BURNED TO DEArH-One of the most hea,t
rending accidents that it has ever been our duty
to record, happened this morning at the house Of

1t was built of hewed logs about six inches square
and was six feet in lesgth, width and height
1t was covered with boards and in it was large
pile of straw, broom sage and hay, on which the
children played. No door had been cut, SO the
children had to crawl underline sill which rested

a. Honest industry must be held in esteem, an
indolence regarded disreputahle. and the
grant punished. - ou. Uorth's Message.
In the above short sentence much good advice
10 contained Besides the thousands of negroes
who are idling away their time, there are many
white men Especially in the towns) who are do
ing nothing at all but louuging about waiting for
something to turn up" that they can make a
diving without work. Let public opinion make
lit di.reputable TO be indolent. and let the idle
IMAM. Young or old who relies solely on his father
or mother for food and clothing. be held in dis
repute by respectable meu and women. and
change for the better may be expected. All
must realize the fact sooner or later, that who
ever now rises tn eminence and wealth must do
so by his exertions, by industry aud energy.
The man who feels too proud to work. or consid-
ers 1t disreputable, is certain TO sink in public
estimation and live in poverty. There has been
great changes recently. and the sooner all con-
form to these changes the better. Let the va
grant, white or black. be punished and let ndo-
lence be regarded as dsre putable

THE EQUITABLE LIFE
ASSURANCE SOCIETY
OF NEW YORK CITY
Accumulated Fund 100000.
PURELY MUTUAL

The Officers of this Society desire TO present to
the public, for their consideration, two modes of
dividing surplus premiums, Tor profts).w have
been recently adopted by them, and fo. me first
time granted to policy holders by any Life Compa-
ny, and which, it is believed present advantages OBJ
viOus to all.
LIST The sum insured has been doubled, without
additional premium, at the last dividend upon poll
cies which have been in force FIVE years
End Premiums have been reduced one-half at the
same dividend upon similar policies.
The success of this Society has not been equalled
by any Company, either in this country or Europe,
the Society 'sseash accumulation being about half q
million of dollars greater than the most successful
Company at the same period in is history and its
annual cash revenue from premiums, st the end of
it's seventh year, will be equal to that of the Target
Company in the country at the end of its fifteenth.
1t is easier for man to pay his Premiums than
for his family to live without his aid and without
his means.
Many widow and orphan have had great reason
to be grateful that the advantage of Life Assurance
was understood and embraced by the husband and
father.
This Society issues Policies for Life, or On the
Endowment Principle, at rates Of premium as low
as any first class Company. No premium notes
taken required.
No forfeiture of Premiums. In the case of whole
Life and Endowment Policies, at ordinary ages, in
force for at least three years, the Society will on
due surrender, issue paid-up Policy for the full
amount of remiums paid.
Policies issued by this Society are ipdisputable
on account of suicide after the first two years.
The entire surplus of the Society ia divided in the
most equitable manner among policy holders.

papers for further information.

sag= An extraordinary marriage took place,
recently, at the Union Methodist Episcopal
Church in Philadelphia. Mr. Rein, German
by birth and celebrated tanner of horses BY
profession, was united in the holy bonds of mat
rimony to Miss Hanna j. Duke, the Iowa gian-
tess. The bridegroom is rather below the mid
die stature of mankind in point of size and
weight, he scarcely turning the beam at one
hundred and forty pounds. The bride weighs
five hundred and eightyfve pounds avoirdupois.
She has been exhibited at Judge Ingalls, Mu--
scum, on Market-street, for some time past. MIR
Rein, on visiting the establishment, fell violent
ly in love with their gantess, proposed marriage,
and, "of course, she said yes" Last evening
at eight O'Clock, the carriages drew up before
the museum, and the twain, soon to be made
one, entered therein and proceeded to the
church. The bridal party consisted of the
Siamese twins-Chang and England other
celebrities Of the museum. Upon entering the
church, the visitors were the most Conserved of
all observers" They were united in the matri-
1nonial bond in accordance with the plain usage
of the Methodist persuasion, after which they
retired. The event was extraordinary because
of the remarkable fact of the difference In the
size of the parties. 1t was regarded with
great de:,l of interest. The bride did not talter
tren,ble upon being led to the altar
