The By-Liws of this Company, and the rejiilalione governing insurance have, re cently been very materially changed, pla cing it upon a bnsis equal to that of any Fire Insurance Company in the State. Imporiant amonj these changes are the following, viz : Policies, instead of being perpetual, are issued fr five years. All property is classified and the rate of premium is fixed according to the risk of the property. Premium notes are taken, and all as sessments are made on the notes. Property is insured for not more than two thirds of its acluil cash value, and the full amount of insurance paid in case of loss, provided the loss be equal to the amount of insurance. "Annual assessments' only are made, ex cept in cases of heavy loss, and whero a special assessment is necessary.

ALMOST BURIED ALIVE, A Child, Lying in a Trance, is- Coffined and on the Way to the Grave when Restored to Consciousness A Narrow Escape from a Horrible Death. The St. Joseph (MoJ Ileral7, of Dec 25th, relates the following strange story : In the northern part of the city lives a carpenter, with his family, who are na tives of France, and have been in this country about eight years. One of their children is a little girl named Mary, and the subject of this singular story. The child was born in Paris, and was 11 years old on the 2Gth of June last. She speaks French, German and English fluently, and in conversation exhibits an uncom rnon iutensity of mental action and vividness of mental vision. She is fair complected aad very beautiful, with lustrous eyes, sunny hair, and a look of spiritual maturity in her countenauce. She has sometimes said that she could see the farms of persons who have died, and as her sincerity could not b doubted, thi.e occasioned some alarm in the minds of her parents. The health of ths child has not been pood for several months, and on Saturday morning, three weeks ago, she startled her mother by saying that she could see her dead sister Louie, who came near her in an angel form and spoke to her, telling her that she would never be sick any more. Her mother tried to persuade her to dismiss the subject from her ruiad, but she could not stop talking and continued, describing her spirit sister, saving that she was standing near dressed in pure white, her face bright and shining, her hair illuminated with silver white, and golden dew drops dripping from her wings. She could also see her dead brother, who catue close to hr sister's side. While talking her strength gave way, and she sank away as in death. The worst forebodings of the parents had been realized, and they prepared the body for burial. No physioian was called, as they supposed that death had already fillen upon their child. It was about 10 o'clock in the morning when the appar ent death occurred. The .body was kept until Sunday afternoon about 4 o'cloek, nearly thirty hours, during which time no signs of returning life had been no ticed. The Goal look at the remains was taken, the coffin was sealed up and placed ia the hearse, and the little cortege started for the grave, ths parents following the hearse in a carriage. After proceeding some distanca and coming down on Third street the quick ear of the saddened mother caught the echo of a familiar cry, and she gave ex pression to her suspicion that it came from the coffin of her child. Iler suspicion was overruled, but in a. few moments a second cry was heard, and in compliance with the withes of the mother the hearse was stopped, and the coffin drawn out. The struggles of what was supposed to be the lifeless body could now bft plainly heard. The coffin was quickly opened and the child found to be alive, to the amazement and unspeakable delight of the parents. In her strufles she had nearly torn from herself her death robes. She was quickly taken from the coffin and carried into the house of a French lady at hand, where they bathed her in vinegar. She recovered her strength rapidly, and in a short time was taken to the home which she had left only a few hours before, an apparent corpse. Since that time she has been as well as for the last few months Iler parents make every effort to keep her mind from reverting to the terrible episode in her young " life, fearing that there is a fatal fascination iu it to her. She sajs that while others thought her dead she could feel their touch and hear distinctly all that was said, but not move a single muscle or make the slightest sign. She knew when they dressed her for the coffin, when she was laid in it, and heard the terrible lid fastened down, but could not make a motion and was utterly power less, until the hearse had gone some dis tance, when the physical forces were pro bably set in motion again by the motion of.the vehicle. She describes with singular enthusiasm and power, for one so young, the beatific fights that she saw while entranced, many different beings appearing to her in won derful beauty. As we stated,, the family have disliked the affair to become public, and have thus far endeavored to keep it secret, and