The Home Insurance Co. Of Co
lumhue, Ohio.

This sterling Company, as an Ohio
Company, has gained reputation
for reliability and safety that it may
well be proud of. BY examination
of the State Auditors Report, it
stands first on the list Nine tenths
of all its policies haye been issued to
patrons in Ohio, which very justly
shows its merit and trustworthiness
in time of need. The income of the
Company has now reached Three
Hundred Dollars per day, and each
month continues to add to its re-
ceipts. During the year 1868 its
business added to its cash assets
Forty Thousand Dollars.
The Directors of this Company,
who are largely interested in its well
fare, have pride to see its Capital
and Assets largely increased each
year, and to attain that end, have for
the present resolved to declare no
dividends to Stockholders, but to
foster the resources of the Comp any,
to increase steadily its capital and
afford doubly a guarantee to its
policy holders. With this noble re-
cord of the Company, we bespeak
full line of patronage from our cit-
zens.
Our worthy townsman, S. A. ScoTT,
is Agent for this Company, who will
give full information, and is author
lied to transact the business of the
Company. Also, James NJ. Irwin,
Porter.

@ The popular packet Mountain

mendable zeal in building up this
trade-in making Gallipolis the port
of Decentralization, of both freight
and passengers, for the Kanawha-
and we are glad to note that he is
meeting with such success. 1t adds
to the Importance of our city, as
well as being profitable to his boat.
His efforts in this direction are even
interfering with the trade of the
Cincinnati and Kanawha packets, as
witness the following from the Gin
cinnati Times of last Friday:
The Annie Laura don't find the
Kanawha trade very profitable; she
has not made much in the time she
has run there, and her up trips ap-
pear to be lighter every week. The
Fleetwood is cutting into her trade
considerably, as she takes Kanawha
River freight at as low or lower
rates, and is fast and favorite boat

SAD CATAsTRoPHE AND SUICIDE.-On
the up trip of the steamer Ohio No. 4,
Friday last, when near Vanceburg,
KY, lady, wife of Mr.. McMAHAN,
of Indiana, on her way to Millersport,
without giving any warning, sprang
overheard from the after guards of the
cabin. Her husband was in the state
room, and niece was standing by her
side, (the other passengers being at
breakfast) but they were unable to
prevent her, so sudden was the act.
The boat was stopped and the yawl
lowered almost instantly, but she was
seen on the surface of the waves but a
moment, and, before aid could reach
her, sunk and rose no more. She was
about As years of age, and in bad
health. No cause is known for the
act, other than alteration of mind from
i'll health, she having attempted self de-
struction once or twice previously. The
bereaved husband, with his niece, stop
ped at Vanceburg, to seek for the body
of the unfortunate woman. The sad
occurrence cast gloom over the usual
gay company on the steamer that was
felt for some time.
The officers of the boat rendered all
the aid in their power, but the affair
passed SO quickly. it was of no avail.
R- We heard of a transaction, a
few days since, which speaks well for
not only the energy of our wholesale
dealers, but for Gallipolis as a point
for merchants to lay in their supplies.
A number of merchants from the Ka-
nawha region, who are also dealers in
tobacco, went to Cincinnati and sold
their tobacco, and then returned here
and bought their Dry Goods, Groce-
ries, Boots, Shoes, DC. They found
they could do as well here as in Gin
cinnati. A town that has such live
business men as our wholesale dealers
are, must prosper, and we trust that
they will prosper likewise.
EFT In our notice of appointments
by city Council, last week, an impor-
tant error occurred. We got the

Gamblers on Railway Trains.

A BRIEF description of some of the prin-
cipal gamblers whose names have become
familiar to the experienced traveller on the
railroad from this city to New York, and
especially from New Haven to the me.
trOpolis, seems almost demanded. Gam,
blers and pickpockets are reaping rich
harvest on this route, despite the very per
sistent efforts of the railroad corporations
to oust them and nothing will make them
shrink back so quickly as seeing their
portraits in print.
The traveller by the afternoon train,
bound, let us say, for New York, will no
tice, If he enters the smoking car-which
naturally is business mans resort on a
long iourney-shortly after the train
leaves New Haven, a midle.sized, fair
looking man, about thiTty-eight years old,
wearing short black whiskers reaching
under the chin, and curling round the
face. He generally wears silk hat and
dark brown broadcloth clothes. lie is
neither brilliant nor stupid looking in
dividual; his eyes alone are quite keen.
He might be taken for country school
master or village lawyer, were it not for
the searching glances of suspicion he gives
before he proceeds TO business. He is the
stool-pigeon," or gambler number one OF
the party.
This man steps quickly through the car,
generally at New Haven, stops few mo-
ments at the door, quietly and mOdestly
surveys the passengers. He then selects
vacant seat, If possible in the immediate
vicinity of several gentlemen who are
talking together, and generally miDgles in
the conversation.
Ere long the door opens again, and an
entirely different specimen enters. This
is gambler number two, who has some
thing Of the "Bowery" air about him. He
has red, full face, fringed about with
short, red hair; wears round-top
slouched hat, is dressed with general air
Of carelessness, Is between twenty five
and thirty years old, under medium size,
probably weighs l40. He usually selects
seat at some little distance from his COM
rade and interests himself with the country
boys and confident young men.
Gambler number three is not long now
in making his appearance As he swings
open the car door with nervous ENERGY he
would almost be taken for banking OF
insurance clerk, or some down town book
keeper who lives fast. He wears thii
season wide band soft hat, short cutaway
coat tight pants, a bit Of jewelry is about
thirty years old, weighs perhaps l80, short
In stature, fair face, with no especial dis
tinguishing characteristic He takes In
the situation, whatever it may be, at 4
glance, ana gets seat, if possible, in tn,

He looks about a few moments, theT
