THE NEW ENGLAND MUTUAL
LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
or EostOn.
READ VIVIAN OTHERS SAY OF US!

From the Spectator Of New York City we extract rs fol-
lows 80" The New England Mutual stands forth as a fitting
type of what a company should be in regard to its method Of
business. Seeking rather to establish a reputation or stability
and soundness, than to present novel and promising, but I'M
tried and unapproved features in underwriting conducting all
the company's affairs with the strictest economy and adopting
only those measures proved by experience to be the Wlsest'
the directors of the company have succeeded in establishing
for it a reputation for reliability second to no other similar or
ganization in the country. Yet, great as is the degree OF
caution manifested in the adoption of every new measure, the
company is conducted in II manner fully in unison with the
progressive spirit of the age AS regards its dealings with
policy holders, few companies are more liberal and honest"
The business of the New England Mutual is conducted in
the most economical and able manner its terms are liberal
and just its success has been uniform and extended aud its
perfect reliability and safety, the natural consequences at
tendant upon the possession of such features, and which should
be the great desidratum with an insurance company, are an no
instance erceHed"

POLICE CoURT.-On Thursday and Friday, the
principal business before the Police Court was the
case of the Crown Us. j. d. Peavey, arrested for
selling spirituous liquors without a license. The
charge was brought under Chapter Al, Section 20 Of
the Revised Penal Code, which reads as follows:
San person violating the provisions Of this
Chapter by vending spirituous liquors without hav-
ing previously obtained a license as hereinbefore
provided, shall, on conviction, forfeit and pay to the
Hawaiian Government, for each offense, the sum Of
five hundred dollars, and may be imprisoned at hard
labor not exceeding six months, in the discretion Of
the Court" y
The charge in the first place, was for selling on
Sunday night, and subsequently the new charge was
made Of selling on the three preceding nights-or
days-so that it will be seen, that IL the party com
planned Of is found guilty Of " each ofense 4" charged,
namely selling on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. he must be mucted in the sum Of $1,000.
or be imprisoned at hard labor for twenty-four
months, if the Court 30 DEGREES. A good deal Of
testimony was adduced by the Crown TO prove the
charges. Several seamen belonging 10 a ship In
port, testified to having drank something Mt Peavey'e
house, but did not know what il was, and did not
see any money paid for il. But one, the principal
witness for the prosecution, stated that he had, on
the four occasions mentioned, bought 8" pale brandy -
from Peavey, and paid Is cents q glass for il, treat
ing the previous witnesses. He stated further, on
cross-examination, that his occupation was that Of n
Custom-house guard ; that he had been for two years
a detective policeman in Melbourne that he bad

breathing and life had not entirely left
his body, but Mr. Alexander saw that
within few hours at the most he who
but ten minutes before had been strong
man would be lifeless corpse. Assist
ance soon arrived and Mr.. Vanderhenden
was conveyed to the house in which he was
born. He died in about two hours after.
Horace Hurniston, neighbor, has been
arrested for the preparation of this cold
bIooded murder.
On Monday the murdered man ex-
changed, through S. k. Stowe q Son,
S.. 900 in railroad bends for those bearing
higher rate of interest. These bonds he
desired the elder Mr.. Stowe to retain for
the purpose OF registration, but that gen.
tleman declined the trust Mr.. Wander
heyden then said he would take them
home but Mr.. Stowe warned him against
doing this, and suggested to him that he
deposit them in the Troy City Savings
Bank. The suggestion was needed; but
it is believed that Mr.. V.'was followed by
some person who supposed that he had re-
tanned them. On the same day Mr.. V.
drew $4,000 out of one of the banks, and
placed them in the safe. This money and
the bonds, together with what other valu-
ables were in the safe, undoubtedly
prompted the terrible deed.

Nor WAsHBURNE BUT BALLARD.-A
later intelligence from Van Dieman's
land, says that Samuel Washburn, that
supposed victim of thirty-two years exile,
arrived at Fort Edward on the 10Th inst,
and reported himself direct from Van Die
mans Land. Notice of his return was
spread through the place, and he was not
long in collecting considerable sum Of
money from those that were not acquaint-
ed with men and things about there
thirty years ago. Edward Washburn was
notified of this supposed addition to the
Washburn family, but his keen eye soon
discovered in the stranger-not a Wash
burn, but one Ballard of Warren county,
who in company with Dick Moore and
one Rice figured largely and were badly
mixed up with a gang of counterfeiters
some twenty years ago. They were ar
rested and lodged in Lake George Jail.
Moore took his own life in Jail, Rice and
Ballard escaped justice by some cause,
and now Ballard is playing the part of an
imposter.

