LIFE IsspRAScE.-"I I can make a better invest
for the benst of my wife and family" is often
the objection made to life insurance. But there is
no way in which small sum of money be so
prodtably and securely invested for such purpose,
a. in policy your life because the payment Of
single premium secures, and at once, avery much
larger sum than the investment of the same amount
could possibly do in the ordinary operations of trade
Besides, securing sum in this way does not in the
least interfere with your endeavors to accumulate
in any other way you may desire.

Sss The LATE SHOOTING AFrAlR-DgArH

~ TuE LATE SHOOTING AFrAIR-DEArH OF
THE VIcTIa.-Last week we noticed the sad occur
renee Of the shooting of Michael Meixell, early on
Thursday morning of last week, by Samuel Irwin, a
boy about seventeen years old, inaictng serious
wound in the breast of Meixell, who discovered
in the act Of taking apples from the premises
of the boys mother. We regret to say that Mr..
Meirell died in the afternoon of the day. Tho
deceased it s said bore the character of peaceable
and orderly citizen. This sad aair has involved in
affection both families. After the death of Meixell
young Irwin was committed to Jail, but on Monday
last was released on a writ of habeas corpus, and
entered into bonds in the of S0O 900 for his ap-
pearance ct the November session OF Court.
