SUICIDE AND LIFE INsUHANCE-In the
United States Circuit Court, at Hartford,
for some days past, q suit has been going
on to recover from Life Insurance Com
pany of Maine, the amount of policy on
the life of Sheridan Gay, the suit being
brought by the widow. Gay shot himself
on a railway in Connecticut, in 1869, dying
from the effects of the wounl. The de-
PENDANTS, the Life Insurance Company, on
their side, alleged that he dclibcrated sui

tons in New York, and that, as the policy
exempted suicide, the plaintiff could not
recover. The plaintiff, the suicides widow,
on her side, put in plea that her husband
was insane, and presented number of
witnesses who testified to his previous
condition. The arguments were made by
the leading Hartford lawyers, and the ju-

The above is the title of twenty.
eight column Weekly Newspaper,
recently established in Frostburg,
Allegany county, Maryland.
We are aware that we have entered
crowded ficld-that the competition
for public favor, On the part of news
papers, is so notably extensive as tn
make the establishment of additional
papers matter Of grave considera-
ton. Especially so, when the nu-
merous and increasing demands of
journalism are so generally deserving
Of support.
However, we accept this fact as
not prejudicial to the establishment
of our enterprise. for we hold that
every institution, having a laudablc
object, legitimatcly conducted, has a
moral right to live; and the factor
increasing journalistic> candidates,
asking, and in all, but comparatively
a few cases, receiving popular sup
port, indicates tho prevalence of q
healthy public sentiment with re-
spect thereto. 1t is we'll known that
newspapers. in general, by assuming
prudent censorship Of public man
ncrs and a proper custodianship of
public morals, become the best con-
SENATORS of the public peace and
the most effective promoters of the
public welfare.
Recognizing in Frostburg prom
Using location, amid populous com
munity, and encouraged by tic conn-
sci of some of its citizens, we have
been induced to attempt the supply
Of long-felt want--a home paper:
We design dcvoting our best ahiE'
tiles to making it emphatically
Newspaper. st lily avoiding poll
tics, except, probably. simple state
ments of facts from both parties. our
efforts will, necessarily, be directed
to the enhancement of the general
welfare and the further development
of the immense resources of this ri,h
section. We shall particularly e.
! dcavor to make the paper snitcd to
the wants of the community by Civ
ing, as fully as possible. the LocaI
News of Town and County. We
shall not. however, neglect to keep
our readers we'll Informed upon iI.e
leading topics OF the day by publish
ing the most important Foreign, Ma
tional and State News.
In short, we are pledged to II"
party, attached to no creed and con-
troled by no faction, and by faithfully
adhcring to an independent position.
we hope to furnish paper deserving
universal support.

of Missouri, elected as an independent Re-
publican, created decided futter in the
House by a speech on amnesty, in which he
justified slavery and virtually the war on the
ground that the latter was merely revOlu-
ton. and that the rebels were no more reb-
els than eur forefathers. All the Repubii-
can members from Missouri, Messrs. Park
er and Burdett specially, assailed Blair for
his speech, and did not believe there was
another man in Missouri who would have
made such a speech.
