Secretary Boutwell, received the other day
a curious letter. The writer says he is the
father of triplets, and somebody had told him
there was fund set apart out of which was
given a bounty to parents having such run
of luck. He said he had two children be-
sides, and as his means were not large, if
there was such a fund he hoped the Secretary
would put him in the way of receiving the
benefit of it. To confirm and establish the
truth of the story, photographs of three born
at a birth, were attached to the letter. He
was informed that although some govern
ments had made such provisions for the I'M
fortunate, it had thus far escaped the attcn-
of our lawmakers.

Since the publication of the insolvency of
the Home Insurance Co, of Nec Haren, CT.
in the Boston journal of Dec 80, we are in
formed some people in this vicinity ARE
inclined to confound this Co., with the HOWE
of New YORK, though bearing the same name,
is in cry different condition financially.
By the last annual report of the n. 7. ms
Commissioner, the Home Of New York was
shown to possess on the lst day Of January
1870, clean net surplus of Sl,13S, 06S over
all liabilities including capital stock, which is
the largestnet surplus shown by any Fire ms.
Co. in either New York or Hartford.
In recent issue of the \. Y. Commercial
Pathfinder, we find the following reference to
the Home of y. Y:
''There can be no better Illustration of the
effects of good management of a Mammoth
institution like the Home Insurance Compa-
ny than the figures which are put forth, in
the last sersi-annual statement of the instltu-
ton, showing assets of yer 500 900 dollars
and an increase of their capital stock, from
81 900 600, to 81, 800, 900, which together
with a cash dividend Of five per cent. demon
strates beyond the possibility of doubt, that
the Home Insurance Company of New l ork
to-day ranks at the head of Insurance factors
in this country, and is an Institution that
possesses the confidence of the business COM
munity, and those who invest their premiums
in securing policies from this Company, will
have the satisfaction Of knowing that there
are no Companies in this country OF Europe,
which offer greater security and reliability
than the lIoME Insurance COMPANY OF New
York"

The other day, as Henry Stackpole, young
man nineteen years of age, was skating on
China Lake, he broke in near the middle of
the lake, and came very near being drowned.
He was fortunately rescued by Albert Bond,
who heard his cry of distress from his house
on the east side of the lake. He took some
boards, and after going as near to him as the
ice would admit, he laid down one of the
boards and creeping out on it pushed another
along SO that young Stackpole could get hold
of the further end By working himself back
slowly and very carefully, Mr.. Bond pulled
the young man out on to the ice, and with the
aid of a Mr.. Ward he was taken safely to the
land. He was in the water about thirty min
utes, and in his efforts to keep himself up he
tere his pants to shreds, lost one of his skates,
boots, mittens, &C., and was about exhausted
when rescued.
