DESPERATE FIGHT AND IioMIcIDE-Thc
Cincinnati Enquirer learns that Michael
Burt WAS killed by Robert Gilman near
Falmouth, Ky, few days since.
The circumstances of the homicide were
these: The two men were on hunting cx-
pedition, and had camped out one or two
nights III the woods. Ok the morning of
the fatal occurrence they were playing cards
together by a fire, and, after drinking very
co. iouslyo brandy, which they had brought
with them in haSks, they quarrelcd about
the game; one declaring the other cheated.
This produced high and bitter words, and
the lie was passed repeatedly and blows
followed
Both men, excited to madness by their
passions and the liquor they had drank, ran
to their guns, standing at a little distance
behind trees twenty or thirty feet apart, and
caught them up and aimed them at each
other. Gilman fired enc barrel and missed
his adversary; Burt leaped behind a tree
aud discharged one Of his loads at Gilman,
wounding him very slightly in the right
arm, and again fired the shot passing over
his head.
Burt then fled and Gilman followed; but
the latter, more intoxicated than the former,
could not have studied himself sufficiently,
while running, to fire truly, had not Burk
struck log, and fallen over it upon the
ground, striking his head against II tree and
partially stunning him. Taking advantage
Of this circumstance, Gilman leaned against
/ d tree, and taking rest and deadly aim,
fired the remaining barrel OF his gun, at less
than twelve yards distance taking off a
portion of Burt's skull and instantaneously
causing his death. Gilman made his escape.

At the request of the President and BoaId of pi-
rectors Of the knickerbocker Life Insurance. Com
pany, certify that the mode of computing present
value Of the Policies employed by the Secretary Of
the Company is scientifically correct, and in ac-
cordance with the prescriptions of the charter.
also certify, that have compared the list of poll
eies furnished me by the President as on the books
Of the Company with valuation tables sufficiently to
test the accuracy of the results given by the secre-
tary end find the values as stated within TO be nu-
mcriclly correct That is to say, the present val
ue OF the future risk Of the office all outstantiis,
policies, or the difference between the present value
of future premiums to be paid on them is S43,q6T I9
The total value Of policies, the holders Of which
are entitled to dividends, is $50, ,221 o. 10y
And II the surplus is correctly stated at
the difference between this and the present value Of
the future risk of the Company sn existing policies
after deducng 10 per cent OF it for the relief fund
is the proper amount for dividend, to-wt 2i 6l097
The true principle OF dividend is assign to each
policy holder WHO has insured the mutual plan a
share propOrtoned to the present value of lis poll
cy which is the true value Of his inseresf as stok
holder of the Company. This share amounts TO 10
per cent Of the present value of the poll ". Fs -

PROFANE SWEARING,

Rev. E. H. Chapin, the celebrated Uuiver- salist preacher, thus alludes to profanc swear ing ill one of his discouIses on the Lords Prayer If we would use the prayer. sin cerey, we must hallow G od's name upon our lips. It will never be light word there. It
 will never drop out in jest, or ring in blasphe- my. l wish to touch this point earnestly. would speak strongly against the sin of Pro faneness. Are there any before me who are
 accustomed to use Gods name as an expletive
 and to baudy it as by-word Why employ
 it in all kinds of conversation, and throw 1t about in every place Perhaps in their hearts
 they consider this habit as an accomplishment !!
 think it manly and brave to swear Let me say, then, that performances is brutal vice. He who indulges ill it is no geutlcm;tn. care
 not what his stamp may be in society. care not what clothes he wears, or what culture he
 boasts Despite all his refinement, the light
 and habitual taking of Gods name in vain
 betrays a coarse nature and a brutal will. Nay, he tacitly admits that it is ungentlemali- ly. He restraints his oaths in the presence of ladies' and he who fears not to rush into the chancery of heaven and swear by the Majesty l there, is decently observant in the drawing room and the parlor. But, again. Profane- ness is an unmanly and silly vice. It certainly is not grace in conversation, and it adds nc strength to it There is no organic symmetry in the narrative that is ingrained with oaths ! and the blasphemy that bolsters an opinion does not make it any more correct. Our moth, er-English has variety enough to make story sparkle, and to give point to wit; it has toughness enough and yehemence enough to | furnish the SlneWs for A debate and to drive home conviction, without degrading the holy epithets of Jehovah. Nay. the use of these
 explosives argues a limited range of ideas, and
 consciousness of being on the wrong side
 And if we can find ,n0 other phrases ssss thr9pgf
 which to vent our choking passion, we hae better repress that passion. And again. Pro

THE PRINCETON GRAvEYARD.-Few visit Princeton without strolling down Witherspoon street to the precious graveyard. You enter a very humble gate, and the first object of note that meets your eye is the tomb of the devoted patriot, Richard Stockton, lying amoug the graves of his numerous kindred. Next comes the long line of time-worn and pilgrim-hacked tombs of the Presidents of the College and Fa- thers of the American Presbyterian Church. Their inscriptions are in the stately Latin which Johnson thought the only fit language for the inscriptions of the great. Crownlng this line of square tombs lies the scholar Burr, who pre- sided when the college was at Newark.
