THE rapid flight of time, in its onward. never
ceaselesS progress to the great goal of eternity
has once more brought about that season of the
year when the putting up of stoves, and the
consequent indulgence in CuSS words of q modi-
fed character, become necessities not to be
avoided, and hence George Huntley should just
occupy a more than usually prominent
place in the consideration of his fellow citizens,
inasmuch as stoves, stove pipe, hardware, and
many other things particularly useful at this
season, arc what he deals in and deals out at
fair and honest prices.

FATAL AccrDENT.-On Thursday afternoon
last, David Baker, brakeman on freight
train, was instantly killed in the yard in this
city. He was in the act of appl wing the brake
when the chain parted, and he was precipitated
between the cars upon the track. One wheel
passed over+the upper part of his head, crushing
it in horrible manner. The unfortunate man
was a resident of New Florence, faithful en-
poyee, and leaves family to mourn his
timely end
On Friday evening last, Barney Mooney
employed on the trench work of the new Wa
ter works. was struck by the Mail Train west
near Mill Run dump, and instantly killed. His
remains were brought to this city, and placed
in the Company's Morgue, from whence they
were inferred on Saturday. Of his place of
residence we have no knowledge. He was in
the Lookup in this city the night previous

SABBATH School CoNoERr.-We must say
that were exceedingly we'll pleased with
the concert and exhibition at the Congregation
al church OIL Wednesday night last. Big and
little performed their respective parts admira-
bly, and the singing and music was indeed ex
cellent, the selections being very good, though
less lively for the most part than amusement
seekers generally appreciate We never saw
so many children together at one time who
were better trained in their several parts or
who sang so well in CHORUS and their pastor,
Rev. Jones, and precepter. Mr.. Cuttings, have
reason to be proud of their ccomplishments
We think the entertainment will bear repeti
tion with slight change in programme, and
hope, if repeated, that it will be greeted by an
audience fully as large on w Weduesday even
ing, which was indeed very gratifying one.

SAD AcctDEST-A Boy Skull Broken
About one o'clock yesterday an acct
dent occurred at Hamilton's foundry, in
the Sixth Ward, that may cost a little
boy, about four years old, named Frank
Kemp, his life. 1t appears that the
moulders in the foundry have often
been annoyed by boys throwing hands
fall of gravel on the moulds after they
are made ready for the reception of the
metal, compelling the men to do extra
work in picking out the stones thus
thrown. Yesterday number Of boys
were standing around the doors Of the
foundry watching the men preparing
the moulds, when one OF them threw a
handful of gravel. To frighten them
of, one OF the workmen, named James
Fleming caught up something, whether
a hammer, q stick, piece Of iron, or
stone, no one seems to know, and threw
it towards the house with the view of
frightening the boys off. Unfortunately
the missile struck the doorpost and flew
off, striking the little Kemp boy, who
was standing in the door, in the centre
of the forehead, breaking his skull.
The how was taken To his home. next
door to the foundry, and medical aid
procured. Six pieces of the broken bone
were taken from the wound.
Fleming, Mortified at the accident,
buried up town and surrendered him
self 10 sheriff. Brown. Without
warrant the Sheriff could not hold him,
and he went to Squire Clohans office
where a warrant was issued and he
placed under arrest. Though it is er
tain that the unfortunate occurrence
was the result of an accident it was
deemed best to let the grand jury in
vestigate the matter, and Fleming was
held in the sum Of $500 TO answer be-
fore the Circuit Court.
The little sufferer was very comforta-
BILE last night. 1t is toss-up, though,
his recovering from so severe an acct
dent.

boundary line between Webster and
Union townships, for school purposes,
from the present township line, in the
centre Of Second street to the north
side Of First street for the purpose of
equalizing the number Of primary schol-

the necessity for the erection OF an
addition to Webster township school
house Two of the Commissioners of
Webster live in Centre township as the

lSSCRANCE.-AS JOurudiiStS IL 10 lue
duty of the editors of our daily news
papers to enlighten the public upon
every important question so far as they
are able. The business Of Insurance,
both as to Fire and Life Insurance, has
assumed very formidable proportions,
not only in our own community, but
throughout the country generally
Many persons are inclined to the
opinion that it is a game OF chance,
carried on by reckless and interruptions
parties for their own benefit. This, if
properly considered, is, to say the least
Of it, absurd. Insurance companies
properly managed by careful, judicious
and well-trained officers, have always
been known to carry on business and
benefit the people generally wherever
they appear. Many business men have
been saved from utter ruin by careful
insurance in safe and reliable compa-
MES. The great desideratum is to have
experienced officers. who have made it
a study for years, just as any other bus
mess requires, that they may know how,
when and where and whom to insure.
1t is no childs play for a secretary OF
an insurance company to keep from
impositions attempted to be practiced
by designing men, and to know when a
risk assumed by his company pays the
proper premium for the hazard run.
Many insurance companies have gone
by the board by reason of the inefficient
management Of directors and officers.
We have the satisfaction of presenting
to our readers a notice showing that
one company in our midst is conducted
upon the correct basis, and is on the
high road to prosperity and sue
cess, and we feel confident Of
approval when we say that it is
by virtue OF the able management,
both of officers and Directors. The
Secretary Of the Company, 1--WE mean
the Peabody, of this city, is known
amongst us, by all our business men, as
one whose perfect knowledge Of the in
surance business, both as to his ability
and experience Of years, has brought
his company up to the highest stand
ard. n. C. Arthur has been long
enough resident Of this city and is old
enough in the insurance business TO
place the Peabody Insurance Company
before the community as a perfect sue
cess. Her losses have been fairly and
promptly paid and dividends regularly
declared, making an investment in her
stock paying one. Under his able
the Peabody, from the day
it started, has increased in it's business,
its hold upon the confidence OF the peo-
pie and in the extent of territory over
which its good influences have extend
ed. By the advertisement in another
column it viii be seen that its fourth
dividend, even under the
great financial pressure from which the
country mas been suffering and the
heavy losses which have fallen on in
surance companies during the past year,
is the regular and usual dividend of
this Company, ten per cent. There are
but few companies in the country that
can make such showing of continued
prosperity as the Peabody.
