DIVIDEND paid policy holders, 1st April,
1869, forty per cent.
This Company has,met with success beyond
all parallel in Life Insurance, and offers to the
Southern public Home Enterprise equal to any
and surpassed by none in existence.
Commenced active operations about Nov. 1st,
1867.
Assets 18th of Sept. 1869, $780, 0OO-now
much increased.
Policies issued, 5000. ~
1t has paid for losses of $31, 900 and in every
instance waived tho ninety days time and paid
at once.
1t advises the payment of all cash premiums
because then dividends will continually decrease
each next payment until nothing will be requir-
ed, and the policy may be q source of income
but it will allow half loan on life and JOINT
life policies One-third loan on other participa-
ting policies.
1t requires no notes for loans of the part of
premiums, but endorses the loan of its policies
until absorbed by dividends or policy is payable.
It has no restriction residence or travel
All its policies are on-forfeitable and the right
of parties guaranteed on the face Of the policy,
part of the contract.
It has the following feature which no other
company gives: The late war taught many the
penalty of being separated from the Home Office
by having their part payment forfeited. ''The
Piedmont guards against this in her policies and
in event of separation from its office by any in
tervention guarantees to such all the right of
forfeiture, paid up policy, surrender value and
reinstatement as though there had been no inter
vening cause.
It's investments are made for benefit of South
ern advancement.
1t brings money to our people-keeps money
with our people Then why should they contin-
ue to impoverish themselves by sending money
off which can as easiy-as safely-as proftably
be spent at home?
The Piedmont asks all who wish to insure to
compare its rates-terms-progress with any
company, and feels confident its merits will equal
any other company.

Thursday evening. ". J. Weeks, in his

Church. 1t is said the parties were IL
Weeks's store discussing church matters.
Mr.. Cottingham had built a church and Mr..
W. was on the building committee. This
was the matter talked over and which led
to the difficulty. Angry words ensued,
when Cottingham struck Weeks with I!
stick. The latter drew pocket-knito and
stabbed Cottingham in the neck, severlng
the main artery. Cottingham survived
only fifteen minutes after being cut.
Weeks was az once arrested. Evidently the
entire affair was the effect of temporary
passion, as the gentlemen had been Oh most

TIE Bible II PCBLIC SCH5ULs-CnMING
AGlTATIoN ~ CEIcAGo.-Tbe President Of
the Chicago Board Of Education, ~. :. A.
Bryce, in his annual report, recommends
;hat Ike reading Of tie Bible be Gis@oa-
tiuuri in the public schools Of thai city r.
lie S4v-:
So far Ga the question Of the use Of the
Protestant Bible il our schools is concerned,
il must 10 conceded tia: tue weight of
argument lies with thosc who GU tie ground
q religious federation, ask Tor ita removal.
Unc CT the great central ideas Of our Go
vernuent is religious liberty. We have
grown to bc g"cat nation because here re-
ligious liberty is hest understood ard most
perfectly enjoyed. We represent in cur
people al shades Of religious opinion md
belief those q Us WHO ere ProtestQnts
would reEcnt any attempt on tho part Of the
authorities 70 require cur children TO listen
- daily Lesson from the U0uay scriptures.
Why, then, should we compel our Nomanist
neisLbor to listen 10 the version Of king
James, Or insist that the followers Of Moses
Join in the reading Of the New Testament
The division among scctarlan schools or
our public school fund, however, rests upon
! an entirely different basis. The Grgumen.
which favors tic removal oz tho Bible from
the schools opposes with equal strength the
diversion CT any portion Of the school fund
70 scc.u.iau purposes. The public are taxed
70 support ays;,n Of free scLools--to cdu-
cate Tie whole pr,plc. The spirit OF our
free institutions does not countenance the
fostering Of auy class or sect q: the expense
Of aIo.ner, CT to its exclusion. The great
&c, good of the whole must be the end in
view, and if this fails to reach the peculiar
necessities Of any individual, it Is his mis-
io2tunc, moi the tou!t Of the system. AS
Stunning that the positions above taken arc
correct in principle, would it not be best,
BIZ disseminating the use Of Gil versions OF
the Scriptures in our schools, to remove the
only tenablc ground Of opposition to their
hearty support or the pnlt Of any portion
! Of our citizens

