T-O CAL AFPAIItS BROWNSVILLE ITEMS. rROM OCR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Brownsville, Jan. 4, 1870. We sometimes think of offering an apology by way of an introduction ; but we have not time to write it every time, and we are certain that yen have not time and space to set it up. A watch night meeting was held here ; also, one at Wesley Chapel, four miles west from here. A protracted meeting is now in pro gress which is attracting considerable interest. It is conducted by the Meth odists and Presbyterians. Something new has appeared on the streets, in the shape of a son of the Em erald Isle, who is a candy vender, and whose voice can be heard crying on the corners of the streets, saying that his productions can't be beat save with a stick. A young man teaching school a few miles west of here, was dragged to a pond by his pupils and took an involuntary bath in the cool waters and limpid mud of said pond, thereby spoiling his watch and endangering his life, at this inclement season of the year all because he re fused to " treat." A wholesome appli cation of the civil law would be a good lesson for such pupils to study for a while to come. The lesson also would be of vast importance to the parents who board such ruffians. It has got to be no uncommon thing for teachers to be prevented with knives TnE " Scio .News."

"Dallas" tells the following on a resident of Cana da : Said resident was down on a visit, and had been looking at the sights " round town." Upon returning to his "stopping place," he remarked, among other things, that he had seen that loco motive sent here by Ben. Ilolladay. As this was news to his listeners, they in quired as to its whereabouts. He said it was beyant Wood's blacksmith shop; and in reply to other inquiries, said it was a long narrow thing, and from the looks of the tires, he should judgeit bad crossed the plains. Further inquiry proved that he had got sight of Albany Fire Company's hand engine, and as it was the first he ever cast his eyes on, he at once took it for a veritable locomotive which Ben. Ilolladay had sent to this city to create a railroad excitement. At J EFFEBsoNjProf. C. B.

Eversos t Haines, General Agents New England Mutual Life Insurance Compa ny, Boston : Gentlemen On my own behalf and in the name of my orphan children, I beg to thank you, and through you the New England Mutual Life In surance Company of Boston, for its munificence in paying me my terminated policy on the life of my hesband. On tbe Zixt ot January, ISo'J, misfortune compelled me to forego the payment of the last pr:inium which non-payment in any other company would have lost me my policy but I am now overjoyed with the receipt of the amount of the policy (less the amount of the un paid premium only), thanks to the equity of the Massachusetts Lapse Laws, that must bless many widows and their children. I recommend tbe New England Mutual to all who would provide against possible misfortune. I sincerely thank yon again, gentlemen, for the payment, and also for your generous and gentlemanly assistance in the matter. 1 Respectfully, BETSEY MILLER. Portland, Oregon, Nov. 15, 1859. Mkssrs. Everson A IIaines, General Agents of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Com pany, of Boston : Gentlemen Having taken a lively interest in the affairs of a large and destitnte family, left by an old resident of this city, who died Aug. 2, 1869, and who was insured in the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company, we take pleas ure in making the following statement for the in formation of the public : A. E. C. Miller wss insured by ordinary Life Policy No. 13,054, bearing date January 21,1863. He paid annual payments to January 21, 1868, inclusive. Sinee then nothing has been paid. He died August 2, 1869, over eighteen months after the last payment of premium, yet your company working under the Equitable Lapse Laws of Massachusetts, pays tbe widow and orphans the whole policy, deducting only the pre mium due ; while in all other companies doing business here, about which we know anything,the policy would long since have been forfeited, - By tbe New England Mutual, the widow has been paid f4 650 50. Ihis we consider munifi cent, more especially when we take iuto consid eration that the family would not have received a cent from any other company doing business on this coast. - This, in oar estimation, is enough to recommend this company above all others, This is Equity, this is Mutuality. We, therefore, rec ommend this company to the public, aa the only company that has no forfeitures. We herewith inclose you the acknowledgments of the widow.
