A series of burglaries were perpetra-
ted in Montpelier Thursday night. 9Th,
that exceed in audacity anything in that
vicinity for a long time. The thieves en-
tered the house of NJ. d. Gilman on High
street, and relieved him of about $40 in
cash and a valuable gold watch and
chain. 1t is presumed they went from
there down High street, entering L. L.
Durant's house and robbing him of STA
IN money, but leaving his watch; they
entered Fl. A. Huse's, but as yet Mr.. Huse
has missed nothing, he having only a
little embarrassment in finding his clothes,
which had been carefully rumaged. At
Rev. II. F. Hills DIR. w. D. Reid was at
tending patient, and at about 1870 a.
m had occasion to go into the kitchen,
where he discovered boy about So. feet
in height, evidently thieving. The boy
coolly exchanged chances with DR.. Reid,
turned and walked out of the door. A
man unacceptable in the darkness was
waiting outside, and the two went away.
Inc -fODOefS VISITED MT. DeaVlGt on
Middlesex street, but did nothing more
than to air his clothes. Finally at Judge
T. P. Redfield's they took about $40 in
money and the judges gold watch and

discovered, but the work is undoubtedly

JUDGE GRESHAM AND THE
LOTTERIES.

The United States government will
no longer be a partner of the Louis
lana Lottery Company. This is the
meaning of Postmaster-General Ores
ham, decision, which cannot be too
highly commended. A single lottery
company has been permitted for
years to use the mails, while all other
companies are excluded, and the sole
basis of this strange monopoly has
been the claim that this company
was chartered by state, and there
fore could not be considered as a
fraudulent lottery company. The
statues governing registered letters
and money orders declare that they
shall not be delivered OF paid to
fraudulent lottery companies.
The state-chartered company, holding
that it cannot be considered fraudu-
lent, claims as the converse of this
law that it has the right to use the
mails.
The undisturbed exercise of that
right was maintained for several
years in a curious way. Postmaster
General Key forbade the issue of
mail to this company. His order
was approved by the the District
courts, but he agreed to suspend it
until the United States supreme court
should decide upon the controversy.
Then the company, through an I'M
Outstanding with the Solicitor-Gen-
eral, Withdrew the appeal. The case
has never been revived until now.
1t would certainly seem that some in
huence, favorable to the Louisiana
Company, had been at work under
meath the surface in the Washington
departments.
Now the law distinctly declares
that mo letter or circular concerning
lotteries, so-called gift concerts OF
other similar enterprises offering
prizes, shall be carried in the mail.
No state charter can give the right tG
break the laws of the United States.

INSURANCE.

From the annual report Of Oliver Pills
bury, Insurance Commissioner of New
Hampshire, and one of the best in the
country, the following extracts are
made:
1t has become apparent to all intelli-
gent observers that life insurance compa-
MES, honestly organized and conducted,
are the strongest financial institutions
ever devised by human skill. They rest
on mathematical and scientific basis,
confirmed by the experience of centuries.
Within few years, thousands Of the
wealthiest and most extensive business
men have become their liberal patrons,
and never SO many as during the past
year, thus proclaiming that they have
more confidence in these institutions than
in their own business ventures, however
we'll they may promise. This class of
men are carrying policies ranging from
fifty to two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars each.
The time is not far distant when it will
be regarded as the duty Of every man who
has dependents relying on his efforts to
avail himself of the facilities life insur-
ance affords to provide against the con
tingency of death, sooner or later sure to
come. 1t will be regarded as crimina
| negligence to throw these dependents
upon society to take their chances, wher

DAKOTA.

The following extracts from a let
ter written from Dakota by Mrs.
Minnie Merrill to friends in Crafts
bury, will be of interest:
''The surface of the country in
this section is undulating and the
scenery is beautiful. One might
drive all day in one direction without
driving off the prairie turf. Our
house, if it can be called a house, is
II feet square, with the roof slanting
one way. We have one door, which
lacks one board of filling at the bot
tom, so we step over high threshold !;
one half window supplies light, and
our other household conveniences are
in keeping with the above. We
hope, however, to have more roomy
and comfortable home soon, where
we can entertain our friends; but if
any come now we can give them
plenty to eat, and a comfortable
| place to sleep. We have two beds
on one bedstead, make up one and
then build the second one on top OF
that if friends come we lift the toy
one off on to the floor and with spring
and mattress it is fit for a king

