A STRONG WESTERN INSURANCE
CoMPANY.-We take pleasure in call
ing the attention of our readers to an
advertisement on our second page of
the st. Louis Mutual Life Insurance
Company. 1t is hardly necessary in
these times to commend the subject
of life insurance. From the most re-
liable sources we gather the informa-
ton that this company ranks first and
foremost among the life companies of
the west, and western companies pos
sess an advantage over eastern in the
loan of money. Mr.. J l.. Yates, our
well known townsman, represents
the st. Louis Mutual, and any in
formation in reference to the COM
pany can be obtained of him.

A Curious Case Of Matrln,Ony.


We occasionally read of noteworthy events
in matrimonial matters in our exchanges,
and this week We feel called upon to note
one in our own midst. The marriage is re-
corded IN the proper place in this issue, the
happy couple being we'll known and re-
spected citizens, tho groom having ut ono
time filled the Office Of sheriff of tho co,,n-
ty with credit to himself and the position
he occupied. The bride, by the ruthless
hand OF death, has been COM
PEELED to follow five husband to tho
grave (ali former respected citizens of this
community and don't tho widows
weeds, " and now Cupid, without regard to
past circumstances, has buried another
fatal dart, and at the ege of about fifty five
years, she again bows at Hymen's altar, to
which she is led for the sixth time, to offer
herself willing sacrifice to the god of
marriage by gentleman who has entered
his eighty-first year. She becomes his
second wife. 1n every instance, savo tho
first, the lady has married wilowas, with
children, while she has remained without
issue. As now, while she is childlcss, she
has married a husband who has foun-
ded a tribe. The number OF
his descendants. children, grand
children and great grand children, was
when last counted, just ono hundred
and sixty-five, and there have been num-
Der OF accessions since-nearly enough to
make the number seventy, he thinks There
are other circumstances in connection with
the gentleman's life that we feel constrained
to rofer to, though not altogether appropri-
alto under this head perhaps. Notwith-
standing his numerous progeny, lie has had
but one death in his family-his first wife.
He never borrowed dollar in his-life, and
never paid a cents cost in suits ut law on
his own account. We may add, with
pleasure, that he is rema, kably hale and
healthy (as is also the bride); weighs 21O
pounds, stands nearly six feet in height,
and stands even higher in the estimation
of his fellow-citizens than he does in his
boots. May "fortune favor the brave"

our way to one Of the churches and in-
stead Of q sermon heard an address upon
some missionary or other benevolent OBJ
ject. The address concluded, two breth.
ern wero sent around to collect contribu-
tons. Parson L. was one of the basket
bearers, taking the side upon which we
sat. Immediately in our front and upon
the next seat negligently reclined friend
Bill A., gentleman of Infinite humor and
full OF dry jokes. Parson l.. extended the
basket, and Bill shook his head.
''Come William, give us something"
said the parson.
''Can't do it," said Bill.

When tho Sierra Nevada was wrecked on
tho Pacific coast, recently, Captain Bogcrt,
having made arrangements to send the H.
dies and old mon in tho quarter boat to
shore, turned to Gov. Wood, of Illinois,
who was passenger, and said in loud,
sharp tones: "Now, Governor, it is your
turn. Mako haste r TO which he re-
ccived the following answer, which, spoken
under the circumstances, shows TINT
the days of true heroism have not yet
passed away: ''No! said the bravo old
man; "nearly all here arc Young men, to
whom life is of valuo. l am seventy-tour
years of age. I will wait" If there had
been for a moment tho slightest feeling Of
''every ono for himself" that feeling was
instantly dissipated by the noble, self.sac-
rificing sentiment thus expressed. Captain
Bogert, whom ''ono of our" heard describe
the incident, said in true. blunt, sailor
like fashion, while tears were brought to
his eyes by recollections of the moment
"When l received the answer, a lump rose
in my throat as big as my fist; couldn't
speak for some seconds. As soon rs
could, took hold of the Governor, and
said as loud and as harshly as could, Sir,
l command you to get into that boat !"
and in this manner the generous spirit was
almost perforce passed into the boat The
ship now keeled over considerably more
than she had done previously, and only a
portion OF the upper side was above water,
and every one had to cling to the bulwarks
to avoid being washed overheard.
In contrast to this tho following incident
is related:
Before the first boat left q passenger of
somewhat diminutive proportions came
struggling and climbing along to where the
captain was assisting the passengers over
the side. His ''make up" was ludicrous
enough to excite emile even under the
trying circumstances of the moment. He
had on no less than three life-preservers,
blown out to an inordinate size; one was
attached to each leg, and one round his
waist Dressed in this position, he ad-
dressed the captain thus: ''Stow me away
in that boat, sir, and bursting into tears,
he continued: Il have new wife, sir, and
don't wrnt to be lost" His request WINS
not granted, and he had to await his turn.
