More than 20 years ago, three children,
two brothers and sister, aged 10, and 8,
were left orphans in a small village in New
York State. Being without relatives and
pennless, they were adopte into different
families, the Oldest boy remaining in his
native place, while the others were taken
to different parts of the country, and final
ly all three lost track of each other. Last
year, the oldest having prospered and be-
come rich received news of legacy from a
distant relative he had never known, 10 be
divided between the three if living, and de-
termined 10 seek his lost brother and sister.
A long series of active Investigations have
been successful, and the surprising point
in the story is that the younger brother,
who had also prospered, had been living
for two years a widower with two children,
and during all the time had his only sister
in his employ as his housekeeper, without
knowing it, the two having adopted the
names of their foster parents. This is a
true romance of real life.

said that when the commission first enter

quiet-looking man was seen sitting in one
corner. He was asked 10 leave, but urged
the importance of his business as an ex-
cuse for remaining. Finding this of no
avail, he turned toward the commission
aud cried: "Gentlemen, gentlemen, one
moment, beg. demand as right under
your own rules, that shall be allowed fif-
teen minutes to argue proposition, which
lwish to submit, for compromise on
Charles Francis AdaTs." The stranger
was then taken in charge by the cores

with whom no appeared TO be acquainted.

We learn that Mr.. Smiths total loss in
the burning Of his children's carriage shop
is estimated 10 be between $1,000 aud $4,000.
In addition TO the insurance of $4,000 on the
buildings and machinery, in B. II. Jenne's
agency, the stock, which was total loss,
was insured for $1,000 with Cudworth and
Childs in the Atlas of Hartford. The SAL
wage on the dry house and machinery was
$500, so that the total insurance which MIR.
Smith receives is 5000. The companies all
paid their losses promptly.
