MARROW Escape OF HoRsE.-As the early
train was passing along Water street, this morn
ing. approaching the depot, it frightened large,
dark brown horse which was harnessed to a cart.
We do not know the owner of the animal. Hear
ing up, the cart, which was heavily loaded,
dumped, and for some moments held the horse
in the air upon his hind legs, he paving and
making vigorous efforts to free himself. Final
", the harness broke and he fell, with his feet
towards the cars, and although he was kicking
among the car wheels as the train passed,
strange to say none of his feet were run over
and he escaped with few slight scratches
When the horse fell the shafts remained extend
ed in the air with the harness hanging to them.

Narrow Escape from Drowning.

Last Friday afternoon two young men,
accompanied by ladies, went for u pleasure
ride on Berlin pond. What took place on
that occasion should serve as a wholesome
warning, not only to them, but to all girls and
boys-young or old-who may choose to
leave terra irma aud ride on the "bounding
deep" or zen on u pond.
When out some ways from shore-from
some causo-oue report says from ''fooling"
the boat was upset aud the whole party
was "spilt" among the fishes which there
abound. Now anne the life or death strug.
gle aud those who then and there took an
unwilling bath must realize that for once
they came very near-most unpleasantly
near-taking a hasty exit from the scenes Of
earth.
But for the near proximity and speedy ar
rival Of a stranger boat, the whole party,
very likely, would have eendrowned, as it is
understood hat only one, at most, Of the
four was able to swim. After more or less
sinking, and rising, and bruising all were at
length once more aboard and homeward
bound.
Would il derogate in the least from the
responsibility OF young people to learn the
art of swimming2 Not at all. On the con-
trary, it should be esteemed an accomplish
ment for the young Of both sexes to DO able
TO swim to that extent at least, which shall
enable them to sustain themselves when ac-
eidentally thrown into the water, till help
can be obtained.
Many and many a precious life has been
lost through the prevalence Of false or fool
ish notions on this subject. u. L. A.

Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany.

The annual statement Of the Phoenix Life
Insurance Company, which will be found in
another column, receives the following favor
able notice from the Hartford Post.
"The twenty-fourth annual statement,
being the exhibit for 1874, Of the Phoenix
Mutual Life Insurance Company, is present
ed TO our readers to-day. The company
shows a solid and steady increase as to assets,
aud furnishes tangible evidence that it is
keeping in view the individual rights Of its
policy holders, by exercising toward them
the widest possible liberality compatible
with their future interests. During the last
ten years the Phoenix has returned TO its
policy holders upon low rates Of insurance,
very nearly four millions Of dollars in divi-
dends and has during the same time ~increas-
ed its assets over nine millions besides pay
ing TO families Of deceased members over
four million dollars. This record of itself
is one Of which the officers may well be
proud. ID uring the past year its funded
asserts show an increase Of over a million
dollars, and the company returned to policy
holders as dividends 1929 $40. The direc.
tors have found that they can further in.
crease the ratio of dividends to policy hold.
ers and at the same time preserve the integ.
rity and safety of the company's financial
condition, aud policy holders renewing this
year will get the benefit of the reduction.
The statement shows a surplus over aud
above all claims aud liabilities Of S1,127,-
400. The off GERS manifest such a regard
for a careful and conservative course in the
management Of The large interests placed in
their hands as will conduce to the benefit OF
its policy holders and add strength to the
well established reputation of the company"
We might say 10 addition to the above
statement that nearly tweuty-eight per
cent Of the total income for 1874, was
returned to policy holders in dividends dur
ing the same year aud, during the last three
years, the Phoenix has returned to its insur-
ed members, in policy claims and dividends,
on an average, over ffty.6ve per cent of its
total income each year.

cause they have the means for such work
wit hin their organizations. This republic
belongs to the whole people, and all are and
should be invited to participate in these
anniversary exercises. American citizens
have been too careless in this matter in time
past, but let the coming gathering, both in
numbers aud earnestness, prove that we are,
at heart, no less grateful for this national
heritage than those who have preceded
us.
We shall be able TO announce the pro-
gramme complete next week. An extra
train will be run on the Passumpsic rail.

PIANoFoRTEs.-Our Boston makers, as
heretofore, still rank foremost IN the steady
advance in quality aud style continuously
being made in this favorite instrument.
Prominent among them is the firm Of Guild,
Church n Co. Beside the extensive home
trade Of this house their pianos are sold
largely by dealers throughout the country
from the Canadas to Oregon, and with an
increasing foreign demand. Mr.. Guild, one
Of the founders Of the business, has recently
associated with himself Mr.. ii. NJ. Bearce,
in the place of Mr.. Church, lately deceased.
Although a new business to MIR. Bearce,
who has been in retirement from active bust

It the experience Of his former large and

will certainly not be lowered by his connec.

keep still and not interfere with the plf. in
the purchase Of a certain share in some real

means of which the plf. suffered damages.
The defts admitted the payment of the
