Mrs Mary d. Brodhead died recently at South
New Market, N. H, in the ninety-third year Of
her age. She had conVersed with every Presi-
aent Of the United Estates from General Wash
ington down, and with the lamented Lincoln
especially was on terms Of personal friendship.
Her husband was the late Hon. and Rev. John
Brodhead, we'll known throughout New England
as an eloquent divine and distinguished citizen.
He was for many iyears q leading clergyman Of
the Methodist Church, and represented the First
New Hampshire district two terms In Congress.
Mrs. Brodhead reared q large family Of children,
several Of whom have risen TO prominence. One
of her sons was the late Colonel 7. i. Brodhead,
of the LIST Michigan cavalry, who, after serving
with distinction In the Mexican war, fell while
gallantly leading his command at the second bat
tie of Bull Run. Her sons now living are Colonel
D. d. Brodhead, prominent citizen Of Boston,
Mass: Hon. J. NJ. Brodhead, Second Comptroller
Of the United States Treasury; George ii. Brod
head, ESQ.,, for several years presidentO Of the New
York Stock Exchange, and Major ]. A. Brod-
head, paymsster in the United States army.
Mrs. Brodhead was lady Of superior accom-
plisb ments, remarkable energy and great useful
ness. She was for upwards OF seyenty-hve years
q member Of the Methodist Church, and most
exemplary and devout Christian. She retained
her faculties, With almost undated ytgor, to the
day of her death. After q brief illness, while
surrounded by loving friends and cheered with
Christian hope, she sank peacefully to rest

A Bold Resolve IN Dangerous Situation.

A remarkable instance Of presence OF mind on
the part Of the captain Of q man-ofwar is related
by the st. Petersburg papers About the end Of
last month the Russian war irigate OLAF, which
had accompanied the yacht Of the Czarewitch
to Copenhagen, was lying at anchor among hun
dreds OF other ships in the harbor wheu IRE was
discovered in a coal cellar below, which was only
q few feet from the powder-magazine. There was
no time to put out the fire before it could reach
the magazine and an explosion Of the large stores
of cartridges and gunpoWdsr contained in 1t would
probably have destroyed not only the Olaf aud
the surrounding ships, but part Of Copenhagen
itself. Captain Rehbinder, the commander of the
Olaf saw at once that the only thing to be done to
prevent catastrophe was to sink the ship.
After sending away the crew, with the ships
papers eash-boxes and most valuable Instruments
In boats, he ordered the carpenters and engineers
to make leak In the vessel, and half an hour az
forwards che sank in not very deep water. Next
day she was raised again, and after some provi-
sional repairs was taken to Cronstadt, where she
Is now lying in dock pending her complete restora
tion for service. The damage done is said TO be
comparatively triling, and the courtmartial held
on The officers Of the vessels unanimously ex-
pressed the highest praise Of the conduct Of the
CAPTAIN and his subordinates. The Emperor has
appointed him his aidc-te-camp, which is one Of
the highest honors conferred on Russian naval
offcers, and the officers and men under him have
received gratuities from the Emperor's priyY

are old residents and well known in our city, and
too, they are men Of long practical business ex-

advantages OF an actual capital stock Of 81 OOOO
its assets 81 4O5s52 surplus over all liabilities
of more than their capital stock. The perplexlng
system with life insurance OF "credtts, " "divi:
dfnds" and deductions for "loRns" and notes"
are avoided in this company, and the plain terms
used makes this the simplest matter OF business.
Its officers are men Of experience, prudence and
ability, all being large stockholders. We feel

substantial men, and that they represent q good
