THE PAIN-KILLER manufactured
by PERRY DAVIS 81 SON has won
for itself a reputation unsurpassed in
medical preparations. THE univerSah-
tn of The demand for the Pain-kiler is
novel, interesting, and surprising
feature in the history of this medicine.
The Pain-Killer is now regularly sold
in large aud steadily increasing guam
ties, not only to general agents in every
State and Territory of the Union, and
every Province in British America, but
to Buenos Ayrcs, Brazil, Uruguay,

Cuba and other West India Islands !;
to England aud Continental Europe {;
to Mozambique, Madagascar, Zanzibar
and other African lands to Australia
and Calcutta, Rangoon and other places

China, and we doubt if there is any
foreign port or any inland city in Afri-
ca or Asia, which is irequentcd by
American and European missionaries
travellers or treders, into which the
Pain-Kiler has not been introduced.
The extent Of its usefulness is anoth-

confess, for bruises, cuts, burns, &C.,
but for dysentery or cholera, or any

responsibility, testifyiug in unequivo-
cal terms to the cures effected and the
satisfactory results produced, in an

this great medicine. That the Pain

Progressive CHRIsTANITY.-Some
members of churches make it their
main business to please the Lord
l have set the Lord always before me,
said the Psalmist. They endeavor to
have their ways please the Lord, in
all things and at all times. In this
age of progressive christianity" some
churchmembers strive not only to
please the Lord, but the devil also,
not knowing into whose hands they
may fall. The follies, of what they
term the "world's people" they adopt
and mingle with their own peculiar
religiousrites, and they are as incongru-
Gus as for a young lady of twenty or
thirty years ofage to be seen carrying
doll baby. They fear the Lord but

Woodstock Railroad.

TO TIE EDITOR OF THE AGE-
The managing men of large Rail
road Corporation, the men who give
to it life and vitality, must necessarily
be much upon the Road and frequent
y at the points of its important con-
nection. If they were not, they would
be open to a just censnre. am sorry
to see, that in Their zeal for denounc-
inc the Directors of the Vermont
Central, two newspapers of this village
should deal in harsh invective and in
dulge in unjust and unworthy insinua-
tons as to the motives of worthy and
lead NC men of that road, while engag-
ed in the legitimate exercise of their
railroad duties. One of the Directors
Of the Woodstock Railroa d, who has
never had much confidence that we
should receive any substantial aid
from any railroad corporation outside
of our State, but who has had, and
still has confidence that wheneder our
road is bull, it will be built through
the active co operation of the Vermont
Central, arranged not long since to be
informed when one or more of the
leading Directors Of that road would
be at White River Junction, 50 that
he could see them. Not wishing to
compromise any one else on the sub
ject, he took upon himselfthe response
bility of meeting them. All this was
done in The interest of our people
here, and in the hope that something
might eventually be done thai would
inure to the benefit of our Road 70
pay him and Us for this, one of our
village papers comes out in a denunci-
atory article upon this gentleman,
upon Gov Smith, and other managers
Of the Central Road styles Gov
Smith "a thief talks about cor
rupt Railroad Ring, and otherwise in
dulgcs in low and abusive language
toward prominent railroad men, whom
the people of our State have heretofore
honored, and will again. Now sir, to
say nothing about the bad taste of
such an etfllsion, | cannot regard the
publication of such articles in any other
light, than as being highly injurious to
the interest of our Road, and deserv-
inc of the severest censure.
Horace Fairbanks, ofSt. Johnsbury,
is one Of the most worthy citizens of
our State he also met some of the
Vermont Central Directors in the in
terest Of the Vermont Division of the
Portland S Qgdensburg Railroad, at
White River Junction, thereupon our
village paper throws more mud, and
the motives of all these worthy men
are grossly assailed, and in language
unbecoming a gentleman-the Ian
guage of partisan warfare and abuse.
| will no longer tresDass on your
columns much more is called for, and
should be published through your
paper, and Ihope you will follow it up.
The two papers alluded to in this
article will be very poweress in in
tlicting any permanent injury upon
the Vermont Central, but | am not so
sure but what the course. they are
pursuing may work seriously to the
detriment Of our Road. by estranging
from us body of men whose friend
ship and financial strength are now,
and will be of the greatest material
advantage to us. viii not the candid
men of this valley frankly consider
this. G. p. Nj.

recently, had any camping ground within this
reservation But last year, when prospectors
began to bring accounts of the fabulous wealth
Of the region the tribes focked in and asserted
their claims. Then government required the
white settlers to leave. OF these there were

claims, or being owners of vast herds and fine
farms. They made Representations to the
President and the execution of the order was

and attracted considerable attention.
The altitude of the valley is from 5000 to
1000 feet Mexican corn, potatoes, oats, wheat
and beans are the principal crops. The more
available parts have been taken up by the
Mexican population with their vast herds of
sheep and cattle. Timber is abundant on the
Rio Grande and tributaries above Del Norte,
and pinon and cedar cover the surrounding
hills; while along the river bottoms below are
cottonwood and willow. The climate of this

TOntine Policies.

Gin the year 1870. at the request of policy holders
and under the advice of the actuary of the Company
at that time the trustees consented to revive. in
modern and scientific form, the old plan of>Tontne
Insurance. Policies were issued upon the express
agreement that no dividends should be paid for
tain PERIOD ten, fifteen, twenty years, and that
surrender values should be allowed; but that the
entire surplus Of the whole class of policies together
with the reserve upon such might be forfeited,
should be accumulated for that period, and the
whole amount then divided among the survivors. 1t
was believed that these accumulations would be very
large, and that the plan must prove attractive per-
sons whose vigor and habits give reasonable assur
ance of longevity.
No effort was made, however, by the Company, to
press this form of policy before the public since the
executive officers entirely satisfied of the
wisdom and equity CT the plan; and tho whole
amount assured in it upon tontine policies COM
paratively small But several cases of great hard
ships were soon forced upon the notice of the Com
pany. The plan made it obligatory upon us to for
felt every such policy absolutely and finally, if the
premiums were not paid upon certain day, and
left discretion to consider claim for asurrend
value. This experience satisfied the trustees that
the plan, in its nature is wholly outside of the prop
range of legitimate life Insurance. being little else
than a contract by which the Company binds itself
10 an wager, securing Inc stakes 20
the winner. In such wager this, the most needy
whom life assurance is especially designed to protect
are pretty sure to prove the losers. Besides, the
large accumulatons which tontine insurance gathers
in the hands of a company at the expense of those
who die, or unable to maintain their policies,
during the tontiue period, offers strong temptation
to wasteful expenditure, which if INDUCED, must
sooner or later bring disappointment to the
survivors, of those who play at tontine hazard.
For these reasons the trustees of the company have
decided to discontinue the issue Of tontne policies.
There is NO ''Mystery' or ''swindIo" about
this.
What said the Commissioner Of Massachusetts, Mr.
Sanford. about TONTINE POICEES. See Mass
achusetts Report. He says:
Zone OF the expedlenis of new compapies,-and
some fthe older companise,to get business is he
heralding of ''new features OF insurance, which
promise unhesrd Of advantages to the insured.
Many of these in fact old features,-ke the Ton
tine Plan which had their day, and passed into
disuse, before life insurance had fairly become an
established system. Almost any wonderful thing
can be done for the policy holder, ifhe is willing to
pay for it. When stripped of the specous covering
that is intended to give them currency, it will gen.
orally be found that, if The company is not getting
decidedly the best the bargain, the policy holder
would be doing much better thing for himself if he
had chosen some familiar form of policy"
