THE ANCHoR.-It gives us pleasure to
announce that the effort alluded to in our
columns two weeks since, to organize q
local board of Directors for this sterling
Life Insurance Co., in our city, has been
crowned with complete success Through
the indcfatigable exertions of the cnerget-
ic Supt. of Agencies, S B. Hewett, Esq,
the requisite number of responsible names
have been obtained, and the local direct
DRY fully organized. The following are
the names Of the gentlemen composing
the local Board Their character and
standing are guaranty of fair and hon
orable dealing with both the company
and the public:
c. d. Jones, A. Hageman, J. A. Davis,
II. s. Ames, Jas NJ. Weart, C. A. Clarke,
r. NJ Chesley, Wilson Palmer, j. E. Fish
er, and T. j. Wilson.
The ANCHOR now not only puts for
ward its intrinsic merits as bid for pub
lie confidence, but it presents the addition
al inducement for insuring with it, that
it does not drain the country Of the mon
ey received from premiums This is left
where obtained, to be loaned out by the
local board, by this means sensibly re-
stricting the draft upon our finances. We
deem the Anchor perfectly worthy of
confidence on it's merits, and certainly
regard this new feature of it's business as
giving it renewed title to the preference
OF the public.
In Mr.. Hewett, who has been mainly
instrumental in establishing the branch
here the company has an able, intelligent
and as we believe, a responsible servant,
one who will serve it and the public with
the most conscientious fidelity. The local
agents, Mcssrs Jones and Ames, are
known to this public, and it is unneces.
sary to vOuch for their reliability. See
double column advertisement on second
page.

Mrs STONES LECTURE.-The lecture
by Mrs. Fl NJ Stone, at Munsons Hall
last Monday evening, was listened to with
close and respectful attention by an audi
ence small, but composed Of the most re-
fined clements Of our society. The lee
ture was devoted to the discussion of the
general features Of the woman question,
and was characterized by earncstncss,
ability and feeling, the latter beng almost
intensified to the point of bitterness, when
speaking of the grievcous wrongs which
often fall to the lot of women. Mrs.
Stone portrayed in a manner which only
a woman can properly appreciate, the le-
gal and social disabilities imposed upon
her sex, dwelling with especial emphasis
upon those laws in some States which
deprive her the control Of her own prop
erty, and the guardianship ofher own chill
dren. She pictured with thrilling earn
estness the suffcrings, the indignities, and
sorrow, which fall to the lot Of woman in
consequence of the vices Of the opposite
sex. She maintained that the potent agen-
cy for the rghting of these wrongs and the
alienation of those sutferings lies in the
exercise of the franchise by woman, and
devoted considerable space to answering
objections to woman suffrage.
Mrs. Stone has good voice, a graceful
and dignified bearing and good command
of language, and her lecture, aside from
its intrinsic excellence, will serve good
purpose in awakening thought and dis
cussion. We regret that a larger audi
ence was not present to hear it.

Curious Facts Concering 1871.

Somebody has been bordering the
almanac, and discovered the following
remarkable facts: 1871 is to have
finy.three Sundays, "but only fifty-two
weeks" Moreover, nowhere during
the year does Sunday come oftener than
once in seven days, and the first week
of the year begins with Sunday, and
80 do all the other weeks. Lest we
should be lost in amaze at this, he cx-
plains matters by saying that the calen:
dars for 1871 and 1872 show that the
last week in 1871 begins with Sunday,
and has a Sunday following 1t.
Now, as it would be against all pre-
ce,lent to have two Sundays come in to-
gether," the year 1872 considerably
opens on Monday, and, since it is leap
wear, Sundays will occur once in seven
DAYS thereafter, an arrangement which,
this strange man says, will place Sun
dav at the end of the week instead Of
at the beginning, and thus be complete
triumph for the Seventh Day Baptlsts.
1t seems that this complication OF the
calendar is supposed to have been
planned by the Jews, who, on account
of their superior education, were en-
trusted with this revision. This is
what comes of devetipg ones giant In
tcllect to the study Of almauacs.

II we were to suggest one which, above
all other things combined, would most
contribute to the happiness Of the young
