L,yx IxsunANcx.-There are yet skep-
tics on the subject Of life insurance.
Individuals, from II narrow-minded vie"
of business matters, frequently express
sentiments antagonistical and dcroga-
tory to the theory of life insurance.
Yet, when we a~nalyze the statements OF
corporations ~transactins this benevolent
species of tho insurance business, we
find a very large annual distribution OF
their funds among the public ut large,
heneftinS the widow. the orphan, the
creditor, or the successor. F~orty-one
prominent American life insurance COM
panies paid out during 1867 the large
sum OF seven million eight hundre
and sixty thousand and forty-six dollars
in losses. As, however, there arc
double this number of life insurance
corporstious in the United States, 1t IS
safe to estimate that AT least twelve
millions of dollars were distributed TO
those entitled to receive the moneys du
ring the year which had but just closed.
Institutions handling and dispensing
such su annual amount ut large, but
he considered in every respect humani-
tartan cconomizcrs, and as founders OF
the general good and welfare OF the
whole country. Men work and toll du-
ring a lifetime, frequently to die leaving
u scanty subsistence to their unprotected
family. By dint Of u little saving, n
policy Of lifc insurance has been pro-
cured, which ut once gives to the family
the advantages of money at disposal.
Is there ausht wrong in this? Can any
argument be brought to bear against
the honcNly-managed and prudently-
conducted life insurance company
The Endorsements OF great and good
men applaud the benevolent workings
of this now popular and successful sav-
ing of the peoples funds. Twelve

10 insure in, can he relied upon, and in
which the proprietor of the NEWS is in-
surcd in the sum of five thousand DOL
lars, and which is doing business right

WANDERING ISFASr.-iesterday morn
ing a little girl, Gully about three years
of age, wandered of from her parental
home at the upper end Of Gold Hill, and
strange to say, no search for her was
ap~parently made by her parents, whose
names are Mulligan, during the day.
About noon Mr.. j.. b. Stewart, who
keeps Il lodging house opposite the Em-
pirc Mill, lower Gold Hill, observing
this same little child playing among
some pigs in his stable yard, went out
and took charge Of her. She was 100
infantile to tell any n intelligibly what
her name was, aud diligent inquiry
among the ueighbors failed to derelope
who were the parents Of this little tod
ding wanderer. In the evening Mr..
Stewart came up and informed Marshal
Cummings, who together with police
force Began, and others, at once instr
tnted strict Investigation, but yet heard
no inquiries being made for the missing
child, neither could they get any clue as
to the parents. At n late hour IN the
evening the father, by some means,
learned of its whereabouts, ana went
down and got his child. How such n
little infant could wander u mile among
ounr,z teams, mills, deep cuts, open
shafts, bitches, and all sorts OF tumble.
off places, without being killed, is hard
to realize. Our Heavenly Father evil
IDENTIFY watches ever little children more
e~fectually than earthly parents do.