it was only yesterday that it came to our ears. Remedy for Sore Throat. Take one large, red pepper, iuch as are grown for family use ; steep it in half a pint of water, alter which strain iu a quart of molasses, adding a little vinegar ; boil all together to a thin syrup; uie this whenever the throat feels drj or disagree able ; if it be the dead of eight, it will soothe the throat (and not irritate) and warm it up well. If sharper than can be borne iu the mouth, put it back near the palate with a spoon and swallow ; ap ply out-wardly a thin slice of suit pork, warming it up well in a little vinegar and pepper ; apply as hot us can be borne on the throat; fasten the bandage that holds the pork over the head to draw the cold and inflammation up, and not about the neck, as most peopla do. - A Reading ice dealer gathered eight hundred tons of ice on Sunday. J Chinese Theatres. That portion of San Francisco which is principally inhabited by the celestials, and is known everywhere as the 4,Chinese Quarter," contains two theatres, upon the curtainless stages of which are produced the most thrilling of Tartarian tragedies, the most ear piercing operas, the lightest of light comedies, and the most farcial of burlesques (upon historical represcnta tion), the majority of which is obscene in extreme, and although the words are uti intelligible, ths pantomime would not be tolerated on the stages of any theatres in the civilized quarters of the g'obe fre quented by the refined. The principal theatre is owned by a company known as the Hong Ting Yuen, and here is pro duced what may be termed the legiti mate Mongolian drama. The great barn like interior is crowded from pit to dome every night, from early twilight until the still hours of morning, and the Caucasion passing through Jackson street at two A. M. is often startled by the unearthly noises, having some of the force and hor ror of the orchestra supposed to exist in Pandemonium. The body of the theatre is filled with long wooden benches, and tho.e who seat themselves thereon pay Glty rents for the privilege. Private boxes line the upper portion of the side and rear walls, which are black with the smoke of thousands of cigars and the concentrated essence of caibon generally, which will cling to the rafters and ceiling until the building has ceased to exist, for the Chinese, with their usual laxity in regard to the attri bute so neighborly to godliness, would as soon think of erecting a new theatre as of cleansing the interior of the old one. The stage is very broad and deep, ex tending the entire width of the building, and displaying all the paraphenalia of the celestial histrionic art, from the throne of an emperor or tycoon to the fan of the lady pt fashion who walks upon her toes while screeching forth her part. The machinery is very primitive, the scenery being shifted ia full view of the audience by the supes, who simply move a table and place a requisite number of chairs in a certain position immediately after the actors in a late scene have dis appeared behind a calico curtain, right centre. Having completed their adorn ment, the characters appear by the left centre through another calico covered aperature and the play goes on. Aside from the novelty of the performance the dresses worn by the actors are well worth seeing. They are extremely magnificent and worth thousands of dollars, being made of the finest and heaviest silks that China produces, while magnificent ostrieh feathers form plumes that might grace the helmet of the most magnificent moo archs that ever held -a review. It is to be expected that many of the plays pro duced at this house milit excite the au diences frequently, which excitement would be likely to burst forth in execra tion and wiud up with dire destruction ; and to prevent this the company have employed an officer, who sits at the door watching every movement of the wily audicuce, ready at any moment to eject the turbulent or quell the rising anger of the occupants of the 'pit or parquette. The second theatre is situated on the east side of Washiugton place, but is not always in operation. It is a second class concern, and traveling troupes, occasionally tread these boards. The day may come when Hong Ting Yuen may form a 4'side head" under the title of 4Amusements" in the daily press, fol lowed by a critique of such plays as "The Flying Dragon, or The Flag of the Tartars;" but that day is at present a few centuries down the dim vista of futurity. Morning Call. Would be Whipped. The Rev. Josiah Stsarn9, of New Hampshire, was distinguished for the re gard to truth, justice and consistency, llavinc insisted much to his children oti tho importance of frankly confessing whenever they had done wrong, instead, of making their guilt greater by attempt ing concealment, on one occasion, when a fault hud been committed, one of the small boys confessed when he was not guilty. The truth having come to light, the child, who probably thought to ap pear meritorious by confession, was eu lighteued by the father as to the nature of his sin, and then chastised for false hood. ReiHg-cxceedio;ly annoyed that the garden gate was often left open, and cattle came in and did mischief, Mr. Stearns said to his children and servants: "The very next person who leaves the garden gate open must be whipped." Not many days after the unlucky gate ap peared in the prohibited condition. Meet ing the colored boy, Peter, he said "Well, Peter, and who has left open the garden gate now V Peter hung his head. Mr. S. urged his question, till Peter answered, "I do not love to tell, sir." Mr. S. insisted, when Peter sum moned up courage to say, "It was you, sir!" "Mo? Are you sure? When J'' "When you eame out of the garden" (at such a time) "you left it open." 