LIFE AssURANoE,-We were much gratified
to learn that Dr. Creighton, whose death is
elsewhere announced, had assured his life in
good conpany-we believe the "Honae," of
New York-for sum which his family, left
to the rigors of a gloomy winter will find a
great relief. We wonder that so many neg
lect to make just such provision for their low

and laborer as well as the merchant, to secure
policy which will secure from want the fam

For the Delaware Ga2
Annual Exhibition of the Armenian Society.

/
| Annual Exhibition Of the AtheniaR Society.
The first exhibition of the present cellegi
ate term, was given by the Atheniau SOciet,
on Friday evening last. An intelligent ant
respectable audience assembled at the Societ,
Hall to witness the debut of some Of the o. q
! Us gifted sons and in this they were not il
the least disappointed.
The salutatory Oration was delivered by J
| o. Rice.
Mr.. Rice. had well written speech. Be
ing foreigner by birth, he speaks our Ian
guage with some difficulty, which detracts from
the force of his effort.
The essay by Mr.. John Parsons. entitled
Knotg Ihyself, was very carefully written and
showed no little attention on his part. His
manner of reading is not impressive, because
not sufficiently animated.
To add variety to the exercises comic de-
clamation was introduced into the programme
and spoken by q, W. Cole.
The discussion was next in order-which
was exciting and interesting. It was con-
Quoted upon the affirmative by Messrs. E. T.
Wells, and George P. Holman. Upon the
negative by Megsrs. NJ. J. Timmous, and Ed.
Keefe.
Mr.. Wells, with his characteristic shrewd-
ness, made what would be called a lame
speech in opening the discussion. His clos
ing speech wss, however, conducted with more
ability, and surpassed the expectation Of those
hearing his first effort His second was G..
P. Holman.
Mr.. HIS voice is slightly nervous when
raised to its accustomed pitch, but possesses
much clearness. His style of composition,
though somewhat fgurative and fowery, is
interesting, because spoken with vigor and
energy.
Mr. Timmons' manner of writing is exact
Iy the opposite OF the last mentioned gentle
man. He lays down his premises carefully
and proceeds to prove them by logical train
of reasoning, which is almost sure to effect
conviction.
Mr. Keefe's speech was carefully prepared
and well delivered although he was the least
person on the programme physically, he is by
no means so mentally.
The grafton of S. W. Brown, and the essay
of W. Il. Cole, were well prepared and well
delivered
The valedictory oration, was delivered by
Mr.. S. NJ. Ford.
He selected for his subject, The Vest
OF Mr.. F's. speech we hardly know what to
say. Although many Of his illustrations were
in sympathy with the preconceived notions
of his auditors, yet the general tone of his
speech was not at all commendable.
The exercises of the evening were closed by
a few remarks from the President, Mr.. J.
F. Brotherton.
Upon the whole we think the Athe mans
can congratulate themselves as having a
good literary entertainment.

The Spring elections in this State show not
only undiminished Union majorities wherever
there was = contest, but in many cases large
gains over the majOrities Of last fall.
In Cincinnati the entire Union ticket is
elected by nearly 5000 majority, which il
proportion to the vote cast is fully up to the
majority of last fall, and gain of over 5000
on the vote Of last spring.
Dayton, the late residence Of Vallandigham,
is redeemed, electing her entire ticket by the
handsome majority of 800.
Lancaster, the residence Of the martyr y
Bishop olds, is also redeemed, the Union
ticket being elected by small majority.
In Columbus, hitherto overwhelmingly Demo
cratic, the Union men gained six COuneilmen,
and greatly reduced the aggregate Democrat
ic majority. The Nedary cOpperheads ran a
separate ticket against that Of the Democrats
proper, but it received very meagre support
In Cleveland the Union majority was about
$500, the largest ever given on SO light
vote.

A partisan Grand Jury in Fairfield cOun-

down and killed two soldiers who had not even
spoken to him, for the crime of man Elaugh-

composed Of similar material would without
hesitation acquit him when brought to trial.
They at the same time indicted the soldiers
with whom young See had the quarrel, and
who had been sent up frem Tennessee as wit

and assault; and the county authorities made
q demand on the Governor that they be de-
