Your attention Is invited to a certain
class Of lie insurance companies, more
iatniliarly known as Graveyard" or
Death Rattle" companies. These c0mpa.
MES have gained considerable notoriety In
some Of the adjoining States by reason Of
the character Of the risks taken and the
crimes committed to enable tho holders Of

attention has lately been given to the sub.
lect by the Insurance. Commissioners OF
Pennsylvania, In which State these eotRpa.
mics have gained foothold. An effort Is
being made in that State to have the

A Du.la,rellks Dosums4t, showing the Condition
@tAs Affairs Of The Commonwealth, and
Pointing Outths Legislation Required
for rrs.sat and future Needs.

Governor ]. B. jackson transmitted the
following message to both houses Of the
Legislature yesterday
GtnQmen Of he Senate and HouH Of Dele
gates:
The Constitution tthe State requires the
Governor, ut the commencement OF each
session, 10 give to the Legislature iniorma'
ton by message 0i the condition Of the
State, and 10 recommend for It's Considera-
tiOn such measures Us he shall deem expe.
dent.
In compliance with tho provision re-
quiring information to be given us to the
condition Of the State, It affords me much
pleasure to say that tile general condition
oil the State Is satisfactory; that we are
gradually increasing in population and
wealth, and that our progress in develop
ing our material interests is very crafty
ing,
Possessed MS we are Of an almost mex.
haustible supply Of coal and iron, together
with other valuable mineral deposits, It Is
only necessary to open these mines Of
wealth to make eur State one OF the most
prosperous States Of the Union.
But our wealth does not consist alone in
our mineral deposits. We have also an
abundance Of the finest timber; add tothis
u satubrious climate, with generous soil
ADAPTED to the raising OF most Of the agri.
cultural products, and our State presents a
field for the enterprising settler such as is
presented by no other.
II only needs the fostering care OF the
Legislature in the enactment Of saluta-
ry laws, thus inviting immigration and de-
veloping our mining and manufacturing
interests, to materially increase our wealth
and influence.
A portion Of the State during the past
season, suffered from prolonged drouth,
materially diminishing the agricultural
products Of such localities; the other por.
lions, however, were blessed with an
abundant harvest, SO that the aggregate Of
farmingproducts is not much less than the
average Of previous years.

noted in Europe for peculiarities of costume or
any form of extravaganza have not most honored
