PURE CIDER.-H you want an article of
genuine cider-the pure juice of the apple
and no swindle about it-call at Mr.. Coz
PEY's on Deaderick street. He is never with
out a supply, and we know of none in town
that is equal to it. 1t is clear as crystal and
sparkles like champagne. The abominable

CITY INTELLIGENCE.

REPoRT OF TRUSTEES THE PoOR.-The gross ex
penses of the almshouse for the year 1860 were
S33, l40.02. The entire receipts from all sources
were S35, 1913. The actual expense to the city
after deductng to the institution from va
rious sources was SIS, ,3SO.25. The total amount
required to be levied for 1861 is estimated at S2S
62l.56. The expenses of the institution for 1860
was Sl,04G04 less than in 1859. The indebtedness
at the close of the last year So 4503S. This is
caused principally by the County Commissioners
not paying promptly their proportion. They are
now in arrears between six and seven thousand dol
lars. This wthtthe balance due from the city on
taxes not collected will pay off the debt. In conse
quence Of the city having entire control of the in
sttution from the lst Of next April, the expenses
of the city will be increased some six to seven
thousand dollars. In consequence o. having the en-
tire support Of what termed ELSEWHERE pau

LIFE ASSURANCE AT THE SoUrH.-We print be-
low letter from the secretary of one of the most
substantial life assurance companies in the United
States in reply to an inquiry the part of an in
sured citizen of Washington whether the troubles
of the times may not vitate bis policy of life insu-
rance:
OFFICE OF THE--LIFE INSURANCE Co.,,
January l6, 1861. (
Dear Sir: Your favor of the 10th inst, is before
me. Most certainly the-Lite Insurance Compa-
nv have never thought of and never will repudiate
their policies of insurance any other contracts
and cannot think any life insurance company
would do Is it not fire insurance companies to
which you have illusions? Their policies
terminate every year, and they are at liberty to
insure again or not
Life insurance contracts continuous, and so long
as the assured fulfil their conditions, bound
to stand by our agreements, and shall do so. The
only conditions of our policies bearing any way
upon the present "deplorable sectional troubles"
and which are not likely to affect you, are those
making void your policy in case you "shall, with
out previous consent, enter into any military or
naval service whatsoever, the military not in ac-
tive service excepted;') or in case the assured
"shall die in violation of, attempt to violate,
the laws of the United States, or of any State,
county, or place."
The first can only mean voluntary entering into
military service, which would involve an exposure
of life to which our rates are inadequate, which
would make void the policy. This you are not
likely to do.
In regard to the second, it is plain, and means
just what it says; but should such state of things
arise-which is hardly possible-as that you any
of our assured should be required by the laws un-
der which they live, meaning constitutional law,
to stand in the breach and defend the laws from
violation, l cannot think justice equity, by
which this company intend to be governed, would
release US from our obligation.
While we do not intend to insure against viola
tion of law, we do not intend to withhold a man
from his God-given rights of defence from violence,
if the law requires it, patriotic defence of his
country and the Union. Hoping views will
accord with yours, and that the contingencies re-
ferred to may not be forced upon our country, |
am very respectfully yours,
Secretary

TREASURE RECovERED.-In raising the treasure of
the steamer Malabar, which was wrecked last sum-
mer, on the coast OF Ceylon, the divers worked
under water through nine feet of sand and then cut
away large iron plates half an inch thick, forming
the sides of the mail room of the steamer. Eighty
thousand dollars worth of treasure were thus OBJ
tanned in one day. The steamer had over 81 ,5O0,-
600 in gold on board, all of which has been saved.
A writer in the Atlantic Monthly, describing the
Americans, says:-"They have skins of ice, and
veins filled with burning lava"
VAST ExPENDrUREs-The cost of the Crmean
war is estimated to have been $3.50, 1000 900.
