Horrible Murder. We learned
last week that an old woman, abou' 80
years of age, named Elizabeth McDon
ald, residing at Beech Woods, in Jef
ferson county, was murdered luslThurs
"day at her residence by two fiends in
human shape who had been employed
about the premises for some time, and
one of whom was arrested shortly alter
the occurrence. The object of the vil
lains was to secure some $500 in gold,
which was said to be in her' possossion,
but which we learn they failed in secur
ing. We bave not been informed
whether the other murderer bas been
apprehended.
Life Insurance is an agreement
by which a person ' for a small annual
payment, called premium, obtains from
a Company a contract, called a Policy
of Insurance, gu;iianteeiug to pay a
much larger sum at his death to his
family, heirs, or to whomsoever be
wishes. And although the uncertainty of
lite is provcrbal us to an iudividuul, vet
in a considerable number of persons the
late or laws of mortality are very regu.
lur. und admit of great accuracy in esti.
muling the average of human life.
These laws have been ascertained by
observations made during one hundred
and fifty years past. but more particularly
during the last one hundred years.
There is nothing, therefore, partaking-of
hazard or of a speculative nature in it.
A person embracing the benefit of Life
Insurance in a Com puny based on tbo
true principles of tlst science, simply se
cures the pecuniary advantages to his
i (preventatives of his full average of
life against the loss and injury - which
would tuise from his early death.
Among all tne contrivances of men
to protect the finiily circle fiom want,
in mi! can bo found more simple iu its
character, noble iu'its teutures, or cer

It is the unseen hand of the provident

nourishing his offspring and keeping to

faithful son protects his aged parents,
even where he bas preceded them into
eternity ; through it the honest debtor
natisfies hi confiding creditors., when
fate seemed la -it propitious. Iu a moral
and worldly geuse, it is one great wcup.

Y A RUE CAPACITY, GREAT Stregnth
I i and unequalled speed, simplicity and
completeness of operation, are qualities pe.
cuuar to the
Nonpareil Washing Ma
chine. It is a squeezing machine constructed on
strictly mechanical principles, and the ex
perience derived from five years extensive
use in fcmilies, hotels and public institui :ons
proves it to be of lasting value to the pur
chaser
The manner of operating the Nonpareil,
by roiary motion acting on a crank shaft
'with balance wheel,) which moves the
plungers alternately, is the simplest, least
laborious anil most powertul that can be de
vised for the purpose, and accomplishes the
work with the greatest rapidity and the
least possible labor.
The great speed with which this machine
performs work will be understood from he
statement that it is geared lo give six strokes
of the plungers for one turn of the hanule,
or, when worked leisurely, about four hun
dred slrckes a minute Safety to (he fnbrio
washed is insured by the cutire absence of
rubbing.
A girl or noy ot hrteen can work the ma.
chine, and do a week's washing for a fimily
of six or eight persons in two to three hours'
time ; and it may be relied on to cleanse the
clothing thoroughly, without assistance
from hand rubbing.
