The State Treasurer Missing-Hfs Ac-
 counts Short By Several Hundred Thousand DolIars-A Reward Offered for His Arrest.
 MONTGOMERY, Jan. 31.-The examination of the books and accounts of State Treasurer Vincent, who left the city last Monday night, has thus far shown deficit of between $225, 900 and $500, 900. A letter has been recieved from the defaulter in which he ad- mits that he is behind and says he is going to New York to get money which he inti- mates that he has lent. It is known, how ever, that he has been speculating largely in cotton futures.
 The defaulting treasurer Vincent disap- peared Monday night. He is feet 10 inches high, has brown hair and beard with mustache is very neat in dress has scar on his forehead and very bad teeth. Telegrams have been sent to the police of all the large cities and the Governor offers 8 large reward for his capture.
 Governor O'Neal sent the following special messages to the Legislature to day:
 To the Senate and House of Representa- tives :-
 It becomes my painful and mortifying duty to inform you that Isaac H. Vincent, the treasurer of the State, is short in his account and has left the city. This fact was made known by Mir. Vincent in the following note to A. D. Crawford, clerk in his office, dated the 29th instant, which was received by Mir. Crawford on the afternoon of the 29th in- stant, and was communicated to me at 8:30 p. m. that day.
 TREAsURER's DEPARTMENT,
 MONTGOMERY, Jan. 29, 1883
 Dear Crawford-I find this evening that my money is not here nor has it been paid to the Importers ana straighten out the whole matter. have perhaps of run iDG committee, and after 8 balance has been obtained Wolf, New York. If anything happens to me wish to state emphatcally and positively that being be- Csignedl J. H. VINCENT.
 The amount of Vincent's dedication can only be ascertained after @ careful examina- tion of the treasurer's books and careful count of the money in the treasury, but a hurried and partial investigation indicates that it is more than $2OO,OOO. It is not known by what train in what direction Vincent left Montgomery. Means have been adopted to intercept and detain him if possi- ble. It is believed that the State is largely secured against an ultimate loss. The two houses will have communications delivered to them from time to time of further infor- nation that comes into my hands.
 Signed, E. A. O'NEAL, Governor.
 The large sums Vincent sent to Fred Wolff, of New York, are supposed to have been on account of dealings in cotton. Vim cent also did business with other cotton houses in that city He sent yesterday to the treasury by a member of his family $15, ,O0O in checks which he had collected few hours before leaving.
 PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 31.-The chief of police to night received despatch from the governor of Alabama giving full description of Treasurer Vincent, and saying that the Legislature would offer large reward for his capture.

This Company has hitherto restricted its business healthy portions of the United States, chiefly at the North and West. The ComEany proposes to adhere to policy which has wrought results satts factory shown in the foregoing statement.
 The reasons therefor stated in the following Extract frOm the Annual Report of the
 Mutual Life Insurance Company
 of New York.
 The question is sometimes asked why the Mutual Life Insurance Company dees not extend the sphere it's operations to foreign countries This inquiry indeed generally from residents of such coun tr1es who desire to share in the which 1n in this company affords. While 1t is alleged other companies deem 1t for their interest to ex tend their business to the West Indies Central and South America and to remote and insalubrtous coun tries this company has reason to change its action regard the of territory in which the business life insurance may be safely conducted by a company of this State.
 The objections to the extension of its business to foreign countries chiefly these: That it has not appeared to equitable to introduce into mutual company risks lives exposed to especially deleterious climatic influences, the effect Of which would be to impair the equilibrium which ought to prevail among all the members Of company, where reciprocAton of hazard and of advantage should be ruling principle.
