What is Covered by Insurance.

People, when procuring insurance, ass
not particular enough in specifying the
articles they wished covered by fkair
policies of insurance, &C that when q fire
occurs they find the property which
theysupposed was insured has no insnr-
ance upon it. When G. store building Is
insured, the fixtures, fitting up and
counters are not covered by the policy
on tine building, unless specified, as they
are not considered in law part of the
realty. If stock of merchandise il
insured the fixtures, counters, show
cases, stoves, iron Safes scales and weights
are not covered unless specified and q
specihc amount put upon them.
When the contents of @ dwelling are
insured the term :" household furniture
ia very comprehensive one, and includes
nearly everything ordinarily used by a
family in housekeeping, and is now held
to include q pianoforte, although it is
better to have q specific amount upon
it. lis does net, of course, include falniy
wearing apparel or provisions, which
must be named separately, neither dos
it include silverware, paintings, pictures
jewelry, melodeon, books, watches OF
fancy articles, ali of which, to be covered
by the policy, must be named separately
and have specifed amount upon each.
When the contents OF barn are In.
sured, they should be specified, as 20
much on hay and grain, such an amount
on 30 many horses, COWS or oxen, naming
the number, and have the amount speci-
fed that is to be paid on each in case OF
partial loss. When fire occuss and the
sufferer finds that many articles are not
covered by his policy which he supposed
were insured, he eensures the insurance
company or the agents. when the fault
if any, is that he ID not sufficiently ex-
plicit in specifying the property he
desires to get insured.

The Arries

The great egg bird of the North sea is
the arrie, while its southern cousin sup
plies the people of San Francisco with a
liberal quantity Of its gayly-colored eggs
taken from the Faralions;; indeed, the
arrie is the only sea-bird ofseal economic
value to man throughout our whole
northwest and north. 1T is probably
safe TO say that the numbers of these
birds which assemble at ST. George are
vastly greater than elsewhere on the
globe. AS q faint but truthful .stste-
ment of the existing fact, the following
may be said: When the females begin
TO squat continuously over their eggs,
along by the end of June and the first OF
July, the males regularly relieve them,
taking turns in keeping the eggs warm.
Thus they feed alternately, going out to
sea Tor that purpose. This constant going
out and coming in during the day gives
rise, at regular hours in the morning and
evening, to o dark girdle of these birds
flying Just above the water, around
and ayound the island, in an ,entiless

There are now in the penitentiary in
the Ineighborho0d of fifty men who are
sentenced for life. This is about one
hundred per cent. more than were ever
before in tine prison at one time. lit

courts the right to determine whether
a murderer should suffer death or i'm

with Jury which punishment it will
iinfiict alter the accused is found guilty,
and the result Ia, in nine cases out of Ten,
that the death penalty is not enforced.
AT the present rate, in the course of ten
years, there will be men enough who are
convicted Tor life to completely fill the
penitentiary as it now stands. An one
view this will be O calamity to the state,
but in another view it tonght to he con-

vision of the statutes the death penalty
only could he enferced in capital cases,
and the verdict of guilty" was neces

fortunately, 1T was q rare thing that this
verdict was reached, c0n account of the
indisppsiti0n of jnries to infiict the

The Rio Negro, entering the Amazon at
