testable," was paid on the day following
the presentation of satisfactory proofs Of
Mr.. Garcelons death. He was also insured
in other companies, and it is stated that TN
der suspicion of suicide, a post norton ex-
animation of the body was made, and evil
dence of poison found; and consequently |
the payment OF his policies in the other
companies will be likely to be contested |
in the courts. The public will generally |
prefer to insure their lives with company
which keeps its insurance contract after
once having entered into it.-Boston Trav-

"A flag stone IS feet inches long, Is
feet wide and 8 inches thick, that was
quarried at Hlckock's quarry, Barryville
Sullivan county, for William Fl. Wander
bilt,tha arrived in New York and has been
safely laid in front of Mr.. Vanderbilt's new
mansion on Fifth avenue. The stone was
transported to the city in canal boat that
had been specially prepared for its recep-
ton, and on on its arrival there was taken
out on floating derrick, which was taken
to a dock as near as possible to the stones
destination. Then the stone was loaded on
iron trucks prepared expressly for it and
drawn by six teams of horses to its present
resting place. To prevent any possibility
Of cracking by the setting of TIE sand on
which flag stones are generally laid, three
walls Of solid masonry were constructed, on
which the stone rests. The stone is SAID to
be the largest one ever laid, and 1t costs
from $4,000 TO $4,000 to quarry, transport
and lay it.
This is Vennor's latest prediction. He
was induced to make it, although he had
written that nothing more would be heard
from him until October: The weather of
the week commencing Sunday, August IA,
will, IN all probability, be cold and windy,
with showers and heavier rains throughout
Canada and much of the United States 1t
will likely be stormy and unreasonable in
Great Britain and along the northern Brit
ish coast, where gales are likely to con-
tinue for some days. A snow fall is not
improbable fol Mount washington. The
change in the temperature and the weather
generally in the West would seem to indi-
cate that Mr.. Vennor's prediction for this
week will be verified as many of
his former predictions have been.
Sergeant Ray reports decline in the tenn
perature at Leavenworth, Kansas, and other
places, and rain at various places in this
and other states. At Centralia there was
a heavy rain, lasting four hours, and another
good, refreshing rain at Pulaski only few
miles from here, but Cairo and Alexander
county still remain dry.
President Garfield was still alive at
last accounts and his physicians were just
as hopeful as ever of his ultimate recovery.
He rested quietly during the greater part
| of Friday night and ate heartily during
yesterday as he had done for several days
before. While his condition is not as ia
vorable as might be expected and every
| body would wish, yet, if the intelligent
and experienced men who have him in
charge may be believed, he is doing as well
as anyone afflicted as he is could do.
There is yet great danger, of
course, and it IS possible that the
worst fears of the people may be realized
We should content ourselves with the more
hopeful view of the case taken by bis ply
sicians, and should continue to believe that
he will recover, until the actual facts force
us to different conclusion. At present
there is no reason to be drawn from medical
science, why he should not recover. But
Governor Blackburn, of Kentucky, and sew.
eral newspapers choose to take very dis.
couraging, we might say, an unreason-
ably Encouraging view OF the case. While
the governor and the newspapers aforesaid
are preaching the Presidents funeral SER
mon in advance, preparations are in pro-
gress at Washington to take him out on the
