The Pennsylvania Central Insurance Company having had but little loss during the past year, the annual assessment on Mutual Tollcy-holders will not exceed 60 per cent, on the usual one year cash rates, which would be eciual to a dividend of 40 per cent., as calculated In Mock Companies, or a deduction of 2 per cent., on the notes below the usual assessment: and as the Company has over (200,000 In premium notes the whole amount cred ited to mutual policy-holders, over cash rates, will amount to si.ouo. Jlad the same policy-holders In sured in a Stock Company, at the usual rate, they would have paid S4,ouo more than It has cost them In this Company. Yet some of our neighbor agents are running about crying Fraud I Fraud I and declare that a mutual company must fall. Rut they don't say how many stock companies are failing every year, or how many worthless stock companies are represented in Terry County to-day. It is a well-known fact that a Mutual Company cannot break. JAMES K. GHIER, S 25tf Seo'y of Penn'a Central Insurance Co, IlEJIOVAL! Merchant Tailoring Establishment.

' ' i i t-& Answer to Enigma In last week's Times: "Henry Wadawortb. Longfellow.", ',, ,- DUTCH LIFE -AND , CUSTOMS. Z ELL'S MAGAZINE for February opens with an entertaining sketch of "Dutch Life- and Manners", (Illustrated,) from which we- make the following' select ion.' ' i ..,,., "The tyranny of social custom js the ba sis, as it is the bane, of Dutch life. Every one submits to it, and in his turn exercises it ; the rich man in his own manner, the poor one in his. We remember a very characteristic) case in point Custom does not permit riding on horseback in the streets of Amsterdam a prohibition which doubtless sprung into existence from the ancient cleanliness of the towns, and which has always remained a tacit assumption if not a recognized fact.. A young progressive philosopher endeavored in, our presence to disregard this prohibition. 1 A saddle horse was brought, and lie mounted It at the door of his father's house. Hooting' and hisses followed him to the very outside of the city, and the children threw stones and sticks at the legs of the animal he bestrode. On the noxt and following days he renewed his attempt with the Dutch phlegm, when the poople again opposed him with the same perseverenco. Crackers were explod ed so often under the horse's feet that the life of the rider was endangered, and no one, neither the police nor public opinion, dared to intervene in his behalf. His own father himself,quite indifferent to the want of success attending his son's rashness, said as much to the effect that the Dutch poople had only exercised their right in resisting innovation. A married son or daughter never dines with the family without an express invita tion. The same sort of formality is also established between brother and sister, for they only visit each other on the footing of guests. We were one day praising to a Dutch lady the conservatory of a brothor of hers who lived in the same city. " I have never soon it," she said, " as I only call upon him in the evenings." As a rulo,never do mar ried children live under the same roof with their parents. Therefore some difficulty arises for thorn in the contraction of mar riago, since tbey must first of all secure a home, and that is not always an easy matter in many of those semi-aquatio towns, more particularly in Amsterdam. A family must therefore emigrate or dio out before an other can take its place, ' and hence it is that fathers of families look out for a va caucy before marrying their children. In the meantime the betrothal takes place, under the doublo guarantee of honor and of Dutch tangfroid, forms a sufficient bond of security even though years may elapse before the marriage is celebrated. Until then the young people enjoy a freedom of social Intercourse which suffices to make the time pass pleasantly enough. They go outdoors and walk alone together, like Charlotte by tho side of Werter. Among the higher classes such liberty as this does not produce any evil consequences ; with the lower, those which occasionally do re sult areolcrated and condoned by public opinion. " What can induce John," said a miller to us, to think of being married be fore next year? I bad promised bim to give up my mill to biro then."- In the mean time my daughter goes to his house every Satur day, and they could live like husband and wifo until Sunday." The rights of betroth al are not always understood in so free a manner as by the miller, but , many good and 1 honest tradesmen share the same dwelling with young women without ex oiting any rebrobation. In this the result of indifference as to what is denominated mannent or is it native and constitutional impeccability ? We dare not attempt to decido so delicate and mysterious a ques tion. At all events.liowover, one may read every day in the newspapers advertise ments like this: "Such a one, doing a prosperous business, desires a girl or young widow to look after the shop and his house hold. If matters should go on well, mar riage will follow." We were one day at a