y We find the following just tribute to
honorable dealing. in the Boston Daily Jour-
nal, ofthe oath ult. -
PIscArAQUA MUTUAL FIRE AgD MARINE In.
suRANcE CoMPANY-"HoNoR TO WHOM HONOR
Is DUE" To Ge Editor of the Boston Jour
nal, On the 18th day OF August last we effec-
ted an insurance on our property through a
certain party, for the sum ofone thousand dol
lars in the Piscataqua Mutual Fire and Marine
Insurance Company of South Berwick Me-.
and on the second day OF October following
thereafter, said property was destroyed by fire.
We Immediately notified the Company thereof,
and were surprised to learn that the policy had
not been reported or the premium RENTED, and
the party issuing the policy had exceeded his
authority in SO doing, and the Office Of course
ignorant of the existence Of such q policy all
OF which were grounds sufficient for litigation,
particularly-as the company, at that time, had
not completed their organization, and II would
have been very naturally supposed unprepared
for any demand for loss. In fact, very few COM
panies would have for one moment recognized
the claim, yet Notwithstanding oil this we are
gratitied at having the opportunity Of pro-
claiming TO the world and especially to the
insurance and commercial community Of Bos-
ton and vicinity, that as soon rs the claim was
investigated, and adjusted we prom pity receired
our money therefor, and hence this communi-
cation, as we feel it our duty to give publicity
to prompt and honorable action OF this char
acter. Therefore we can and do conscientiously
and checrfully recommend the "Piscataqua
Mutual Fire and Marine Insurance Company "
to the confidence of the public rs an honorable
and reliable Company and her officers we have
found to be high toned gentlemen and cxperien-
cel men. By inserting the foregoing facts in
the columns of your valuable journal you will
ob,ige us and correct an unfounded report
which appeared some months since In your
paper, which report is the cause Of this COM
munication. Yours respectfully,
UNION HAIR FELT CO.,

disaster, enacted well the part Of pirates in des-
polling the dead bodies as they foated ashore,
and breaking open trunks, boxes, etc, and steal
ing their contents. Capt Dali, witnessing this
conduct Of the pirates, undertook to put stop
to it by knocking down several of them with a
billet Of wood, but they overpowCred him aud
compelled him to retire, when they resumed uu-
molested the work Of piracy. What pity the
: hangman could not have the job of gibbeting
them! .. ...--..,,......r
In happy contrast with this inhuman conduct,
however, is that Of Seth Kinman, an old Califor-
MIA mountaineer, who was among the first 10
rush to the aid Of the shipwrecked people
During the whole Of the exciting and painful
scene, Kinman was foremost amongst the rescu-
ers, and twas owing mainly to his daring, heroic
efforts that many were saved from drowning
When not rowing in the boats, he was seen NOV
ing about in the surf snatching from death one
after another Of the uufortunates as they
Aoated or swan exhausted toward the shore
Seth Kinman viii be remembered as the man
who presented to President Buchanan the buck
horn chair, about the time Of his inaguratioh as
President. Something moro than . passing mo-
tice is due to Kinman's noble conduct on this
trying occasion, but want Of space forbds further
