A very decided whirl Of excitement was
created on the streets Monday last, when
it became known 60 the pubic, that some
parties had formed a syndicate and had
purchased a controlling interest in the
stock of the Valley Mutual Life Insurance

action had been so quietly and quickly
done, thai not even the Directors of the
Association nor the holders of the stock

but was entirely satisfactory 10 the pur-
chasers. All kinds Of rumors were aiioat
as to the future movements Of the pur-
chasers bar their counsels have been well
kept, and nothing dtfllGe is known as to
their purposes. The rumoI that the
Inter States had purchased the stock, has
no foundation in fact, and as some CT oul
shrewdest business men are interested in
the purchase. we take it that the interests
Of the Valley Mutual will be promoted by

Fire,

Yesterday morning about 10 O'Clock, a
double tenement house situated i'll Baptist
Alley, belonging to Arthur Fenable and
Robert Boxley, and occupied by the own
erg, was burned to the ground. But
little of the household fprnlture was
saved. The loss was about 5000, upon
WHICH there IS no insurance. The loss
falls heavily upon two worthy colored
men. Several other houses adjoining
were damaged. This and other fires in
the same section show the pressing ne
cessity for additional fire plugs, and is al
impressive argument for new hose.

The Forum.

In no magazine of our time are vita
questions so vigorously and ably discussed
as in the Forum. Vexed questions anC
knotty problems are met and fought by the
most learned men of the day. in a manner
that is warmly commended by the ablest
scholars and historians in all countries
and chimes. Political, social and religious
views, are interchanged by brilliant minds
and ready pens. There is galaxy OF such
rare productions in the January number,
and foremost among them is an Article by
Senator J. 5. Morrill,. as 10 the desirabill-
ty of union with Canada. The Senator
grapples with the argument in truly
mastery manner, and iina lily decides it in
the affirmative.

mirable logic and perspicuty. = The
Recall of Ministers. is a historical sketch
by Joseph B. Augel. who presents for our
consideration several cases parallel to that
OF Lord Sackyille, whose unfortunate dis
missal lends vivid interest to all similar
episodes.
1.-The Chinese Exclusion BILL that
much agitated question of this century, IS
treated of by Senator II. 7. Dawes. with
such convincing argumentary power as to
stagger many of the false and bigoted the
cries. which he SO earnestly endeayors to
stamp out.
Getting into Print" and "Jottings on
American Society,"" by James Payn and
Max O'Rell. respectively, are two very
fascinating sketches. Astounding in fresh
and striking anecdote of men of note. and
altogether racy and delightful in both style
and finish.
The magazine is further contributed TO
by James Parton, in a lengthy paper on
the Defeated Presidential Candidates. .
