Church forwarded several boxes of clothing and
bedding to Lawrencehurg. They were sent to
Rev. 8. N. Wilson, pastor Of the First Presbyte

A Curious and Interesting Showing Made
by Very Strong Life Insurance Company
Insurance for Ten Years, Which Was
Profitable to Both the Insurer and the In

In this issue of the Journal is presented q
schedule Of thirty-twO matured TOntine Policies
which were issued to parties in Syracuse and
Auburn, N. Y, by the New York Life Insurance
Company ten years ago, l., e., in 1872. sJt
1t shows results which were realized during
1882, by the parties whose names are given.
The summary presents wonderfully curious
and interesting phase of Life Insurance, being
very plain and concise statement of facts,
showing over S25O,O 900 of insurance carried for
ten years on thirty-twc lives and on various
table rates and ages for apparently considerably
less than nothing. t'F

GRAND oPERA-HoUsE = ROLAND REED IN
CHEEK"
Roland Reed began q half-week engagement at
the Grand last night, to fair audience, in Fred
Marsden's play, "Cheek," which has no further
merit than that it affords Mr. Reed, who is clever
young comedian, an opportunity to display his
peculiar abilities. The play is one of the "Great-
heaven yOu-herei" order, with one of Mr. Mars
denis stock plots, ordinary treatment, and of
no particular originality in any respect Mr..
Reed assumes the part of Dick Smythe,
an energetic young man, whose as
surance Is calculated to make angels
weep. His performance of the part is of such
character as to greatly please an average audi
ence but it's possibilities are so meager that one
regrets that something more elaborate and ar
tlstic Is not required By clever "gagging,"
original business, and new songs, however he
manages to make II 60. In his dialect there is
rather a vivid suggestion of "Mo Jewell" at
times, which makes IL rather funner than 9TH
erwise, The principal member OF the company
is Miss Alice Hastings, who plays part of the
LA Belle Russo order in manner that is SO
srrknely similar to that of Miss Lewis as to al
most justify the suspicion that 1t is an imitation
although Miss Hastings has good repu-
tation as an actress. Miss Bishop,

Miss Charlotte Thompsons "Jane Eyre" has
been so frequently reviewed and always COM
mended in these columns, that no extended men

her engagement at English's last night
to good audience, and the per-

unexcelled, even by Maggie Mitchell, whose
