AN UNPRECEDENTED RECORD.-It is
ter its organization, the National Life In
surance Company Of the United States of
America" had issued no less than 1896
policies, by which the public had insured
tothe amount Of over fifteen millions Such
asuccess is unparalleled in the history oflite
insurance, and there must be strong infu-
ences which have contributed to this aston
ishing result. The fact that the Company
is national in its character has been a
strong recommendation. 1t was chartered
by Congress with authority to transact bus
mess in any and every part of the country,
and it has acted upon this authority by
seeking the best fnanciels, and most active
and respected business men throughout the
States and in the Dominion of Canada. TO
act as general or sub-agents. The publ ic
| having confidence in the honesty and sa-
gacity Of these agents, have given special
attention to the character of the work
which they represent, and have found that
the National Life presents features certain
to commend themselves to popular favor.
And yet, Notwithstanding all the many
manifest advantages offered, it is a matter
worth special note that in the first ten
months Of its first year this Company
should have issued insurance to the amount
nearly double that ever issued by any 9TH
er company in the world during the entire
first year Of its existence, and exceeding by
nearly 50, 600, 600 the amountinsured by any
company previous to 1868, during ANY full
year OF its operations.
This Company has, by widespread and
systematic advertising, invited the fullest
investigation into its plans and purposes
how well it has borne the most exacting in
quiry is best shown by the fact with which
this paragraph began-the issuing ofnear
ly . 400 policies, covering over 100000
insurance, in ten months time.
The local agents of this company appear
by advertisement, in another column, anC
to that we refer our readers for further in
formation concerning it.

ANOTHER BIG RoBBERY-The Ocean
Bank Of New York, was robbed about ten
days ago by most audacious burglars, who
seem to have been learned in every branch
of their profession. 1t was a queer rob-
berry, taking all the facts into considera-
ton. Between $1,000 and S25 900 in cur
rency was taken, but $4,000 in checks
payable to the bank, with $20,0 900 or $50,
600 in gold, and $500, 000in certificates were
left, although it had all been Overhauled
by the rogues. We suppose the checks
and certificates were worthless to them
but the gold was good, and why did they
leave it? We should have supposed they
would have taken that in preference to the
currency, or as soon, at least. The tools
used to accomplish the burglary were of
the incest and almost without number
They left behind them over four hundred
different pieces. They went well prepared
certainly.
Since the above was in type, we Learn
that the rogues took about a million OF
money.

Legislatures, congresses and parliaments OF
the world have furnished thousand pro-

of corrupt judge. Need we refer to an
example in our state for proof that politi-
cal opinions DO have weight, and GREAT
weight, in the election of judges? All are
aware that Z. p. Redfeld is one of the first

averse to the party always dominant in Yer
mont and in the nation at the present time.

time if members were asked which would
make the better judge, Mr. Redfield or the

| him if he is the best man for the place ?
His POLITICS is not right Let us ask, is

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.-The Rutland
Herald in the following brief article
tavorS woman suffrage:
Who SHALL BE VOTERS No ques-
ton of such magnitude has ever been
up for the consideration of American
citizens as this. On this, as on every
other question Of human rights, the
safest place for the nation is when it
is on the move in pursuit of justice.
Taxation and representation should
go together. They are the founda-
tons upon which this Republic was
founded, and upon which it rests to-
day. Separate them, and we are
floating rudderless and at random.
You cannot put this nation in peril
by any measure you adopt when try
ing to do justice.
When men and women are made
equals in the eye of the law, and not
before, shall we complete the founda.
lions of just commonwealth, which
were laid by the Puritans, and
strengthened by the Declaration of
independence. Then we may hope
by the united action of both sexes. to
regenerate the Republic, and make it
an example to the world and future
ages. The experiment of a Republic
based on equal rights, can never be
fairly tried while one-half of the adult
population remains an inferior caste,
with no voice in the government.

SEVERE ENCOUNTER WITH A SNAKE
An exciting and dangerous encounter with
a snake took place in Canterbury, n. H.. a
short distance from the village of BOscawen
Plains, few days ago The Circumstance
es of the affair were as follows: Nellie
Dodge, daughter OF Mr.. James Dodge, a
substantial farmer in Canterbury, accom-
panied by anotherl little girl about the same
age as herself, went out into a field near
Mr.. Dodge's house III the afternoon to gath
er strawberries. They had wandered but a
short distance when Nellie accidentally
trod upon something in the deep grass, and
instantly large black snake sprung up at
her and Immediately commenced to wind
itself around her legs. Enraged at having
been trodden upon, the snake lifted its head
and showed its anger by its protruding
tongue and flashing eyes. The child thus
in danger was nearly overcome with fright;
but her companion, with presence of
mind seldom exhibited by one of her age
quickly found two sticks, and giving one tC
Nellie they both commenced an attack up
on the reptile. Again enraged, the snake
endeavored to wind himself closer and high
er upon the body of the child, and succeed
ed in biting her three times before he wa:
driven away. The child was assisted home
by her companion, and is now under the
care of a physician. One of her limbs i:
badly swollen and infamed, but she will
probably recover.
From the description given by the chill
dren of the snake, there is no doubt bu
that it was of the variety of the black snake
popularity known as the Racer" This
kind grows to the length of seven and some
times eight feet, has white ring around
its neck, and when running carries its heaC
erect from six to eight inches above thu
ground. The children spoke particularly
of the white string tied around it.
neck" meaning its ring They spoke of i
as being what to them seemed a fabulous
size, and said that when it ran off it KEEP
its head up in the air and looked back a
them. The bite of the snake is not venom
Gus, but is injurious. Its fayorite mode OF
attack is to wind itself around the body OF
its adversary and strangle the person or OBJ
ject. The rare presence of mind of thu
children in the above case undoubtedly say
ed the life of the one attacked.

IRISH SYMPATHY FOR THE F'ENIAN
PRISoNERS.- Dublin, June 20. A
meeting was held in this city last
night to urge upon the Government
the release of the Fenian prisoners.
Nearly 1000 people were present.
Mr.. Butt. a prominent lawyer, made
a speech, in the course of which he
said, the motto OF all true Irishmen
ought to be " bide your time, put your
trust in God and keep your powder
dry If the British Government
persisted in keeping the men incar-
cerated all its professions of concil-
iation would be useless"
Mr.. Williams, Of Dungarvon, made
an impassioned speech. He declared
that the Fenian prisoners would not
accept mercy, They demanded JUS
tice from ministers. If the latter re
fused it let the blood be upon THEN
own heads. He would not, however
advocate a resort to the sword, tOl
that doctrine was now out of time.
