The West Going East.

We copy the following from one OF our
exchanges-the Buffalo Courier:
THE LIFE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA.
The Western New York department of
the Life Association Of America was or.
ganized at the Mayors Office last evening.
ForS time past an agent of the Life
Association has been canvaSsing the city,
and has procured fiity.two gentlemen to
qualify themselves as trustees by taking
out life polices to the amount Of $4,000
each. The trustees met last evening, aud
elected their officers and Directors, com.
posed OF the best men in our city.
A few days since we noticed the or.
ganization of the New York Department,
with nearly three hundred and fifty trus.
tees, so that 1t would appear as II the AS.
soclatlon was now riding on the top wave
Of prosperity. ..-
The success Of the. institution is, alter
all, not such a marvel, when we take into
account that 1t IS managed by an Execu.
tive Committee OF the best business men
Of this country that its officers are men
of rare ability and tried integrity, and that
Its Department Board of Directors in all
the chief cities Of the Union Is composed
oil men whose names are synonyms Of
financial stability in the sections in which
they reside. The name OF Richard
BulIymore, the President Of the Buffalo
Department, Is in the East held in the
same esteem as that OF the late John j.
Roe in the West.
The New York (city) board is not
equaled by the directorate of any other
life company in the country.
We congratulate the Association on lis
success in uniting the great sections Of
our country by bringing them beneath the
Ggis of its protecting institution.
"Therc is nothing so successful as sue
cess" and no company in the world has
experienced the same degree Of success as
the Life Association OF America.
AS we have explained before, this is
really a Home Life Association in each
State where it is organized; its funds be-
ing kept where they are paid in, and
loaned to parties having polices in the
Company, to others on undoubted security.
]. c. Anderson, Esqr., General Manager
OF West Virginia, organized this Associa-
ton here nearly two years ago. Many Of
our leading business men are its officers
and directors, and have been gratified Of
its unparalleled success, 1t has loaned q
great deal Of money in our city. Any one
desiring further information regarding the
Association can get II by addressing the
General Manager, or Mr.. J. W. Ferrel
District Agent, at No. 100 Market street
Wheeling, who will receive applications
for money or insurance.

On TIE RAMAGE AGAIN.-It has been
but few weeks since we chronicled the
fact of George Giles wife, and his sor
Caspar being arraigned before Esqr. Gil.

Ault. The case was disposed of properly
and it was hoped there would be no further
trouble in that quarter.
Saturday morning the same parties were
brought before the same Justice for pre-.
cisely similar offence committed upon the
same individual. This time, it is said,
the Cillescs had so eifectually battered
Ault that he could not appear and testify
against them. The examination was there
fore postponed until next Saturday morn.

MEMPHIS.

MEMPHIS, December 30.-A steady
rain fell during last night, which has
soltened the ice, causing large quantities
to slough off and sink. The danger 10
the boats IN port is greatly lessencd. II
is now probable that the ice in the bend
above them will all go at once. The
river is rising steadily. The floating ice
IS diminishing rapidly.
The Legal Tender, from New Orleans.
arrived last night, and the Belle Lee this
morning. The officers report having pass.
ed the following steamers, which were in
safe quarters. The Cheek at Helena,
Phil Allin at Island Sixty, Bismarck at
Pope's Landing, and Jennie Howell at
Ashley's. The latter and Bismarck were
preparing 10 come on up. The Belle
Lee met q large number OF Brown &

wife and child from the dredgeboSt at
the mouth OF the ST. Francis river, where
1t had drifted from this city.
The residence Of ]. F. Mckinney, at
Sanders, was burned last night with the
entire contents. Loss, $1,000; uninsured.
MEMPHIS, December 30-About eight
o'clock large portion Of the ice above
Jefferson street broke away, carrying of
the cabin OF the Belle Of Pike, and al the
foot Of Monroe street struck the P. W.
Strader, causing her 10 list so badly that
1t was feared she would capsize, but the
ice soon passed and she rlghted again.
She has !, $50 bales Of cotton on board.
At eleven o'clock tonight to weather Is
clear, with soft stiff breeze from the
southeast There is but little ice running.
