Company being a Home Institution, it should
be preferred by citizens of the South for ma.
nv reasons. We will. however, enumerate
only two or three. =
1 The money invested in it is retained at
home, where it assists in promoting Western
and Southern trade and commerce., in build
ing up towns aud cities. in developing our
rich mineral and agricultural resources, in
building our great lines of railroad. and in
cnltivating our boundless prairics. For these
reasons Southern and Western men should
insure in it. "
Q. As it's funds are all invested where high
rates of interest prevail. it can grant insurance
cheaper and pay better dividends than any
Eastern Company. For this reason all per-
sons desiring to make a certain and safe pro-
vision for their families. should insure in it.
3. Its Local Board Of Louisiana Directors
being composed of men of high standing III
che community. is a sufficient guarantee that
widows and orphans will be protected in their
rights, when policies issued by this Company
mature by reason of death or otherwise. THIS
feature is peculiar to this compeny, (no other
institution beyond the limits of the State hav-
ing a local board,) and is, therefore, worthy
Of the highest consideration.

EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT A FUNERAL
In Newark on Thursday. at the funeral of Mrs.
NJ. F.. Rose, the young and more than ordina-
ry prepossessing fancy store keeper of Broad
street, whose demise under circumstances pc
culiar as they were melancholy. was reported
in last Tuesdays Herald, an extraordinary and
by many considered disgracefu! spectacle, was
witnessed. The anxiety among females to
view the corpse, which was laid out with a
great deal of ostentation at deceased's resi-
dence, was so great that it was found necessa-
~ TO procure the assistance OF a couple O! po-
licemen to preserve order and prevent acct
dents at the entrance and 10 the street in front
of the residence. 1t is estimated that between
the hours OF eight and half past ten o'clock in
the forenoon not less than 5000 persons,
almost entirely women, crowded in aud out of
the presence of the dead. The corpse prescn.
ted 4 beautiful appearance In an elegant cas-.
ket, robed in the ~costliest description Of ccre-
ments, in which silk, satin and lace were the
chief materials. The chamber was laden with
the choicest gifts of Flora. After the morbid
multitude Of femininity had satiated itself the
remains were removed to Grace church, where
the solemn burial service was chanted, after
which they were inferred at Mount Pleasant
cemetery. 1t was thought that deceased, being
of French extraction, was a Roman Catholic,
but it appears that before her dissolution she
became an Episcopalisp. 1t is now asserted
that the cause of all trouble between MIR. Rose
and wife was caused by a designing woman 10
the employ Of the latter, and steps will proba.
bly, be taken to investigate the matter.-N. Y.

There is much complaint a. this time in Now
York Of the extraordinary dullness OF the spring
trade. Quite Il number Of country merchants
have come in, but !hey show no disposition TO
buy any moro goods than AFRO just sutiiclen! 10
supply their immediate wants. The business
last weak dragged heavily in al departments.
The large div goods houses, which have been
locking forward to heavy saica nj fair prices,
arc somewhat di3hcartencd, and although prices
are said to have baon maintained, The quotations
we're alt ge!hcr nOmihal. Tho Baltimore Ga
zette, commenting On this state Of things, says
thuL tho merchants in The interior visit tho large
cities now more frequently than they formerly
did, and buy goods ne they want them, and not
all at one ttms: besides tho limitations Oh the
credit system cblige them t. parchaso !ptriAg-
"; and when We remainder, further, that at
the present tine, breaGstulfs and provisions
bring low prices that the cnrrenry is unequal
ly distributed, and that there is great uncer.
talnty in commercial circles, and absence OF
that confidence which infuses life and spirit in
TO sp1culative cnterpris os-al! these reasons
combined sufficiently explain why business Is
dull at New YORK, and why the merchants Of
other seaboarl cities are suffering, mora or lass,
from similar causes.
