Proudhon's Correspondence, Of which the
being very much read. 1t seems to be
the impression, that this rude, vigorous
and Independent thinker has yet TO be
understood, and that he was not the terri
Bile Leyeller he was generally considered
to be. He said he liked to frighten the
bomyeeoiste. He owns he contributed no.
thing more to the Revolution of 1913, than
as an ordinary printer, setting up some
four lines of an inhammatory proclama-
ton. Many of his letters read, by the
light of current events, as fulfilled pro-
phesies. Nothing political he says, can
be settled without the concurrence OF all
parties; extreme men be observes, promise
progress, but it is for Conservatives alone
to give it.

BARBADOS

ESTABLISHED IN s.
INCORPORATED BY SPECIAL c 1851.
CHIEF OFFICE:
No. 20, H~IGHSTREET, B~RIDGETowN, BARBADOS
9IGHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
Of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, Iabouring in the same
field, can offer. Its 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 suffi-
cient to create large surpluses, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
2li6 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during q period Of 80 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing m 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 -

Fire at Winchester, n. III.

Winchester, a small village situated
on the Ashuelot railroad, thirteen miles
from Keene, was visited by a destruct-
i've confagration at two o'clock on Tues
day morning. The buildings burned
are, viz. John A. Powers, jeweler and
drug store on the first floor of the build
ing; savings bank and lawyers offices
on the second floor; Grin Curtis saloon,
Mr.. Phillips meat market, +. Cook, gro
Gerry, hardware and grain.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but
supposed to be incendiary.
The loss is estimated at from $4,000
to $4,000. The amount of insurance
is not yet ascertained, but is believed to
be enough or nearly enough to quite
cover the loss.

task Of entertaining the host of friends
from abroad. They truly deserve the
highest need of praise.
But it would be unjust to close with
out mentioning the more substantial to-
kens of friendship and good will The
value of the presents are estimated at
nearly six hundred dollars, over five
hundred in cash, of which over one hun.
bred were in gold, but over and above
all, and beyond price are the love and
confidence of the people manifested
herein. When this result was announced,
/" Father Foster as he is affectionately
called, was moved to tears, and arose
and said with much emotion, g thank
you; may God bless you" 1t is enough
to say, Putney people out did themselves,
they have added one more link to the
chain Of affection which has bound Mr..
Foster and family to Putney for over
forty years. Thus passed the only old

The Railroad Cases.

The hearing on the injunction of Sohier
Il Shultz versus the Vermont Central
railroad company, set for Tuesday, in
the United States circuit court at Wind
sor, will not be heard, the defendants
conserving that the temporary injunction
shall remain until some future session of
the court. In the case of Birchard and
Page versus Wait and others, a case
growing out of an attempt to break the
lease of the Vermont Valley railroad to
the Rutland railroad, the defendants
have also consented to let the temporary
injunction remain, as in the preceding
case. Consequently there will be no
term of the court held at Windsor.

POpular Resorts.

John b. Bachelor of Boston has just
issued book entitled Popular Resorts,
and How to Reach them" At first we
supposed it to be common guide book,
but on examination find it quite different
from that class of books, and fills place
heretofore unoceupied. 1t is more Of a
Gazateer of pleasure travel. 1t will
prove ttractive from being so profusely
as well as very finely illustrated. All
the popular resorts will be found here
with sketches of them and surroundings
and including many illustrations of in
teresting scenery and places in the Uni
ted States, and gives much information
of the different localities. The publish
er says he is determined to make a stan
dard work, and we certainly think he
has made very promising beginning.
1t is nicely bound and makes good
looking book for the parlor table, and
may be had of DIR 0. F. Woods in this
