Non-forfeiture as applied generally to Life
Insurance Policies means that after two or
more payments have been made and the policy
larses that the policy is good for the pro "a ia
proportion OF the policy paid for. The Mass
achusetts Non-forleiture law applied to Mass
achusetts companies, protects the insured for
the full amount of the policy so long as the
value of the policy converted into premium
money will carry the policy.
An example under this law has Just occurred
in this city, and we cite it, simply because it
is so often doubted or denied.
Mr.. William Thompson insured his life at
the agency of j. W. Munger s. Sons, with
the New England Company for $4,000, dated
August q, 1868. He then paid 60 per cent.
OF his first premium in cash aud gave loan
note to the Company for the remaining
40 per cent. When the renewal was due Mr.
Thompson was not able to pay the premium,
although he was intending and hoping to do so
soon. Nevertheless he did not bat suddenly
died May II, 1870, over nine months after the
policy had elapsed. The Massachusetts, law
comes to his help and Mr.. Thompson will re-
ceive his sc 10 insurance less his nste part of
his first premium and the second premium
which had not been paid, leaving him $4626.67
Had he been insured in any of the older COM
panies even now doing business in this coun-
try, he would doubtless have received nothing.
And this is but a. truthful statement of the
benefits of the Massachusetts non forfeiture
law in its application to life policies. ..... /.

The HIGH SCHOOL PARTY.-At the High
School exhibition yesterday afternoon one of
the youn ladies remarked that at was one of
the most momentous occasions Of her life"
70 many others we have no doubt the party of
last evening was considered one OF the most
momentous occasions in their lives. And yet
they were not proud-that magnificent assem-
blage of fresh youth, beauty and culture of our
city. They were willing to mingle on terms Of
perfect equality with men learned in the pro-
LESSONS, members of the School Committee
and with their own teachers. 1t was a beauti-
full party. The toilets were very elegant, the
the supper superb and reflected credit on Bar
mum, tie music worthy of the Portland Band,
and after supper dancing was INDUCED in to
late hour. The committee of reception were
Miss Inez Blanchard and Annie Brewer of the
class of 80, assisted by Messrs Lewis B. Smith
and Rev. B. F. Bailey. on the part of the
School Committee, who were unremitting in
their attentions for the enjoyment Of their
guests From the front of the stage was sus-
pended the motto of the class of so ('F. G.

Mayor Kirys5ory said he should be very
short. He was once asked by man out West.
what do you raise in that cold bleak State of
Maine? Well told him, said the Mayor, that
we raised little potatoes, hay and fish, but
principally girls and boys Our soil might be
poor, but we raised such crop of girls and
boys that they populate the West, they are
among the leading people all over the country,
and to day ladies and gentlemen VIC have
shown you what the girls and boys of our city
can do. Here is our wealth. Wipe out our
town schools and Maine had better be sunk in
the depths of the ocean, and no money can be
better expended than that spent by the School
Committee
The Brown medals for scholarship were then
awarded to Misses Myra L. Drummond, Hat
tie c. Robinson and Carrie L. G. Scales and to
Masters Chas. W. Clarke, VIM. Fl. Yeaton
and Hannibal C. Emery.
''Auld Lang Syne" was then sung by the
school AMI the exercises were concluded.
The Principal, Mr.. Stone, said that another
year some method would be found to make the
exercises shorter, as it was the time had been
far exceeded. We must admit that three hours
and half is rather too much of good thing.

OTTAWA House, PEAKS IsLAND.-This ia
vorite summer resort is now opened for the sea-

of the house tor the last two seasons. Prepar-

to accommodate and provide for the comfort
and enjoyment Of the usual large number of
visitors. We notice with pleasure the intro
ductlon of new feature in the management,
viz: the presence of a quadrille band, whose
members will be always on hand to furnish
music when required, either to the guests OF
the house or to picnic and other parties when
not otherwise engaged. We most heartily wish
the house every success, and have no doubt
that as heretofore it will be literally patronzed
by tourists and pleasure seekers generally.