'Well, Peter," said Mr. S , "go and cut some sticks and lay theui over your mas ter's shoulders." They boy begged to be excused, but the master insisted, and it was done as required. About lire thousand miners are ou a strike about Wilkesbarre. Old Fruit Cans. Empty tin fruit cans, like old hoop skirits, are a nuisance when out of place The question is : What is their place 7 and I should be willing to answer it a hundred times, if I could banish them from the gutters, the ah heaps, the va cant lots, and, above all, from the "hands of the boys. I shudder now at the very susestion of their ever beins used ajraiu as music boxes, 6trung with rosined chords. Did that epidemic visit your lo cality, my dear n. ier ? If so, you would be in haste to prevent the slighest possi bility of its rcscurrence. Bat to the remedy : In the first place, to open the cans properly, put hot coals on and around the little soldered tip on the top, until the solder melts, then scrape off lid and coals together, with a table knife. Be careful, however, not set tho cans on the hot stove before they are opened, by which little neglect steam enough to burst the can might be generated, which would not be a very pleasant or profitable method of opening it. When opened properly, you have a smooth, round orifice through which to remove the fruit. When the cans are empty and dry, in vert them in hot coals in the stove for half a minute, or on a hot stove, until the solder melts and loosens the remaining top of the can ; then strike it off, smooth off the bits of solder, and you have a very convenient cooking utensil. For a lid, use a saucer, or the covers to old tin pint cups or pails. Rice, wheat, samp, pearl barley, split peas, and mariy other dishes for a small family, and small dishes for a larg."? family, can be eooked in them, either standing directly on the stove, or placed in a large boiler or saucer pan of water, to prevent ths possibility of their burn iug. It also saves more costly tin uten sils.; for this method of boiling water is hard on the tinware. One can may be kept for onions ; others can be used for bakiug or steaming rye and Indian bread, and some kinds of pudding. They are also convenient for pantry use, for holding articles to be used iu cook ery or in the laundry ; for garden seeds, for paint pots, and for many other things that will suggest themselves to every housekeeper, and for which indeed they would long ago have been used but for the untidy, jigged edge made by the common method of opening them. If covers arc wanted for them in these capa cities, discarded rims and lids may be put together with a little soldier. If there are tin shears at hand, and any one to use them, the cans may be made into very passablo scoop. Take several of them at a time to a tinner, and ha will cut them into the shape for a trifle. It saves time to have a seoop in every meal tub, flour barrel, sugar pail, and starch box. In short, old tin cans are far better for many purposes than for street organs, or for ornaments to dogs' tails. Suppose we change the tune, and have better economy, more and a higher grade of music. Science of Health. Joe Bunk Growing Brave. Joe Bunk got tipy on lager beer, and went home announcing ' his determina tion to volunteer for the Cuban war. His wife used various arguments to dissuade him ; but he had an answer to all of them. Finally, she brought the matter home to him. "Would you leave me and the child ren V said she. "Why, yes, Polly, when my country calls it h my duty to leave vife, children, everything behind, and obey tho call." "But look at the hardships you must bear." "I can stand them as well as others do." "But you migkt get sick." "Others get sick too I can stand as much as they can." "But you might be put in the front ranks." "Well, I guess 1 can stand it as well as others do." "But," screamed the wife, who could see uo sense in Joe's stoicism, "the Cu bans might kill you." Joe studied a moment ; the question was evidently a poser. Tho wife thought she had struck the right chord at last, and again pressed the remark with espe cial emphasis "les, Joseph, the Cubans might rush upon you in the midst of battle and kill you." "All right, said Joe, a bright idea stricking him, "all right, my honey, but I guess I can kill as many of them an thry can of me !" A gentleman at a dauce remarked to his partner, a witty young lady, that the room was so close he must go out auu get some air. Alter an absence oi hall an houor he returned, wheu she asked him "if he had uot beeu to the grave yard, as his breath smelt of the beer." The Wflshington Pa. Reporter saja : There is still considerable activity in the local wool market, and considering the al most impassable condition of the roads a large amount is beiug brought in for shipment. The rate paid here for good wool is fifty cents. From nine hives of bees, Rev. Orr Lawson. of Oxford, Chester county, re ceived iu 1873. 