Elections

The annual meeting of the lothelders OF Oak
Hill cemetery was held at the Office in the eeme-
tery grounds last evening. The president, q. W.
Matthews, occupied the chair, and James GosZler

year were submitted, as follows:
PRESIDENTS REPORT.
To the LofhoiderS Of Oak Hin Cemetery:
In former years the statement of the president,
as adopted by the toard of managers, has con-
tanned Information which should properly have
been given by the secretary and superintendent.
Instead OF this report, which while giving results
has been meagre in details, 1t has been thought
proper (after the manner of other well-ordered
cemeteries) that accounts should be presented by
the secretary showing the financial condition OF
the company, its receipts and expenditures, and
by the superintendent as to the character and
amount of work done within the grounds, and In
formation as to the interments made therein;
each of these reports TO be for the year ending
April so, 1875, and to be much more minute IN
statement than have been such reports IN i0rmcr
years. Such reports are herewith submitted.
The report of the secretary shows that the total
receipts for the year ending April 30 1876, have been
S2T.t OS.39; expenditures and Investments, s4,-
!9l "a: leaving balance in hand of S20ISl5; that
OF SlS5 has been paid, leaving balance unpaid
April 60 1876, Of s3,2l5.Is; that the securities,
amounting at the time Of last report, TO SoI, ,lO.
have been increased by investment during the
year TO 50 20o, making the present amount SO 20
The report Of the superintendent shows that tine
number OF interments during the year enulng
Alril &c. 1876 has been Isl, to which adding the
number reported in former years, j,Sls, SHOWS the
tcial of intermcnts to be $3.50.
This report also gives in minute detail state
ncnt Of the bounding. grading, paving, planting,
distribution of water and other work done during
the year. and is worthy of examination.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES NJ. MATTHEWS,
President.

Life Insurance.

We commend to our readers the card Of A. q.
Gibbs, general agent OF the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance Company Of Hartford. The Con-
necticut N utual is acknowledged on all hands to
be a frst-class company. Its security is beyond
a peradventuIe, willis. by reason Of Its close,
economical management It affords insurance at
the lowest possible cost. Its assets January 1.
1876 were as - S5 ~: surplus all liability,
q per cent. standard yaluation,) t4,Oo4, s5l.s2;
dividend 1875 g, ,54S, 553.Os.
Those wishing insurance will do well to call on
Mr. Gibbs at his office, l429 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. over Mflburn's drug store. Whilst every
man admits the Importance Of making provision
for his family, in the event Of premature death,
all must in these times realize the fact that 10
work for the dimes and save tho dimes is slow
ana very uncertain process; TO work for the pre-
MUM and get the bond Of the old Connecticut
Mutual is a short and comparatively ensy way;
Then, by all means, get Connecticut mutual
bond ss speedily as possible.

An UNUSUAL ASSAULT.
Dragging q Woman to the Insane Asylum.

An unusual case came TO the notice OF the Poiics
Court yesterday. Catherine Brown, white
woman, charged a cOlorcd man named Samuel
Bruce with an assault. The particulars were
that while she was on her way to transact bust
ness with Mr.. LOring, who lives across the East
eTn branch Bruce and another man approached
and inquired where she came from. She told
them where she came from and her destination.
They then charged her with having escaped from:
the insane asylum, at the same time seiZing her
and dragging her by force to that place. The
Court said il was an outrage that such irresponsi
bic persons should seize upon wayfarer and drag
her away by force to the insane asylum, and fined
Bruce slO, making the fine no larger as the man
appeared to he partly eXcusable on account OF his
mcagre stock Of intelligence. The other man
who was arrested, named Williams, was not fully
identified and was DISCHARGED

TURKEY.
Attitude Of England,

LONDON. juno 6.-The Times, in its leading
article to-day, says the English people have
thought a good deal concerning Turkish affairs.
No one can doubt that very earnest feeling has
been aroused. and there is r resolve that Russia
shall not, with impunity, tear up the treaty Of
Paris and renew the aggressive policy which was
interrupted by the Crimean war; but, on the
other hand, there is a deep conviction that no
political interests Of our own should induce US to
disregard the principles Of justice and humanity.
II Russia is the champion Of the Christians in
their aspirations for liberty and civilization she
must prove a formidable enemy to any Power
placing its own advantage in their opposition and
debasement. The Government which does not
communicate this feeling to the Porto will imper-
fectly represent the British, French and Italian
people. We may assume that it will be eOmmu-
nica;ed, and the Porte should be warned that
radical change is the only chance of salvation.