tradesman's shop, and said to the fair and buxom girl behind the counter; "Your husband, madam, undertook to do so and so." "He is not my husband, sir." . " Well, your brother, miss.", ,. "Nor is he my brother,- sir," " Well, what is ha then, my child ?" She fixed her large candid blue eyes upon us and said : " He is my betrothed, sir." We knew later, that in that circumscrib ed dwelling of the small shop-keeper type, those two young people shared the same chamber, divided by a slight screen only. Those daughters of the North are charm ing to sea when they come into the towns on the arms of their lovers and escorted by their relations, to purchase a dress and household Query ior the approaching wed ding. ' What candor in those eyes, blue as the heaven, and calm in that look, serene bb that of a heifer ! What simplicity in their freedom I At every Instant happy couples muy be seen to stop in the street to exchange kisses. In the evenings, kliould the theatre be open, the country visitors hir; a box, or on these occasions they do not spare their money. But, when they have thrown careless ook around the house and on the stage, they settle themselves as if they were at home, take notice neither of the audienoe nor of the piece, and the; oscillatory ' process recom mences. The'girls sit on the young men's knees without any one being in the least scandalized. The party drink up their beer and away they go arm in arm, kissing and hugging each Other still.''' "1 - -i i The young women are also attractive' to behold when the Zuydorzee is nothing but a Vast sheet of ice,and serves as a means of pedestrian communication between Am sterdam and the Northeastern provinces. They arrive in companies like a flight of birds, mounted on light skates and laying only on a small stick which their compan ion carries under his arm, : A regular zig zag, formed of long and bold ' strokes, makes their dresses 1 undulate like the flap ping of a sea-gull's wings ; their large eyes, and cheeks reddened both by the cold and pleasure, are the emblems of triumphant life in the midst of Nature's apparent death., In less than an hour they will cross the arm of the sea called Y, gliding, or rather flying, like the phantoms of the Ossianio solitudes. , When they arrive at the end of their journey one sees that those fairy-like beings are milk-girls. Across their shoulders they carry a long pole, from either eud of which hang two copper vessels glitering in the wintery sun. To speak truly, it must bo statod that the candor of soul and simplicity of man ner apparent in the dutch women of the lower orders cause some little illusion as to the purity of their minds. Such is tho case throughout the whole Germanio region. Is it that " the law makes tho sin," as St. Paul says? - - . A Kevolutiouary Reminiscence. Just after the war broke out, the stew ard of the Manor of Livingston had boon gained over to tho royal cause, and had car ried most of the tenants in that direction. They had secretly taken the oath of allegU ance to King George, and had engaged to joii tho British standard in arms as soon as a royal force should appear to protect them. As a reward, they were promised the foe simple of their lands. Information of this intrigue and treachery was given to the board of war, of which Mr. Morris was a member. The steward was apprehended, his orime proved, and he was condemned to death. Upon the question of his execu tion, it was proposed that It should imme diately take place to prevent escape or res cuo. Mr. Morris dissuaded this course. " Fit out a sloop here at Albany," he recom mended, " take the man down in it to the Manor of Livingston, call out the tenants, and hang him in their presence." This was done. The next week a draft from the mi litia was ordered throughout by the board of war, and the Manor of Livingston was the only place in it that turned out, at a moment's warning, every roan that was re quired. "Old and Nevo." ' Pretty Poll. ( ' Mr. Butler, a gentleman much given to prayer-meetings, owns a parrot, a very noisy one, by tho way, and one which in swearing we devoutly believe would stand a fair chance in a competition with the "Army In Flanders." We don't like to say anything ugly about that parrot, but we trust and 1 believe that ' it would be a blessing to the neighborhood if if it would hang itself. . Here is an instance of its ras cality: ,,, ' ' On the occasion of. oue of Mr. Butler's tri-weekly prayer-meetings, a large con gregation assembled, and the parrot was present. During an unusually lengthy prayer which was uttered by a pious in dividual who seemed to be praying by the furlong, the bead of the house became drowsy and resigned himself to the rosy god of slumber. ' - Immediately there . pioceeded from the nasal organ snores which were loud, and very interesting. The parrot eyed him awhile in silence and then complacently -observed. -1 "May I be d if old Butler ain't asleep!" A Singular Plant. A singular vegetable phenomenon was discovered during recent explorations in Arabia. It is callod tiro laughing plant, from the effect produced