FAIRFIELD ITEMs.-The corn canning facto-
ry at this place is busily engaged putting up
from twelve to fifteen thousand cans day.
The corn is said to be of superior quality.
Everything is under the direct supervision of
the agent, S. Merrill, esq.,, who has been en-
gagged in the work about seventeen years. The
heaviest yield thus far has been three thousand
cans to the acre-this at 81 cents per can gives
$105 as the proceeds, and as farmers count the
fodder equal to the work and dressing, this
amount as the net earnings per acre is ccnsfd-
cred good.
The propretors of Fairfield Trotting Park

Science OfLife,

The inception of the American Popular Life
Insurance had this to distinguish it from all its
predecessors or successo rs-that it was organic.
ed to test, establish and con6rm'a principle in
science, a law of life which is now known and
recognized as the science of biometry or the
art of measuring life or lifetime.
1t was primarily less to do insurance than
through insurance to test the value of the OBJ
servations made through long series of years
concerning the facts conditions and indications
of long and of short life that the company was
organized.
1t seemed like bold move on the part of the
protector of this enterprise to seek to enlist cap
ital in support of a scientific experiment, and
holder move still for capital to enlist in what
was By very many, and by the insurance frater-
nifty universally at that time, denounced Qux-
otto
But Dr. Lambert had amongst his acquain-
tances those who valued not only his many
sterling personal qualities-quaities which
themselves sometimes attract or aggregate cap
ital for its beneft-but who knew that ne would
not propose scheme of philosophy that he
had not already 80 far investigated as to bring
it to him within the range of what may be
termed ''ositiue philosophy, or of demonstrated
facts. The principle advanced by him needed
no confirmation In his mind. To him it was
both clear and clearly defined, but lacked the
kind of testimony in its support which Iwould
make it accepted by mankind generally.
The most complete and satisfactory test of
the principle could only be made through the
methods Of life insurance, and the facts obtain
ed in that way being of record, would be abso-
lutte demonstrations of the principle, if the
principle was true.
Of its truth the projectors fully persuaded
themselves before investing in the enterprise.
But the fact remains that all the demonstra-
ton before them at the time was the series of
observations made by DR.. Lambert, and these
were supplemented only by his character as a
trained scientist, and with these as the base,
the capital was secured and operations com.
menced.
We need not enlarge upon the facts of the
success which 5as attended the effort. Pecun-
iarily the company has been successful beyond
the measure anticipated by the stockholders
but apart frem this and as scientific success
lin the demonstration of the truths of the
science of biometry, the object is the marvel of
the age, and as such it has astonshed all the
actuaries, and wiseacres of life insurance, and
with results confoundng and refuting the de-
auctions of all the mortality tables. and also
demonstrating that life insurance more easily
and more naturally, as well as more certainly
than fire insurance, can be conducted by grad
ing the premiums not according to the age of
the building or the person insured, but accord
ing to its insurable quality, or in the probabil-
ty of loss. To this aspect, the subject before
us has proved of profound interest, wholly in-
dependent of any and all particular lives or
cases.-N. Y. Express 4.
