A CREDITABLE ACTIoN.-An interesting
feature of Life Insurance has just come to
our knowledge; and as it involves an ac-
tion contrary to the frequently conceived
impression of Life Insurance Companies,
we deem il worthy Of notice. In 1888
Mr.. Jas F. Nelson of this place, insured
his life for $4,000 in the Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York, intending
thereby to make a secure provision for his
family.
In April last Mr.. Nelson died, after a
short illness, and soon afterwards his Ad-
ministrator presented claim for the
amount of his insurance. Then it was
discovered that in applying for his policy
Mr.. Nelson had made a mistake regarding
his age, and given it one year less than IL
really was. Upon technicality Of this
kind many insurance companies would
have refused TO pay the claim; but the
Mutual Life did not hesitate for amoment.
They merely deducted the amount of pre-
MUM that Mr. Nelson would have been
obliged to pay had his age been correctly
stated and I he balance, Sis72 was hand
ed 10 his Administrator few days since
by Nh Jas. b. Russell, Of Winchester, the
agent of the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany Of New York for this section.

Edinburg Notes.

Mss Lizzie Magruder, of Winchester, is
visiting the Misses lIisey.
Mr.. Jno. w. Miley has improved his
house by building a handsome porch in
front.
Miss Lawson, a blind lady, gave a vocal
and instrumental concert here, ON Satur-
day night last.
The Agricultural Works, Of this place,
are turning out some very fast pedestrians.
One Of them claims TO have made seven
miles from the Mt. Jackson camp ground)
before breakfast, in less time than "Dck'
made 4 quarter Of a mile when hard push
ed.
The lady from this place who is now
visiting in Augusta county, is electriiying
the people of that section with her SPLEEN
did performances on the organ and her
magnificent singing. The singular part
Of this whole matter is that the lady's ac-
complishments in this line were nothing
when she left here, her talent seeming to
he a sudden development, something sim
ilar to Blind Toms, and isprobably owing
to the free access she has to all the organs
and pianos Of the county. On her return
she will probably give some parlor enter
tainments, at which she will render in
magnificent style song composed by her
self, entitled Washed Ont to Sea-" Sc
