MERIrED TEsrINoSIAL-The "City
Insurance Company OF Cleveland, has,
we believe. ever stood high in the erti-
nation Of the public, but it may not be
universally known, that this company
pays promptly. even during these hard
times, as soon as the damages are as
sessed. without waiting for the expira-
ton of the lime allowed the company to
adjust the same. The following COM
municaliou shows the liberality Of this
company in making early settlements of
losses.

"Under the shop lifting act" says
Sir William Meredith, address ng the
House of Commons, in 1777, "One Mary
Jones was executed. whose case l shall
just mention. 1t was about the time
when press warrants were issued on the
alarm about Falkland Islands. The
woman's husband was pressed. their
goods seized for some debt of his, and
she, with two small children. turned into
the streets a begging. IT'S a circum-
stance not to be forgotten, that she was
very young. (under nineteen,D and re-
markably handsome.
She went to a linen Diapers shop, took
some coarse linen off the counter, and
slipped it under her cloak. The shop
man saw her, and she laid it down.
For this she was hanged. Her defense
was, that she had lived in credit, and
wanted for nothing. till the press-gang
came and stole her husband from her;
but since then she had no bed to lie on
nothing TO give her children to eat, and
they acers almost naked and perhaps she
might have done something wrong, for
she scarcely knew what she did, Tile
parish officers testified 10 tie truth of this
story. Bnt it seems there had been a
good deal of shop lifting about Ludgate;
an example was thought necessary (by
the Judges and this woman was hanged
for the comfort and satisfaction of some
shop-keepers in Ludgale street. When
brought TO receive sentence, she behaved
in such a frantic manner, as proved her
mind TO be in a desponding and distrac-
ted state, and the child was sucking 1t her
breast achen she set out for Ty6urn (gal.
lows."l

lack backbone to keep him upright in the
position he has taken.
Whatever be his final course, the step
already taken must be productive of
important results. 1t is a new proof of
the way in which fnalities go down be-
fore the progress of truth and right.
II is amusing TO notice the. sommersets
Of the Democratic presses in connection
with this new stand of Douglas, and the
tumbling of our neighbor of the Demo.
Graf is most ludicrous. Two weeks ago
he said it ,ras right to refuse the Kansas
people the privilege of. voting for or
against the Bogus Constitution.
Last week latter the receipt of Doug
las speech he suddenly discovered that
the same thing was a5omina6iy Urong,
and that the Kansas people ought lot 10
endure it.
But Republicans can afford to be mag
unanimous. and to greet with satisfaction
every movement which shows that des-
potrsm and wrong cannot always tri-
umph.

Resoired That the present prohibitnry liquor law Of
TIE state does not meet the demands Of the freemen Of
vermont, and that Il is incumbent upon all citizens 10
vote for it, repeal and enoctmens relating to
sprtuous liquors. wholesome, practicable and efficient.
This resolution has considerable truth in it.
A great many people " demand more liquor,
and great many demand less--so, between
them, it is very true that the law does not
meet their demands. Now what will the
shams do about it VIII they have more
liquor, or lessf This talk about whole
some, practicable and efficient" law. may
mean the one thing or the other We sus-
pect that il only means to draw all the oppo-
nents Of the law to the shamocratic party
leaving the law to run its chance with sham
legislature. If there were any danger, we
might enlarge a little. But the rummies are
diminishing daily--by strychine. arsenic, Wit
riol, and numerous other poisons--suro to
kill at forty rods" If the temperance peo-
pie will only stick TO their principles practi-
caay, they will soon be tho only party on the
liquor question. But there is an explanation
to this rum resolution, which does not appear
in the shamocratic newspapers. A cores
pendent of the Belloos Falls Times, who at
tended the Convention, says.
"Ihe subject Of the Maine Law was brought up and
the Black Republicans we're charged with the RESPONSE
Mty Of flooding the State with bad rum. or the gem
ueman from Franklin County so neatly expressed il,
with rot guti" and the Convention seemed 10 take "a
deep interest in the doyising Of by which good
brandy might be substituted, wherein / heartily hope
they will succeed"
The shamoaatic slogan then is-' More
rum more rum and better!" just as
though ia is not an bad, and Of every degree
Of badness from alcohol to nux yomica Just
as though the laws Of trade and human ma
ture are to be reversed to crafty this banker
ing after rum. Why does not :" the gentle
man from Franklin County understand that
the demand for liquor is now altogether be-
yond the supply Of the pure article; that,
for instance, more doctored cider aud goose
berry juice, called champagne, is sold in New
York city alone, saying nothing Of the rest of
the world, than all the vineyards produce +;
and more doctored whiskey, dubbed "old
Bourbon than Bourbon county has produced
from the first date of its settlement; As to
brandy, even France has for some years been
manufacturing it out Of neutral rum, because
she cannot supply the demand and, very
probably, because she can find fools enough
to buy cheap poisoned rum at the price of old
French brandy. We doubt whether there is
gallon Of pure liquor in Vermont, unless il is
that found in Caledonia county last week by
a farmer, which happened to be a gallon Of
genuine Caledonia potato whiskey, buried by
