THE Insurance Commissioner of Ma
ryland, in his report just issued, alleges
that it is among "mixed" life insurance
companies that every disaster to the
business has taken place in this country
since 1865. In view of the reinsurance
of so many mixed" companies, the
report suggests that Legislatures should
take into consideration the propriety cf
compelling the retirement of the guar
antee of the "mixed life insurance com
panies." Repeated and rigid examina
tons are required of the Department,
and will be strictly enforced.

Mrs. Deremer's Perplexities After
; the Death Of Her Husband.


On the 9th Of November, 1873.
Wilber 7. Deremer. Of Detroit died,
leaving his family destitute. His Wild
ow, unable to meet the necessary flu
neral expenses, appealed to some of
her late husbands relatives in Davish-
hmgh. Through their intercession. f..
u. Murgiltroyd, OF that place, fur
nished coffin, and the remains were
buried in Davishburgh. On the 3Oth
Of NOvember--the day Of the funeral
the undertaken came to Detroit. and
caused to BIZ seized the personal effects
Of Deremer, TO secure payment for the
coffin. etc.
Mrs. Deremer not long afierwar,l
moved to New York and found en-
ployment, and has been eversince that
time saving little by little sufficient
means to have her husbands remains
disinterreL and removed to New York.
n few DAYS ago she came to Detroit
and asked ME how to GO to work to
attain her object. gave her the nec-
cessary directions, and she went to
Davishburgh and had the body taken
Up and placed in 4 heavy box for the
purpose Of rem"vingit. lust rs the
labore:s were about to lift it into u
wagon to take i. from the burial
ground to the depot. Constable Jim
Campbell, armed with Il writ OF at.
tachment. seized lone box with coffin
and corpse Such was the language
Of the writ which had been sued out
by Murgiltroyd. The sheriff took it
away and put it in the upper part of a
building owned by Murgiltroyd.
The widow returned to Detroit and
laid the case before Mr.. George Collier
and myself. and we resolved to see her
through. l took a letter from Mr..
Collier to Justice Beach. Of Pontiac,
and laid the case before him, and at
my suggestion he issued writ of re-
plevin for the body, box and casket.
The document was placed in the hands
of trustworthy officer, whom / ac-
accompanied to Davisburgh. We
found that we sought in loft,
served the writ, and took possession.
1t was an awful job to get the box
down. as Deremer was a man who
weighed $50 pounds when living, but
with the assistance of half dozen
villagers. to whom l appealed after re-
lating the facts in the case. We accom-
plished our object and brought the
body to Detroit !; and az Mrs. Deremer
had spent all Of her money. took. her
right to my house. On Friday / went
down to the Canada Southern offices,
told Frank Shaw. the General Passen-
ger agent Of that road, substantially
what / have told you. and he gave her
a pass for herself and her husbands
body to New York.
