ACHAPrER OF ACCIDENTS AND INSURANCE
AGAINST THEM.-Scarcely an edition of our
paper has been issued from the press with
in the past few weeks, that has not chron-
icled some fearful or fatal accident. Silas
and George Alden were killed by the burst
ing OF locomotive boiler; Gen. p. w.
Strader had his leg broken, and has not
recovered yet; David Joyce fell out of his
wagon and was killed, and others have been
more or less injured by falling down, run
away horses, and in various ways. Acct
dents of this character are, and must be, in
community like ours, of constant occur
renee. Some of these sufferers have left
families who were dependent upon their
daily exertions for support, now helpless
and dependent upon others. In this recital
we are impressed with the Importance of
Accident Insurance, but recently intro
duced in this city by Joseph Dowdall,
Agent for The Travellers Insurance Con-
pany of Hartford, whereby, for q sum so
small as to be within the reach of all classes,
policy can be obtained, insuring any sum
from $500 to $4,000 in ease of death by ac-
cident of any kind, and compensation of
from three to twenty-five dollars per
week, in case of disablement from any ac-
cident whatever; thus securing dependent
ones against want and suffering in case of
removal by accident of those on whom they
depend, and securing those support who
are dependent upon themselves, in case of
any disablement by accident from pursuing
their usual avocations. This Company, we
are assured, is sound and reliable institu-
ton, being indorsed by some of the best
business men of Hartford. Mr.. Dowdall
furnishes freely full circulars and plans of
its operations, and issues Policies at his
office, No. Union Block, up stairs. Thos.
Arnold and Gilbert Ellis are Solicitors, and
are meeting with that success which in
surance of such beneficial advantages de-
serves.

DOLLARS AND HoGs.-The local of The
Journal says he stated that the number OF
hogs slaughtered by Barcus & Co. amount-
ed to $4,000 per day, and adds: "Quite a
difference between dollars and hogs!" So
we think, and, therefore, we are puzzled. to
understand how the number of hogs Is so
many dollars. If I'VE local" had said the
value OF the hogs was SO many dollars, all
would have been clear. According to his
explanation, If he were asked how many
hogs Bareus & Co. slaughtered per day, he
would answer $4,000. Rather an irrelevant

GRAND LARCENY AND GREENBACKs.-
An Ohio statute makes grand larceny to
consist in stealing money or property to
the value of thirty-tive dollars. The pa
pers report decision recently made in the
Fairfield County Common Pleas, in a case
where a man was indicted for stealing
property to the value of forty-fve dollars.
The question was raised whether under the
statute the value of the property must not
be estimated according to the constitutional
standard of value-gold and silver coin.
The Judge of the Court decided that it
must be so estimated.

Speer's Samburg Port wine, which COM

the good qualities of port and claret. 1t is
neither insipid nor bitter, but hits the hap
py medium most to he desired in constant
beverage or in drink for the sick. For in
yalids it is invaluable by virtue of its tonic
qualities, and particularly its absolute free
dom from all adulterations. Actual trial
will show that the Samburg Port wine has
excellence OF its own unrivalled by any
other wine in the market.-Neu Yorker.

peared from his drawer.

turned home. Inquiry was made at the sew
eral blacksmith shops in the city; but at

in other directions. Wehave not heard that
any clue has been obtained to the myste-

Properly RECovERED.-Our readers Will
recollect that few dayssince, we mention
ed that burglary had been committed at
the house Of Humphry Jones on the corner
of High and Long streets, and that gold
watch and large amount of jewelry had
been stolen. We are Sratifed that great
portion of the property has been recovered.
1t Ithappened, as related to us, on this wise:
A boy was playing with marbles near the
entrance to hotel in Dayton. One of the
marbles rolled under the door-steps of the
hotel. In searching for it under the steps,
the boy found box containing a gold
watch, jewelry, and couple of
outsiders, such as are used by burglars. No
one knew how the box came there. 1t was
taken to The Mayors office and advertised;
but no one appeared to claim the property.
At length a person recollected having
read in paper of this city an account of
the burglary and theft at Mr.. Jones'. 1t
was suspected that he might be the owner
of the property. He accordingly was sent
for, and went down to Dayton with Mar
shal Thompson early OH Thursday morning
Mr.. Jones, we understand, identified all or
nearly all the property in the box, with the
exception of the outsiders, as his own. But
no clue has been obtained to the burglars
