DEAR Slx :-You have directed nv At
tention to the following action of The Ac
cidental Insurance Company Of London,
and inquire whether this Company would
take similar action in Similar case =
THE Accidental Insurance Company, Of
London, have refused 10 pay the pohcy OF
Mr.. parkin Jeffccck, who met his death IN
the cndeavor to save tho lives o! his men at
the Oaks Colliery disaster, on TIE ground
that they did not insure against accident
voluntarily incurred
In reply, have no hesitation 10 saying
that in q case OF accident or death occurring
to an assured party in circumstances such
~ those mentioned in the above extract,
our action would be the reverse oil the Com
pany mentioned.
II would, in nv opinion, be incompatible
with the character AMI Design Of company
OF quasi> benevolent character to :nterpose
as a bar to the payment Of a claim the fact
that the accident or death had occurred
while the insured was engaged in rescuing
fellow being from destruction. and thus
subscribing the cause Of our common hu>
manity. Very truly yours,
enables Wrars. President.

GOVERNOR radical journals are

GovERNoR.--The, radical journals are
going it pretty strong on this question:
Gen. Baker scenes to be getting Roadway
in many quarter of the state. If we lis
tened only to the papers and speakers Of
the north part of the state, we would con-
elude that Col. Merrill was the only candi-
date, but he will find some unpleasant ri
valry before he reaches the goal of the execu-
tive. 1t is said--we care not-that Gen.
Baker is the soldiers choice. and, if so, this
will be o powerful element in his favor I!
Col. Merrill was soldier Of the field and
not of the cospeted office, where neither
shot nor she'll was feared! II we are to
have Republican Governor Of Iowa
which we earnestly hope may not be our
fate--why not have one, if possible, from
our own part Of the state? SAN Merrill
Of this city is be-puffed all to pieces by
those who are playing toady to him in
advance. He is plain man, not terrible
in talert, not awful in social dignity, not
Rothschild in finance. Talleyrand in d.
plomacy, nor a Napoleon in war. He is
an unassuming business man, good neigh
Dor and we do not believe he would dis
credit the state if elected. orr endorse
ment might hurt him with his friends, but
as we intend to oppose him politically, So
cial commentator should not enure to
his injury.

Goods.
There is almost universal cry of dull
times, but, if the mercantile corps of Nc
Gregor may be taken as an index, we see
little reason to complain. The stocks seem
to be as large as ever, there is not so much
retail activity as formerly but in some way
or other they get out of goods, ego east
and bring back heavy stocks. At present
most oil departments of trade are filled up
and customers are invited to examine the
selections.
We were, the other day, in the large
and handsomely-kept store of PETERSON &
Larson and while there we saw some OF
the most elegant fancy CLoAKINcs and
Cassimeres we ever beheld. An acquaint-
ance Of IA years with the Dry Goods bust
ness--from AZ to '56-is Of some value to
US in forming an opinion, but the modern
style of make and wear are so far ahead
in beauty that it is now difficult to tell what
once filled dry-goods store. In addition
to the Cloakings or Sackings of all the
light spring colors the House here referred
to is well stocked with an almost endless
variety Of beautiful trimmings suitable to
the desires Of the ladies. We saw more
than twenty specimens Of large, tasty,
SNOWY buttons Of late style and recent
importation. There were jet, iro,y,
amber. and many most attractive varieties
of composite character-enough to charm
any lady and scare any gentleman's pock-
et-book, but the ladies must have these
pretties or be "behind the times and
hence we give them notice that SAN in his
late eastern visit has consulted their tastes
particularly; others may learn that their
general stock is Of the most substantial
character. .....

DEATH.-Just as we go to press we hear
TUESDAY, 4 P. NJ of the death of Sam
uel Church, universally known in North
Iowa as "Uncle Sam. He was at work on
yesterday, felt bad at night, took dose of
morphine on this Tuesday, morning, to
allay nervous irritation, fell asleep and
never wakened!
The deceased was about IS years of age.
His heart was as kind Us that of child
his resentments were strong but he was of
that decided character which always told
you where to find him. "Uncle Sam :"
an enemy. He leaves a wife and four
children to mourn.

Co.'s that JOHN LAWYER, has been ap-
pointed Agent at Pr. du Ch., from May

by the late consolidation. 1t need not he
told that Mr.. Lawler is tho -iss.s man TOT

addition to his other public responsibilities
we do not know, but he seems to enjoy
good health under the pressure.

The Dubuque Herald has full account
OF the explosion Of the boiler of the Key
City Mills, of that city, on the 22d ult, in
which the mills and contents were blown
to pieces and two men killed and 9 badly
injured. The Herald says: a
The force Of the explosion was fear
full. Persons in the upper part of the city
imagined that we were visited with an
earthquake windows ratified, and the
strongest buildings trembled perceptihly.
Many rushed out of their stores, but see
ing no cause for alarm went in again, but
others, who happened to be looking in the
direction of the sound, noticed q large,
puffy cloud of white smoke and number
of miscellaneous articles flying high in
the air, when all at once the cry arose,
the boiler to the Key City Mills has ex-
ploded!'"
