EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-Our quiet
little town does not always furnish
items of interest for your columns,
and the past winter has been even
more monotOnous than usual; but
among the pleasant things Of the
season, and one to be remembered at
least by those connected with il, is a
Musical Convention, conducted by
Mr., Maltby Of Bristol, and closing
with a concert at the F. w. Baptist
Church last evening. The pro-
gramme for the evening consisted OF
Solos, Duets, Quartetts and Anthems,
Mrs. Maltby accompanying with an
instrument. Though many of the
singers were not accustomed to read
ing music so difficult as that present
ed, and the time of preparation but
short, yet the evident enjoyment of
the evening by the audience was proof
of its success. Among the fine cho-
ruses given were, "Hov beautiful
upon the Mountains" also a solo and
chorus, Il waited patiently for the
Lord" A gentleman's chorus, 1.-THE
Stars Shine Bright,n is especially
worthy of mention. "Pass under
the Rod" seemed more beautiful
than usual with Mr.. Maltby's express
i've rendering, and few ministers can
employ the language of entreaty as
effectively as Mrs. Maltby in a solo
"Kneeling at the Gate" As a teach
er Of Music, Mr.. Maltby endears
himself to his pupils by his faithful
ness and kindness, and renders the
hours of instruction not only profita-
bic but pleasant. We hope he may
return among us again. To himself
and also to Mrs. Maltby, whose
talent as a vocalist is equaled by few,
we wish abundant success.

The amount Of business transacted
by the National Life Insurance Com
pany, during the first sever months
Of its operation-from August LIST,
1865. TO February 18th, 1S69-was as
tonishingly large, and speaks well for
the estimation in which the Company
is held by the public. In the time
named, this Company issued S,5S2
policies, representing insurance to the
amount of $40, COS, $50, and costing
about 500, 600 in annual premiums.
This was done despite the manifest
disadvantages of q period Of organiza-
ton of its agencies, and Of the I'M
usual financial s~tringency which has
widely prevailed within that time.
The policy Of the National Life
which has been thus strongly endors-
ed, is to put insurance upon a simple
and positive business basis OF low
cash payments for a specific return.
1t guarantees so much insurance for
so much money, avoiding all the diff
fculties or uncertainties which may
attend the issuing OF notes from those
insured, or dividends 10 policy hold
ers. By its low scale of cash rates it
is claimed that a dividend is in effect
paid in advance, and that this Prac-
tee is more simple and satisfactory
than can be those of higher rates Of
premium which are based upon the
probability of repaying the insured,
at some future time, a part Of the
amount first charged, in dividends
upon their policies. Upon the "mu-
tuaI' plan, the amount of insurance
which, as noted above, cost 100000,
would have cost 5000, 900; so that a
dividend of 100000 has really been
made in seven months tines re-
cord unprecedently large.
The advertisement, in another col
umn, Of the local agent of this Com
pany, is of interest TO all contempla-
ting insurance.

The Spanish Throne,

The Duke of Montpensier, who is in
danger Of getting the Spanish crown,
is the fifth son of Louis Philippe,
formerly kingO { the French. He was
born at Neuill, near Paris, in 1924.
His cunning father married him in
1916 to the Spanish Princess Loulsa,
the sister of Queen Isabella II, and at
the same time brought about the
queens marriage to her imbecile cous-
in, Francis of Assist. Louis Philippe
supposed that this would be a child
less marriage, and that the children
Of the Duke of Montpensier would &C
cordingly inherit the Spanish throne.
His calculation has proved erroneous
in every way. He himself died in
exile, and for more than twenty years
none of his family have seen their
native country. Isabella II has a
number of children, and vet the old
kings principal end will be essential
ly gained when Montpensier himself
puts on the crown of Spain, with a
reasonable chance, as things go, OF
transmitting it to his pOsterity.-

EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-This forenoon
Mr.. Henry Cary who has charge OF
my mill had his left hand very badly
cut by a small ripping saw. While
in the army his right hand was Sc
verely wounded, and some time since
several fingers of the left hand were
sawn off, the saw cutting from the
middle joint of the fore finger to the
end of the little one. The cut to-day
was at right angle to the first, taking
off the remainder of the fore finger,
and cutting the palm of the hand to
the bone, severing the tendOns and
arteries.
In the first instance the fingers
were so smoothly sawn that it was
not necessary for DIR. Brackin to re-
amputate, while in this case the hand
was so badly torn that DR.. Jones and
assistants were Obliged TO spend two
hours in dressing it.

We're present those who remembered
when surgeons were probing, tying

F.cts about the Cuban Revolution.

