Very Prosperous COmpany.-The Con-
tinental Life Insurance Company of New

lied several years prior to it. About twen-
ty-two thousand policies have been issued
since 1866 the year of it's formation, and in
1869 alone nearly nine thousand policies
were taken. This is certainly a gratifying
exhibit and speaks volumes for the com
pany and its officers The Continental Life
has established reputation over which
none of its rivals can claim just precedence
The Pennsylvania central agency of the
company Gn which this county is cmbra-
cedD is under the supervision Of j. f. Eaton,
of Harrisburg, whose admirable manage
ment and personal exertions have been pro-
ductive of the most gratifying results. The
following certificate will show with what
fidelity and promtitude the Continental
Life discharges its obligations

The Bodies of the Condemned The
Huntingdon Globe says as some may be
curious to know what disposition has been
made of the bodies of Bonner and Boden-
burg, we relate. On Wednesday Sheriff
Neety had appointed two colored men to
bury them. They took the bodies to an
open lot in the northeast portion of the
town in the evening, but both the grave
diggers got drunk and left the job before
it was completed, and neither of the bodies
were buried. On Thursday morning the
Sheriff appointed another party to finish
it, but while doing SO the borough authori-
ties interlered and would not allow them
to be bnried within the borough limits
The bodies were then taken to field Il
short distance from town where they were
inferred, with nothing but the mound to
mark the spot.

A Very Singular circumstance occurred
near Mount holly, on last Friday. Mr..
Rawn started to the South Mountain, on
the morning of that day, with two horses
and wagon to bring a load Of wood not
returning in the evening, his brother and
some others started in search of him, fearing
that he had met with some accident. and
was unable to return. On arriving at the
place they found the horses unhitched
and tied to the wagon, the tree cut down,
and the axe laid on the hounds Of the
wagon, but no traces were found Of the
driver. The woods were secured in all di-
rections until a late hour of the night, and
resumed early on Saturday morning. with
out success. On Saturday evening dis
patch was received by friend of the
missing man, stating that he had lost his
way in the woods and was in Waynesboro'
Franklin county on his way home. Car

NEWPORT, March 10, 1870.

Mr.. Editor The - Purim'' ball on Fri
day night in Keim's Hall was the great
sensation of this season, in Newport The
18th and 18th of March being the days
upon which the Jews celebrate the Feast of
Purim, our young citizens, although notall
Jews, concluded to celebrate the occasion
by social hop on that evening. Being an
invited guest, your correspondent had the
extreme pleasure of being present, and ell
,joying the sweet music by "Zilloff's Band"
led by a young gentleman of our borough,
of much musical ability, and whose smiling
countenance alwas puts us in mind of full
moon on II "bender." The beauty and
elite of the place were present i'll force, but
Mr.. G.. Il, with his lavender kids, could
not be seen, his place, however, was well
filled, by the gent with the huge but ele-
CANT " Napoleonc moustache.' The ''Mer-
chant from Venice looked bold but ele-
giant in his blue Chesterfield, with brass
buttons, and his commanding voice. as he
called the figures rang like the clarion
notes of some lone night guardian upon
the streets of Lancaster on cold, frosty
night. The warrior from Howe township,
looked his best, also, as in fact, did all the
gents
But the ladies How can we describe them.
How can any one do justice to their elegant
toilets Those graceful movements, those
smiling countenances, those y y those
II II y but we can write no more-our mind
is carried away by the remembrance of
that sight. That beautiful blonde, with
powdered hair. Oh my
"You may break, you may shatter
The vase, II you will,
But the scent of the roses
Will hang round ii STILL"
Sec that fair haired youth, with the blue
neck-tie as he lays his arm so gracefully
round her waist Don't we wish we were
fair-haircd too. Oh for blonde. Oh
for another Purim ball, and we'll win that
girl or die You bet. REPoRTER

XCOal Oil ExplOsiOns.-IIardly day pass
os without some person being injured by
the explosion of coal oil lamps. These ac-
cidents are always caused by carelessness,
or poor oil. To guard against the latter
cause is very easy, by testing the oil in the
following simple manner: Put little hot
water in vessel and then let it stand until
when tried by thermometer, it indicates a
heat of110 degrees. Then pour spoonful of
oil on the water and touch match to it, If
the oil instantly blazes, it is not safe to use,
and is of quality no person has right to
sell. Use oil that will stand this test and
fill your lamps every morning, and coal oil
is rs safe as any other light.
