A lie markaD1c case Oh Lie AnSurnncc'
A man by the name of Holden, at Ann
Arbor, Michigan, had his life insured for
$4,000, in three different Eastern compa-
MES. Ten months after effecting these risks,
he was found one night on vacant lot,
MORALLY wounded by pistol shot, Of which
he died two days afterwards, resolutely re-
fusing to give any explanation of the affair.
The insurance companies refused to pay the
policies on the ground that Holden's death
was procured by fraud for the purpose of
obtaining the large amount of money de-
pendent upon hislife. They maintained that
he not only was not able to procure so large
an amount of insurance consistently with
his pecuniary matters, but that he was
obliged to borrow the money with which TO
pay the premiums, and that he was engaged
in no business afterwards up to the time of
his death. Their theory seems to be, not
that he came to his death by his own hand,
as has been supposed, but that he was killed
by persons interested in the insurance mon
ey. Whether they will be able to prove as
much remains to be seen. The prosecution
deny every such charge, and challenge a
close scrutiny into the whole matter. The
case is pending in the United States Circuit
Court for Michigan, and the result is looked
| for with a great deal of interest.

Old and New State Banks.

Meetings of the Board of Directors of these
banks were recently held at indianapolis
The Directors of the old Board ordered de-
posts of New York Exchange at the In
dianapolis Branch, to be used at par in the
redemption of the notes of all the old
Branches, as presented, until the 3lst of De-
cember next. Committees were appointed
to report at the November session as to the
final measure to be taken to close up the
Branches.
Most of the Branches will be entirely
settled up, except outstanding circulation,
before the close of the year. Among these
is the Branch in this city.
The Directors of the New State Bank
passed orders re-instating the Jacksonville
Branch, which resumed business on Mon
day last, under favorable auspices.
The subject of Clearing House at Gin
cinnati received some attention, especially
in reference to the Bank of the Ohio Val
ley recently established in Cincinnati, os-
tensibly as a Clearing House. The Com
mittee having the subject in charge report
ed favorably to the object for which it was
avowedly established, and recommend.
ed it to favorable consideration, so far as il
should legitimately conduct its business as 8
Clearing House, but no definite orpermaneni
arrangements on the part Of the Branches
were suggested for the present.
The reports of the Branches show the
Bank to be in a sound and prosperous con.
dition. The redemptions have been, and
continue to be, large; yeta very full circula-
ton is maintained with remunerating profits
the issues being paid out on loans based or
the active and real business of the country
The new Bank seems to have inherited, moi
only the character and credit, but pursue:
Che same safe and liberal management which
distinguished the old Bank and made il
so useful and popular with the public.

Mr.. EDITOR:
lnasmuch as the sessions of our Legisla-
ture are but biennial, and restricted to
period of sixty days, it is necessary for the
citizens to study their own wants, discuss
the measures necessary to be adopted. and
as far as possible settle all questions in the
public mind and prepare subjects for Legis-
tive action before the Legislature meet
The press is called-with some justice-one
of the coordinate powers in the Govern
ment, and it has, in a great degree, the pre-
rogative of initiating all important meas
ures, if it does not decide upon them.
Among the most important measures fol
the interests of the citizens to be enacted
this winter, is law providing for careful
geological survey of the State. There is nc

DIR. GRAVES FAMILY MEDICINES.
We do not desire to interfere with the professional
ethics of our medical Schools nor do We possess any
skill in piarn,accuticS, but Dr. Graves has opened
10 our inspection mass of letters from his agents
and most respectable druggists in all parts of tho
country, which commend his family medicines in
the highest terms. They meet with avery extended
sale which of itself is excellent recommendation.
We always feel reluctant to make any endorse
mcnt of medicines, but there many localities
where regular practitioners are within reach,
and so many diseases which require prompt rene-
dies, that supply of the prescriptions prepared 10y
DIR. Graves, commended as they are for efficiency,
would prove almost invaluable. In all cases OF
sickness our first advice is to call the aid of ply
stefan, but if that is impracticable it seems to us
| that DR.. Graves offers remedial agents in ague
cholera morbus, &C., which may he safely used as
| he gives assurance that no deetcrious compounds
are used in their reparaton.-LOuisrille Journal.
