Mr.. P. c. Kennedy, local agent for JEFF
ferson county, at Charles-Town, for the
Equitable Life Assurance Society of New
York, went to Shepherdstown on Thursday,
with drafts on New York 20 pay TO the rep
resentatives of Heber Livermore, deceased,
S7.773, the amount of two policies held by
Mr.. Livermore in the company named. The
promptitude of payment is suggested by
the fact that proofs of death were sent on
the Dist of January and check for the
amount was dated four days later, and in
the hands of the family of deceased on the
4th instant-the delay occasioned only by
hardness of the mail.
