DISTURBANCE IN SCHooL.-ln the
village school in Charleston. last week
occurred on of those disgraceful
scenes which too often happen, as
natural result Of neglect in parental
authority, and too lax condition Of
discipline in school.
One Henry Lyon, youth of seven
teen, not having the fear of Pcda-
gog@e before his eyes, and having too
far given way TO his iconine nature.
forcibly resisted the teacher in his at
tempted correction. The result was.
a great uproar and CONSERVATION in
the school room. and smart battle
between the parties. The teacher.
was a Young man, and possessed Of
sufficient strength to have fully con-
but fearing he might iniure
his pupil, and perhaps. in some way
make himself ameuablc to law. kent
his temper, and in the end they mutu-
ally gave up the contest. the teachers
authority thereby greatly impaired, /
and the Zion" unconquered.
The citizens Of the village, howcv-
er, desiring that the teacher should
be fully sustained and the order of .
society maintained, brought the Offend
ef before Justice Parlin. where he
plead guilty and was fineG five dol
lars and costs.
The only blame alta he'd to the
eacher is that he had not po,se,,rd =
ullcr knowledge of our Statutes in
such cases made and provided, and
Inflicted such summary and severe
as to have vindicat4d hi.

Policy, where the party had been insured for
years. The premium coming due on Monday
october 10, the assured party drew his check for
the premium on the 18th, but it was not pre-
sented until the 16h, when it was known the
party was dangerously i'll, of which illness he
soon died. The agent declined to receive the
premium, and the matter was referred 10 the
Company. The secretary replied:-"We are GER

The Policies of the Berkshire Life Insurance
Company OF Pittsfeld, Moss, are not liable to
any doubt or question in a case OF this kind, as
they are all NON-FoRFEITABLE, and what is
granted as a atduOr by the Equitable, is granted
by the Berkshire as matter of right, EQUITY
and CONTRACT WITH THE ASSURED, and secured
by the Policy itself.
Policies issued by this Company are not for
feited by the non-payment OF premium, but are
continued in force for period of time proper

such non-payment; as fully explained in the

Is straightforward. Every want of their patrons

OF goods they keep cover a wide range though
II we were Obliged to name a special feature in
this regard, it would be that their stock excels
in what are termed medium grades-those
adapted to the great mass of the people. This
does not hold, however, with reference to
their cloths ,cassimeres, and domestics, in which
their stock is unsurpassed by any other in the
city. Their facilities for buying goods at first
hands are unusually good and as they buy
mainly for cash, aud attend the best sales, OF
French goods more particularly, their prices are
uniformly moderate. We observe that in pop
lins, reps, and other fashionable dress fabrics
their prices are now lower than the same articles
have sold at since the fall of 1862.
But we will leave our readers to visit this en-
larged and greatly improved establishment, and
decide upon its additional merits for themselves.

CREDIT SYSTEM OF LIFE INSURANCE

Missrs. Peck Il Hillman agents of "The
Connecticut Mutual" at Troy, state in the Bali-
more 0nde71ortter of October, in their 'reply to
undenlable facts" that no assessment of pre-
MUM notes has euer been found necessary
This statement is SO notoriously incorrect. and
| evinces such "inexcusable ignorance y or some.
thing worse, that it becomes proper to refute it
! by further statement of 'undeniable facts.n
The Connecticut Mutual did find it necessary
to assess premium notes four times within the
last six years. It was done in settlements with
policy holders in 1860, '6l, 49, and '63. That
there shall be no misunderstanding upon the
subject, give the settlements made in those
years upon policy which they issued III Jan
uary, 1856.
An assessment of 20 per cent. upon the notes
was necessary to make up the difference bet ween
40 per cent. and so per cent. dividend. These
four settlements were as follows:-Premium
Note, $50; Cash Premium, $50; six per cent in
terest on ($236) four outstanding notes, $l4l6,
and Sl2'OO the "excess of note over dividend"
an assessment of little more than 20 Der cent.
upon the premium notes for four years; making
the cash payments of those years. Ss5.l6 an.
nually, instead of $50. Whenever desired. these
settlements will be substantated by the state
ments that were rendered by the Company.
Notwithstanding the assertion of P. d II. that
mo assessment of premium notes has eUer been
found necessary" it seems to have been neces.
sary to assess them 20 per cent. per annum. no
less than four times in tour years.
AZ justice requires an equitable distribution
of the "divisibe surplus" among the members,
1t is presumed that the settlements of those
years were all made upon the same basis: if they
were not, so much the mhre discreditable.
P H. have showSSb either s4nexcusable
isnorance' or want OF VI 4aety.
