selves of the rare opportunity to supply theil
tables with handsome service for about the
usual cost of ordinary white China.

How MANY I've hear it suggested that
there are quite a number Of boys and young
men, apprentices and workers in the various
branches of industry in our village, whose day
time is necessarily all devoted to labor, but who
are nevertheless so DESTROYS Of improving their
education that they would gladly devote their
evenings to that purpose, provided the oppor-
tuniy was afforded them. We know person
ally Of some who might take a high rank in
their calling, were it not for sadly defective
education. This is too bad, where the means
Of mental improvement are so abundant. All
such as are DESTROYS Of improving the adyan-
tages afforded by an evening school, are desired
to leave their names at once with Mr.. West
gate, the principal of our school and if there
are enough to warrant the trial, we are con
fdent the means of instruction can be found.

IMPORTANT TO INSURERS. Insurance placed
in companies that have not complied with the
laws of this State, cannot, in case Of loss, be
sued for and recovered. Insurers may, there
fore, well understand that in accepting policies
in such companies, they are wholly without in
demnity against loss, except at the caprice Of
the companies whose Illegal and void policies
they hold.
