NEXT Monday, being New Years day and the commencement Of a new year, is not only important for that reason but it derives additional importance from the fact of it's being the first day of a new cen tury of the Republic. The old century, sacred with the war Of the revolution, the war Of 1872, the Mexican war and the war or the rebellion, mot to mention the daily domestic brawls in which every married man is more or less engaged the greater portion Of his time,) has passed away. A new century opens with next Monday. It IS therefore more than ever incumbent upon we'll intentioned people generally to enter upon new VOWS and pledges Of re. form. Because as these New Years vows are always kept, those making them now can not only do so for day or the year 1877, but for a whole century at one dread swoop. So on Monday next, when you are registering your determination 10 ab- stain from intoxicating fluids, tobacco, lying, gossiping and chewing gum, just add the words "duringthe century ending 1877" instead Of "during the year lS77, and you wi.I have the whole thing fixed and may feel safe for an hundred years to come.

THE regular village election for filling the offices Of the municipal government takes place here next Tuesday. AS these elections do not involve any very fat of nces, (excepting the mayoralty and it's perquisites,) and as the voters are there fore left free from solicitation, selfish in- terest or undue pressure, there Is no good reason why our best men should not be chosen to fill the offices. Ifthey will take them. They are honorable offices but we are too poor to make them lucrative. Nev- .ertneless it is as important that they be well administered as if they were very lu- crative and we were very rich. Therefore if good citizen will come forward and serve the community in any of these very necessary offices, by all means let us hon. or him with our votes and reward him with our gratitude. So shall we wax great and live securely and happily.

WE took occasion, the other day, to
commentupon the causes of our business
depression. and argued against the COM
mon notion that our business depres-
sion and failures are attributable to the
condition of our currency. This view
that we then expressed is confirmed by
recent statistics, showing that in Cali
fornia, where business has been con-
Quoted on a coin basis, the failures have
been one in every torty-two. In Cam
ada, on a coin basis, the failures have
been one in every twenty-eight. While
in the States, on our currency basis, the
failures have been only One in eighty-two,
of our business houses. 1t will not do to
charge all the evils that our business has
suffered upon our greenback currency.

An Interesting Point in Life Insur-
ance,
From the New York World.l


The suit OF Myra A. Wheeler against
the Connecticut Mutual Insurance Com
pany was brought to recover upon two
policies OF insurance on the lite OF john
q. Vose, and presents u new and inter-
esting feature In the law OF forfeiture i,
rne TWO policies, one for VI 900 and the
other for $40, 900, were issued Octouer 2B,
1859. On November 4, 1872, Nose assigned
them 10 his teur minor children, OF
VIII IN he was general guardian up TO the
time Vt mis- death. He paidlthe premium
for three years, ending IN 1872. On Jan
uary /, 1873, the Company deciarea a
dividend out OF its surplus earnings,
whereby the holders of these two policies
we're entitled 10 $2l0. BY clause in The
pelieies they were yoided by non-pay-
ment of premium when due. The S2lO
dividend was not paid over, and was in
The Company's possession October %,
1878, when the last premiums Oh policies
were due. Before this, Voss became in
sane, and was unable to attend TO pay
ing these premiums although possessed
OF sufficient funds, both OF his own and
of his children. The Company demarred
to the complaint stating these facts
Judge Larfemore, in Supreme Court,
special term, yesterday held thai the
clause in tine policies iDsuring the de-
ceased during The term Of his natural life,
being inserted before the condition as to
payment OF accrued premiums,a "a non-pay-
lnent OF premiums would not void the
policies ii the breach Of the condition
resulted from causes beyond human
agency and with reference to which the
parties are supposed TO have contracted.
Judge Larremore cites case where
sickness was held to be an act of God
and a valid excuse to prevent a forfeit
ure, and heids that in this case, Mr..
Vose being bereft ofreason and inability
and omission not being caused by has
own act, 1t would be harsh and inequit-
able to distinguish between this case
and the other. Insanity which destroys
all mental capacity he holds TO be no less
consideration than physical disability
to avoid u forfeiture, and appeals with
equal force for equitable reiief eI riqore
juris. He therefore gives judgment ior
the plaintiff.
