The Tontine Plan of Life In
SUFanCS.

Under the Tontine plan of insur-
ance, the surplus premiums paid in by
the insured are withheld for ten, fiji
teen or twenty years, and then divid-
ed among the surviving members,
while to the heirs of those who have
died during the interim, the face of
the policy only is paid.
The result to those who live and
continue is quite satisfactory as a per-
mancnt Investment, aside from the
value of the insurance enjoyed during
the time. The face of the polly for
the first twenty years being greatly in
excess of the total amount of all pre-
miums paid, therefore in case of death
during that time the representatives
of the insured cannot, with equity,
complain, though no dividends are
paid to them in addition to the face of
the policy, while the amount accumu-
lated to those who prove good risks
and continue will equal a irst-class
investment, TO: the payment of which,
as is well known, the company is by
law required to maintain adequate
ffrst-class security.
To illustrate, viz:
Ordinary life policy, age forty,
amount $4,000, annual premium 1913.
At the end of fifteen years the poll
cy holder may retire and take a paid
up policy of $4,000, and receive an
annual income for life of $233 so,
equaling five per cent. on the gross
amount of all premiums paid, beside
the value of the fifteen years insurance.
Any person wanting q policy on this
plan, can have all the information nee
essary by calling at i Office.

Thu Mavoralitv.

We understand that j. ii. Foos, Esq.
intends being a candidate for Mayor
again of the Incorporated Village of
Eaton, at the ensuing Spring election,
which takes place on Monday next.
Laying all party feeling aside, and
looking at the matter as a public ben
fit, we think the citizens-o o Eaton can
do no better than re-e1ect the present
incumbent to the position he has so
bonorably, impartially AID justly fill
ed. To his energy and public spirit
edness, we are largely indebted for
our Town Hall, Steam Engine, street
Lamps, excellent side walks, and
many other public improvements that
has given our town honor and credit
abroad, and made it a pleasant and
cheerful abiding place, and we see 10
reason why any change should be
made. Some are disposed to COM
plain, and are dissatisfied at the ex-
penditure of Corporation funds, but it
has not been wasted; we have some
thing to show for it, and know that it
has not been squandered upon matters
that were of no public benefit, as has
heretofore been done by our Corporate
: Officers. There never was a Mayor
and Council that done anything to-
ward improving and beautyfying the
town until the present ones wers
elected, and for our part, we are in
favor of continuing the same energet.
&c, enterprising and Improvement
Mayor and Council.

Raw. Wa;nwr;ght,s Lecture,

The Lecture of this gentleman in
the Town Hall on Friday evening last,
on his travels in Labrador, was well
attended, and was one of the most in
teresting and entertaining we have
listened to for a long time. We have
not time OF space to review or publish
the many interesting and unique Incl
dents the speaker recounted. All
those who were not present missed a
treat.
If there is any way by which our
,gasEn Hall can be arranged that will
TsSidcr speaking more satisfactory
Goth to speaker and listners, we hope
it will be done. 1t is annoying and
g consumatc bore to the audience, the
condition that it is in now, and unless
something is done, public lectures will
be held elsewhere.

court--Trial Of Daniel Mcalvnn.

We noticed in our last the empan-
nelling of a Jury to try Dan1 McGlynn,
one of the parties charged with the
murder of Thomas S. Myers, at the
American Saloon, in Hamilton, on
Christmas v of 1870. This trial ex-
cited more interest than has any case
tried in Preble county for years.
Large numbers of witnesses were in
attendance from Hamilton during
nearly all the week, and our Hotels
did a thriving business. The Court
House from day to day was filled with
ness was called and examined in re1a-
ton to facts going to make up the
alleged conspiracy that resulted in
Myers death. We do not purpose
to give even asynopsis of the evidence.
which has already been given to the
public through the Daily press three
or four times. With the exception
that two or three of the most impor-
tant witnesses for the State were not
present, the evidence was substantially
the same as in the Mcclellan trials ;
with this difference too, that several
declarations made by Mcclellan, both
before and after the homicide, that
were admissible in his own trial, were
excluded in the trial of McGlynn, not
having been made in his hearing.
The evidence was closed on Friday
about 8 O'Clock, P. NJ The arguments
were limited by consent of Counsel,
to three hours a side, and by the Court
holding a. night session, were closed
by 10 O'Clock, p. NJ. On Saturday
morning Judge GILMORE read an elab-
crate written charge to the Jury, to
which no exceptions were taken, and
the Jurors retired to their room at 90
O'Clock. About 4 o'clock, P. NJ. they
returned a verdict, finding the defen-
dant guilty of Manslaughter. He
was put in the hands of the Sheriff,
and after his brief interval of freedom
was returned 10 his old quarters in
Jail. Notice of the fling of a motion
for a new trial was given by the de-
PENDANTS Counsel, and will be argued
on Friday morning.
The cas- of James Mcclellan, the
confederate of McGlynn, was contin-
cd on application Of defendant. Re
co~gnizanee renewed at 1920.
Henry Weber, indicted for selling
liquor to be drank on the premises.
Plead guilty. The Judge asked him
if it was his first offense.- He said ii
was. "Will it be your last ?" inquired
the Judge. "Hope SOL" said Weber.
Fined $50 and costs.
john Frazier plead not guilty. Con-
tinued. S. j. Danser-indicted for
selling liquor. Plead guilty Fined
$50 and costs, which was paid.

