Tatcnt 0ntsid.es. Wo are sorry to see so
many of our Exchanges adopting the
" Patent Outsidcs." It is rather provoking
to havo a lot of Exchanges of one week
contain exactly the same matter which was
in papers from other localities the week
previous.
"Xost His Fingers. On Saturday, the
12th instant, AVm. Kcpncr, engineer at
Kendig's Steam Saw Mill, 3 miles west of
Ickesburg, while operating ono of tho
small saws, accidentally brought his left
hand in contact with the saw. Two fingers
were cut off, and the thumb and remaining
finrmfs sadlv man cried. Ho was taken to
Ickesburg and his hand dressed by Dr.
"Wm. It. Cisna.
Arrested. The parties who have flood
ed this vicinity with their counterfeit mon-
cv circulars, and who would in return for
remittances received, send a box of saw
dust, or something else as worthloss, havo
boon arrested by the police, and their es
tablishment broken up. This will be grat
ifying news to several we know of in this
countv. who were creen and covetous
enough to invest $5, and in two cases $10,
irymswer to these circulars.
Wanted. Josh Billings thus advertises :
" Wanted, several fust class young men,
with moustash, to hang around the vesti
bules of the diffcrnt churches in Amoriky
and stare at tho females as they pass out.
No yung man accepted who can't stare the
brass buttons onh f torn a military coat at
twenty paces."
There are lots of them to be found in
this town, at most any of the church doors
after evening service.
"Weather Proplicts. It is quite amusing
to road the different prophecies regarding
the coming winter. Some say the winter
' will be remarkably cold, and give as a
reason for this belief the fact that tho au
rora borealis has been remarkably brilliant
this fall ; while others, with equal positive-
. ncss, say we shall have a warm one, as tho
corn husks were thinner than usual. We
believe we know as much about the
weather this coming winter, as any of these
prophets, and honestly confess we know
nothing about it. ,'
Too Mauy Studies. .When we see chil
dren going to school with nearly as many
books as they can carry, wo think of tho
following story :
" How is it, my dear," inquired a school
mistress of a little girl, "how is it you do
not understand this simple thing?" " I do
not know indeed," she answered with a
perplexed look, " but I sometimes think
I've so many things to learn that I have no
time to understand.
Speedy Justice. Tho Lebanon Courier
i says : The horso thief Jones, who stole the
horse and buggy of Meilly, Walmer &
Seltzer on Saturday night a week, was nr-
tested and brought hero on the following
Monday, was indicted and brought into
Court on Tuesday, was found guilty and
sentenced, and is now on his term in the
Eastern Penitentiary. Horse thieves had
better pass Lebanon County by.
Vllls Reason. There is a man in this bor
ough, who, when asked why he did not
fence' his cemetery lot, replied, "There is
no danger of any one there getting out,
and I don't know of any ono who will try
to cet in. and therefore sec no need of a
fence."
Accident. The York Press says : Mr.
Leib, an aged and highly respected citizen
of Paradise township, met with an accident
on Monday afternoon last, which resulted
in his doath. Ho was on his way homo
accompanied by his daughter, when his
horso becamo frightened and not being
ablo to manago him, started and ran away
throwing both of them out of tho buggy,
almost instantly killing Mr. Leib and injur
ing tho young lady to such a degree that
poor hopes of her recovory are entertained.
Tho sad occurrence took placo on tho Get
tysburg turnpike, about six miles west of
this Borough. Tho deceased and his
daughter were on a visit to Lancaster county
and, we are told, that his horse also ran off
in tho vicinity of Wrightsvillo, and that ho
was thrown from tho buggy and received
a compound fracturo of tho arm. This took
placo only a few hours previous to tho
abovo sad occurrence, which deprived him
of his life. Ho was a man highly estcemod
for his virtues and his untimely end is uni
versally lamented by tho wholo community
in which he resided.
The "State Journal," tho now Harris-
burg daily, is rapidly increasing its circula
tion. It is, without doubt, tho best daily
paper in tho interior of tho state, and well
deserves the patronage of tho public. Wo
find its summary of telegraphic news fully
as complete as that of any of tho Philadel
phia Dalies, while it is well printed on good
paper.
The Mite Society. The ladies of the
Mite Society,' of tho Presbyterian Church,
will do any kind of plain or fancy sewing.
Orders for their society may bo left with
Mrs. Sponsler and will receive prompt at
tention. Must Settle. Mr. Geo. n. Martin of
Blain gives notice to all who havo accounts
on his books, that such accounts must bo
settled cither by noto or otherwise before
January 1st. If not settled by that dato
they will be placed in tho hands of an
officer for collection. 3t
Clothing. Persons wanting clothing
mado in a superior manner should leave
their orders with F. Mortimer & Co., who
having secured the services of a very supe
rior workman from New York, aro pre
pared to execute orders promptly, and in
tho best stylo. They also havo the best as
sortment of cassimercs and cloths in the
county. tf.

