VEvhe rate of Insurance is one dollar on
IL the thousand dollars insured, after
which payment no subsequent tax will
be levied, except to cover actual loss or
damage by fire, that may fall upon mem
bers of the company.
The nett profits arising from interest
or otherwise, will be ascertained yearly,
for which each member in proportion to
his, her, or their deposit, will have a
credit in the company. Each insurer IN
or with the said company will be mem
Der thereof during the term of his or her
policy. The principle of Mutual Insur-
ance has been thoroughly tested-has
been tried by the unerring test of expert
ence, and has proved successful and be-
come very popular. 1t affords the great
est security against loss or damage by
fire, on the most advantageous and rea-
sonable terms.
Applications for Insurance to be made
in person, or by letters addressed to

Arrival Of the Overland Mail.

ST. LOUIS, August 2O.-The Overland Mail,
with dates to the Goth ultimo, arrived here to-
night.
The late arrivals at San Francisco had made
some stir, but the market closed very dull, buy
ers holding off for better terms. Pork had de-
clined, extra clear selling at fraction over
$ll. Grain was in demand for export.
The mining news was favorable, but the re-
ceipts of dust were light. The Walker River
and Washoe Valley mines were attracting much
attention. Large numbers had departed for
these diggings.
The official returns elect Judge Crane to Con-
gress from the proposed Territory Of Nevada.
A convention was in session at Genoa, Car
son Valley, for the purpose of forming pro-

Judges, and all necessary officers.

were attacked near South Pass, Juno 10, by
the Grow Indians, and George Stephenson, of
Pittsburg, David More, of Lancaster, Pennsyl-

killed. Henry Florence, of Carlisle, Pcnnsyl-
vania, was made prisoner.
Advices from Oregon state that Mr. Stout,
Democrat, is elected to Congress, by forty -one
majority.
Lieutenant Mullen was progressing finely
with the new road from Walla Walla to Salt
Lake. A large body Of Frazer River miners
had arrived at the new diggngs at North CAL
vile, Oregon, who were reported to be making
from SS to SIG per day. The accounts from
the Frazer River mines are more favorable.
New discoveries had been made north of Fort

A Living Head OH a Dead BODY,

The Newburgh Indec gives the following
curious but melancholy particulars of re-
spectacle farmer in that neighborhood, who
was once d resident of that city:
Mr.. Archibald Campbell, respectable
farmer in the Township of Camden, East,
while engaged in finishing new dwelling
on his premises the scaffold gave way, and
he was preciptated head foremost to the
ground, and dislocated his neck, but very
fortunately, and mysteriously, did not kill
him. When his head was brought to its
proper position, the vetebre of his neck re.
turned to their place with dull, but distinct
snap. The whole body is paralyzed and
dead, from the neck downward. lie is not
capable of moving a muscle or experiencing
the slightest pain. Fortunately the nerves
supplying the muscles used in respiration
were not paralyzed, and he can breathe and
live. Had the injury of the spinal cord
been little higher, he would have died i'm
mediately.. The senses of sight, hearing,
smelling, &c., are normal, and his intellect
unimpaired.

A New Invention.

A patent has recently been issued for an i'm
provement in locomotive engines. 1t is the
magnetism of the driving wheels, thereby
causing seventy per cent. additional adhe.
sion to Theron track-thus enabling light en-
gine of seventeen tuns weight to perform the
work Of a heavy engine of thirty tuns. Anex-
pertinent was lately made, whea the track and
wheels were creased, and the locomotive
chained to post; steam power was applied,
without this attachment, when it required nine
teen pounds stsam to the inch to slip the
driving heels. With the attachment it re-
quired thirty-fve pounds steam to slip the
wheels. On clean rail it required about fifty
pounds steam per inch to slip the wheels with
out magnetism. With magnetism and the
same kind of rail, eighty eight pounds of steam.
1t is claimed that the value of the invention
to railroad companies consists in the saving of
the cost of locomotives, as ono weighing seven
teen tuns can be mado to answer all the pur-
poses of one weighing thirty tuns. Expert
ments are soon to be made on the New Jorsey
Central Railroad,

D1~The Utica Advertiser, alluding to the
defeat Of the Emperor of Russia in the Vice
Chancellor Court, London. in his attempt to
appropriate the $4,000 which the late Sir
james Wylie, physician to the Emperor Nicho-
las, had invested in the English funds, says:
The heir at law is Mr.. Walter Wylic, ship
owner, Kincardine, Sir James sole surviving
brother, and the handsome sum of 100000 will
fall to be shared by few highly respectable
families in our own district, and one family in
Dundee will also reap the benefit of the Vice
Chancellor judgment. 1t was in 1916 that
Sir james Wylie invested 100000 in the Eng
lish funds, his intention being to purchase an
estate in Scotland, and thereafter return and
spend the evening of his days in his native
country. The abolition of the corn laws
shortly afterward gave rise to the idea in some
quarters that the land would be deprecated in
value, and Sir james delayed his visit to Scot
land. The $1,000 meanwhile lay accumuating
till the death of Sir James in 1854, and it has
been accumulating since, till it has now reached
the goody amount already stated. The ex-
penses of the bc!ion fall to be Quoted from the

l love, says Elihu Burrit, to see ono of these
huge creatures, with sinews of brass and mus
cles Of iron, strut forth from his smoky stable,
and saluting the long train of cars with a
dozen sonorous puffs from his iron nostrils, fall
back gently into hi arness. There he stands
champing and foa ng upon the track, his
great heart furnace of glowing Goals; his
lymphatic blood in his boiling veins; the
strength of thousand horses is nerving his
sinews; he pants to be gone. He would drag
st. Peters across the deserts of Sahara, if he
could be fairly htched to it; but there is little,
sober-eyed, tobacco chewing man in the saddle,
who holds him with one finger, and can take
away his breath in moment, should he grow
restive or vicious. ! am always deeply inter-

be by machinery, ho is the physical mind o
