INSURE Your LIFE Every man
should insure his life, and thus secure q
sufficient sum to help those dependent
upon him to get along after he is taken
away. At the present time- at any
time-life is insecure, and we know not
at what day we may be called to another
world. In view of this, it is duty which
men owe to their families and to them
selves, to get their lives insured, which
does not cost as much as many people
imagine One of the best companies in
the land is the Etna Life Insurance Com
pany, of which Mr.. Geo Fl. Noble is

nation at his Office, at the corner OF

and this week, far there have been fourteen and
fifteen. Five minutes alter the doors were opened

sons that not only the benches were filed, but
also there were SO many persons standing in the
aisles that 1t was almost impossible for man to

Alexander Robinson was charged with the larceny
OF PACK OF bank receipts, valued at "a the pro-
petty OF the Philadelpha and Reading Railroad
Company The defencant was porter in the en-
p,oy of the Company at their Office and the alega-
ton was that, taking advantage of the confidence
acted, committed the larceny, and sold the paper to
a rag and psper dealer Several officers OF the Com
pany testified to the loss of the receipts.
But the principal witness for the commonwealth
was one Joseph Weirman who was also in the en-
ploy of the Company, and who processes to have
titled that, after he had been with the Company
about two months. Robinson, one day, proposed to
him continual partnership larceny of papers, by
which could be made So 90 or So every now and then

he had never, in any way, abused that confidence;
and also that all the waste paper OF the different
rooms were given 10 him and the other parties who
would sell them and thus maze a little extra
money. Then, thev alleged. that on this occasion,

Vera Cruz Affairs on the Rio Grande-
General sedgwick Relieved OF HIS Com
mand-Ortega Released from Arrest
Correspondence Between Generals
Grant and Sheridan and Secretary
stanton.
Sheridan arrived here at an early hour this
morning, and will return tomorrow. He very
much disapproves Of the action of General
Sedgwlck in his recent occupation OF Matamoras,
and will relieve him of his command.
1t is not known who his successor will be.
This afternoon General Sheridan had pro-
tracted interview with General Escobedo, when
the question of 0rtegas arrest was discussed.
Eseobedo declared himself incapable OF resisting
any machination of his, and as the result the
following was sent over the wires 10 Brazos this
evening to the commanding ofhcer:-
BRAzos SANTIAGO, Texas, December e-You will
at once release from arrest General 0rtega and
party now atyOur post. BY command CON OF
j. Shafer Crosby, ABIDE Camp
Transportation to New Orleans was rendered
General Ortega and his party, but he will not
accept it.
Everything remains quiet upon the surface in
Matamoras. There ls, however, an under-cur-
rent which indicates trouble. The question of
the Governorship is not yet decided. Escobedo
promises that an election by the people shall
take place, as the State is now free from inva-
sion. A military Governor will be appointed In
the meantime. municipal election will be
held in a few days.
II is stated on good authority that General
Escobedo has ordered Coltinas to Chihuahua for
trial, owing TO his outrages upon the ranches
throughout the State, and that Canales had been
ordered to proceed to Monterey at once, with a
view to joining the force now operating in the
vicinity of San Luis. portion of his troops
left Matamoras thsIevening. CortInas will not
obey his order, nor is it thought that Canales
will go beyond the limits of the State.
Those well acquainted with Mexican men and
manners confidently predict new troubles,
which Will again close the roads, and put an
end 70 business operations.
General Canales, senior, will return to his
home at San Fernando at once. He declares
that his efforts TO secure peace have been futile.
Should the anticipated troubles arise, Canales
or Cortinas, or both, will probably pronounce
for Ortega. The parIisaps of this aspirant are
scotched, not killed, and trouble may be antici-
pated from him yet upon this frontier
The feeling among the soldiers and lower
classes in Matamoras Is very bitter against
Americans since the occupation. The impress
sion among them Is that the American troops
were compelled to evacuate, owing to the COM
binatiOn between Canaes and Escobedo.
Caravajal has been heard from. He denies
that he is partisan of Ortega. In the event OF
an election for Governor of Tamaulpas, he will
doubtless be candidate He is popular through
out the State, with the exception of Matamoras.

Two Children with an Axe, and then
Cuts Her own Throat.
CHICAGO, December 10 "A terrible tragedy
occurred at Cairo yesterday, which has created
great excitement in that locality. A Mrs.
Theresa Lieberman, wife OF brewer, about
hall-past in the morning, undoubtedly in
fit of insanity, attacked her two chidren-a
boy of nine years of age and girl of seven
with an axe, chasing them about the room. and
mutilating them terribly about the head and
neck. The Wretched woman then seized a
knife and cut her throat, nearly seVering her
head from her body.
When found she was lying dead upon sofa,
and the children weltenng in their blood upon
the floor. The girl will probably recover but
the condition of the boy is doubtful. The hus-
band of the deceased testified that he and Others
were at work in the brewery near by, when, al
half-past 0 o'clock, he heard loud and pitiful
cries from the children; be disregarded them at
first, but as they continued, he left his work to
ascertain the cause of them; on entering the
door OF his house he saw the children covered
with blood, crying, and his wife sitting on sofa
gasping her last with her throat cut, and blood
Sprtng from the wound.
He gathered the little boy in his arms, and, to
the iuquh y, 'What is the matter?n received the
reply that Mamma had tried to kill them with
an axe" He and deceased had been married
twelve years. She was thirty-eight years Old
never drank, was not violent in temper, and
they had lived a peaceable and agreea BILE lite.
She had never been subject to mental derange-
ment, but complained a short time before the
occurrence OF feeling heavy'headed. They had
lived in Cairo two months, having come to that
place from Ca pc Girardeau, Missouri