The Continental Life Insurance Companj
of New York.
This institution is one of those that mark
tho highest progress we have attained in
science and art. It is a perfect system
founded on the harmony of divine ordor
and adapted to the conditions and wants of
our daily existence.
It has met a great publio need in fairness,
fulness and liberality, and the American
pooplo havo shown their ready appreciation
of excellence in bestowing thoir patronage
upon it to an extent that has placed it in a
few years side by side with companies that
have been a qw'arter of a century or moro
in attaining to their present position. Tho
Continental Life commenced to issue poli
cies on the 10th of May, 1860, and on the
80th of September last it had 21,502 policies
in force, insuring $51,730,575,20. It has
never been our duty to record a more bril
liant and beneficent success.
This rapid progress, wonderful and almost
incredible as it may appear, is tho genuine
natural and healthful result of a superior
system and healthful equitable administra
tion of life insurance. The plans of tho
Continental Life of Now York, although
marked by a judicious regard for economy
and safety, aro framed in the most liberal
spirit. The insured find in this truly mutual
company none of those oppressive incum
brances and drawbacks which impair the
value and usefulness of the policies of other
life corporations. A policy in tho Conti
nental Life has many cardinal advantages
over others. It has an intrinsic, specific
value, being non forfeitable and incontesta
ble. It entitles its holder to participate
fully in the entire profits of tho company
distributed annually on tho contribution
dividend plan to a voice in the elections
and management to thirty days' graco in
tho payment of premium, to a liberal loan of
33J per cent, if required, and to a total ex
emption from any chargo for permission to
travel. Those aro a few of the attractive
features among many othors that havo
brought this organization into general favor.
Its popularity is still increasing. It issued
during the year ending September 30, 1870,
no less than 5,582 now policies insuring
$18,084,298. Notwithstanding this im
mense accession of new business and tho
payment of handsome dividends to tho in
sured, tho most judicious care appears in
the selection of the Continental Life's risks,
and tho strictest economy in tho conduct
of its affairs, and its percentage of expendi
tures, including losses, is far below the av
erage of other companies.
Those great triumphs of management aro
attributable to a perfect system, and to its
masterly administration by tho company's
experienced and highly gifted president,
Justus Lawrence, ably seconded by its
worthy vice-president, M. B. Wynkoop,
its faithful and talented secretary, J. P.
Rogers, and a board of directors distinguish
ed alike for thoir eminent standing and
practical business ability.
Ave cannot conclude this brief notice of
tho Continental Life-of New York without
adverting to the primal excellence it pos
sesses of immutable stability. No mountain
is founded on a firmer basis. Whoever en
tors tho ranks of its policy holders may not
only rest assured that he and his heirs will
be most equitably and liberally dealt with,
but may also dismiss all misgiving from his
mind as to the company's perpetuity and
tho perfect safety of tho funds intrusted
to its keeping. Its present assets, continu
ally and rapidly augmenting ana invested
securely and profitably in National, State
and in other securities worth double tho
amount for which they aro held, now ex
ceed four million five hundred thousand
dollars sufficient to pay all present, pros
pective and possiblo liabilities, and loave
half a million earned surplus to bo returned
as clear profit to the insured.
Placing such incontrovertible facts and
figures before him, we ask any husband or
father can he entrust his savings for those
ho loves best and is most bound to protect,
to any institution more worthy of his confi
dence or moro certain to repay it many fold
than tho Continental Life of Now York.
We copy tho abovo from tho Insurance
Times, published at New York, a journal
edited by tho most talented underwriters in
tho world. The notico is quito a compli
mont to the officers who havo so skillfully
managed tho Continental of New York
since its organizaton. Any company might
bo envious of the success that has attended
the Continental of Now York since its ex
istence. Mr. J. F. Eaton, College Block,
Ilarrisburg, is tho general agent for this
excellent company.

Onr Railroad.
Mr. Editor Sir, if you please. I desire
to state in my opinion, your suggestion of
Dunuing a two-ieet guage railroad on our
route is worthy of consideration, and that
if tho present commissioners will not take
some action or try to urge on the road, let
them be expelled and others who have an
interest in the work he appointed in their
place. If we cannot have a wide railroad,
lot us have a narrow ono, until we aro ablo
to make it wider. It is high timo for us to
do something in the way of work. We
have been talking long enough about this
road. Let us have it made.
