Here then, are twelve companies of the av-
erage age of twenty years, whose entire risks,
as the result of their twenty years work, av-
srage only about $27, 100000; while in contrast,
we have the Equitable reporting for 1872 alone,
tae acquisition of new business amounting to
$520O0,O0O. Now this is certainly deserving of
eulogy. Talk of enterprise, vigor of manage
ment, progress and the like Where, in any
other business, or in any other institution
in the same line of business, can the Equita-
ble's prosperity be matched? And, if not, upon
what principle of fairness shall disinterested
outsider be forbidden to accord the highest
need of praise to company whose managers
Can make so goodly an exhibit as this?
The other features of the Equitable's state
ment are almost equally remarkable, but we
have no space now to refer to them particular
ly. We have only selected the one point
which, at the moment, occurred to us most
striking and which certainly illustrates how
firm and deep hold the company has upon
the confidence of the community. 1t only re-

belief that this confidence is entirely de-
served mar, ,dSSw1t.

alytic stroke. Senator Sprague aud his wife, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoyt, were soon by his bedside, and
Drs. Perry, Metcalf aud Clarke were called In and
did all that human science could do to relieve the
sufferer, but without avall.% Consciousness never

For the Gazette

DELAWARE CITY, or any other railroad termi-
Aatlon on tho river below the Horse Shoe, beyond
the power OF heavy ice, will prove an important
adjunct to the prosperity OF Philadelphia instead
OF detTaction, as some conceive. Even before
the era of steam aud electricity, all very great
cities have been founded inland, 4 distance from
the Ocsan.-as London. Paris, Vienna in modern
times, and Jerusalem, Rome, and other great cities
OF antiquity, whose history have come down to
US. Tho commerce Of London, iu former times,
before the introduction of steam, was not only
obstructed by the tedious navigation of the
Thames, but by the hindrances OF London bridge
which cuts off all ship communications with the
city. The docks, including the West India Docks
extend miles below that bridge, thereby rendering
the commercial depot of that vast metz opos,
more inconvenienced than Philadelphia could ever
be by harbor at Delaware city because, the
means OF transportation, to and from that poiut
and Philadelphia, are more available, more expe-
ditious, AMI less expensive than the transfer be-
tween the business centres of London and the
West India docks. Kingstown, below Dublin,
Carrietergues at Belfast, City Point at GLASGOW,
and Queenstown at Cork, have greatly facilitated
navIgable intercourse with these commercial en-
porums. In like manner, also, Della ware CITY
may be destined to sustain the mercantile enter
prise OF Philadelphia and perhaps keep up on oul
river the only line OF American steamers to Liver
pool OCTOGENARIAN.

The Great Tunnel Under ChIearO.

Over thirty proposals for the construction
OF the tunnel to connect the West side Pump
ing Works with the Water Works, were open
ed last week by the Chicago Board of Public
works. The tunnel beginning at the west
end OF the new lake tunnel, will run about
three and fye-sixths miles under the city to
the site OF the pumping works, and will be
about seventy-One feet below the ordinary
level Of the lake. There will be nine working
shafts, and nine fire shafts. The clear width
Of the tunnel will be seven feet, and height
seven feet and two inches. 1t is to be lined
with brick masonry II inches thick, and will
be completed January, 1875.
The original estimate OF the cost Of the
pumping works, the tunnel and the new lax g
tunnel, was 81 10000 Bonds we're sold, and
81, 300, 900 realized. The lake tunnel has been
completed, and its cost and that OF extending
the water mains has reduced the amount to
about S8OO,0OO. The Board estimated that
100000 would be required TO build the land
tunnel, but the bids received, which vary from
S4OO 900 to 5000, 900, has led them to conclude
that not as much money will have to be ex-
pended. Between 5000 and $500, 900 more
Will be necessary to complete the pumping
works and make the needed main extensions

all departments OF housekeeping, may be obtained,
and where lectures upon all branches of home la
