WE have been shown a Statement
of Life Insurance Companies doing
business In New York State, for the
year ending December 81, 1869, com.
piled by Stephen English, of the In.
surance Times, from official returns
and from this we deduce the follow
ing very hattering condition of the
Old Reliable New York Life Insur.
ance Company: This Company was
organized in 1915, and is now 25 years
old, and i'm 1869 issued 1917 Policies

And when the age of the Company
is taken into account, all will ack-
nowledge that remarkable judgment
has been shown by the Medical Board
in its selection of risks, and much
financial ability evinced by the Trus-
tees of this Company in the invest
ment of its funds.
The ratio Of expense to income, and
Of claims paid to same, will compare
favorably with any other company,
and are much Tess on an average
than all the New York companies, as
,DeU as companies from other States
doing business in NoiO York, and as
this is no new achievement for this
staunch old Company, we consider
1t the more our duty to acquaint oui
readers and friends of the fact, in or
der that when they design insuring
their lives they may be enabled, by
patronizing the New York Life, to
get the largest obtainable, and as we
believe the largest possible advantage
for one hundred dollars expended.
Security is here offered you equal
To any, and superior to the majority

LAKEWOOD scuooL.


Last Monday evening we took a
ride out to our esteemed friend, w.
H. Rudolph's, to attend the Exibi-
ton to be given by the pupils Of Oak
wood school, conducted by Mrs. Lock
ert and Mr.. Doak. lakewood is q
beautiful grove, situated to the right
of the Port Royal Pike, just beyond
Rudolph's mill about five miles from
our city. After tea, we, In company
with Mr.. r.. and his interesting fami-
ly, repaired to the School house,
where were soon assembled some
three hundred persons, patrons and
friends of the school.
THE EXERCISES
were conducted under q neatly ar.
ranged harbor, just In front of the
house, and seats arranged i'm front OF
this for the audience, under the broad
canopy of heaven. .
THE PROGRAMME
consisted of Vocal and Instrumen.
tai music, dialogues, tableaux, come
dy, etc. We procured programme,
and intended to give detailed ac.
count Of it, but our space, at present,
prohibits. The pupils who performed
upon the piano, showed that they
had been under the teaching of one
fully competent to the task of inn
parting this elegant accomplishment.
When we state that most of Mrs.
Lockert's pupils have only taken
lessons one term, and none more than
two, to have witnessed their profci-
ency would have a,tonished some
who have been humping the piano
for much longer time.
Pompey's Grafton, was well deliv-
cred, and received with uproarious APP
plause by the audience. The carpet
Dagger also came In for a full share
of applause, and very deservedly too.
Not to particularize, everything that
was attempted, was executed in good
style.
Our particular friend, Tom. Ru-
dolph, discoursed sweet music on the
Violin, in the intervals of lowering
and raising the curtain.
THE EXAMINATION
took place last week, and we were in
formed that the pupils underwent the
severest. test, and exhibited to the
audience thorough training and a
happy faculty of imparting instruc-
ton is possessed by the teachers.
The exhibition was the closing ex-
ercise OF. the I'd session, by these
worthy and competent teachers, and
another five months term has been
agreed upon. From the many favor
able expressions from many friends
in that neighborhood we are led to
believe that the number of pupils will
be increased. The present session
closed with about 40 pupils, although
we were informed, there are several
schools within few miles of Oak
wood.
This school is situated in an excel
lent neighborhood, composed of in
telligent, Industrious, clever people,
and under the supervision of such Of
ficials, and sustained by such patrons,
it should certainly prove success.

FROM STOCKTON.

STOCKTON, January 17.-Scarcely
anything has been discussed for several
days but the question of annexation OF
the environs to the city. Tie people
are said to be almost unanimously in
favor. of it, W. s.gLEs,
One hundred and eleven tons of
wheat were shipped by sailing vessels,
and one hundred and twenty hogs by
the steamer Amador, to-day. Is
: The steamer'C Clara Crow and barge
Deadwood, chartered by Captain John
Schreck, left here early this afternoon
for up the river this Is the first steam
CT since August that has been on that
route.
The water In the San Joaquin River
is rising rapidly; parties who left the
Tuolumne River yesterday say that
river had risen four feet, and was still
rising; tho water in the various
sloughs In and around this city have
risen several inches. There i five
stern-wheel steamers in readiness to
proceed up the river, If the water keeps
at the proper hight.
The District Court was in session to-
day, Judge S. A. Booker presiding.
At the request Of the relatives OF
Edward Clifford, whose body was
found floating in the Stockton channel
OIL Saturday, no inquest has been held.
A Chinaman named Bow Coo was
robbed of $500 in Chinatown last night
by a Chinawoman !; she decampcd, 1t is
supposed, for San Francisco.
We had quite a severe frost this
morning, and during the day it was
quite cool; tonight the weather has
moderated, and it looks favorable for
rain.