The present movement for the lib
Grafton Of Cuba from Spanish tyranny
began on the 10th of October last,
when I27 men at Yara, under Gen.
CARLOS MANUEL DE CESPEDES, de-
clared for the independence of the
island. In less than SIX months il
has spread until It now embraces an
area OF 10000 out Of the $1,000 square
miles including the whole island.
Within these limits there are IA
cities, towns, and villages, of which
more than One-half are in the hands
Of the revolutionists.
Out of the $50, 600 men able TO bear
arms on the whole island, 5000 are
in the ranks of the patriots; $4,000 Of
them being stationed in the Eastern,
and Is, 600 in the Central Department.
The total population Of the district in
rebellion is 54S, z38, Of which there
are in the Eastern Department 1885,
36S whites, 1874 negroes free before
the revolution and 51,7 rs slaves Just
emancipated by the patriot leaders.
In the Central Department the num-
bers are I72,567 whites, 42,4H negroes
formerly freed. The patriots have
thus, it will be seen, given liberty to
more than 10000 slaves, and when
they succeed in redeeming the whole
island will do the same for $50, 900
more.
The estimated wealth Of the real
estate in the territory held by the pat
riots was, in 1862, S55O,OO 900, and its
industry and commerce were reckon
ed as representing q capital OF. STA
0 1900. The annual productions
were: Sugar. So, zoo, 900; tobacco,
$15, OO0, 600; otherproduce, So, 900, coo.
1t will thus be seen that the insur-
reetion is by no mean the trifiing
matter the Spanisrds represent it to
be. If the men who are conducting
it can but fairly organize and put in
action q form Of government, there is
is no reason why beligerent rights
should not be conceded to them, II
indeed, their independence should
not Immediately be acknowledge.

EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-I take my
pen to resume the sad theme upon
which / have so often dwelt for the
last few months, two more of our
citizens having passed away since /
last wrote. Mrs. AlmariRe Clark, wife
of Mr.. George Clark, and daughter of
John and Della Hiekok, died March
sd, 1869, aged twenty-four years.
She was q kind and obedient daughter,
a faithful and devoted wife, and a fond
and tender mother. She leavesa hus-
band and two small sons, together
with many relatives and friends, to
mourn her loss. The blow seems the
more severe, it being so sudden and
unexpected. she was taken with fits
on Saturday night, remaining uncon-
scious until Tuesday, when her spirit
took its flight TO the brighter land.
Though hard TO part with one so dear,
yet she is gone. That hand, so warm,
is now cold and lifeless! Her forid
cheek has turned pale in death. Her
eye, so full of lustre, has ceased to roll
in sOftness on her dear children, and
is darkened forever. Her heart, which
once beat so high with hope and life,
has ceased to throb, and her dear voice

at the Disciple Church, on the oath,
by a large and weeping audience. An
able discourse was delivered by Rev.
E. A. Wakefield. Also, Clifford, son
of Nj. and Mrs. Hillman, died March
23d, 1863, aged II years. He was a
promising youth, and a bright future
seemed opening before him. Although
he had been a resident of Greene only
about one year, he had endeared him.
self to his young associates, who will
long cherish his memory with deep
kindness and affection. The blow
falls heavily on the parents, he being
their only son. He leaves parents and
one sister, with other relatives, to
mourn his loss. Though comparative

that they share the deepest and kind

EDITOR CHRONICLE:-I will send
you a few lines as news from the
town, which you can publish if you
| think best. The public has been
apprised of the large amount Of coal,
and universal wealth of this town.
Lately q vein was struck on the farm
of John McNatten about one mile
and a half north of the Center. IT
lead TO the discovery of a large bed OF
coal in that direction. Some imagine
that there is little Of this town but
coal and nothing thought of but
wealth. Still the morals and benevo-
ienee of u people will compare
fayorably with that of other localities,
as the following willshow.
Early in the winter a donation was
held at G.. a. Treats for Mr.. Perkins
and wife who ale early settlers of the
town and depend on its charity for
support. There was a large turnout
and the old people were kindly and
munificently remembered.
Next in order came a donation visit
to Y. Belts which was attended by
members OF all the different churches
and by non professors. Near sixty
dollars in money beside other substan-
tial comforts were left rs a token of
regard.
4 few evenings later the NJ. E.
Parsonage was filed with a joyous
company which kindly remembered
their pastor, Rev. Geo. W. Anderson,
by gifts of money, and q valuable
quilt, chiefly through the endeavOrs
of Mrs. /. Thomson,
Lately all parties gathered at G.. a.
Treats and kindly remembered Rev.
Robert Stranahan, by q donation of
twenty-five dollars in money and a
beautiful quilt presented by Mrs. /.
B. Mackey and other ladies.
More recently, the community met
at the public house, kept by Mr.. Z.
Bartholomew, for the benefit of o.
man Tuttle, a young man who was a
soldier in the late war where from
exposure he contracted disease of the
lungs. The sympathy of the people
was manifested by presenting Mr..
Tuttle about sixty dollars.
