LIFE INSURANCE.

The Failure of the Farmers and Mocha uIcs'
UompRny-Neoessary Amendment of our In
sufance LAWS.
The N. Y. Post of last evening says edito-
rally
A contract has been made between the re-
ceiver of the Farmers and Mechanics Life
Insurance Company, acting as trustee for the
policy holders, and the Empire Mutual Life In
surance Company, of this city, by which the
latter assumes all the liabilities of the former
including claims for policies already matured
by death. This contract we are assured, has
been made under the direction of the Supreme
Court and has already been approved by the
State Superintendent of Insurance; so that, in
the judgment of this officer, all the policy
holders of the company are doubtless secured.
The reinsurance of these risks has been ac-
complished with promptness. 1t will not, in
deed, prevent losses Doubtless a great num-
ber of policies have already been permitted to
lapse since discredit was first thrown on the
Farmers and Mechanics Company. Few men
will continue to pay premiums in order to main
tain their claims against an association which
is eonfessedy bankrupt. 1t is probably this
dimnution of the number of policies, by for
feiture, that alone justifes "the Empire" Com
pany in reinsuring the risks that remain
An amendment Of our insurance laws Is to
be desired, so that hereafter, when life insur-
ance company's reserve begins to be imperilled,
the Superintendent may be authorized to COM
pei that company to reinsure its risks at once,
in some Office to be approved by him, without
the delay or expense of receivership, and
without such legal proceedings as will make
q panic among the polcy-holders.

there are many beauties added 10 those already
developed, and which require the microscope for
their unfolding, so in human character, when the
higher tests are applied co It, there are often excel
lencies unfolded which eyon excel those which
have secured our admiration. Thus It was with Mr.
Richings. Engaged through lsng life In profess
sion in which some have thought it was next to i'm
possible there should be a maintenance OF the
higher characteristics OF our nature, he beautifully
showed how truthfully he spoke who said,
Honor and shame from condition rise.
Act we'll JOur part, for there all honor lies"
BY his manly, un1nching course OF rectitude
through the whole OF his professional life, he cha-
enged the world to find q stain upon his character,
and proved that the profession OF his choice pre-
sented no necessary obstacle to the exercise Of
high moral excellence. But It was when
the high test Of spiritual experience applied to
MIR. RichiBgs that it was seen in addition to the
wel-known eXcellencies OF his moral character, he
that beauty OF holiness essential to
safety for without it "no man can see the Lord"
Among the many valuable traits Of his character 1t
this that peculiarly attracted the attention OF
the present writer. His regular attendance at
church, his devotion during the services, his con-
stant readiness to give OF hs labor and substance
for the extension OF Chrsts Kingdom, and then his
peace and quiet trust In his Saviour, added to the
spirit of prayer, which characterized his last sick
ness, all tend to show that he was one OF Christs
redeemed hildren, and that his family, his friends
and the Church have met with no ordinary loss in
his removal and 1t s though mOurnful, yet pleas
ing task to offer this tribute to his memory by
HIS PASTOR. 4

A CRUEL FARMER.
Outrage Upon Small Boys.


A farmer at Johnsonburg, Warren county,
New Jersey, last week came to Phillipsburg
with a sleigh-load of apples. After he had dis
posed of his apples, he invited all the small
boys that he saw to get into his sleigh, telling
them that he would give them sleigh-ride and
bring them right back. He succeeded in getting
in his sleigh nine boys, whose ages ranged from
eight to ten years, and took them as far as Rox-
burg, distance of twelve miles. Here he told
them to get out and go into hotel and warm
themselves They did so, thinking that he in
had they got into the hotel than the farmer
whipped up his horses and left the boys to walk
home. They started on their journey through
the deep snow, and succeeded for awhile to get
along finely, but two of the smallest boys
became very tired and nearly frozen, and when
within sight of Harmony, they could go no fur
ther, and sank down into.the snow. The others,
seeing their condition, went TO hotel in Har-
mony and got some men to go back after the
two boys; when the men reached them they
were found asleep and frozen nearly to death.

"A dose OF PLANTATION BrTTERs, taken night and

where the greater portion Of the population OF

escaped the scourge. AS a remedy after an attack

OBITUARY.

"The memory of the just is blessed"
How often is it remarked that we do not fully esti
mate the value OF true excellence until it is removed
from us 1t is then that memory recalls many
virtue that was hidden from by the modesty OF It's
possessor, OF which we failed to notice among
the many kindred developments with which
we were so constantly brought in
contact These thoughts were sug-
gested by the recent demise OF Mr.. Peter
Richings- Puget, who departed this life January 49,
at his farm, near Media, Delaware county, Pa.
The various sketches OF his life and character that
have appeared IN the public prints have, by their
truthfulness done honor to the departed and those
who prepared them. Itwould, therefore, seem almost
supernuous TO add anything 10 what has
been alread written. But as, In the natural world.

