, but which for my
present purpose, / have nothing to do
with, inasmuch as the statute that re-
quires the tax to be assessed, requires
that it shall be collected in the same
manner that other town taxes are col
lected The Selectmen have probably
overlooked this statute, and regarding
it state tax have given their rate bills
for this tax directly to the collector.
With these remarks, broken rs they
are, | submit the question ofamandment
or modification to the candid and impair.
tial consideration of the legal voters of
the town. A TAXPAYER.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT IN SHrrws-
BuRY-An esteemed friend informs US of
a shocking occurrence that happened in
Shrewsbury, on Wednesday of last week
On that day Lyman II. Lincoln.
Henry II. Lincoln aud f r Green
started out on fox hunt When about
two miles outthey got together in agroup
listening for the barking of the hound,
Mr. Green standing his gun up in the
snow. 1t was about to fall into the snow
when Lyman II. Lincoln attempted to
prevent it, in doing which he either hit
his own gun with his foot, or it was struck
by tho other, causing it to discharge and
lodge the whole charge Of shot in the
right side of his face, and carrying off
part of his ear. II was shockiugly mu-
tilated and died the day following, sur
viving but 81 hours after the accident.
The deceased was very honest and
worthy young man, about 10 years Of
age -BeH0lcS Falls Argus.