SOAP STONE RooFs.---Some time ago,
attention was called to the new process
of roofing by composition of Soapstone
and other materials which is being re-
ceived by the public with great favor.
The former notice was prepared by gen.
tlenan thoroughly competent to Judge of
its nature, from an experienced and sci
entific stand, our then associate, Mr.. Ha-
gar. He tested it in all forms and became
fully satisfied of its practical value:
"Prof. Hagar, State Geologist of Yer
mont, thus speaks of it in the Rutland
HERALD: Some weeks since we heard of
another new material that was being
used for roofing, but was of the opinion.
that like its predecessors, it would prove
OF no value to any one except the persons
who sold rights for its use. But we took
occasion to examine it and ascertain what
1T was composed of, and we found the
materials entering into the composition
some OF the most indestructable in nature.
1t is a curious compound, being neither
affected materially by heat or cold In
an examination which we made on a ROOT
made Of it on the residence of Newton
Kellogg, Esq, OF this place we found it SO
soft that we could indent it with
our finger nails, and yet it was
not sticky. We took some of the
compound and put it into a stove
and subjected it TO strong heat, but it
would not run in the least. We also took
some and put upon the coal stove in the
HERALD Office, and now after it has been
heated for days. it retains its elasticity

TEACHERS INSTITUTES 1t will be re-
collected that while the Teachers Ins j.
tute was in session in this town short
time ago, Mr.. Johonnot gave public lee
ture one evening, the tenor of which was
the advocacy of Woman's Rights. The
lecture was displeasing to the great body
of his hearers for this reason, if for no
other, that in the view of any candid
mind such lecture delivered on such an
occasion must be in direct violation of the
spirit and intent of the Institution. 1t
was an abuse of confidence to get people
together under the expectation ofihearing
discussion of things pertaining to edu-
cation, and then to drench them with a
flow of talk, the aim of which was to adj
vocate female suffrage. But Mr.. Johon-
not after all may not have been SO much
to blame in the case. If we
are correctly informed he acted in this
matter under the advice of Mr.. Ross, one
of the Board of Education for this State.
This Mr.. Ross was likewise member of
the last Council of Censors, and took de-
cided grounds in that body in favor OF
female suffrage. 1t is privilege he en-
joys with the rest of us to think as he
pleases on matters of public concern, but
he has no right by virtue of his being a
member of the Board of Education to
turn the Teachers Institute into ma.
chine for grinding out and disseminating
his favorite notions on any political topic.
1t is cheating the public. 1t is stealing
into the folds unawares, and taking such
unfair advantage of circumstances as q
manly mind should scorn. We respect
fully submit that if this is Mr.. Ross way
of managing his trust he ought to be
dropped from the Board Woodstock

and is not much, if any, different from
what it was when we commenced the ex-
pertinent upon it. We said it was
not sticky, and yet it win adhere firmly
to wood, slate or brick. We took thin
shaving of this material attached to wood,
and laid it upon the stove, but after sew
eral days exposure to heat, the material
firmly adhered to the wood shaving. We
also attempted to remove some of this
from brick work on Mr.. Kellogg's house,
and, did so, but the brick came off with
the roofing material. 1t is wholly i'm
pervious to water. We think it superior
to any thing we ever saw for roofing pur-
poses. The roof upon which this mate.
rial is placed is very fiat slate roof Mr..
Kellogg informs us that it leaked badly,
but this roofing had not only stopped the
leaks, but added to the warmth of his
dwelling by completely stopping all air.
holes that formerly existed in his slate
roof. Consider it one of the most valu-
able discoveries yet made"
In addition to this, recommendations
have been given of its trial and practic-
ability by our fellow townsmen, Newton
Kellogg, Esq, Messrs. Allen 81 Higgins,
Col. James M. Putnam and Judson N.
Howard We call attention to this roof
ing, believing that we do substantial
service to the community in so doing, that
parties erecting new buildings or repairing
roofs may examine it for themselves Mr..
B. N. Lampman of Rutland, will be ready
to answer inquiries by letter in reference
to, or show it to any parties who may call
upon him.

SHoREHAM.-Reuben Smith IL Son OF
Shoreham, have one of the pleasantest
and, no doubt, richest farms in the State.
1t consists of about 200 acres, and lies one
mile east from Lake Champlain, nearly
equi-distant from the north and south
lines of the town. They give especial at
tention to dairying, and formerly have
made their own cheese, which was SO
much in demand that they sold it mostly
in the home market A cheese factory
will be erected and put in operation near,
early in the spring, which will relieve
them of much of their labor. They now
keep % cows, valued at from $50 to 800
each. The residence is located in beauti-
full spot at the crossing of roads going
north and south, and east and west, and
of course their hospitality is frequently
tested, and as we can testify, not found
wanting.

LEICEsTER.--Albert E. Stanley lee
tured at the brick church, in Leicester,
Friday evening, March 18th. Subject
''The Peculiarities of the American Peo-
pie, their Weakness and their Strength. .
There was very large and attentive au-
dience which he held in breathless still
ness about an hour. Mr.. Stanley is a
young man of talent. 1t was his first lee
ture, and it more than equaled the raised
expectations of his numerous friends.
His style of language and depth OF
thought were sure indication that the
speaker possessed an even, well balanced
and highly cultivated mind. With few
such young men in our midst, there
wsuld be no occasion to go out of Addi-
son county for lecturers. So says cor
respondent of the Register.
During the severe gale and storm Of
last week, large barn belonging to
Frank Ranno of Leicester was unroofed,
and also Hiram Capron's woodshed.
