LIFE PAYMENT.
ANNUAL PAYMENTS.

A Life Payment secures life membership,
and relieves person from any further pay
ments except the one dollar assessment on
the death of any member. The annual div-
dend of Life Members will be applied to can
Gel the one dollar assessments.
Annual payments continue through life.
The annual dividend to those making the an
nual payments will be applied first to cancel
the annual payments and afterwards to can
celthe one dollar assessments.
Persons are allowed to choose between ordi-
nary membership and Life Membership. Life
Members make no annual payments. Other
members at the time of joining make one
annual payment.
Persons taking life membership can pay
one-fourth OF the required amount at the time
of making application and the bafance in
ninety days at one per cent. per month inter-
est.
The interest on the Reserve Fund Is distri-
buted annually among the members as "a divi-
dend, according to the length of time each
person has been a member-members of five
years. standing receiving five times as much
as members of one years standing.
Do not contound us with life insurance. We
are " Protective Association" We do bust
ness in different way-in part for the same
purpose, but for one-tifth the expense to men,
bers, who receive all the benefit.
Further particulars of the Association can
be obtained from the Secretary in person or
by letter, or of any Local Agent.

Robbery in Connecticut.

One of the boldest and most success
full robberies took place in East Bridge
port on the night of March 4th, at the
house of Carl Caester, who was
asleep in his room, and knew nothing
of the occurrence and his loss until
told of it by his son the next morning.
Among the articles taken from Mr..
Caester were one $1,000 Toledo and
Wabash Railroad bond, $500 in gold,
silver and greenbacks, two gold watch
es, jewelry, etc., the whole valued at
$1,000. The property was in a bag,
and had been placed in bureau draw
er in Mr.. Caester's room for safe keep
ing. The number Of the railroad bond
was 2,247. Payment on it has been
stopped. No real clew to the perpe-
traitor of the crime has yet been dis
covered, and there are many circum-
stances about the case which make it
very singular one. Two German
pedlers Of watches and revolvers,
known to have been in the neighbour
hood at the time of the burglary, have
been arrested, one by the name of
Derrick, in this city, this afternoon,
and the other, giving the name of
Clemens, and who disappeared sud-
denly from the city after the robbery,
in Hartford, last night.

The Wool. Growers.

The adjourned meeting of the WOOL
growers of Southern California con-
venes in the Courthouse this morning
at IL o'clock. The last two attempts
at meeting were failures, mainly we
believe, because at the times selected
sheep men were busily engaged in at
tending to their flocks, but also from
an apprehension that it was the inten-
ton to make it subserve the interests
of few individuals. We are glad to
learn that such apprehensions no
longer exist, and that while the busy
season of the year will prevent the at
tendance of many who are largely in
terested, goodly number of enter
prising and progressive men will be
present. An effort will be made to
perfect an organization which it is
hoped will result in great advantage to
the business. There is great need of
intelligent cooperation among those
interested in the raising of sheep. 1t
is an important industry, and the
whole community have an interest in
seeing it flourish. We shall therefore
watch the proceedings of the meeting
to-day with .earnestness, and hope
they will be productive of good to
those concerned.

Too Much Bulk.

The Bulletin financial article of the
18th says that the most strenuous adj
vocates of coin currency have no apol-
ogies to make for the inconvenience of
handling the same. In all banks
where large business is transacted,
the tellers hold positions requiring
considerable energy. The introduction
of gold notes has given some relief,
and perhaps the system in time will
exactly meet the wants OF the country.
A note that is convertible into coin at
the option of the holder and which has
the guarantees afforded by the Gold
Note Bank system, is preferable to the
coin itself, inasmuch as it is easier
handled and can be more safely pro-
tected. The bulky character of the
coin must always be an obstacle in the
transaction of large moneyed interests.
1t is thought that in addition to gold
notes, additional relief might be OBJ
tanned if the Government were to de-
signate the office of the Assistant
Treasurer as a depository for gold coin
and bullion, issuing in exchange for
the same gold notes specially prepared
so as to show on their face that the
equivalent in gold was held by the
Government. 1t is commonly sup
posed that there is from 500, 000, 900 to
$25, 200, 900 in gold coin in circulation
in this State and Nevada. This
is being hauled and dumped about
from day to day, resulting in more or
less abrasion, which must ultimately
be met by the government. There is
also the expense of numerous large
safes and diligent watchcare in the
protection of this treasure in variety
of localities. Besides, it is believed
that in many parts of the interior coin
is withdrawn from circulation and Sc
creted for safe keeping. Now if the
bulk of this coin were lodged in the
hands of the government, under SINH
lar rules as govern in the case OF the
Bank of England, great advantages, it
is commended, would result therfrom.
There would be less abrasion from the
use of the coin, less expense in hand
ling, housing and caring for it, and
less disposition to hide small amounts
from circulation. The extent of the
banking capital in hand could also be
more easily ascertained. The amount
of coin and bullion in the vaults of the
| United States Treasurer in San Fran
cisco would always show the amount
of bills in circulation, and such bills
would pass as readily as the coin.
Such system would also enable
banks and others to utilize their fine
gold bullion. Something of this kind
has already been adopted in New
York and we commend the suggestion
to the attention of financiers and to
the favorable attention of our delega-
ton in the National Congress.

The Protection Of Useful Birds.

There was kind of ornithOlogical
congress held in Vienna some time
since, in which the habits of the vari-
Gus kinds of birds were discussed, and
those that should be protected and pro-
pagated because Of their usefulness
indicated. For the useful birds Dr.
Brehm wished an international law,
prohibiting the wholesale slaughter of
useful species, as carried on in Italy,
and of larks, as on the plains of Savoy.
Without international laws nothing
can be attained, but in the preparing
of such laws the greatest caution and
knowledge must be had. He likewise
urged the moderate preservation of
certain animals of prey, which, al
though they destroy birds, do good in
devouring field mice and other ver-
min. He spoke in favor of foxes,
fitchets, ermints, and weasels. AL
though the substance of DIR. Brehm's
address was that the first thing to be
done in protecting the birds is to teach
their use or harm in the schools, and
place the useful birds and animals
under the care of the people. The
doctor also referred to the amusing
custom of the fifteenth century, when
the insect vermin, which now the con-
gress demands shall be taken in
charge by the birds, were summoned
before the ecclesiastical courts to an
swer for their iniquities, whereupon
such O curious command as the follow
ing order was issued: Gratis, catapil-
lars, snails, and all you unclean ami
mails which destroy the harvest of our
brothers, begone out of our canton,
which you are devastating, and flee to
such where you can injure no one."
And in order that the vermin could
not plead ignorance of their sentence
it was made known in the devas-
tated district by means of public
criers, amid the blowing Of trumpets
and beating of drums.