Fisk's Resting Place.

In all the town OF Brattleboro, says
newspaper correspondent, there is not
lovelier spot than the place where Col,
Fisk is buried The village cemetery is
on the top Of hill, sloping down on one
side to the Connecticut, on the other
catching all the glories Of sunset, as
across the churchyard grass the rays OF
the setting sun linger longest. The lot
Which Col. Fisk purchased, only few
months before his death, is one of the
pleasantest in the cemetery; it overlooks
the Connecticut, and ia evenly terraced
down the side of the hill; overhung by
trees, it is yet neither dark nor gloomy,
for the sun strikes through the boughs
all day, making Pickering shadows on
the dark soft green Of the grass, and
touching the flowers that always adorn
the spot into new freshness and bright
ness. In the centre of the lot is the
grave of the Colonel. with plain marble
slab to mark it until the monument shall
be finished. At each corner is rustic
basket filed with creeping ivy, and
bright blossoming geraniums and yer.
benas. Beside baskets, too, stand on
each side of the grave, filled like the
others. On the grave fresh flowers are
placed daily by the loving hands of his
wife, and they are not allowed to fade
before others take their place. Just at
the end Of the upper terrace, looking off
over the river and up the beautiful val
ley, are two rustic chairs, and here Mrs
Fisk spends her mornings, watching the
gardener as he arranges the flowers, and
planning new additions to the already
almost perfect spot, 1t is so quiet here,
away from all the Disc even of country
town. that one can scarcely realize what
restless spirit it is that lies here under
the green sward. in the spot where
nothing is heard but the murmur of the
river, the low twittering of the birds,
and the rustic of the wind through the
tree-tops on the hillside. The very soul
of calmness and peace broods over the
place, and tumoil and the fretfulness Of
busy living seem as far away as though
they were not. OF course many visitor;
are attracted to the spot. and scarcely
one comes to the village who does moi
make a pilgrimage to that quiet grave
overlooking the river and brooded ovel
by the mountain shadows. The lot il
surrounded by granite coping, which
will be in place in Autumn, and thu
monument is to be made by Mr.. Larkir
G. Mead, of Florence, Italy, who lie also
a Brattleboro boy, and schoolmate o
Col. Fisk. he has just sent a photo
graph of the design to Mrs. Fisk. The
base is to be large square of marble
with four life-sized figures at each corne
representing Music, Drama, the Railroad
and Steamboat Between each Of tn
figures at the side is an urn, eyquisitel,
carved, for flowers; IN front is ba
relief of Colonel Fisk at the bacl
the inscription from the centre o
the marble rises an obelisk. This monu
ment will not be completed until mex
year, and the cost will be $50, 900. IT j

An Old Time Pirate.

Captain Teach, better known as
"Blackheard," made his appearance
about 1716 off Port of Spain, Trinidad,
plundered and burnt a brig laden with
cacao, and when a Spanish brig came in
and cautiously cannonaded him at a dis
tai ce, sailed leisurely out of the Boca
Gran1e. Little would any Spanish
guarda costa trouble the soul of the val
liant Captain Teach, with his six pistols
slung in ,oandoliers down his breast,
lighted matches stuck underneath the
brim of his hat, and his famous black
beard, the terror of all the merchant
captains from Trinidad to Guinea River,
twisted into tails, and tied up with rib
bons behind his ears, How he behaved
himself for some years as "terocious
human pig like Ignatiu Loyola before
his conversion, with the one virtue OF
courage. how he would blow out the
candle in the cabin. and fire at random
into his crew. on the ground that if he
did not kill one OF them now and then
they would forget who he was y how he
would shut down the patches, and fill
the ship with the smoke of birthstone
and what not. to see how long he and bis
could endure certain place-to which
they are, some of them, too probably
gone how he had buried his money, OF
said he had, "where none but he and
Satan conld find it, and the longest liver
should take all :" how, out Of some such
tradition, Edgar Poe built up the wonder
full tale of the Gold Bug" how the
planters of certain southern states, and
even the Governor OF North Carolina
paid him blackmail, and received black.
mail from him likewise and, lastly, how
he met man as brave as he but with 4
clear conscience and a clear sense oil
duty, in the person of Mr.. Robert May
nard, first lieutenant of the " Pearl.
who found him after endless difficulties
aud fought him hand-to- hand in Obere
cock River, N Virginia, "the lieutenant
and twelve men against Blackboard AND
fourteen. till the sea was tinctured with
blood around the vessel" and how May
nard sailed into Bathtown with the CORY
head, black beard and all, hung at hi
iibboom end-all this is written--in the
books in which it is written, which neet
not be read now, however sensational
by the public.
