The DEFINITE CONTRACT first issued in
1877, from the directors office of the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company in Boston,
under the Maine non-forfeiture law, has re-
ceiyed substantial Endorsement by the
Southern Mutual Life Insurance Company,
of Kentucky. which has recently adopted
the plan of the Union Mutual, and will here
after issue similar policy to new insurers.
The Southern Mutual is not new company,
but commenced business in 1866, and has
nearly one million dollars assets, including
a good surplus, and its action indicates that
the efforts of President De Witt to introduce
definite life-insurancc contract, touching
the question of forfeiture, is meeting with
the success it deserves, and its adoption by
other companies shows that the well-con-
sidered and practical reform introduced by
the Union Mutual was demanded by toe in
surfing public, and is necessary to the con-
tinued success Of the business OF life in
surapce.

organ makers claim peculiar quality of

Burdett VS. Estey certainly beats them all.
The latest from the seat of war is that the
plaintiff will, at the coming term of the
circuit court. In this city, on the 25th,
apply for writ against the bodies of Estey
& Co., for contempt OF court in disregard
ing the injunction heretofore granted by
Judges Wheeler and Blstchfori. This will
bring the question squarely to decision,
whether the Esteys are now manufacturing
organs which infringe on the patent, and
will leay. outsiders better able to judge as
to how the case will result. The Esteys
claim that the number Of organs manuiac-
tured before 1874. which infringed on the
patent, was something over 1000, whereas
the plaintiff claims it is nearly twice that