A TwIsT OF THE TEIEGRAPH.-The
freaks Of the telegraph are perplexing
and sometimes amusing. Last week
the san Francisco Buiie,in had this tel
egaphic item, dated Austin, January
10th:
"District Attorney Majoribaum has
brought a suit against the Central Pa
citic Railroad" etc.
Think of our modest Henry Mayen-
baum-our Henry Maytree-eSciting
the risibilities of this coast-it has fall
ell with a comical effect upon the At
lantic q too-as the portentious
district Attorney Majoribaum

ginia dispatch, announcing the acct

called him first "Henry Sherman"
and afterwards alluded to him as
"Herman the man." The precision
of the telegraph is not to be admired;
and n careful man would hardly ask
an operator to lend him his eas.-R.

INJURED ny A Observation-Disclosures
day afternoon, ~ the Sacramento Val
lev passenger train was coming UP to
the platform ut the depot, the horses
attached to John TOomcy's hack, which
was standing alongside the track, be-
came frightened and commenced
plunging about. The driver attempted
to manage them. but did not succeed;
OH the contrary, as the train APP
preached nearer, despite his efforts
with the whip and otherwise, they
swung around and cro the track.
The engineer, seeing this action on
their part, reversed his engine and
opened the throttle, but before the
train stopped, which 1t did before
going many feet, the pilot had reached
the fractions team. One Of the horses
reared upon it, but slipped down in
simultaneously, and one of his feet get
ting caught between the ~cow-catchcr
and the track. the hOof WAS pulled
completely oil. AS Dol rs possible
the harness was removed from the
animal, and the hack, the pole of
which had been broken, and the unin-
jured horse were taken away. Toomey
claims that the railroad company Is
responsible for the damage done his
property, because he called to the en-
gincer to stop until his horses should
quiet down. The engineer, George
Gregg, who has an excellent reputation
for carefulness, declares that he did not
hear Toomey call to him, owing to the
ringing of the bell and the other noise
attending the movement Of the train,
and did not at first consider the horses
In any danger, as they were standing
some feet from the track and had the
full width of the street to turn out into
If necessary; as soon as he saw them
get on the track he did his best to stop
the train. His statement Is corrobo-
rated by a number Of witnesses.
Claiming that the railroad company
was responsible, the owner Of the In
jured horse refused to take him away
or have anything to do with him;
the company's agents intimated that 1t
was no affair of theirs, and meanwhile
the poor beast stood in the street for
nearly two hours, bleeding proflsely.
Finally, he was taken to a stable on
Seventh street, where an attempt Will
be made to save his life.-Sae. Union Of
yesserddy.

THERE Is many a road into our
hearts besides our EARS and brains.
Many q sight, and sound, and scent, of
which we have never thought ut all,
sinks into our memory and helps to
shape characters; thus children
brought up among beautiful sights and
sweet sounds will most likely show
the fruits of their musings by thought
f~ulness, affection, and noblencss of
mind, even by the expression Of the
countenance. Dwellers In cities should
remember this for their own sakes,
and that of their wives and children.
It Is well never to lose an opportunity
Of seeing anything that is beautiful.
Goethe lias said "wc should encourage
the beautiful, for the useful will take
are of ITSELF" Beauty Is Gods hand
writing, a wayside sacrament. Let us
welcome it in every. fair face, every
fair sky, or every fair flower. Let us
drink It In simply and earnestly with
all our eyes, for it Is Il charmed
draught, n cup of blessing.

says that its mission shall partly be-
can observer and photographic Of the

These dissolving views have certainly
not proven very popular thus far. The
pictures are evidently too highly col
ored.
But again, neighbor Wiegand says
the Tribune Is to be-
"A Waterman for rascality in the mines
and in public posts-a terrier till able to DO a
mastif."
That "dorg'' had better be chained at
home-as he seems too inexperienced
in his calling to be let run at large.
Ills attempt to act "the watchdog Of

several disagreeable scrapes. Besides,
he starts in badly for a fighting terrier.

In the afternoon this crazy individual
again called upon the General and In
Q1ired if his note had been received.
i'he General informed him that 1t had
been received. "Sir," said the luna
tic, ~ propose leaving your city at
once, and think you should contribute

do you assess me?" inquired the GEN
erai. II have fixed the amount at
