EXTENSIVE FIRE.
SI9. 900 Worth Of Properly De-
strOySd.

About nine o'clock last night flames
were discovered issuing from the stove
depot aud tin store Of John Eichberg, on
the northwest corner OF Main and WASH
ington streets. The alarm was given,
aud the engines were promptly on the
ground, bus the flames had 30 great .
head way that the firemen, though they
worked NEST energetically, could do no
more than keep them from spreading.
The whole OF the psrishable stock and
fixtures, furniture, etc, were destroyed,
the loss being about SO 600. By soms
carelessness, all Of Mr.. E~ichberg's pri-
vate D were left out of the safe yes
terdsy evening, and We're totally de-
stroyed.
The fire seems to have originated
in the center of the store, and was
probably the result of accident. Mr..
Eiehberg is insured for SO. 600, as follows:

Life Insurance.

The New York Courier, one of the
stsunchest and best business papers in
that city, speaking of life insurance, pays
the following well merited compliment
to the KnickerbOcker Company, OF
which Dr.. s. r. Clark is the sgenti in this
city
Now is the time Of year when Life H.
surance Companies, having completed
the examination and balancing OF their
books for the past year, begin to take q
glance st results aud decide on their
measures for the future. So extensive q
business, involving the interests OF 80
many individuals, requires careful man
agement and NC small amount OF gener-
alship, especially in these times when
there are so many and so plausible
schemes 8fioat for the i~nVostHleDtin cap
ital. Managers of companies holding
large surplus funds need TO be wary and
prudent indeed to avoid making unsafe
investments.
We believe the year just closed has
been a very favorable one for all
sound snd well conducted Life C0mpa-
MES. The subject of Life Companies
has never attracted 50 much attention
from the public at large, nor hes there
ever been q more wide spread desire FOR
Information concerning il. To both
these results we have contributed by
calling the attention OF the readers o!
the Courier, from time to time to the
BIS. and safest modes of insurance, aud
warning them against anything which
seemed to us deiusive, dangerous, or i'm.
practicable.
Among our foremost Companies
we have heretofore alluded to the
KnickerbGckeT, which hes attained the
front rank both in wealth and popular
ity, and we are glad to. say that our 70
vorable opinion of it has been largely
shared by the public. Ia the yesr 1865
it insured 10, 722 peEsons for SSS 073 coo
and its cash assets are now over 50. $50,
600, against q little over 1866, 900 at thC
close Of 1865. These figures demonstrate
the estimation in which it is helC
by an intelligent community, ani
the successful management whicl
has characterized it. We are sure on!