COOLIE LABOR.
How the AborIajnes are Taken INA Guam
Island as n Land of Promise.

How the Aborlaines are Caken INA Guano
Island as n Land of Promise.
A sailor writes to the Troy Times that the
hardest part of the work at the Chincha Islands
is done by the coolies, who are Induced by
false representations to enter the service. They
imagine that they are going to '1and of pro-
mise," and they agree to serve five years in
order to pay for their passage. But they are
doomed to grieVous disappointment, and find
themselves prisoners on the islands, where few
ever survive the specified apprenticeship. They
labor about six hours day, which is a severe
task in so hot place. But little care is taken
of them.
They are fed on fish and other cheap food, and
live in little cabins. To make them work they
are supplied with strong drink which hastens
their end, and when they die they are buried
among the guano, which soon consumes the
bodies and transforms them to its own nature.
The guano is put into sacks and is sent down
from the heights in long ''chures" made of
timber, and when 1t arrives q bag will be put on
the head of a coolie, who will carry it to the
boat 1t is thus taken to the ship, which will be
loaded in week. The coolies, in addition to
whisky, consume a great deal of opium, which
is brought there for their use. They smoke
rather than chew it. and most of them are opium
smokers-a habit which few ever break off, and
which is in the highest degree destructive.

HARVARD COLLEGE EXEMPTION.
An Imnor,nnt md In,er.ntInr Dsclsinn.

An Important and Interesting Decision.
The Boston Journal gives the particulars of
the case which was decided In the Massachu
sets Supreme Court few days ago, as reported
by telegraph, in which the parties interested
were the president and fellows of Harvard Col
lege on the one side and the Board of Alder
men of Boston on the other. The president aud
fellows of Harvard College had petitoned for a
writ of certiOrdri.
The facts are that the petitioners are owners
of the estate No. 112 Washington street, run
ming back to Devonshire street, which was de-
vised to them by Henry Webb, who died in
1860. The provision in the will is as follows: -
'1tem.-I give and bequesth unto Harvard Col
lege, next and Immediately after my decease, my
Phillips, and was the late house OF Samuel Ohver,
deceased with such deed or deeds that concern the
same; and the yearly rent whereof TO be improved
after the due and necessary repairs thereof are pro-
vded for to be forever, either for the maintenance
OF some poor scholars or otherwise, for the best
good of the college and appreciation OF the over
seers, OF my Will"
In the act Incorporating Harvard College,
passed at the General Court ia 1850, it is among
other things provided, that all not exceeding
the value of five hundred pounds per annum
shall from henceforth be freed from all civil
impositions, taxes and rates"
For long time after this the income from
such source did not exceed that amount per an
mum. On the 11th OF April, 1858, the Board of
Aldermen passed an order for the widening of
Devonshire street, and it was widened, taking
portion of these premises, and an assessment
laid upon the whole estate OF S454l'4O Tor the
beneht which accrued to the estate. 1t is
claimed tnat this assessment is erroneous aud
unlawful, because, under the act above, the
estate is freed from all civil mpositions, taxes,
and rates and no tax was ever assessed upon
the estate nor any ever paid. The respondents
claim that the value of the estate is much above
five hundred pounds per annum, and that the
charter OF the college does not exempt it from
payment.
The maiu question was whether this was "a
civil imposition" The case was heard, and
the Court made the folio decisions; :,
Second, the exemption is applicable to the
estate upon which the assessment was laid
and notwithstanding the increase in the value
OF their estate beyond the amount of that trust.

PAINFUL OCCURRENCE.
A Raha Smot bered TO Death by It's Parents
sad TerminatiOn of sleigh Ride.

Babe SmOihered TO Death by its Parents
sad EerminRtiOn of a sleigh Ride.
On Friday evening last a babe whose parents
reside near Irwin's Station, Westmoreland
county Pa, was smothered TO death under the
most distressing circumstances. The father and
mother, it appears, accompanied by their child,
aged about two months, started fora sleigh ride,
with the intention of visiting a friend residing
few miles distant from their own home. The
little thing had been bundled up in the most
careful manner to protect II from the cold. The
parents left home in the highest spirits, and. as
The sleighing was excellent, the ride was an eX-
ceedingly pleasant one.
The weather was cold, however, and fearing
that the child might take cold, the mother
thought she would not remove the wrappings
until she reached their destination. When they
arrived at the house the child was carried in,
and when the wTappings were taken off the
mother was horrifed by the sight which pre-
eented itself. The child was quite dead.
although the body was quite warm and the
face was discolored, showing that 1t had been
smothered The grief of the parents was over

In selecting parts to please himself, Mr.. Fech-

Cesar, whatever its merits as play, and how

perfectly familiar to play-goers in general, and
Mr.. Fechter made no more nor less than many
