THE HEAT ABROAD.-Lctters from Eu-
rope and India speak of the remarkable heat
of the season. The accounts from India
reported that the intense heat of the country
appears TO have fatal effect upon the Eng
lish troops. In the 35th regiment eighty
four deaths from apoplexy were announced.
The London theaters have Feen deserted
on account of the great heat, and several
persons are reported to have died from the
same cause. The drought throughout
France is excessive. The Seine is reported
10 be nearly as low as it was in l7l9. In
England the crops are reported to be very
promising, except in districts where the
drought has affected them. In Spain the
harvest is very fine.

Hall, Saratoga Springs, last Thursday week.
\ young lawyer from New York met there
a dashing young lady from the same city, to
whom he had been paying his attentions un-
til forbidden to do 50 by her parents. Re-
gardless of hotel proprieties he fell upon his
knees before her in the parlor, and then and
there popped the question. Overcome 10y
his warmth, or the circumstances under
which she found herself placed, the young
lady consented, and together they rushed
out sprang into a carriage, and were driven
to the house of a clergyman, by whom theiI
fateS were united. There was great deal
of storming oh the part of the old people
when they found out what had been done
bnt they concluded to-submit after they haC
made up their minds that they could do nc
better. :,

WESTERN CRoPs.-The Cincinnati Price
Current, after an examination of all the ac-
counts of the staple crops in the West,
makes the following summary Of the returns:
Wheat is generally harvested; in this
State, kentucky and Indiana, the result is a
fair average. In some localities it has been
injured by rust, and generally the growth
has been too rapid, producing a great abun-
dance of straw, and consequently a shorter
head than usual, SO that the yield will not
be so good though, owing to the greater
breadth of land sown, the quantity will be
nearly up TO that OF last year, and the quail
ity far superior, owing TO the favorable
weather there has been for securing il, as
compared with last year, when large guam
tity was seriously injured by the unusual
hot weather which prevailed during the
month Of July and the greater part of Au-
gust.
In Northern Illinois aud all ssya, where
spring wheat Is gcne1;ssl !, s0wlIfand which
nainres kiter than That sown in the fall,
the injury from rust has been general and
serious, so much SO that the yield will not
be over half what it was last year, and the
quality far inferior.
The oat crop is bad failure throughout
the entire West, with but little exception
1t looked well until it had headed out, and
then was struck with rust, and soon wilted
down the stem, breaking about the center,
the heads dropped over upon each other,
giving the cat fields peculiar appearance.
In some sections the crop has escaped this
blight and is unusually good.
Barley is good crop, and secured in ex-
cellent order. Corn, the great staple crop
of the Western country, in all lands where
it was planted before the middle of June
and has been properly attended. is growing
with a rapidity bording on the miraculous;
the color is a deep green, and the promise
good but owing to the late wet spring and
overflow of bottom-lands,ta large quantity
of land intended for this crop is now lying
idle, and in many places where II had been
planted, the soil being loo wet TO be Dlowed
subsequently, it has been abandoned, and
will not come to maturity, consequently
With an ordinary mild and late fall, and
good weather during August and Septem-
ber, there will be about two-thirds of the
last years crop of this article gathered in
this State, Indiana, and Illinois. and in Ken
tucky about three-fourths of last year 5
crop; but if this amount is secured in good
order, it will far exceed the whole amount of
sound corn gathered last year in those
States, owing TO the general damage done
/ last years crops by an early and severe
/ frost and the unusually wet, damp weather
/ during the season.
/ The crop of hay is immense, and the pas
turage is excellent throughout the West.

At the request of the President and Boald of Di-

pany, certify that the mode If comparing present
value Of the Policies employed BY the Secretary Of
the Company Is scientifically correct and in ac-
oordance with the prescriptions of the charter.
also certify, that have compared the list of poll
cies furnished me 10y the President on the books
of the Company with valuation tables sufficiently to
test the accuracy Of the results given by the Secre
tary, and find the values stated within to be nu-
merically correct That is say, the present wall
ue of the future risk of the Office all outstanding
policies, or the difference between the present value
Of future premiums to be paid them S43 967 TO-
The total value of policies, the holders of which
are entitled to dividends, is s29,227 or.
And if the surplus is correctly stated at S1 3l2 a.
the difference between this and the present value Of
the future risk of the Company existing policies,
after deducting 10 per cent of il for the relief fund.-
is the proper amount for dividend to-wi S24 6l0 81
The true principle of dividend is to assign TO each
policy holder who has insured ON the mutual plai a
share propOrtioned TO the present value Of his poll
cy, which :s the value Of his interest as stock
holder of the Company. This share amounts TO 10
per cent of the present value of the policy.
