WHAT is to become of life insurance if the
companies engaged in it 60 on failing through
weakness or tIickery, as several have already
GGue? Where will it end? No doubt, just
where it should naturally and properly do, in
the wedding out of the unworthy ones and in
the greater strength and permanence of those
remaining. Already the strong companies are
one by one detaching themselves from the ag-
gregate and asserting their strength and sta
blity, and each newcomer increases public
confidence. The old Charter Oak, of Hartford,
claims the notice of our readers today with its
twepty-seventh annual statement, whose elab-
GRATED details will be found of interest.

SUNDAY SCHOOL ENTERTAINM ENT.-A very
instructive and amusing exhibition of magic,
accompanied by full verbal explanations and
closing with series of beautiful feats of dex-
terity, was highly enjoyed by the pupils and
friends of the First Parish aud Park street SUE
day schools last evening at Fraternity Hall.
The performer and lecturer was Mr.. Geo. H.
Pray, formerly resident of Portland, and an
assistant of Profs. Anderson, Heller and 9TH
ers. Although the character of the entertain
meDt was not previously understood, being diff
fcult to describe, the large audience present
was most agreeably astonished. Mr.. Pray not
only explained many of Anderson's most won
derful tricks but showed skill in tossing balls,
balancing. twirling plates, &c, equal to any
one we have witnessed.

SAVINGS BANK BLocK.-The Savings bank
block which was injured by fire last winter is
to be repaired early this spring. The block
will be carried up full four stories high wit h
a pitch roof to take the place of the French
roof burned. A handsome gable will orna-
ment the end next the Post Office. The
Masonic bodies have leased apartments in the
block for term Of twenty years. In addition
to the rooms to be occupied by them in the
upper stories they are to have large banquet
hall above all, similar to that Of the Odd
Fellows in Farrin ston block.

SAccARAPRA.-The closing concert of GU,
lecture and concert course brought together a
full and enthusiastic audience Monday eve

talent did the whole thing, and that it was
we'll done seems to be the unanimous opinion
The Male Glee Club, assisted by Miss Ella
Bracket, soprano, and Miss Hattie Brown,
pianist, gave the first part of the programme
Both the ladies and the club were most heartily
encored To specialize would take more of
your space than you would be willing to grant
1t is enough to say. that the feeling is genera
that our home talent does not compare unfa.
vorably with that of the city so far heard from

The SUNDAY PAPER.-Last Sunday morning
considerable number of the boys who have
been in the habit of selling the Sunday Times
on our streets were unpleasantly surprised by
being arrested by the police and taken to the
station. 1t is said that this was done by order
of City Marshal Bridges, who says he was act.
ing under instructions from Mr.. Fessenden,
Their Mayor. There can be no doubt but that
Sur !ay paper is great convenience to our cit
liens and is one of the luxuries pertaining to
every community populous and intelligent
enough to support it. 1t is also obvious that
the only method of supplying the patrons of
the paper is by means of newsboys. 1t would
certainly T. a great hardship to deprive our
citizens Of a morning paper so excellent and
well managed in all points as the Times. 1t is
great hardship too, to ruin the business of so
worthy and deserving gentleman as its editor
AMI proprietor, who is honestly and efficiently
trying to make his pa! er useful and interesting
TO the public and is always ready to do any
thing in his power TO prevent it from becoming
in any way nuisance. He will forbid the
boys from crying the paper on the street after
haf-past nine, the time for the opening of the
morning church service. Prior to that time it
seems suitable enough to sell the paper, as pa
pers are sold in every other town large enough
to maintain them. We must have a care lest
our city become So very virtuous as to be unin
habitabe.