by tho seeds. When they are pulverized and eaten in small quantities, the person eating them will soon begin to laugh loudly, then to sing, dance, and do all manner of absurd things. This lasts for an hour, after whljjh he goes to sleep, and having slept another hour, wakes up totally unconscious of what has occurred. It has been suggested that this plant might be made a substitute for alcohol, and that it would have the advan tage of being cheaper, until the Govern meut should see through the trick and commence to tax it. But it is scarcely probable that the Arabian plant could in fact be made popular in that capacity, for it does not appear that it inspires the per son who partakes of it with a desire to whip his wife, murder his mother, or indulge in any of the' little plcnaantrlcs that the alco hol of the period moves one to perpetrate. A Clergyman, Horsewhips. Ills Bride. About fifteen months ago.the Kev. J. Rehsteiner, a native of .Switzerland, . came to Richmond, Indiana, and,, took charge of the Lutheran church in that city at pastor, He met Miss Mary Bier, , with whom he seemed to fall violently in. , love at first sight., He began a vigorous courtship, whloh terminated in their . marriage on. the 2Dth of August last. ... t ' All aocounts agree that Mary mode him a gentle and loving wifo, and they wore apparently contented and happy. Soon after their , marriage they made a abort wedding tour to St. Louis, and just here began the trouble which .led to the . most disgraceful conduct on : his part, and to a final and very natural, separation on hers. While in St, Louis, Rehsteiner met a for mei fiancee, and not having heeded the adage, " Be sure you are off with the old love before you are on with the new," the old attachment returned, and he began to manifest a coldness and indifference to wards his bride, and seemed determined to get rid of her at any cost. : , Shortly after Christmas, however, she re vealed the fact to two of her lady intimates that on the night of the 27th of December he had whipped - her most unmercifully with a leather whip on her nude body. She exhibited to them the cuts and bruises on her person. The rumors finally reached the ears of her father, in Greenville, Ohio, and he started at ouce to Richmond to in stitute an Inquiry, and if his suspicions of ill-treatment on the part of Rehsteiner were confirmed, to procure a separation and the return of his daughter to the pa ternal roof. ' i i , ; On Sunday ho went to the house and asked Rehsteiner whether he would allow him to ask his reasons for the way in which he had conducted himself toward his wife. Rehsteiner Morally howled, and ordered him to leave the house. Mr. Bier obeyed, and returned no more ; but he went to the mayor on Monday morning and filed a complaint against Rehsteiner for assaulting his daughter, and had him promptly brought into the mayor's court for trial. Mrs. Rehsteiner was placed on ' the wit ness stand, and testified to the whipping as above mentioned, and showed some of the marks yet remaining on her person. She also stated that on last Saturday night he again attempted to whip her, and even had the impudence to try to compel her to go and get the whip for that purpose. Failing in this, howover, he went and got the whip himself and gave her several blows. Rehsteiner pleaded " not guilty," but the evidence of his guilt was so palpable that the mayor, without hesitation, fined him to the full extent of the law, the fine, including costs, amounting to $120.40. The depravity of this man was only equal led by his brazen i effrontery in appearing before his congregation, last Sunday morn ing, and preaching his "farewell sermon." A Little Stretched. , Tho following is only a little exaggerate ed above what any enthusiastio California!! will say, and swoar at you if you do not believe it i , ,, . Dan Marblo was once strolling along the wharves iu Boston, when he met a tall, gaunt-looking figure, a " digger" from California, and got into conversation with him. "Healthy? It ain't anything else. Why, stranger, there you can choose any climate you like, hot or cold, and that too, without travel in' more than fifteen min utes. Jest think o' that the next cold morning when you get out o' bed. There Is a mountain there the Sara Nevady they call It with a valley on each side of it, ono hot one cold. Well, get on the top of that mountain with a double barreled gun, and you can, without movin', kill either summer or winter game, just as you wish." " What, have yau ever tried it?" " Tried it ? Often, and should have done very well but for one thing. I wanted a dog that would stand both climates. Tho last dog froze his tail off while p'iutin' on the summer side. He didn't get entirely out of the winter side, you see ; true as you live." Marble sloped. Dean Ramsey tolls the following lu dicrous story of an extemporo prayer : A Highland minister, having been requosted by his flock to pray for bettor weather, and being at the same time warned to be cau tious Iu presenting his petition, because the last time he had prayed for better weuther