New Year at the Capitol.

From the Lansing Republican We
learn that on the morning of the new
year it is expected that the Governor, ac-
companied by the Judges of the Supreme
court, will visit the new Representative
hall, where the oath of Office will be pub
licly administered to the Governor and
new state officers. On this occasion it is
expected that all the ex-Governors and
Lieutenant-G will be present, to-
gether with many Michigan pioneers
who have been connected with state at
fairs in years past. Short speeches will
be delivered by some of those present.
At this gathering Detailed report will
probably be made by the state building
commissioners and the capitol building
formally turned over to the Governor and
state officers. No formal, but general
invitation will be extended to civil and
military organizations throughout the
state to be present. 1t is hoped and ex-
pected. that some remarks will be made
by ex Governor Felch, the oldest living
Michigan ex Governor and ex- U. S. Sena.
tor; by Ex-Governor Greenly, who signed
the bill for the establishment of the capi-
tol at Lansing; by Ex-Governor McClel-
land; b. Ex-Governor Blair, the war gov
ernor OF Michigan; by Ex-Governor Bald
win, under whose administration the
new capitol building was commenced;
and by Ex-Governor Bagley, under whose
administration a large part of the work
was done. In the evening a general
public reception will be given from to
10 o'clock, by Governor Croswell at his
rooms in the new capitol. This will not
be formal affair but general invitation
is extended by the Governor to the peO-
pie to call on him at his new quarters

TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. DECEMBER 21, 1878.
0ffioiaIPaper ofthe County and Village
The jackson, Lansing & Saginaw
Railroad,

The Lansing Republican, in comment
ing upon the rumor that the Jackson,
Lansing & Saginaw railroad is soon to
be extended through to the straits, says
"There is one thing certain that there
are great interests depending on the COM
pletion of the road, and it seems as if the
sagacious discernment usually exercised
by the controlling spirits of the Michigan
Central will not be slow in taking hold
of the extension i'm time to more than
place it on an equality with its competi-
tor, the Grand Rapids & Indiana COM
pany. The latter has already pushed its
road TO Crooked lake, where it gets water
communication with Cheboygan. Mr..
Vanderbilt, who holds the controlling
power in the Michigan Central, could not
better advance his Michigan interests
than By the completion of the j.. L. & S.
road at the earliest possible day. Its
present termination is now at Gaylord,
about so miles from Cheboygan, and out
side of few miles OF heavy cut near
Gaylord, the country is favorable for the
construction of road-bed. The most
of the way is through timber Land and
excellent farming country. The COM
pany holds about 10000 acres of land
along the route which must be greatly
increased in value by the building of the
road. An immense trade will be opened
up for the j., L. g. S. if the extension is
made. A lumber territory furnishes a
large amount of traffic not only in the
lumber to be freighted but also in sup
plies to be carried. Again, the travel in a
lumber district is very large, for the pop
ulation is transient. continually coming
and going. The Lake Superior summer
trade is becoming immense. ALI the
pleasure part of the route is at and north
of the straits of Mackinac. and passen-
gers to the upper peninsula would pre-
fer to travtl Ito Cheboygan by rail and
connect with line of steamers from that
point. There seems to be good ground
to expect that the rumOrs of an eXten-
sion are well founded, for Mr.. Wander
bilt cannot afford to let rival corpora
ton step in an pluck fruit which would
naturally fall into his own basket by the
building of 80 miles of road.'

When woman of middle age, large, stout

The Liverpool Daily Post, England, of the
23d of July, says curious and important ex-
pertinent in life insurance was commenced
seven years ago, and the books have just been
made up for that period. The insured were
divided into two classes, and it was optional
with them as to the class with which they
would be associated. There was the general
Glass; and the Especial class" the members of
which consented to observe a certain rule of
life, while the former were subjected to no
conditions. 1t was mutual insurance COM
pany and the profits, if any, were to be divided
among tie surviving members of each class
at the end of the term of seven years.
In the general class the expected deaths were
estimated by the established tables, at 1886,
but the actual deaths were 1868. and no profit
could be divided among the members. The
deaths in the special class were estimated by
the same tables of mortality at 1910, but the
actual deaths were only 745, and the profits
divided among the members of that class were
G62, 1858, equal to $312, $40. The deaths in this
class were one-third less than in the other.
The rule of life by which the members of
this class were bound, was "Eat, drink and be
merry, if you like, but leave alcohol aloness'

covered in the kitchen by the help, and the

portion of the crockery before the entire stfuc-
ture was in ashes. The hotel was built two
years ago at cost of $4,000 by Mr.. Ponce, who
has since run It. He had an insurance of So
200 on The bouse aud furniture. Mr.. Ponce es-
Inmates that he has lost $4,000 over and above
