defense of the truth. He filled his place so
well; he was SO kind and courteous in his social

sent to his family, with whom we sincerely
sympathize in their bereavement. By the

Then i'll Heaven with smiles we'll greet thee,

4 CALF CAUSES \ BROKEN LEG.-Last Fri
day evening Mr.. Daniel P. Thomas, who lives
near Prospect, missed a calf which had been
fastened by chain. Finding the animal in a
maple swamp quarter of a mile from the
stable, he caught hold of the chain and was
leading it home when he set his foot between
forked snag and the calf pulling hard on
the chain he lost his balance and falling to
the ground broke both bones in one limb be-
low the knee. Although painfully injured he
managed to drag himself through briers and
over fences nearly to his home, where his calls
for assistance were heard by his daughter,
who assisted him into the house. The brok en-
limb was set and Mr.. Thomas is slowly re-
covering.

UPPER FALLS, Nov. Last Thursday
novel entertainment was given in Upper Falls
hall, which was prettily dressed for the occa-
sion with red and white hangings at the win
dows and stage, these hangings being adorn-
ed by yellow autumn leaves and green ferns.
The hall was completely filed by as well-be
haved and kind-hearted an assembly as could
be found anywhere. Prof. &. f. West gave
many humorous and pathetic selections, his
memory and good nature seeming untiring,
but the greatest attractions CT tie evening
were Mr.. Charles Chapman and Mrs. George
l.. Jefferds. The former sang two songs SO
well and pleasingly that he brought forth
storm of applause, and the latter whistled
and initiated a cOrnet in manner that was
delightful. We have never heard a banjo
played with such spirit and sweetness and we
do not mind acknowledging that we would
rather hear banjo and the ''Suwanee River
than grand opera. We were told that this
gifted young lady came from Bel Air just to
help make the evening success, and we hope
to hear her again Mr.. Albert Rittenhouse
pleased every one by the skill with which he
played the harmonicou, and we were very
sorry when the evening ended. The amount
made was $50. MEMO.

The Washington Life Insurance Company
of New York

l
of New York
The Washington Life Insurance Company of
New York stands in the front rank among the
reliable and trustworthy life insurance COM
panies of the country. Its management is
prudent and conservative and it guards with
jealous the rights and interests of its policy
holders. Its apparent progress, owing to the
care and caution with which its affairs are
managed, may not show so rapid an advance
as that of some other companies, but in all the
points touching the safety of its policy holders
it Yields the palm TO none. Its assets, however,
on the list of last January, were 81 ass, 639,
showing an increase during the preceding year
of S669, 3O5. These assets are not fictitious or
of transitory value, but are first liens upon
productive real estate and consequently are as
safe as the assets of national bank. The
books of the company show that SO per cent
of its assets arc thus invested this being, prob
ably, the largest per centum of this class of
securities held by any life insurance company
in this country. In brief The Washington has
sound assets and enough of them to guarantee
safety to all of its policy holders. Besides
these assets are safely planted on United
States sell. BanHs may break, corporations
may fail, but investments on productive city
real estate are always worth their face value.
We cheerfully commend The Washington to
ali our friends who wish to insure safe,
sound and reliable company. Mr.. l.. H. Bald
