PRoMPT PAYMENT-From cards Of ac-
knoWled sments, published in this paper, it will
be seen that the losses sustained by the State
Insurance Company Of this city, by the recent
FIRE at Eaton Rapids, have been promptly adjus-
ted aud paid. This is as coon, if not sooner
than the money could have been obtained from
any of the old Eastern companies. This is a
Home Institution, composed of men in our own
midst OF known responsibility, and such prompt
action as that above stated is sufficient common
dation Of It's merits and reliability. We heartily
commend this Company to the attention and pat
rOnage Of the public.

70 In our notices Of deaths will be
found that OF Harry Clifford, only child of N. 2.
klborn Esq. who has recently come among US,
He was noble and perfect child, in thought,
speech aud actions-lar beyond his years, and
bad he lived, promised to become one OF the
finest of men. From our Utmost heart We CT.
tend to the bereaved family cur sympathy.
Death, in whatever form and at whatever age il
may come, is a bereavement; but when the only
and promising child is taken, and that too, from
parents who are far from their friends and rea-
ti'es, aud among comparatively strangers, it i,
indeed a bereavement which bot few of M car
realize.