change the whole current of life and prove
few persons who might not, with pru-
dence and economy, saving where they
now needlessly spend, carry a policy of
one, two, or three thousand dollars. The
solid comfort the consciousness of such
provision would afford could not fail to
compensate for any privations necessary
to secure it.
The life insurance institution has al
ready grown in this country to enormous
dimensions. Nearly 100000 policies are
now carried, directly interesting more
than four millions of our people. The
assets now held by the life insurance
companies of the United States exceed
the entire national bank circulation by
more than one hundred millions of dol
lars. These companies paid policy claims
in 1881 amounting to S54, IA, 649.00, or
more than $40, 100000 every business day
of the year. In answer to the hue and

putation that they have amounted to less
than one per cent. of the aggregate bns-
mess transactions. What financial insti-
tuition has ever made better record than
this? The Institution was never so strong
financially or in the public estimation as
at the present time. Nearly all this i'm
,mense growth has been accomplished in
! about forty years. This institution has
| already become an indispensable element
| of modern civilization, and it's onward
progress will be accelerated as knowl-
edge is diffused and its benefits come to
be more fully appreciated.
ASSESSMENT LIFE INSURANCE"
The most that can be said in favor OF
this kind of insurance is, that while it is
worse than useless for one who wishes
to make a sure provision for his family
it may prove to be cheap temporary in
surance while the company is new ant
the class young. But. how puerile anC
fallacious are the notices frequently ap
pearing, that Mr.. A. or Mr.. B. has died
and his family has received perhaps $1,000
when he had paid in only fifteen or TWEEN
! ty dollars, perhaps less. This may anC
does happen. But is any one so simpl,
or short-sighted as to suppose the mem
bers may die one after another, and thu
heirs Of each to take out $1,000 when 81
little in each case has been paid in? Wha
this case failed of having paid toward
the $1,000 somebody must make up,
the heirs of each member are to far
alike. No more can be drawn out thai
is paid in, less expenses. 1t is but soph
istry to talk of accessions making up TIL
deficiency. Every accession brings wit
it its own claim to $1,000, so nothing
made up from this source.

nolds, and then again by Engineer
Roberts in 1872, who reports him as
badly dilapidated bird. Reynolds
and Roberts both say it is their be-
lief that this is the same island, nest
and bird as described by Louis and
Clark in 1905. A short distance be-
low the first falls is a mammoth
spring, described by Louis and Clark
as the largest in American, if not in
the world. 1t boils up between large
assures in the rock and falls into the
river with a cascade of eight feet.
It's volume is equal to an ordinary
river, 200 feet wideand two feet
deep. the water, of blush tinge,
can be traced quite distance down
the Missouri. The Rainbow Falls
are four miles below the first and
have fifty-foot fall. The river here
is about 1000 feet wide and falls
over an unbroken rocky rim. Six
miles below are the Great Fall. The
rock formation at the falls is fine,
white sandstone there is a limestone
Gaping right above the falls. The
river here narrows to $50 yards,
passes between cliffs some 200 feet
high. One half of the stream next
to the left bank falls over a success
sion of lodges from ten to twenty
feet. The balance descends perpen-
dicular ninty-siX feet with great force,
sending large clouds of spray high
in the air. If anybody has the courage,
as had your humble servant, to rise
before five o'clock a. m., and walk
up to the cliff of rocks facing the
falls, he will be amply repaid, with
the charming view. One end of a
rainbow can be seen about the CEN
ter of the falls, while the whole basin
!
below is covered with foam and
sparkling bubbles. At eight O'Clock
the curious shaped colors may be
seen in the large body of spray, which
hides like wall the side of the
stream where the river make its
plunge of ninety-six feet. Wher
the water lowers next month there
will be fine trout fishing right below
the falls in the eddies along thu

The Farmers ReVieao publishes an
exhaustive report on the condition of
the crops, based on returns from
over 1000 points in the west and
northwest. A general change for
the better in all the crop prospects
has taken place during the past
two weeks, owing to the cessation of
rains and the advent of hot weather.
Last week the two combined served
ed to- bring forward the late corn and
push on spring wheat and oats. The
weather has been very fine for the
early winter wheat harvest, and the
crop is now going into stock. The
spring wheat and oat crops are un-
usually promising and are both now
assured. 1t is believed that the corr
crop is rapidly coming up to its con
dition in 1882.

Pension Commissioner Dudley be-
lieves that the great increase in the
number of claims entered is due
largely to the increased number of
pension agents who want the ten
dollar fees. The number of attor-
neys who practice before the depart
ment had increased from 1000 to 49,
900 since the last law was passed.
1t is possible that the increase in the
number of claimants is partly due
to their increasing age. There are
many men who suffer more or less
disability from service in the army
and many. widows who have beer
able hitherto to care for themselves
but who find with increasing age
that little help from the govern
ment, if it can be obtained, would b.
