WE invite attention to the advertisement of the
New York Life Insurance Company. Of the i'm
portancc of life insurance, no man, ut this day,
can fail to be impressed 1t is most heneheent
arrangement-one that puts it within the power
of men, possessing only limited means; on whose
cxertions, during life, depend helpless families
and children to be educated to make ample pro-
visions for them when, in the order of Providence,
the "main stay" shall he removed. Many in
stances have occurred in own community, of
the sudden and unexpected death Of heads u.
families-and they may occur in future In the
case of our late worthy fellow citizen, John II.
Solomon, Esq. who taken from his family
with scarcely a moments warning-we are happy
to say, such provision made. and the Com
pany now advertising in our columns, will soon
put his family in possession Of considerable
sum. We will be happy to receive and forward
any applications for insurance, though want OF
leisure will not permit US to canvass the city.
This Company is one Of the best in the country.
FUNERAL OF THE LATE Cart OTEY.-The funeral
obsequies of this lamentcd man. took place partly at
his residence Saturday last. A solemn address
was delivered on the occasion by his venerable

ty of the deceased: rcmarking that "a great man
in Council had fallen" After the services were
concluded, the procession, headed by the Masonic
Fraternity, moved in the direction of Spring Hill
Cemetery, where the remains were deposited.
There were assembled upon the occasion lar
ger number of citizens than have ever
gathered under similar circumstances; and during
the hours appointed for the burial, the stores aud
banks were closcd the bells tolled and business
generally suspended. The whole city seemed sen
sbe of the loss it had sustained in the departure
of one of its most active, enterpri>ing sagacious,
and benevolent citizens whilst the community
evinced a commendable desire to pay the last tri-
butte of respect to one who was honorcd in life ard
