Prompt PAYMENT,

The late Jos. E. Miller held policies in several
of the leading Life Insurance Cos. The Penn Mu-
tual of Philadelphia was the first to make pay
ment They did this without waiting go or 80
days as some other companies insist upon doing.
The policy of Mr.. Miller in the Penn was issued
in 1882 for 81 900 and the amount paid by him
in premiums was only S7648. This is a good ex-
ample of the value of life insurance in an old re-
liable company like the Penn. The General
Agent of the company for this section is A. M.

OBITUARY..
HARVEY MCALLASTER.

Harvey McAllaster died in Stowe, vt. Sep. goth.
1886. The seventy-five years of his life were
spent in this town. He was one of those Yer
mont farmers who by their intelligence and vir-
tues have given dignity to their occupation, and
have won for it universal respect and admiration
throughout his life he was diSintereStedly de-
voted to whatever promised to promote the gen
eral welfare. He lent his undivided influence to
the antislavery cause from the beginning of the
movement, and in his later life he reioiced in the
opportunity to express an equal zeaIfor nobler
freedom by vote for prohibition. He consist
entity performed his political duty. and while his
course in this regard may have debarred him
from hOnors that are ignObly gained, such was
his kindness of heart and charity of temper that
none ever spoke i'll of him, and all esteemed and
many loved him. He was for fifteen wears a trus-
tee of the Town Library, and the purity and ex-
cellence of this collection of books is due in no
small measure to his constant care. He was the
teacher of the same class in the CONGREGATIONAL
Sunday School for about twenty-five years. Pur-
ity of life and wide and profound familiarity with
the Bible made him an able and beloved instruc
tor. He made confession of his religious faith
more than half a century ago. In his early life
he was an esteemed and hOnored member of the
Free Will Baptist Church. When that church
became extinct he cherished its memory for a
time, and then feeling the need of a Christian
home he joined the Congregational Church.
Twenty-Five years of Christian fellowship here
endeared him to his associates, so that his loss
seems without repair. He was an earnest, de-
Vout, good man, who served God and lived for
eternity, Two years ago he was permitted 10
celebrate his golden wedding. Mrs McAHaster,
a son and four daughters survive him. -.
