ACCIDENT 1NsURAN CE.-The business of acci-
dent insurance has taken propositions in accord
ance with the scale on which all really great and
useful undertakings are transacted in this land of
expansive energies and indomitable perseverance.
few months ago it was scarcely heard Of Now
it is forcing its way into every corner of the land
and no one thinks himself doing justice either to
himself or to his family, if not having already &C.
qured an independence, if he leaves home without
efecting on insurance which shall secure it in the
event of accident.
And an admirable thing is this accident insur.
ance How much suffering, how much misery,
how much ruin is it not calculated to avert! A
man leaving home feels that, dependent as himself
and his family are upon his constant personal ex-
ertions, he can prevent all embarrassment in con.
sequence of any accident to himself by simply
taking the precaution to take out policy of in
surance for any amount he may choose. What
need be said to induce true man to avail himself
of such an opportunity The expense is mere
trife-the advantages secured in case of accident
ineffable.
Another admirable improvement has just been
made in the business, by the providing for the
issue of combined policies, for insurances against
loss of life from all causes, including accidents,
disease and natural death, with compensation for
nonf fatal personal injuries. This must be hailed
with satisfaction everywhere, and will assuredly
become the general form of insurance throughout
| the world.
| In the meantime, the accident policies will be
continued independently of the combined policies,
and will be taken ont by every prudent traveller,
| to the great advantage of the whole community ;
for the business, like all others which contribute

along the banks of the Cuyahoga river to see the
water flowing toward the source whence it came,
carrying with it logs, blocks and other floating
material. In the afternoon the river rose about
two feet being at its highest stage about o'clock
when from some cause the water began to flow in
an opposite direction from the lake. The wind
was blowing stiff breeze from the south, which
makes the matter more singular. In the face of
this breeze it moved with considerable speed.
