Tough VOYAGES.

All steamers coming hither from Europe
III the past two or three weeks have had
rough weather, and of a half score Just
reaching New York stories of great perils
are told. The Malta, which came to Bos-
ton yesterday, nineteen days out from
Liverpool, reports series of terrific gales
and heavy squalls. On November 27 she
shipped a sea which swept the vessel fore
and aft, and dashed two men against the
bulwarks, killing them Instantly. The
boatswain, ]. Heron, was thrown to the
deck and had a leg broken, and was other
wise severely injured. The vessel had
two boats, stanchions and rails stove in,
and sustained other damage.

COllapsing.

The graveyard insurance companies of
the state are in a fair way of tumbling
over at the blast of the ram s horns from
the Office of the states law officer. The
proceedings of the attorney general
against I he State Capital have shown
what has been long suspected Of it and
of its kind, that the revenues from its
dupes were absorbed by its officers, and
that the whole rotten concern must soon
collapse. The company at Hanover,
which has been cutting wide swath
and has made many thousands Of dol
lars, NEST of its gains being pocketcd by
a ring Of operators, like Capt. Smiths
coon came down before being shot ut,
and confessed its willingness to dissolve
forthwith, without further exposure ;
and us its dissolution was the aim of
the officials it mad to be agreed
to. The State Capital, however,
and other companies are likely to
make enough resistance to have the
whole scheme of graveyard insurance
fully exposed and effectively scotched.
Since the exposure some time ago of the
prevalence of the murderOuS design to
hasten the death of aged and inlirm per-
sons, 50 that the insurer should speedily
get the profits of his speculation in hu-
man life, that branch of The business has
been generally abandoned. For the past
six months the business of these cOmpa-
nies has been chiefly to turn out policies
without limit to their number, rcaping
their harvest of gains in the fee; paid,
and i'm the speculation of officials and
agents in selling these policies TO gullible
people who fancy them worth their face
value ut the deaths of the insured, which
in most cases appear To be imminent.
The truth is it is Ecycr expected to pay
them. The number OF policies written
is SO vast, and the assessments upon them
would bc so numerous. that it would Cost
more to keen one of them up, even il is
sued and taken in good faith, than to
winter Il white elephant, and it would bc
more useless in the end. The companies
and agents aim simply to write and sell
their policies; in mine-tcnths of the spec.
ulative companies they are worth moth
ing, and the only money ever seen or
realized, is in the fees originally secured
10y secretaries, directors and agents.
Lancaster county has not suffered us
heavily as some of its neighbors, but
there have been /; good many of these
policies hawked around the streets of this
city and traded for in the northwestern
part Of the county, where some of the
men engaged in it have only added dis
reputc to Il disreputable business.

Slight Fires.

Yesterday afternoon between three and
four o'clock, there was an alarm of fire
caused by volumes of smoke which issued
from the residence of Henry Schmidt, on
Manor street. AS none of Mr.. Schmidt's
family were at home at the time, neigh
bors broke into the house to see what
was the matter. They found that 4 guam
tity of kindling wood had been placed in
the oven of the cook-stOve to dry, and
that brisk fire in tho crate of the stove
had ignited it. A few buckets of water
sufficed to put out the fire before the ar
rival of the fireman. The loss is but slight.
At an carly hour this morning small
frame shed on the rear Of the lot belong
ing to Mrs. Swilkcy, corner Of Woodward
and Christian streets, was set on fire and
burned down. A few chickens pcIished
in the flames. The loss is slight, and
covered by insurance.
