BuRRAIL's CoRNER.-Among the

most prominent points at Virginia is
Burrall's new book, stationery and
fancy goods store, In the large brick
building of Black 4 Brothers, corner
ofC and Taylor streets. He has just
completed q large and handsome new
show window, and his extensive stock
of goods in the interior are very taste
fully arranged. Burrall's Is we'll wor-
thy a visit, just merely to look, if not
to buy.
LIyE INsuRANcE.-The Alta Of yes
terday says: "The Telegraph states
that the Manhattan Life Insurance
Company will pay $1,000 on the 500
900 policy held by the late Judge
Baldwin, but which was forfeited by
non-payment of premium. 1t is Il
question how far parties insured may
not run the risk of forfeiture by taking
80 days. credit on premiums. 1t is
better to pay promptly cash."
PLAYED OUT.-Not having heard Of
any earthquake shocks for a week or
two, we presume they, like the small
pox, are entirely played out. They
had q very good and sensational run
while they lasted. Their principal
doings were in the night when the evil
deeds of men are said to be principally
performed. Ills well. Few care to
have them more than once q month.
