INSURANCE RISKS.

The necessity which continually APP
peals to the class OF persons who
seek insurance OF their property
against risk of loss by FIRE, that
they should look we'll to the policies
which express the contracts between
themselves and the insurance companies,
is illustrated by a recent case in Cincin-
natl. The article insured was whisky.
There was a clause in the policy which
said that the company should not be
held responsible for losses occasioned
By explosion. The insured whisky
caught FIRE, the vapor from the spirits
caused, very naturally, an explosion and
great loss, and now the Court declares
that as losses from explosions were ex-
cepted, there can be no recovery upon
the policy. The decision seems to be
very absurd; but it was tho duty of the
parties who had the insurance effected
to consider whether there might not be
just such a judgment in the case. The
company undertook to insure an explo-
sive article. When a portion Of a lot
of spirits stored together takes FIRE, the
usual consequence are an explosion,
which destroys the rest. This so natur-
ally follows that an insurance of a lot
Of gunpowder from loss by fire, with o
proviso that the company should not BIO
liable in case Of an explosion, would be
just as sensible. The clause in the pol
icy, printed no doubt, was part Of q
general form, and meant to apply to
articles not within the class changer
ous," which might be destroyed by an
explosion on the premises. The clause
was adopted by tho insurance companies
after the mysterious saltpetre or gun
powder explosions at fires In Philadel-
phia and New York, some years ago,
which made what would otherwise have
been light or moderate losses to the in-
surance companies, very heavy. This
stipulation was meant to apply to cases
of q peculiar kind. The Ohio Court,
however, cannot perceive that where an
explosive article is insured any covenant
that there shall be no payment Of losses
occasioued by explosions, is inconsist-
ant. and must be void. We imagine
that if the case can be taken to o higher
Court the judgment now entered will be
reversed. But in the circumstance there
is sufficient to show the necessity which
exists, that every one who seeks an in
surance should attentively peruse the
contract, and see that he does not pay
his premium-money to secure nothing
but a delusion.

ARITHMETIC is tho basis Of all the
exchanges between man and man,
whether the transactions be in reference
to the sale of lands and goods, or the
purchase of labor. And yet complaints
are made that too much attention is
paid to this branch Of learning in the
public schools. From the educational
statistics Of Ohio it appears that in that
State there arc 704, 1877 children daily
attending school, who pursue tho vari-
Gus branches in the following proper
ton arithmetic, 81 per cent; geogra-
ply, 81 per cent; grammar, 10 per
cent; twenty-one other studies, 8 per
cent. Thus only one-twelfth as much
attention is paid to twenty-one branches,
which include history, algebra, physi-
ology, natural and mental philosophy,
geometry, chemistry, geology, a~strouo-
my, Latin, Greek, French, and book
keeping. AS to arithmetic, the branches
enumerated are pursued principally by
older students, and by those who are
not thrown early into the world to gain
a living hence in order to draw correct
conclusions from the above statistics
the age Of the pupil should be given.
The proportions stated do not appear to
be an unfair distribution Of the studies.

Of tho Convention. The Ne,cs says: 1.-THE
delegates to the Democratic Convention Of

amount of political corruption IN their opn

quire all the virtue and all the patriotism
which the Democratic party ever brought out
in its palmiest days to prevent q political
fraud from being concocted and fastend upon
the Democratic voters for their sufrages.
We warn the Western delegates that they
must come here with tho Split Of Spar.ans,
and to yield to nothing that their best and
honest convictions tell them Is not the free,
untrammeled, Impoverished expression Of the
Convention. "-Harrisbwy (Pa.) Telegraph.

are terribly afflicted, for they have been
hunting an available candidate for the
last six months.

and desired that he would make known
to them the meaning Of this writing,
that they might not attempt in vain to

pie that stood by, and under this stone

A Shocking Murder-A Young Lady's
Thronf t,ut by Her Lover.

Thf0ut CuI Dy nOE AoNpEs ~.
On Monday last, VIM. Kidd, a young
man of22 or % years, living three or four
miles from Glenhayen, Wis, a small
village opposite Guttenburg, visited
Coalville and obtained a pair of horses
aud buggy at the livery stable OF Mr..
Ishmael, aud at once returned to the
house of Mr.. McIyers, in the %neighbor-
hood of his fathers, where o young
lady named Catherine Jordan resided,
to whom he was warmly attached, but
who, 1t would seem, did not reciprocate
his affection. He invited her to take q
ride with him, but owing to disinclina-
ton, and to previous indications of a
revengeful spirit, she at first declined
his invitation, and at last accepted, 1t IS
said, upon the request Of others, who
thought it would be for the best.
It was we'll on toward evening when
they set out for the ride, and Kidd made
his way for o kind Of by-road, little fire.
quented, some five miles northeast Of
Glenhaven. Here it is presumed, he
pressed his suit with all the energy Of
mau with deep passions who loves deep
" and could not brook a refusal. When
found, she had her throat cut from ear
to ear, though some slashes on the left
wrist showed that the heroic girl had
struggled bitterly against her hard fate.
But no succeeded her blood stained
and clotted the entire vehicle, and after
life was extinct he threw the body out,
and il fell beside the road, where 1t was
found on Thursday morning by a passer-
by.
After committing this shocking
murder, it would seem that Kidd drove
back to his fathers house, though be
did not go in. He hitched the horses
near the stable, and took a small bay
mare belonging to himself, saddled her,
and made off for parts unknown. This
was probably about half.past ten or
eleven o'clock.
Kidd and Miss Jordon were brought
up together, in the same neighborhood,
and have associated together from
childhood. The parents of each are
farmers, and people of the highest re-
spectability. He has been paying his
addresses to her for two years or more,
but has always been received coolly,
and there are reports of another lover
to whom she was much more attached
than 10 Kidd.
When in the pineries last winter be
wrote her q letter, telling her that II
she did not marry him she would be of
no account to any other man, and one
report declares that he had twice at
tempted to shoot her, once through her
window at night.
OF course the affair creates the most
intense excitement in the locality. An
inquest was held on the body oil Tues
day, but with what result is not known.
The funeral was held Wednesday after
noon, and was largely attended. No
trace Of the murderer has yet been OBJ
tained.-Du6uque (Lowa) Herald, June

She had procured an old crib, and after
wrapping the rope around her neck,
jumped from it, and thus ended her life.
She was twelve years Of age, and a

none would ever have thought such
