NEW DEPARTURE. VIM. Peters and
Jos. Speidel have entered into copart-
nership for the manufacture of wag-
ons, carriages, buggies, etc. They will
for the present occupy the wagon shop
and blacksmith shop next to 1t, on
Ferry street, between First and Second,
but during the coming year 1t Is their
intention to erect on the corner of
Third and Ellsworth streets. opposite
Frank Woods blacksmith shop, q
large establishment for their manhfac-
tory. These gentlemen will shortly
have on hand and for sale large num-
Der of wagons of the very best mate
rial and workmanship, and we trust
our citizens will give them a liberal
patronage. Don't send away for any,
thing which you can get made ut
home. Hundreds Of thousands of dol
lars are annually sent out of the coun-
try for agricultural implements and
wagons which might just as well be
kept here. All that 1t needs to keep the
money here is to encourage those who
desire to engage In manufactures
among as. Don't fail to do this.
PATENT RECEIvED.-Last Saturday
Messrs. Culver & Priest received their
patent on the new style of cultivator
which they have invented. They haye
manufactured and have for sale i'm this
city eleven of their cultivators, and
will shortly have many more on the
road to completion. What we know
about experimental farming is very
scant, but we are told by the knowing
ones that these cultivators are vast
improvement upon anything of the
kind heretofore invented. They are
handy, convenient, simple and cheap,
and we trust Nessrs. Culver & Priest
may be able to build up large manu-
factory here and a vast patronage for
their implements. Their manufactory
is for the present on Broadalbin street,
between First and Second. IHe hope
our farmers will patronize this institu-
tion instead of buying implements of
Eastern manufacture. We want our
money kept at home.

FATAL SHOOTING AFPRAY BETWEEl
EAIL0RS-SPEEDY DEATH.
Arrest Of tho Guilty Party.

Arrest Of the Guilty Party.
A tragic affair resulting in the death OF an inno-
cent and inofensive man took place yesterday
shortly before twelve O'Clock. in the groggery OF
Timothy O'Brien No. 1855 Cherry street. 1t appears
that Thomas Clark, mulatto sailor, called at the
sailors house to see James Walsh shipmate, and
from there they proceeded to OBrien's place.
whore they drank to excess. Suddenly, and ap-
parently without cause, Clark drew six-barrelled
pistol and aimed 1t at Walsh, who thereupon
relaxing his grasp the latter commenced firing in
the person Of Martin Gettens an English sea-
man, forty-nve years OF age, then in the
place, and who was to have sailed in
few hours for London, In the ship Hudson. The
ball entered little to the left OF the median line,
Just below the sternum, aud apparently pierced
the stomach Gettens lived but few minutes
afterwards. Captain Mount, OF the Seventh pre-
cinct being informed Of the tragedy, caused the
arrest OF Clark and locked him up In the station
house, to await the action Of the Coroner.
James Walsh, who Is United states sailor on
lurlough, and several other persons, are detained
as witnesses. Apparently there was no intent on
the part OF Clark to shoot Gettens or any one
else, as there was no provOcation fer doing so.
Deceased boarded ct No. 81 Monroe street. and
Clark lived ut No. 100 Cherry street.
Late In the afternoon Coroner keenan, ard
Deputy Coroner Leo were Informed that Gcsten z
had been shot, and accordingly, repaired to the
station house, and had the body sent to t6 Ms,rrue
where DR.. Leo Win make an autopsy this
morning.

FAILURE OF THE NATIONAL LIFE lNsUR.
AKCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK..

The National Life insurance Company of New
York, doing business at No. 212 Broadway, failed
yesterday and was placed In the hands of a re-
ceiver, Mr.. Eli Beard who was appointed by Judge
Fancher and ordered to file bonds in $780, 900. This
result was brought about by the petition Of Mr..
Joseph Wilds Of Brooklyn, based upon the report
OF the State superintendent OF Insurance that the
reserve capital or the company had been impaired
to the extent OF $1so,0o0. The petitioner, stating
that he held forty shares, worth $50 per SHARE his
whole interest amounting to $4,000, asked for an
injunction prohibiting the company from exercis.
ing any Of its corporate rights, priv.
leges or franchises from collecting or receiv-
ing any debts or demands and from paying
out or In any way transferring delivering to any
person any OF the money or effects of the company
The petition states that the liabilities Of the COM
pany are an Indebtedness on the policies, calcu-
lated according to the provisions OF the law Of
1858, and the amount necessary as Q reserve,
$685., ,296, and the assets as ascertained and ad-
mitted by the superintendent, are s544 21s. and
the unadmitted assets are, appears by the table,
s127, GEO. exclusive OF premium notes over reserve
on policies represented by those notes, but not
allowed, $72357, showing thereby deficiency Of
sIeo,lI2 and as to stockholders OF ssI0.4l2.
A HERALD reporter, who called at tue once of
tendent found their reserve below the standard
which ne uXebs anu, consequently JncTe was no
help for the company but to collapse, unless the
stockholders were willing to make up the deh-
cheney. They held meeting yesterday afternoon
and declined TO take that course; consequently the
company ceases to exist and adds another to the
long list OF failures this season. The stockholders
felt unable, on account OF the scarcity Of money,
to come to the rescue.
The reporters informant declared that the policy
holders would lose nothing by the failure as their
policies would be transferred to another company
In good standing, and the loss will fall altogether
on the stockholders. He further said that II the
serve the sum marked in the table s.unadmltted as
SETS matters would be all right. The of the
reserve falling below the required amount was the
general one tnat affected financial business IN all
directions. 1t was one Of the results oil the uni
versal monetary disturbance, and could only have
been met aud ttded over by sacrifice on the part
OF the stockholders. The following is table OF the
assets and liabilities, showing also the items not
admitted into the calculations Of the State
