card of acknowledgment from tn,
widow of the late Harry Devou, o
the prompt and honorable paymen
Of a Life Insurance policy Of $1,000
issued by the old Union Mutual Lif,
Insurance Company Of Boston, Mass
This case affords striking illus
tration of the benefits of Life Insu
rance. Mrs. Devou is left with ,
large family to support, and the time
ly provision thus made for the family
by the husband and father while liv
ing, is highly appreciated by those
dependent upon him for support, and
the fact that this Company paid the
claim before it was due, is another
instance oftheir prompt and honor
able mode Of settling all claims, thus
affordirgpecuniary aid to the widow
and orphan just when most needed
without the tedious delays which
usually attend other means of pro.
vision for ones family. Certainly
there is no other way whereby Z
husband and father can 80 easily and
surely make an ample provision for
those dependent itpon him. as by Lite
Insurance. This fact has often been
demonstrated, and we would recon.
mcnd every one to take a policy Of
Life Insurance in this old Company
The "Union Mutual is one of the
oldest Life Ius. Companies in this
country, and has long been doing a
good and safe business, and has paid
to its members, in losses and divi-
dcnds s2,0OO,OO0 90, and now has
about IS, ,0OO,O 900 90 of accumulated
assets with which to meet all future
claims. Its monies are mostly loaned
in the west at high rates Of interest,
thus giving to the insured the security
afforded by eastern capital and the
laws Of the eastern States, toget her
with the advantage ofthe high rates
of interest on investments in the
west, and having no stockholders the
insured receive all the profits annual
ly, in proportion to their contribu-
tions to the Surplus. Thus affording
Insurance at the lowest actual cost,
with ample security and over twenty
years experience showing record of
which any Company might we'll be
proud.
This sterling old Company is rep.

ELorEMENr. The Democrat, Of
Bloomfield, gives an account OF one
Mrs. Brown, wife of T. d. Brown,
Esq, Of Davis county, eloping with
a young man by the name Of John
Corrick. Mr.. Brown is said to be an
old and very highly respected citizen
OF Stilesville, in that county. 1t ap.
pears that last winter Corrick re-
ceived an injury and was taken care
of very assiduously by Mrs. Brown
who is an excellent nurse, and though
they seemed to be from that time up
to the time of the elopement quite
affectionate towards each other, yet
nothing was thought Of it, especially
as Mrs. Brown was 48 years Of age
and Corrick hut %. 1t is thought
that they had gone in the direction
ofSt. Louis. Such a case is one
among many that are. happening
daily, and which it is beyond human
power to give reasonable solution
to. But IS the old adage goes "therc
is no accounting for tastes"