430 pounds of honey, amounting iu uiiney to ll7 50. A City Not Made with Hands. Halfway acror-this vast, sandy plain, two or three specks were visibl, which, our guide informs us, were salt lakes ; al so, that it was from the shores of thes lakes that the Spaniards formerly pro cured their salt, and eveti the present in habitants nf the territory used it to a largo extent. He said that in close proximity to these lakes was a very peculiar sand stone formation, well worth seeing; ano, as all were but a few miles distant from our direct route, we determined to visit them. Bringing our glasses to bear up on that portion of the plain pointed out by our guide, we saw what seemed to us to be a large city, with its spires, and domes, and towers ylitteriug in the bright sunlight, and rivalling in splendor even the creations of the genii conjured by, "Aladdin's wonderful lamp." But wc must not linger longer admii ing the wonderful panorama spread out before us, or we shall fail to reach the wood and water level before nightfall. We therefore dedcensed the mountain, and are once more upon the plain. Upon reaching a beautiful little stream that comes trickling down the sides of a rocky, cannon, we encamp for the night. Sunriso again finds us on our journey, and after a hard day's jaunt over the same unchangeable plain, night brought us to the first of the lakes whose blue wa ters had so enchanted us the J;iy pre vious. Its shores were white with pure, crystallized salt, aud we were told by our guide that caret ts full were carried away every year, in its natural state. The next morning the guide called us to behold the wonderful effect of the ris ing sua upou the city of enchantment that we had seen from the mountain tha day before. As we approached this mar velous architecture of th? elements, we could not repress exclamations, of wonder and delight. Streets were plainly visible; massive temples with their spires and domes ; monuments of every conceivable shape ; castles of huge proportions ; tow ers and minaret?, all formed of pure white silica, which glittered in the bright sun light like walls of cry?-tal. It was hard to persuade ourselves that art had uo part in farming these graceful testimonials to the wonders of nature. "Surely," said Dr. Parker, "that must be a city." "Yes," replied I, "a city, but not aad with hands." Around the whole was a massive wall ten feet in bight, with arched gate way and entrances as perfect as it is possible for the imagination of man to conceive. Entering the confines of this magical spot, we were soon undeceived ; for what in tho distance our imagination had conceived to be enchanted ground, was, in reality, a mass of white sandstone, worn by the winds and waters into a wonderful simili tude of a magnificent city. The Honest Man Who Pays. A DITTY FO?k THE TIMES. Mr. O-car IJ. Harp-el, the well kuown Cincinnati printer and author of The Typograph, seuds us the following a holiday poem which printers might do ' w-ll to send forth as a ''gentle remin der" : There is one among the many, Can you tell me where he stays ? He's an odd, odd-fashioned party, Called the honest man, who pays : Yes the honest man who- pays Every dollar he may owe, Keeping up the good old ways That so many scarcely know. If he gives his word of promise 'Tis a bond as good as gold ; If lie hold a post of honor, Not a trust w ever sold By the honest man who pays Every debt he may incur, Yielding each ajitt award, And no grudging or demur. And I'm told this rare old party Lives within his income, won By the faire.t, squarest dealing We see beneath this sun, And the honest man v. ho pays Always holds it good and right, For the rich to help the needy When the times are toiigh nnd tiirhL An inebriate, some little while back, got iuto ti car, and became very trouble some aud aunoying to the other passengers, so much so that it was proposed to eject him ; but a kind hearted and reverend doctor, who was also a passenger, in terposed fur him, and soothed him into good behavior for the remainder of the journey. Bufore leaving, however he scowled upon tha other occupants and muttered some words of contempt, but shook hands warmly with the doctor, and said, "Good day, my friend ; I sec you know what it is to be drunk." Those who are old enouh to remember the oldest spelling books, will remember the startling asscrsion that, In Adam's full We sinned all.
