report Saturday night at Cory that a man
had been murdered and his body dragged
through the alley near the lookup. The
citizens turned out with lanterns, made a
search and found where the body had been
dragged, and found his pants, hat, etc.

open the door and found the dead body of
man lying on the floor with an old strap
around his neck, the body covered with
mud VIII ere they had dragged him along

and was likely to be found out, so under
took to move it, and was caught. Some

A ness exclusively to assuring the live
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, Iabouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums.
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sufi
cient to create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
2lie per cent per mum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members Of the Society.
It's career, during a period of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,
and that they do not demand such exces
sive Premiums as are charged by every
other Company.
The following abridged Table shows the
Premiums required to assure 500, for the
whole term, upon a single life -

Assurances of every description on sim
gle lives are granted by the Society for
anysum from 500 Dollars to 10000 Dollars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half
yearly, or Yearly, at the option of the
Assured.
Assures wishing to discontinue the pay
ment of their Premiums, may either dis
pose of their Policies to the Society upon
equitable terms, or obtain a free Policy
for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security Of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly net within 3 months after salts
factory proof of such death has been re-
eeiyed by the Society.
Strict Investigations into the position of
the Society are made quinquenniaIly, and
the surplus then existing is allotted to the
Members, after a sufficient sum has been
set aside for the purposes OF the Reserve
Fund. The next investigation and D ivi-
sion of Profits, will take place at the 31st
December, 1875.
The Society has Agencies in nearly all
of the British West India Islands.
