One
Instance

Mrs. Anna C. Stowell of South Weymouth
Mass, in acknowledging receipt of $4,000, for
value of policy on the life of her husband, re-
Gently deceased, writes State Agent James T.
Phelps as follows: Il wish to acknowledge the
prompt settlement Of the insurance under my
husbands policy 81, 00l, and also to take this Do
portunty of expressing to the company my sin
treated. That any of my friends may understand
why write in this way l will outline the con-
dltion OF affairs A premium due on Mr..
Stowell's policy April 80, 1896. This was not paid
and since his death find that the company
sent second notice on May Z, and third notice
stating that the insurance had lapSed, but would
be reinstated If premium was paid and health
certificate given. Later still letter conveying
the same information was sent, all these papers
having been in Mr.. Stowells possession In a
pocket of an Office coat we found check made
by Mr. Stowell for this premium and dated May
5. Mr.. Stowels accident occurred June IS, and
he died June 2S. By the terms OF the policy |
should have been entitled to $780, but am CRATE
full that the company while recognizing that
there is no legal claim for more than this amount,
have still seen fit to pay the face of the policy
$1,000" The generosity of the National Life in
paying the face-value of the policy under the
general policy Women should be sufficiently
alive to their own interests to that their hus-
bands pay the premiums on their policies when
they fall due, companies are not obliged to pay
the face value of policies unless all arrears have
been paid. Mrs. Stowels words of appreciation
are non too strong for the kind and generous
treatment accorded her by the National Life.

ON David Blakely's Life.
The body of David Blakely, who died in
New York Nov. T. and was buried at Brad
ford, was eXhumed Monday and sent to
New York by the accident insurance com
panies, who do not admit the claim of the
family that death resulted from an acct

cident policies were for S25 900. Mr..
Blakely was manager of Sousa's band and
president of the Blakely Printing company
of Chicago and had his summer residence

Gle riding he lost control of his wheel and
collided with a wagon. His collar bone
was broken and his spine severely injured.
He returned to New York for the winter,
dying suddenly few days after his return.
After the autopsy the remains will be re-
turned to Bradford for reinterment in tn e
family lot. Mr.. Bakely carried life nsur-
ance of $4,000, which it is reported will
be paid without contention.

WILLIAMSVILLE.
1900 In Retrospect.

The year Just closed has been a compare
lively uneventful one to this community.
Fire, flood and pestilence have all kept out
side our limits. Four Of our citizens
Alonzo Hazelton, George w. Lamb, Alan
son Miles and Jonathan NJ. Ingram, all
advanced in years, have been taken away
by death. Into each of the homes Of
William HaZelton, Herbert Pierce, Perley
b. Sparks and Ira NJ. Ingram, little child
has come. Two of our residents, Edwin
w. Morse to Ethel Jillson of Dummerston
and Sarah +. Shipman to VIM. j. Mum
of Holyoke, Mass, have been married
The building operations of the year have
consisted of the erection of a store build
ing by A. NJ. Merrifield and somewhat
extensive repairs by c. L. Tyler, DR.. p. p.
White, Ozearl Attridge, Wiliamsville
Mill company and l.. O. Morse. No
business changes have occurred, and, We
think, no transfer of real estate. Several
families who were recent corners have
moved away but their places have been
taken by others and we now have no hab-
table vacant tenements. Inhabitants may
not be any richer than year ago but it is
not through eating the bread of enforced
idleness.
The Universalist society were served a
portion Of the year by Rev. 1. =. Quimby
of Boston, a preacher with greater attain
ments than a place like ours can usually
command. The machinery Of the Metho-
dist church quietly took Rev. S. p. Fair
tanks out of our midst last April after the
close of a successful pastorate of three
years, and dropped in his place Rev. A. A.
Estabrook. On the great public questions
of the year our people have been almost
unanimously on the side of Venezuela,
Armenia, Cuba and sound money. Pass
on, 90. Enter, 1897. Please be kind to
us.

Great Damage by a waterspout in the
Azores.

The Portuguese consulate in Boston has
received petition from the island of St.
Michael in the a zores, asking aid for the
sufferers by the bursting of a giant water
spout over the city of Pevoacao early in
November. Tons of water poured down
upon the city, which was of about $4,000
inhabitants, mounting above the roofs OF
the houses, ripping up the streets and car
rying destruction everywhere in its path.
The torrent rushed down the slopes to the
sea, tearing a wide channel through nine
miles of country, and carrying with it the
homes of thousands of people. The flood
also destroyed the town of Riberra Quente,
of 5000 population and several outlying
parishes. All along the coast the fisher
men lost their boats, and the shore was
Uttered with the bodies of those who per-
ished in the floods.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Aged CIaremOnt Farmer Burned Ia
Death,

Levi b. Farr, Sc, who lived a short dis
lance from Claremont on the Unity road,
was burned to death in his house Sunday
afternoon. Mr. Farr and his daughter,
Mrs. Eunlce Allen, lived together. Mr..
Farr smeled smoke, and on going up
stairs found lively fire in progress. 1t
had evidently started from a defective hue.
He called to Mrs. Allen to get a pail of
water, and started again for the chamber
in which the fire was raging, When he
opened the door great volume of smoke
poured out and Mrs. Allen tried to prevent
him from entering. Mr.. Farr rushed into
the smoke, however, and was never seen
again. He was probably overcome by the
smoke instantly, and the body was almost
entirely consumed. The house was de-
stroyed and only small part of the house
hold goods were saved by the neighbors.
Mr. Farr will be remembered as the pro-
prietor of brick yard for many years.