A LEAP FOR DsATH-MIRACULoUs ESCAPE
OF WoULD-BE SUICIDE AT THE MAssA-
CECsETTs State PRIsoN.-A poor fellow
named Thomas Coync, sentenced to the
State prison Cor lie, to whose heart hope
has been for Elk years stranger, attempted
to end his earthly existence Tuesday morn
ing by making q desperate plunge, head
foi emoe, from the fourth corridor in the
south wing 10 the solid granite pavement,
nearly forty feet below. Miraculous as II
seems, be was in no way injured, and lite
rally escaped without bruise. a small
wooden stool Happened to stand on the spot
where he fell, and his body, turning in the
descent, was precipitated upon 1t, crushing
it to splinters.
The stool saved his life, for if he had
fallen upon the stone floor every bono IN
biz body must have been shattered. lie
was taken up in on unconscious condition
and carried to the hospital, where be soon
revived, ald in abort time commenced to
walk about, only complaining of a slight
lameuess in his legs. The prisoners we're
marching out in division at the time-about
: in the morning. Coyne attempted to ez-
cuse himself by saying that he slipped Oh
the edge of the corridor, but this an abso-
Lutte impossibility, as there are horizontal
iron guards every two feet on the outer
edge Of the corridor from the floor to cell
ing.
lie has been very down-spirited for some
days, and took this desperate method to rid
himself Of his despair. He is an lrishman
by birth, and has always borne q good cha:
racter in the prison. lie was q sailor, and
the crime for which he received life-sen.
tence was the murder OF u man with whom
he had some trouble, and whom he followed
here from New York for this purpose. lie

INGENUITY IN SUIC1DE.-alartin MCGUIRE,
the condemned murderer, who hung himself
in Jail at Hartford, Connecticut, last week,
displayed the utmost ingenuity and perse-
verance in his self-murder.
Iu the cell was broom, q portion Of the
handle OF which Mcclure bad cut of and
wound around one end waxed thread, such
as is used in the shoe-shop, 80 that loop
placed on it could not slip off; the other
end of the stick he had placed in hole in
the wall where brick had been taken out
for ventilation, and wedged it with pieces
of wood obtained by breaking up o water
pail, the stick when thus fastened being
perfectly firm. Then the self-murderer
had obtained quantity Of hemp, which
had been assorted in the workshop Of tue
jail, md wove it into rope, making it Sc
cure and fast by winding waxed thread
around the twists. 4 small piece Of rope
was used for u slipping moose at one end,
and ut the other loop was made big
enough TO 20 over the stick in the wall.
Though of exceedingly rough workman
ship, the continuance was skilfully put to-
gether, even to the fixing Of large knot
on one side of the moose, that strangulation
might the more easily be accomplished
Having put the moose about his neck, be
adjusted the loop to the stick In the wall,
Just below the ceiling, stood upon bucket,
and launched himself into eternity, his
feet, as he hung, nearly reaching to the
floor. Just beneath his body g loop made
of strips Of O shirt was found, and 1t /.
supposed that with this be lied his feet to.
gether, but it slipped off. The body had
every appearance Of on easy death; there
were no contortions of the facial muscles
and the limbs were as straight as if CT
ranged by some friendly hand.

RAILROAD ACcIDEST-THREE CARS JUMP
FROM HIGH BRIDGE INTO TIE RIvER.-We
learn from the Knoxville Press and Herald
that singular accident occurred to freight
train on the East Tennessee and Virginia
railroad On Saturday morning.
The train was crossing the Watauga river
at Carter's Station, twelve miles above
Jonesboro'. The river at that point is very
rapid, and the bridge, d new one, about loo
yards long, is eighty feet above the water;
The train was composed Of an engine and
seven freight cars. Through some cause
the foremost freight car ran off the track,
causing ali the other cars to run off. The
first four cars remained on the bridge, but
the other three, after running on the side
of the bridge for some distance, finally ION
off, and were precipitated into the river
eig hty feet below, dragging great portion
of the bridge into the stream.
Aid was at once procured, and every
effort made to repair the bridge and re,
cover the contents Of the three oars.
