MURDER. = On Monday afternoon,
Mr.. Seabirt, shingle-maker, residing
on a lanch ON the Snohomish river
about half mile above Lowell was dis
covered brutally murdered. From the
appearance of things he must have been

an axe on the head, hip and leg. The
bed was covered with blood and there
were marks of scuff1e on the floor
Since he was murdered his son Edward,
q boy Is or 16 years of age has been
missing and it is supposed that the boy
murdered his father and took himself
of, or that the Indians committed the
murder and kidnapped the boy, to make
it appear that he murdered his father.
For the above facts we are indebted to u

TUESDAY, APRIL 2l.

Riel, concerning whom there is such be-
wildering excitement in the Dominion Par
lament, was the president of the provisional
government of the insurgents at the time Of
the Red river rebellion. In 1870 the French
insurrection against the newly formed Do
minion government. Thomas Scott, the
leader Of the loyalists, was taken prisoner
and put to death, and it is with his murder
that Louis Riel stands charged. In the face
of the indictment for murder he was elected
to the Don inion parliament and a few weeks
ago he had the hardihood to enter Ottawa
and affix his name secretly to the roll of the
house of commons; but he has been very
scarce since that peculiar performance. His
friends claim that his case comes under the
act of amnesty. John Bruce, who was pro-
visional president of the rebels before Riel,
tells horrible tale of the butchery of Scott.
The affair was managed in such bungling
manner that Scott was nailed in his coffin
while yet alive, and it was not until six
hours after the shooting that he finally
expired

Speaking of life insurance, the New York
Bulletin makes some statements which are of
interest to pretty large class. The two es-
sential points which lie at the foundation of
all the calculations are the average duration
of life and the rate of interest on the capital.
7 As TO the former, the estimates are made on
healthy and sound constitutions; and to de-
termine these conditions, several ques-
tons are propounded to the candidate to be
answered by aim in addition to
the medical examination of a professional
expert. Sometimes the applicant answers
falsely to some OF the queries, in which case,
if the fact be proven, he invalidates the con-
tract. But it appears that the greatest peril
to the companies and all members of mu-
tual concerns does not lie in fraudulent rep
reservations, but in facts that are, at least,
partially admitted by the applicants in their
answers. On an investigation by the Bulle-
tin one hundred applications were exam
ined as to this question: "Do you
use intoxicating liquors?n Only one in
ten answered squarely in the negative. The
other nine say moderately" or occasion
ally" Not any one admits that he is a
habitual or excessive tippler. BY the side
of this fact stands another one of significance.
On examination of the record of deaths and
losses paid by this company, the startling
fact is disclosed that six-tenths of all the
deaths were either directly from the
effects of rum, or hastened by the
same cause, and further, that more
than half of the contested cases involving
litigation are those which are complicated
with intemperance. To this it my be added,
as well known fact, that a majority Of

jury gave a verdict which asserted

and sent to meet the cold reception of an
ungrateful world.
