LET every business man, every house
holder, examine his policy OF insurance,
and see that his property is protected
against loss or damage by fire. If any
are not satisfied thoroughly in regard to
the character Of the company to whom
they look for indemnity ia case of loss,
they should change their policies, OIL
get additional ones, forthwith. 1t is
the hight of folly to insure in irrespon-
sible companies, or employ agents Of
whose integrity there is any reason tc
doubt.

THE wAvsRLY AFFAIR.

MIR. LOUIS NEITHER DEAD NOR DYING.
We are enabled to-day to lay before
our readers the facts in the case of the
recent attempt to kill at Waverley. 1t
appears that on Tuesday noon, four
men from Elizabeth we're cunning
across the fields along the line of the
boulevard, near Waverley they finally
entered upon the truck farm of Mr.. G.
@. Louis, at the head of Sherman ave-
nue., near Evergreen cemetery. Mr..
Louis did not like the idea Of their
tramping down his beds OF celery, so he
ordered them off his lands.
The four men leisurely walked away
taking their own time, and seeming
to pay but little attention to Mr.. Louis.
The men left the farm when they
returned, having satisfied themselves
that Mr.. Louis was out of sight. The
rascals were soon after found on their
old tramping ground, from which they
were again ordered away, by two men
in the employ of Mr.. Louis.
They absolutely refused to move,
saying they wasn't in any hurry. "
One of the gunners then sprang on one
of the laborers-Antoine, by name, and
with awell directed blow. planted the ham
mers of his gun in the skull of Antoine,
who fell speechless to the ground. His
companion, John Graft, called for help,
and went to the assistance of Antoine,
who was being meanwhile roughly han
died by the four men.
AR Louis hearing the call, ran into
the house for his gun, armed with
which he fastened across the field. Mr..
Louis saw the men beating his men, so
he fired his gun in the hopes of fright
ening them away, but the villains were
intent op killing their victim, who for
the time being was unconscious. Graft
was also badly bruised.
The would-be assassius no sooner saw
Louis approaching, than they discharg-
ed their guns at him-several shot lodg-
ing in his clothes. Mr. Louis again
fired, and this time with better effect,
for the villains beat a retreat across
the fields in the direction OF the GENE.
terry.
Mr.. Louis gave directions to have the
wounded men carried to the house, after
which he sent word to the police of this
city, but they paid no attention to the
call. Mr.. Louis followed the men to
this city, where he lost sight of three of
them. One of the assailants took re-
fuge in house near Westminster
church, and perhaps he will be arrested
This morning our reporter visited the
wounded men at Mr.. Louis house.
Graft is able to be about, while Antoine
is in fair way of recovery. although he
suffers terribly from the wound in his
back, as well as the fracture of skull.
DIR. Grier is in attendance upon the
wounded men.
The outrage is a dastardly one and
the perpetrators should be apprehended
and punished as they deserve. Mr..
Louis has not very exalted opinion OF
our police, who, if they had answered
his call, might have captured the vii
lains- as they ran directly to this city.

THE LECTURE AT LIBRARY HALL.

The lecture and exhibition at Library
hall last evening was one of much in
terest to the student of nature, and was
much better than the last lecture of
Andrews, and was we'll calculated to
awaken in the minds of the thoughtful
new ideas of the wonderful develop
ments OF nature, and had the lecturer
interspersed the suggestion of his repre-
sensations by giving moral and reli-
gious tone to his remarks, it would have
been truly sublime. And it does appear
to the writer that at such lectures, and
before such an organization, it is right
and proper to throw around and about
the audience at least few thoughts in
reference to God, and the interest of
the immortal soul. Just think what an
impression might have been made with
such subject and the aid of those
beautiful pictures, so wildly drawn out
by aid of the magic lantern Think of
such man, with good descriptive
powers, with an ordinary amount of
reverence toward God and his wonder
full works : l say think of such man,
standing on that platform, and all
around darkness and stiffness except the
flash of that wonderful light that threw
its shadows upon the fronting canvas,
when, quick as thought, one of Gods
most wonderful displays of artistic skill
looms up, or passes before the rivetcd
gaze of the spectator, and as the scene
remains before the eye it almost seems
to grow and pass through the process of
creation.
Thus scene after scena comes and
goes, each in their turn representing
one or more OF the wonders of God.
The day, as we'll as night, in these Arc
tic regions, speak the true language of
God, and as one stands, or sits, gazing,
and, as it were, straining the eye to get
the first peep of the long-looked-for day,
and sees the rim of that beautiful orb
slowly rising above the horizon, betok-
ening the day coming 1 say what
theme is this to present to Christian
audience, and also to the thoughtless
outside world for such admirably pre-
sented sketches Of nature, when proper
ly explained, seem to bring US into the
presence and jurisdiction of
the great Jehovah
Ard as one looks and looks upon the
iceberg and the avalanche OF snow and
ice that seems to bar the passage from
the observer and the Polar sea, what
splendid opportunity to impress every
mind with Il truth that man is immor-
tai, and on the outside sea of life, and
fast approaching the Polar sea of eter-
nifty, and the cold icebergs OF death, are
mountains high before us, and
there is no other way to gain that ocean
Of eternity, but on deaths cold barriers.
Think, how fine would have been an al
fusion of this nature, before such an
and such an audience, CIV
ing and leaving an impression upon all,
that it is truly a religious organization.

and called It Gartarsholm. Shortly there
after i Norwegian, Nodod' was also drift
ed there. In sos the island was visited by
another Norwegian, Folkie, who remained
for d year there, and called it Iceland In
golf, driven into exile on account of cruel
ties perpetrated by the Norwegian King,
Hagar Haarsager, proceeded in S64 with
his foster-brother for Iceland, and there
founded the earliest settlements. These
were near the place where Reikjavik, the
capital of the island, now stands. Others
followed the two brothers, and the island
was soon Inhabited macy 81 q ls.4lu..
