I'd. 1t circulates its money amongst its
patrons, who are the insurers. Conse-
oaently they are continually getting the
benefit Of the rapid accumulations of the
Company, the money being invested by
the Board Of Directors amongst the in
surers. Therefore the insurers are build
ing up an institution peculiarly their own
and conducted for their benefit.
Sd. The loans of this company gre as llo-
eral as other companies who declare dlVi-
dends at the end of the second, third anG
fourth years, but this Company at the end
of the first and every year. Thereby the
insurer saves several years. interest on his
loans by insuring in this Company, and he
never loses his money il he pays up for ONE
WHOLE YEAR; whereas, in other compa-
nies, he has to remain an insurer for sew
eral years, or he loses all tue money be has
paid.

Grbe Gtrl1es, Mem BLOOMFIELD, 11a.

Not the Mana few days since informa-
ton was received by the Sheriff thata man
supposed to be Park Shepley, but calling
himself VIM. Robinson, and who answered
to the description of the fellow who COM
mitted an infamous outrage on little girl
near this borough, in the early part of last
month, was at work near MELVILLE, Cum
berland Co. A warrant for his arrest was
at once issued and placed in the hands of
Mr.. Isaac G. Black Deputy Sheriff, who
returned on Tuesday last with the prisoner,
and placed him in Jail in this borough
From the contradictory stories told by Rob
inson and his unwillingness to state where
he was during the first part of September,
the authorities were sure they had the right
man but when brought into the presence
of the child she unhesitatingly stated she
had never seen him before. The prisoner
was therefore discharged. We hope the
efforts to arrest the guilty person will yet
prove successful.

of that town that he would extract teeth
for So, and prepare the mouth for new

an operation. The new set he promised to
furnish and put in for ten dollars, on six

drawn out and engaged new ones. One
day he left, no one knows where. Two
hundred men and women without teeth in

taking the change left in the drawer over
night, and some other small articles, but
only recently has found what he thought
evidence sufficient to warrant an arrest.

gated, and he has had chance to prove
that he is innocent, which we hope he will
be able to do.

wealth of illustration it brings from the ma

in danger of hackneyed forms Of statement
is very invigorating and must win for it
not only q great popularity but very wide
usefulness. 1t will give me pleasure to

ception.

could not believe the unweleome
intelligence.
The evening before the dissolus
ton of Mrs. W., her husband, who
was almost overcome with anxiety,
watching and fatigue, laid down on
lounge in the sick room to obtain
a little rest-not 20 sleep. A queer
sort of drowsiness came over him.
He did not sleep. Ho was consci
GUS of everything Transporting in
the room. He was, for the moment,
incapable Of motion. He had no
vOlition of will. Suddenly there
appeared before him q monstrous,
tieree-looking bull, eyes blazing
fire, his mouth open, smoke issuing
from bis nose, and be was flashing
his sides with his tail 1t was q
fearfal sight. 1t was too real for
an apparition, aRd w. was appalled,.
What could he do? Makinga des-
perate effort. he sprang from the
lounge to the floor, and the same
instant the terrible brute vanished.
Observing that his sick wife was
watching his strange movements, he
inquired OF her If she had seen the
fearful sight. She had been awake
all the while, but she had seen or
heard nothing Of tie apparition
which had so startled her husband.
She told him it was all his own i'm
agination that be had worn himself
down by constant watching, and
that be needed rest and sleep; that
she did not require so much atten-
ton; and that if he did not obtain
the rest he so badly needed, he
would also be sick. At length W..
also came to the conclusion that
the thing was the fancy Of an over
wrought mind. But be could not
Danish the incident, and he was
much annoyed about it. He was
perfectly wide awake all the while,
and how could the thing have mere
| ly been in his fancy?
w. again laid down on the lounge,
and was in that position only fe "
moments when the same horrible
brute again made its appearance,
looking much more ferocius than
before, and threatened to tear him
with hoofs and horns! The huge
brute approached W., glazing in his
eyes, while the hot breath of the
animal fairly stiied him With q
| yell of terror, W. sprang from the
lounge, and the same instant, the
horrid brute disappeared AT the
same time, the stove in the room
was enveloped in sheet of flames,
which shot up against the ceiling
and w. feared that the house would
be set on fire. But the flames van
ished as suddenly as they appeared,
and there was not the smell Of fire
in the room, nor the sign of smoke
on the ceiling.
| w., who never knew fear, and bad
never prayed, now fairly trembled
with terror, and prayed to the Great
Being for protection for him and
his. From that moment w. be-
came q firm believer in hereafter,
and system of rewards and pun
ishments. He has not seen the
wonderful apparition since.

A STARTLING INCIDENT.
Wonderful Transformation of Char

acter.
From the Dayton Journal.
A most remarkable premonition
has Just come to our knowledge. 1t
is one of those st .rtIing incidents
which stagger the oreduIity, reich
ing beyond the realm of fancy, and
trench upon the supernatural. We
can only hope to give the readers of
the Journal a tolerable idea of the
affair, leaving details to the imagi-
nation:
John resides on the Hill,
in the eastern part Of the city. Ha
had for years proclaimed himself
materialist; and he took pride in
saying that he believed in nothing
that could not be recognized with
the aid of the senses. He did not
"believe in supernatural manifesto
TONS" and he utterly secuted the
idea of an existence beyond the
grave. His Sundays were mainly
spent in hunting through the fields
and forests contiguous to the city
with his dogs and gun, He was q
very Nimrod, md he had q taste for
preserving, in excellent style, the
game he secured. We note these
matters to show the reader that w.
is not q man who is easily affected
by those demonstrations which are
termed spiritual manifestations"
Some time ago his wife was taken
seriously i'll; and in order that she
should have the most careful nursing
and patient attention it we're pessi-
BILE to secure, he assisted in the du-
ties of ministering to the wants of
his sick wife, both day and night.
Despite the best medical attention
and the most loving and devoted
nursing, the wife grew worse, until
all hope of her recovery was given
up by the attending physicians,
though the afeetionate husband
