considered a. an indication Of the estimation in
which they held, then their reputation and
merit is established beyond question. 1t Is also

eighteen months we have been agents Cor a brand

assured that the management will be pru-
dent and safe in the future Though the
past year has been peculiarly severe on
almost all insurance companies, there Is
reason to expect that the coming year viii

HlNEsBU RGH.-lhe citizens OF lllneSDurgh

Of several tases Of smallpox in the family
Of Mr. Luman \. Smith, living near
Rhode Island Corner, in the northeast

Saturday night, very suddenly Mrs Smith
had been an invalid Cor some time, and it Is
not known whether her death is TO be at
tributed to the smallpox or not. There
was no eruption One of Mr. Smith sons
worked, in the fall, over the lake. and came
home some weeks ago Some two weeks
ago he wa, i'll. with eruptions and other
symptoms, which were taken to he chicken

Other members of the family, with the
mother, began to complain on Saturday last,
and the physicians, called in at the mother
death, found nearly the whole family Of SIX
or seven persons suffering under some stage
of smallpox What makes the case excite
more uneasines>, Is the fact that Mr. smith :
children have attended school all along
while their brother was i'll, and he, after
getting better. was in and out nj the neigh
bors' quite freely. The town authorities
have taken all possible precaution to pre-
vent the disease from spreading.
The death of Mrs Wilson lannounced
elsewhere. under the proper head was not
anticipated by even her friends till the day
before it occurred. Her husband was in
Boston. and was summoned home, but did
not arrive till four hours after her decease.
She was a most estimable woman, and her
loss will be severely felt by the Congrega-
tional church, of which she was member.
by the Sabbath-school, in which she was
teacher. and, most of all. by her own family.
She leaves three small children, the youngest
but three weeks old The family have the
sincere sympathy of their many friends.

Killed by a Stone.

Edward Kerrigan was tried in the
Oyer and Terminer Court, New York,
on IN indictment for murder in The first
degree, and narrowly escaped a convic-
ton for the full offence, receiving SEN
tence to State Prison for life, having
been found guilty Of manslaughter in
the first degree. The case is singular
one.
In the evening Of the 18th OF August
last, Martin Fritz, then keeper of a beer
saloon in Fifty.second street, discovered
some unknown persons throwing stones
at his house. He started for an officer,
and the stone throwing ceased for q
time. Learning this from o messenger,
he did not return promptly. Little
Maggie Fritz, the ieur.year.old pet Of
the Fritz household, became anxious
about her papa. TWAS her hour for
going to bed, and her mother asked her
TO do so. But she said, ~ cannot go to
bed until papa comes back. Imust kiss
him good night" To please the child
Mrs, Fritz took her to the front door,
and held her in her arms few minutes,
watching for the absent husband and
father. Suddenly Mrs, Fritz felt q
shock, and the child uttered scream.
II had been struck on the left side Of
the head by q stone as large as q mans
hand, and its skull was smashed as
though it had been an egg-shell. Wit
nesses testified that Kerrigan threw the
stones from the roof Of the house oppo-
site that OF Fritz.
