Upon taking out a policy . premium note is deposited, part of which only is paid in Cash, and the balance held for assessment in case of loss. beyond the cash payments. But it is believed no assessment will ever be called for. There can be no responsibility beyond the amount of the note. At the end of the term the note with the balance unpaid is giv- en up to the maker. In case of loss it is provided that the same shall be adjusted by two disin- terested persons mutually chos en by insured and insurer. If they fail to agree, they shall choose a third party, and their decision shall be final, thus avoiting expensive and tedious litigation.
 The rates have been fixed as low as possible, thus bringing the benefits within the reach of all.

 the excited clamor of public discussion, either in social. political or ecclesiastical affairs. he lacked everything ot being dead or insensible to the great interests of souls, and of our common humanity; and there is little reason to doubt that the gentle pressure of his life, thought and conviction, were unconsciously felt. All these distinctive characteristics were eminently noticeable in his religious life. His public profession of religion was oi comparatively recent date It was about thirty years ago that he united with the Con. gregatio1al church of East Canaan. From that time until the date of his transfer to the Church triumphant, he has been an un- assuming. but faithful and beloved member He was never subject of those higher rap- lures of Christian joy that form so marked and prominent an element in many spiritual lives, but he always gave evidence of deep, ly settled, and firmly fixed faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
 When visited during his last illness, while expressing wish that he might live longer. he never lost sight of the divine supremacy of Gods will, and calmly and devoutly left every interest in Fis hands. The quiet stream of his life had flowed on little be-. yond that mystic boundary line of ''three score years and ten," into that realm of our probationary state where occurs the beauti ftil mingling of mortal shadows with immortal light-where the thickening twilight of death melts peacefully away in streakings of the eternal dawn.
 On Thursday morning at about o'clock the last struggle of mortality yielded to the throbhing ofhis deatlless soul, yearning for it's home in the paradis of God.
 The feeling of the entire community ia, that in his removal, we sustain an actual loss.

BLACK HILLS RAILROADS.


A Washington special 10 The Inter
Ocean of August %, says: 1t will be re-
membered that last winter, when Spot
ted Tail, Red Cloud and other chief
were here, Benton {. Cook, attorney
for the Northwestern railroad. made an
unsuccessful attempt to negotiate with
the Indians for t4lc right Of way across
their reservation from Fort Pierre to the
Black Hills. The chiefs demanded
100000 Of cattle. which demand, after u
good deal of talk. was rejected by the
road, with no intention, however, OF
abandoning the enterprise. They have
at length succeeded in securing the right
OF way desired for a money con,iilerd-
ton, and il has been approved by the
interior department rather reluctantly.
Ii is not thought TO be 4 good thing for
the Indians to allow a railroad To cross
their reservation, for experience has
shown that it brings II dem0ralizing in
tiuonce TO bear upon them. The Union
Paritic il citedas 9 case in point WLan
it passed through tho, reservation of
Pyramid lake the Indians at once be-
camc simply beggars on the trains and
at stations, and nothing could be done
with them. There has been an intense
riAalry between the Milwaukee and st.
fFpRd and the Chicago and North.

skS1 both have received
"A concassId f}yhc Indians, and there
will be seen, 0Nbubt, the fastest cxhi-
bition of track-laying in the race to the
Hills ever witnessed in this country.
1t would seem from the sentiments
expressed by the government in the
above that it would prefer to have the
mobile red men" continue their depre-
dations upon white settlers, rather than
submit them to the demoralizing effect
that q railroad would have upon them.

A TERRIBLE CYCLONE IN SOUTH
WESTERN MISSOURI.
A Destructive Wind Storm in Rock
County, Wisconsin.

On Sunday last n terrible cy-
clone, like the one which made
such havoc here about two years
ago, did great damage to life and
property in the southwestern part
Of Missouri. Marshfeld, q town Of
about eight hundred inhabitants,
was almost entirely destroyed.
Over two hundred persons were
injured, eighty of whom were killed
almost outright. A dispatch from
the scene of destruction says that
Of the eight hundred inhabitants of
comfortable homes seven.eights
were without houses, clothing, food,
or the means to procure them. The
estimated loss by the cyclone is
$35o,000 or 100000. All the BUSH
ness houses in the town of Marsh
iield, together with the stocks, were
completely destroyed. The damage
to farming country in the vicinity
was very great. Tho particulars of
the storm, rs given in the dis
patches, very closely resembles the
particulars Of the one which visited
us in 1873.
On Sunday afternoon the village
of Shoperrie, in Rock county, Wis,
was torn up fcarfully by wind
storm which tagged for two hours.
The adjoining townships Of Turtle,
lial'rairic, Bradford and Johnson
also suffered severely from the
storm. The loss in Rock county
will amount TO about soyenty-fvo
thousand dollars.
