JUDGE MARSHALL.

John Marshall was never more respect

with his coat off, under the trees.
Affection was added to admiration, that
was ALL All felt what the bitter orator Of
Roanoke did, when he SAID in the old con-

He therefore approached the old square

very much like awe, and knocked at the
door, there was no bell with no little
apprehension of the august parsonage
whom he was about to see. The Judge
came TO the door himself, and welcomed
him into his study with a smile, making
him sit down while he examined the pa

An Important Point in Insurance e.

The Supreme C0ult OF Pennsylvania has
decidrd point of considerable importance
to persons insured in tue Lvcoming Mu-
tuaI. A policy was issued by that com
pany, which contained the following pro
! ulSlon viz:
at is also agreed that the aggregate
amout of insurance IN this and other COM
panies, on this property shall not exceed
two thirds of the estimated cash value"
Ip the application, the value Of the pro-
pcrty was estimated at Sill $40 insurance
on it was subsequently effected in other
companies, with the knowledge and acqul-
esceuce of the agent of the Lycoming, un-
til the aggregate amount WAS $4,000 -
The property having been destroyed by
fire, the Lycoming resisted payment on the
ground that the amount insured having ex-
ceeded two thirds of the value of the prop
erty, its policy was thereby rendered void
The Supreme Court decided that the
clause in the policy, limiting the total
amount amount Of insurance two thirds ol
the estimated value, constituted condltlon
which the insured was bound to observe
that the violation of it worked forfeiture
of the policy that an agent could not, 10y
merely acqniescIng in excessive insurance
bind the company to permit a greater
amount of insurance, than that specified IN
the policy and that, ther efore, there cod
he 10 recovery on the policy ofthe Lycom-
ing q Z. F. SIN, 1927
1t is therefore important for those who
hold policies in the Lycoming Mutual not
to allow the total amount of their insurance
to exceed two thirds Of the estimated cash
value of the property insured if they do,
the policies of the Lyco ming Will thereb.y.
be forfeited, notwithSRnd ing anything said
OF done by its agents. Those who wis b

exclusively with other companies, whose
policies DO not contain condition forbid

The LooN.-To "yel like Loom has
passed into proverb, ard is applied, or
dinarily, TO very tumultuous aud unpleas-
ant sounds. But the cry of a loon is not
unpleasant TO me. like to hear it among
the silence and darkness of repose. There
is sort Of grandeur about it which ele-
Yates tito my ear far above the dismal,
hollow hoot of the owl. There is melan-
choIy, graveyard tone about the latter
which always makes me feel nervous
And you are almost sure 20 hear it about
midnight, right above you-for the gloomy
bird Is attracted by tie campfire, and
generally perches himself uron some with
cred hemlock or berch, to give out his un-
earthly boot just as you have passed into
one Of the soundest Of your nights maps.
Another proverb is, " straight as looms
LEG, and no provcIb can be mere truth
ful and expressive. A loon's leg has no
joint. and is like pip, stem. Tie result
is that it fluids it next TO impossible to
walk. Its I" home is on the deep > aud in its
power to remain under water 1t more near

this power, with the instructive knowledge
of the habits OF fish, which enables it TO
I" fare sumptuons'y every day Most &C
tive fish, but the trout particularly, during
most of the year, when seeking food, move
near the surface of the water. And the
trout. in its pursuit of flies and insects, is
generally up. Taking advantage of this
habit, the loon dives deep, keeping his
eye upon his victim, steadily comes up be-
meath him, and gnIps him down while he
is steadily preparing to gulp down some
thing which he hopes TO discover on the
surface Of the water.

inc in partnership house and sign paint
iug establishments at Pottstown and
Pheuixville. They were intelligent, good
workmen, got into business, entered socie-
ty, took part in religious meetings-John
a. Portstown protesting to be a Baptist,
and Frank at PhGnixville a Methodist
Good Templars, teachers at Sunday School,
&c. BY and by both got married, to re-
spectacle young ladies Of means. All went
well until recently, John making arrange
ments to 90 iLto partnership in a store
here, and Frank assisting his wife in a
store she owned at Phenixylle. Sudden
ly both men went away, avowedly to 60
home to Massachusetts,, where they pre-
tended to hail from, } to get money TO go
into business-but as three or four weeks
have elapsed, and they are still among
the missing, it is generally believed they
are swindlers, aud have gone elsewhere
with view of playing the same dishonora-
BILE game. John Howard is $500 or $400

have obtained considerable sum OF mon
ey belonging to his wife. 1t is hardly
