Insurance against Accidents.

Perhaps but few of the people of this
County are aware of the fact that james
Carr, Jr., Of this place, has the Agency
of 1.-The Travellers Insurance Company of
Hartford, Connecticut" This Company
insures against all manner of accidents.
An insurance Company of this kind is
certainly great blessing to the poor man,
who is entirely dependent on his daily
labor for the support of his family. For
instance: A person pays s. to be insur-
ed against accidents for one year, he will
in case be should be disabled, receive So
for each week he may remain disabled ;
and in case he should be killed, his fam
lily will receive $500 And in case he
pays $40 premium for one year. then, in
case Of disabling accident, he will receive
$40 per week for each week of his disa,
blllty, and in case he should be killed
then this sum would entitle his family to
$4,000. Parties can be insured for any
sum they may desire at these or higher
rates. We instance as a case in point
the person who fell and broke his leg at
the Factory building last week. Had he
been so fortunate as to be insured at
premium of $40 per year he would then
draw $40 for each week of his disability.
And what great favor it would be TO
his family had he been insured. Those
desiring to be insured, or to acquaint
themselves further with the workings Of
this institution should call upon Dir. Carr,
who resides next door to Judge Mackey,
and they will be made fully acquainted
with all the particulars connected with it.
We most heartily commend this insti-
tuition to the favorable regard of all in
terested.

Dues from Southern Postmasters
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. 1865

W AsDINGTON, Oct. 70, IS65.
Three hundred and sixty one thousand
four hundred and five dollars and ninety
cents is due the Government from the
defaulting postmasters of the Southern
states, which they retained when the Re
beilion broke out. They are now being
called on Tor the amount The Virginia
postmasters are mostly in arrears, owing
$1,000 AZ. AS all their securities were
required to have real estate it is believed
that the larger portion of this sum can be
recovered. In 1861 their refusaIs to nav

"Will the Press tell us what was, and
what was not, decided in the late elec
ton 7"
ANswER-It was decided" by over
twenty thousand majority that the editor
Of the Doylestown Democrat could not
be Auditor General Of Pennsylvania, and
that the people were not willing to con
fde the Gestinies of the State aud cCun
try to a party which had DO higher mis-
sion than to abuse an oppressed race, and
to apoloeise for an accurSed institution oi
which even the shareholders were ashum

Union party was strong enough to defy
all the misrepresentation of its opponents
and to discuss. without dissensious or ir
rele"ance, all the great questions Of the
day, even, if that will crafty the Dcmo-
crdt. to the assertion of the duty of de
tending the freedmen against the cruel
ties and bigotry of those Northern politi-
clans who continue to "cry havoc" upon
the negro, notwithstanding their late mas
ters stand ready to concede to them many
most material franchises. If the Demo-
crot can prove that this means giving the
colored people of the South the right OF
