iDuring this struggle to repel the in

sion the seeds of Independence we're
first sown in the minds of colonial
patriots. They meet together,
through their delegates in 1774, and
assumed the powers of separate
government, chose their own officers
and adopted CERTAIN rules of proceed

under the authority of the people, sGtr
ing directly in their primary and

government, which was appropriately
styled the !" Revolutionary Govern

heavy storms, which came several morn
ings just in season to keep the pupils
at home. Nevertheless the attendance
has been good for the time Of year, be-

corresponding month of last year.
The number of different pupils enroll

At the middle of the year some
changes were made in the course of
study and in the classification of the
schools, rendering our graded work more
elastic, so that we are better able to ac-

LOCAL NOTICES.

THE Connecticut Insurance officials gave no
tice last week of the insolvency of the Charter
Oak Life Co. 1t is remarkable fact that
while several of the "old line companies" have
failed, the Iowa Life, of KeOkuk, appears to
prosper in proportion, and gain the confidence
of the people also, as its 4th annual report,
through State Auditor Sherman, verities. The
secret of its success may be attributed to the
fact that they give insurance at its actual cost
and require payments only after being due
This latter plan removes the cause of tempta-
ton from the officers to swindle the policy-hOl-
ders, and it also prevents them from entering
into any speculation which would cause their
failure. John Sexton acts as agent for the
Company in this city and county. He states
that he can convince any person that the ex-
pense to carry insurance in the Iowa Life since
it's existence has not been over One-fOurth of
what old line companies demand, and to guar
antee such statements he can offer as proof the
receipts of several policy-holders here, who
have been insured for over years. Tho Iowa
Life confines its business to Iowa. 1t is con-
Quoted by men of good financial standing and
remarkable ability, and it deposits its securi-
ties of 100000 with the State Auditor for the
protection of its policy holders.

Military Premium.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The Directors of the
Buchanan County Agricultural Society
at their last meeting, June 10Th, resolv-
ed to offer premium for the best exhi-
bition of military drill by any company
in this State In order to induce mum
Der OF companies to attend at our Coun-
ty Fair and to display their proficiency
in the manual of arms and evolutions in
drill, the Society offers premium
amounting to 500, as follows: To the
best drilled company, $50; to the second,
$50, and to the third, $40.
At least four companies must enter

ed. The companies will have to be on
the ground on the second day of the
fair from 3 to o'clock p. NJ, and on
the third day from 10 to II o'clock A.
NJ. The drill will probably take three
quarters of an hour each day. The
judges will be selected from the old sol
diers of the county.

The Fourth mt Manchester.

As per previous arrangement, the In
dependence Steamer Co. and lndepeu-
dence Guards visited Manchester on the
4th to participate in the celebration in
that city. They left this city about 8
A. NJ. and at about 90 o'clock arrived at
their destination, where they were re-
ceived by the Manchester Fire Depart
ment, and welcomed to the Inequalities
of the city in brief speech by Col. S.
G. Van Anda, President of the Man
chester Reform Club. The procession
was thus formed and marched to the
city, where the several companies dis
banded until II o'clock, when the line
was again formed and marched through
the principal streets to the grove. Then
came the bountiful dinner, which the
hungry multitude disposed of in truly
creditable manner. After dinner came
orations, toasts, music, etc, which were
delivered by some of the leading citizens
of Delaware county The trial of en-
gines was next announced. which took
place, and resulted in a victory for the
Independence machine, which threw a
solid stream of water full forty feet be-
yond that thrown by the Manchester
engine. At 7 o'clock drill was given
by the Independence Guards. which,
however, was cut short by the arrival of
the train which was to convey the boys
home The excursionists arrived here
at 9:45 p. NJ, in good spirits, though
rather worn by the exertions OF the day.
All voted the excursion to have been a
pleasant one, and the kind Inequalities
received at the hands of the good people
of Manchester will long be remembered.
IF we are correctly informed, and we
presume we are, the result of the engine
trial at Manchester on the Fourth, was
a victory for the Clapp 4 Jones steamer
of this city over the Silsby steamer of
Manchester. If we except the ephemer-
al feeling of gratifed rivalry that be-
longs to the victorious company, the to-
tai and the solid fruits of the contest go
for the benefit of the Clapp & Jones
manufacturing company and incidentally
to the parties, if any who put up money
on the result and won This being the
case we insist that the manufacturers
are bound in strict justice to pay some
thing for this splendid advertisement of
their wares, and suggest that it would
not be preposterous or eXtravagant de-
mand for our city authorities or the
steamer company to ask them to come
down with something handsome there
