1uroRrsNr POINTS OF TUE Law.

Professor Charles j. McCurdy. LII. D.,
late Judge Of the Supreme Court OF Co ,rectl-
cut, delivered lecture upon the E. Law Of
Lie Insurance before tile Law School u
the University Of New York recently.
Many OF the legal points given, while gener-
ally misunderstood, are ot great inpOrtah CT
to al classes of c.tlzsns. Speakln5 of the
nature and effect of the epresentatiJn ms made
oy persons desiring to he insured, concerning
their health, babIts, occupations aud previous
lives, the lecture showed that perfect frank
ncss was necessary to render policy binding
ON the company by which it is issued. The
assertions ol the applicant form the bas on
which the contract Is made. They cannot,
however, be regarded as a warranty unless
made go by the terms of the policy ALI
material facts must be given in the applica-
tiUn. An oral Misrepresentation invalid4tes
a contract as much as written one. Ii
makes no difference whether false assertion
is made intentionally or uninten tionally, SO
lar as the validity of the policy is conc rDed.
Concealment OF an important TACT makes the
insurance void. The term " good health .
does not necessarily mean perfect health. but
simpY Y that no disease exists, to the knowl-
edge OF the applicant, which is likely 10

READY FOR Anything A certain doc

this vale without a row Of some kind
0nhis hands \ citizen living about twenty
ive miles from the post req Ie>ted his assis-
tance upon an interesting occasion, and the
DOCTOR rode over TO the Ianch-a wretched
hovel about eight feet high, hIt dirt roof,
and uniting plrIOr, bedroom and kitchen

At every pore, hut the doeter had the mild
assurance to ask one hundred in specie as
MS fee The poor - Cracker went into
his hovel and in short time appeared
With twenty-five dollars, which the doctor
datly refused in an angry manner. Again
the - Cracker entered his house, and his
weak spouse drew out of stocking two
or three dollars which she had carefully
boarded for rainy day. This was added
to the sum before offered hut the doctor
refused to take less than his fee and abused
the man in round terms. The - Cracker"
paused 4 moment sadly, then again enter
ing his hoyel, he quickly returned with
shot gun and rife. An iron determination
spread over his features, aud, as if he had
exhausted every other honorable means of
settlement, he thus addressed the now
alarmed physician: .' Doctor, we havn't
nary other cent in the world, but you kin
hev satisfaction! Choose your weapon"
1t is surmised that the doctor did not wait
for his fee.
