The impression that Packard will ac-

cost him his fortune, and it is asserted
that he is now very poor man. When

Tbe Charter oak.

Last week was solemn season for those who continued to put faith in Furber. Wiggin. and the Charter Oak Life Ins. Go. First came the news that the Univer- sal Life Ins. Co.,, of New York, of which Furber is manager, was in trouble, with every prospect that receiver would be appointed. The same curious contract with Furber for enormous percentages, aud the same purchases of real estate at exaggerated prices marked the condition of the Universal which the Special Con- mission had disclosed in his relation with the Charter Oak. Then the Charter Oak people came forward with proposition that certainly did promise something like reform. Messrs. J. G. Patterson, Mar. shall, Jewell. Ebenezer Roberts and AL van P. Hyde were to assume the direction of the company, and do the best they could for it's policy holders. Mir. Batter son was to be the new president. but before committing himself to such an undertak- ing, he made preliminary examination of the condition of the company, to see if it could really be saved by sound and hon. est management. After an examination of several days, however, Mir. Patterson peremptoriiy declined having anything to do with the cohcern. and the other gentle men named took like view of it's condi- ton. Mir. Patterson arrived at his de- cision on Friday afternoon, and on Satur- day afternoon Commissioner Stedman signed petition for the appointment of a receiver of the company. A temporary injunction was granted by Judge Pardee. and the time for full hearing has been announced as Tuesday next.
 There seems to be little doubt that the condition of the company is in reality worse than it was represented by the Special Commission. Tn their report wherever there was doubt, the company had the benefit of the doubt; and the papers now estimate that the assets of the
