Last Tuesday Warden Chamberlain shot a prisouer at the state prison in Wethers- heid for resistance with knife. Word was brought him that Patrick Burke, sen- fenced September 20, 1888, to two years imprisonment for theft from the person, was insubordiuate. Deputy Baisden had ordered the man to the hall for investiga- tion. Burke went, but showed shoe knife, ground to sharp point, and swore that he would rcut the guts out of the first man that put hands on him." War den Chamberlain was called. Burke" he said, stwhat is the matter?'' s'The officers are down on me-" replied the desperate man." and shall defend myself"
 Nobody will harm you," said the war den. "Throw up your hands" In reply Burke drew his knife, and brandishing it in his right hand said: II will cut you open if you put your hand on me-"
 "Drop your knife"
 "I won't"
 Upon continued refusal Warden Cham berlain said quietly ''I will wing you this time, but the next time you draw knife on me you are dead man, and fired.
 The shot took effect in Burkes right arm, just above the elbow, inficting fish wound. The knife dropped, and the man was quickly secured.
 Dr. Warner, the prison surgeon, was called to dress the wound. Before and af- ter the doctors arrival Burke made violent threats against the warden, saying "Ill kill you yet, if hang on the gal lows for it."
 Burke is man of violent temper, and is inclined to be disorderly. He has com milted several acts of insubordination be- fore, for which he has been punished For good behavior, prisoners often get some reduction of the time for which they are imprisoned Burke had forfeited these deductions by his acts of insnbordination ; but the warden made him Christmas present, last Christmas day, in the shape of a restoration of the deductions so that all of his ''iost time' would have been his again, and he would have got out of prison some three months earlier, had he contin- ued in good behavior. But this threatened assault on the warden with knife puts him back to his first situation and that may not be the worst of it, for him.

JUST 4 WORD ABOUT FUR SKINS.

Our senior partner attends the annual Trade Sales
 in Europe. and enjoys all the advantages of the arg est fur dealers of the world. Our foreign skins on counters cost just profit less than parties who buy secondhand. We advertise for and employ every fur-hunter and trapper in each State in the United States where their furs are of any value to our fur trade. We can show to any interested par ties that in correspondence with hundreds of the most extensive hunters and rappers in the States and are in constant receipt of "Itaw Skins," which are being tanned for our own use. Why should any go elsewhere for furs for their use than to importers and those who buy direct from the trap pers In fact we are 30 near the wild animals we hardly dare go out O nights.

ONE of the most horrible of murders is that for which Isaac Sawtelle of Boston is now held. Sawtelle had been sent to the state prison for long term, but pardoned out. He decoyed his brother to Rochester, N. H: Evidence indicates that he then procured 8 carriage and drove toward the state of Maine. the boundary line being near Rochester. Pis- tol shots were heard by parties who had noted the carriage containing the two men, and one person who saw them, inquiring what was the matter with one of the men in the carriage, was told that he was drunk. This was prob ably after he had been killed It appears that the murder was committed before crossing into New Hampshire, that Isaac went on and buried the body in an unfrequented wood. He seems to have planned that if detected it would appear that the murder was committed in Maine, where murderers are not hung.
 Suspicion was excited over Hiram's disap- pearance. Isaac was arrested at Rochester, and the several clues followed up until the body was found buried, not very deeply, the head and arms being missing. The head had been cut of with two strokes of an axe, mak- ing v-shaped cut into the body. It is ap- parent that the object of murder was to se- cure the brothers property. Also the horri- ble certainty is apparent that the removal of his brothers wife and children was part of the scheme, and perhaps also his mother, who possessed property that only his brothers careful oversight had prevented him from wheedling her out of. Taken all in all, the
 circumstances of the crime are almost incred . blvs atrociOus

The statement of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Hartford, is giv- en this week. Its figures are immense, setting it out as the largest financial concern in New England, and none is sounder. Its assets are $57, ,874, ,972, and by the closest figuring it's surplus exceeds $5, ,OO0, 900. It is no small task to manage concern whose possessions come up close to $5S, ,O00, 900, and to which about 64 900 persons have comm tied their savings as defense aeainst the loss that death 10 sure to bring to their families.
 A wiseIand fn<leesdnk cons9Fyatism has for years characterized the policy Of the Connect icut Mutual. It is seen this year in the delib- srnte marking down of the book value of the homo building by orsr $500. 0o0, (which m .kes fhn<1pperent skrinkage in the company's as- seis, though 1t is the same building it was a year ago) and in many other evidences. The course adopted in 1882 by this company alone of taking it's new business on an assumption of per cent. was an especially noticeable mark of conservatism, but already it's wisdom is apparent, and some of the great tontine companies are discussing the necessity of fol- lowing in it's line, ia most practical vindication of it's course.