it became worse, thus expresssd himself: " An' noo, Lord, I have a petition to pre sent, but I maun be unco wary o' the wordin' o't. Ye ken, Lord, the kittle state the crops are in. Just send us a saughau', drocin' breeze as '11 save the stroe, an' winna harm the heed ; for if ye send a teaiin', rooviu', thunderin' storm, as ye did tho last time 1 prayed for guide weather, ye'll play the very mischief wi' the nits, and fitirly spoil a'." i -The lteelor and the Poor Buy. An indigent boy applied for alms at the house of an avaricious rector, and received a dry mouldy crust. , The .rector inquired of the boy if he could say the Loid's Prayer, and was answered in the negative. " Then,' said the rector, "I will teach you that. ;'()ur Father!" "Our Father!" suid the boy ; " is he my Father as well as yours?" " Yes, certainly." ," Then," re plied the boy, " how could you give your poor brother this mouldy cruBt of bread?" . For the Bloomflsld Tunes. .. , A Talk wltk the Boya.- , r The"aut)ject "of providing an adequate number of good mechanics for the want of the publio, is becoming a matter of serious consideration, ,' Judging from! the course our boys are pursuing at the present time, our prospocts for good workmen are any thing but favorable, and I am pleased that this question is beginning to be agitated. Lately I chanced to see an article in one of the many papers that find their way into reading-room, which I will use as a text for a short talk with the boys : , . '- "Tbore is nothing moro fully assured than this that unless something is done in behalf of the rising generation of boys, in regard to facilities for learning trades, ten years hence, such a thingasa skillful Amer ican workman will be ourloaity for liar num to secure at any cost." . Now boys let us consldor why it is, that we must apprehend dangor of American mechanics becoming scarce. Is it because there are no boys to learn trades, or are they not needed as apprentices, or Is it be cause that good and faithful boys are ho more to be found? Look around you, and behold what a multitude of mechanics are required to curry on the many branches of industry, and soon all these will step aside to make room for you, and It is evident from a vlow of the course boys of to-day are takiug, that their, places will not be woll filled, and why? Simply because boys do not learn trades thoroughly. How few there are that serve out their time as ap prentices. Do they not generally quit their masters at the end of one or two years,, with the Intention to get wages, and steal the balance of their trade? This is the reason why boys find it so difficult to get a situation to learn a trade ' - Master-mechanics knowing that thero is so little de pendence to be placed in boys, are loth to receive an apprentice, because it does not pay to keep a boy that will not serve out bis time. Bettor hire a good workman, than to waste time with an unfaithful ap prentice. Ask if you ploose, any, or all those skillful mechanics how they obtained such knowledge and skill. Thoir answer will bo, " I served an apprenticeship faith fully under a skilled mnster." Now it is true that unless something Is dono, there will be no skillful American workmen iu ten years lionce. You boys, alone can rem edy the evil. You who intend to learn a trade, stand up to the work like men. When you make a contract with a mechanic for a certain timo, to serve as apprentice, don't leave until the last moment of your time arrives, and thon you will learn some thing. Let me tell you that it is not an easy matter to steal a trade, as some think of doing. The time you waste in trying so to do, far exceeds what it would take un der tho Instructions of a good master workman. If, after working a short time with a good master, you should offer your self as a full hand, you will be expected to understand your trado, and if you fail to givo statisfaction, you will either be put to the roughest part of the work, or perhaps disgracefully discharged. 1 In conclusion, let me urge you to serve a a full and faithful apprenticeship to a good trado, and wo shall have as good workmen in the future as we have now. A Mkciiaxic. How to be Nobody. i It is easy to be nobody, as we will tell you how to do it. Go to the drinking saloon to spend your leisure time. 1 .' You need not drink 1 much now ! just a little beer or some other drink. In the meantime ' play dominoes, chequers, or something else, to kill time, so that you will be sure not to read useful books. ' If you read, let it be dime novels of ' the day. Thus go on keeping your stomach full, and your head empty, and yourself playing time-killing games, and in a few years you'll be nobody, unless; (as it is quite likely,) you should turn out a drunk ard or a professional gamblor, either of which is worse than nobody. There ' are any number of young men hanging about country taverns, just ready to be nobodies. t5r"Tbe general servant of a Parisian geutleniau entered, " like Niobe, all tears, his wife's chamber sobbing: , .. "Oh, madam 1 Oh, midara '." , ; " What is the matter, Francoise !"
