EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY,"
The New York Independent contains the fol-
lowing notice of the Equitable Life Assurance
Society,"
The brilliant career and present high stand
ing of the Equitable presents a striking exam
pie of what may be accomplished by liberaity
and promptitude, based upon great business
experience.
1t has accomplished more in eight years
than the five senior companies accomplished
collectively in the aggregate period OF fifty
five years.
Its cash dividends of profits are immediate
(aiter the first year,, and are very large. On
ordinary life policies the dividends of profits,
covering six years, average annually cash re
turn of more than forty per cent. of each pre-
MUM paid by the assured, of medium ages
Considering that the returns are made at the
end of the first year, and every year thereafter,
these are undoubtedly the largest dividends
ever paid by any company.
Mr.. Beecher fully indorses the society by
stating that he has assured his own life there
in, thus becoming better acquainted with its
affairs than those of others, and that he should
select it again were he to choose again.

The New Orleans Times says of General
George F. Shepley, who was for some time
Governor of Louisiana under the administra-
Federal commanders who were on duty in this
State, created, probably, the best impression
as to frankness and manly bearing. Our most
respectable citizens were not ashamed to re-
oognize and associate with him as gentle
rrooabiy not, but now that you have re.
'urneu 70 your treason and are ripe for war
again there may be some doubt about Gen.
onepleys reciprocating your sentiments or be-
ing willing to associate with you.

Miss GOODRICH AS TULLIA.-If beauty, genins
and brilliant reputation have any attractions
for our citizens, they will not fail to give Miss
Goodrich fitting reception tonight. She
comes to us with every recommendation that
could bring her to the favorable notice of all
classes. With singular unanimity the papers
of Boston, New York and of the Pacific coast,
have lavished upon her what would be ex-
travagant encomiums, were she a less deserv-
ing young lady. But her history during an
eventful public life for one so young, has been
a succession of triumphs in the various charac-
tiers in which the versatility of her genius has
enabled her to appear. The piece in which
she is to make her first appearance here, and
the company by which she will be supported,
are of character to give her the best possible
opportunity to make an favorable impression.
The efforts made by Miss Goodrich to furnish
a first class entertainment will be appreciated,
and we doubt not, appropriately rewarded

EMERY AND PENDLEToN.-At Mr.. Pendle-
tons reception in Bangor Wednesday evenin e
Mr.. Marcellus Emery was very properly en-
trusted with the duty of delivering the well
coming address, Mr.. Emery welcomed him
as the laboring mans friend. There is some-
thing especially fitting in this. The Democra-
cy of Maine, abetting the rebellion and pro-
slavery movement at the South, invite hither a
politician who never voted a man nor a dol
lar" to put down the first rebellion of labor
oDning aristocracy. To welcome him they Sc
lect a man whose active abettng of that labor
oUning aristocracy was SO outspoken and n
tolerable that even the law abiding citizens of
Maine could not endure it and SO threw the
printing apparatus of his disloyal sheet into
the Penobscot. Remember this, people of
Maine. You can never forget how Emery
fired into the rear of the Union army. He has
never apologized for a single shot Behold
him now running to the arms of Pendeton
upon whose efforts the Democracy chiefly re-
ly for reducing the Republican majority. But
why didn't the ungrateful Copperheads of
port,arad se,>a Latham? Hasn't he, too, toru
down Union flag? Didn't he weep when
Lee surrendered?
