Nothing could be more satisfactory in
itself, or more reassuring as to the revived
condition of life insurance in this country, than
the statement elsewhere presented by the
Equitable Life Assurance Society. This
company's record has been one of uniform
progress and prosperity, but this latest eX-
hibit is even more emphatic than usual IN
these respects. The company's assets fall
&C inundated in the brief period Of twenty
years) now reach $37 1856, S42-an increase of
50, 100000 during the past year. Its surplus
aye over all liabilities is $7,5l5, 400--a gain
Of moro than $60O,00 in 1879, and equal to
Sl25 for every 500 of liability. This IL GER
tainly a remarkably strong exhibit and sur
passes ANYTHING ever done before by life
insurance company only twenty years old.
The new business of the Equitable last year
reached SIG, 500000-an Increase OF Si,O0O,-
600 upon the figures for 1878, and fully justl-
flying the hopeful opinions and predictions we
have often expressed touching the improved
condition of life insurance business. Dur
ing the past year the Equitable has declared
ali its policies indisputable after three years,
and BY clause in all ordinary policies
liberal surrender value in paid up insurance
is guaranteed, thus obviating tue old fear OF
forfeiture. A special feature has been tho
"Tontine Savings Fund" plan of insurance,
whose results have proved extremely popular
and protltable-some Of the policies maturing
this year receiving cash returns equal often
to the total premiums paid, ana in some
eases even more.

Such is tho establishment Of Buflum y
Stacy Just removed from their old stand next
to the Herald Office, to number OH Main
street. These gentlemen are but new corners
to Dallas, but they have done an exceedingly
large trade since they have been here, much
beyond their expectations, and they have
dane this because Of the excellent quality OF
their wares and the low price at which they
sell. They deal in oil paintings and chro-
mos in silyerwsre and jewclry in willow fan
CIV goods: picture frames and mouldngs;
brackets and parlor ornaments, bric.a-brac;
TOYS, mirrors, etc. They have al extensive
line of these goods-all choice, handsome
and valuable. Their silyerwarc, plated and
solid, is of the latest styles and fashions; i is
artistic, all of il, in design an finish, and IS
being sold at marvelously low rates-lower,
in fact, than il can be bought elsewhere in
the State; and this is true, also, OF their jew
elry, their pictures-all their goods. They
have thrown the two stores where they. now
are into one the dividing partition being
made into arches, splendid y finished in oaken
panneling and carving. The whole place
Is elegantly papered, calsomined and fres-
coed, and Is il itself a fitting temple for the
rare and artistic handiwork there to DO
found. Mr.. Frank Austin, the jeweler, so
we'll and favorably known in Dallas and
throughout North Texas as skillful and
reliable workman, can be always found with
Buffum & Stacy, where he will DO pleased
to meet his many friends. Before closing
this notice il ia proper to say that Messrs-
Buffum h Stacy have como TO Dallas to stay,
that they guarantee all their goods to be just
what they saw, and they topc by fair dealing
and prornptness to build up good trade.

The meeting held at Lancaster yesterday,
although not largely attended, was enthusi-
sstic, and the gentlemen present. yho before
had subscribed literally, incred FED their
amounts, sggregating over two' thousand
dollars. Messrs. McFarlin and Whitehead,
from ovilla, spoke confidently of raising at
least four or five thousand dollars in their
town and vicinity. Major Tompkns, in be-
half of Dallas, subscribed five thousand dol
lars Of the amount asked, trusting to the gen.
erosity of our people to contribute that
amount in addition TO what they had already
given. There can be no doubt nov that the
sum required will be secured to run the road
by way of Lancaster and Ovilla, aud that the
trustees chosen will be in this city on next
Saturday TO enter into contract with the
compaiiy. When this is accomplished work
will be AT once commenced on the road.
