A WORD ABOUT LIVE INHUKAKCE.—If
anything wor wanting to demonstrate tho
deceptive character of tho system of co
operative Ufa insurance, now running liko
it it uncontrollablo mania through certain
portion* of Pennsylvania, it i* t< be found
in tho report of Insurance Commissioner
' Forstor, of our State. By tho report of
\ Mr. Forstor for tho year 1879 it appear*
that tho entire cath income of 22 compa
ny* in Pennsylvania amounted to $281,-
606.'>4. Of thi* autn only HIH>UI $141,670,
or almiit olio-half, wax used in the payment
of death claim*. Tho other half wa* ab
■orbed in the exponas account of the com.
panic*. Mr. Forater remarks with great
aptne-s that if these companies expect to
win public approbation "a* economical
substitute* for regular life insurance they
must produce a better record IIIHII tins."
It is estimated that fully five hundred of
theso co-operative companies have been
organized in tho United State* within the
past live years. They flourished tempor
arily, hut have disappeared, leaving no
record of their existence beyond tho dis
appointment* and losses of tin ir victims.
Now, why should these ti >.. mt concern*
be permitted longer to impi • upon the
public? They are purely -p<- ilntiveand
should not be tolerated. It i- pleasure
to turn from thi* picture to t tof th>
working of a legitimate compare like the
"Brooklyn Life," represented lot by our
friend, Mr. It. M. Magoe. This.-, MJH-'V,
by it* IHIO report, show* asset* in ihe
amount of $1 ,'il T '',2' 1 1, with a surplus f-.-nd,
a* regard* policy holder*, of $268,00"
j The company i* honest in it* business re.
■ lation with all policy holder* and ha'
special feature* which should commend it
to the approbation of all person* who de
sire a lite insurance. \V say to any of
our readers who may think of life insur
ance, to consult any of the agents of legiti
mate companies to be found in < ur town,
; and to beware of all these new fangh I
schemes now in vogue und r the nun* f
co-operative insurance.

and at reduced prices, can be had for young !
ladie* and young gentlemen who desire to
attend the Academy.
Most of the alley* of the town are at 1
present in an absolutely filthy condition.
They arnmade the depositories of accumu
lated garden rubbinh, stable excresence*,
refuse of tables and kitchens and the waste
of the winter's fuel. We believe there is -
a borough ordinance prohibiting person*
from debiting any manner of dirt or
filth on the street* or alley*, and a com- i
pliance with the direction* of the ordl- '
nance in the very spirit, ought to be the j
aim and do*ire of every citizen, without !
calling in the aid of the law to enforce it.
Of course it is the duty of the Street Com
missioner to see that the streets and alley*
are cleaned, but it certainly can do no
harm for private citizens to tak" an inter- ;
est in the matter and assist, by all reason- -
able means, the accomplishment of the ob
ject in view.

as director, and Mis* Anna K Sidler and
Mi** Clara K. Fau-t, of Madisonburg, as :
organists, chised with a grand coni-ert ou
Saturday evening, April 2, in a manner
pleasing to all At least scTenty-flve sing
er* participated in the regular class drill
and the conductor certainly menu the j
highest compliments for the devotion of
hi* time and talent*. The audience on '
Saturday evening was not large on account
of the inclemency of the weather and the
had condition of the roads, but the pro
gramme, which consisted of anthems, gier *
and song*, was carried out in a faithful
and spirited manner. An attractive part
of the escrcise* was an earnest address
from our warm-hearted Democratic friend,
S. K. Faust, who very ably cjorted the
parents t<> take an active part in such en
terprise* as they would be a great help to
all Uiechurches and Sunday-scbools. Thus
ended the m.t successful musical conven
tion of the season.
A Bt RSTEII BOILER.— Ou Friday last
while Engine No. 148, of the Tyrone di
vision, was standing on the railroad track
near the Ward H.ue the boiler suddenly '
bursled, causing a tremendous ckplosicn
and slightly injuring several persons,
among whom were J. 11. Teat, Ksrj., of Phil
ip-burg, and an elderly gentleman named
Williams, of Martha Furnace. The latter
had just stepped off the Ward House
porcli when his bat wa* struck by one of
the guard rails of the engine. We believe
hi* injurica were quite serious. The smoke
slack of the engine was blown about • rod.
The lop sheet of the boiler wa* hurled up- ,
ward two hundred feet, passing over the j
Ward House, and descending on the roof
of the Bay tannery in which it tore a hole
about twenty feet square. The glass in
tho depot and in the Ward H<>us* wa*
badly shattered. Three or four other per- |
son* were slightly injured in addition to
those mentioned above.
