A Narrow and a Happy Escape "We hear that on Sunday afternoon last, ou?>much' esteemed friends, Mr. and Mrs. Jsrb; H. HoLLrNGswoRiH, with their little boy, a child of three or four years, met with an extremely narrow cs cape from imminent peril. Driving to call Qn their neighbor, Mrs. JAMES HILL, the horse took fright soon after they had entered her gate, and dashed aside into a field. Mr. H. endeavored to curb him, but immediately both reins snapped en tirely asunder, after which the animal turned and ' tore furiously through tiie gate again, dashing tho buggy violently against Uh? trunk of a huge oak. Its three occupants were first thrown out, and then tho buggy fell with-its top upon them. But, strange to say, all three es caped without tho slightest injury. And this is a horse, which ladies and young girls have been driving for years, a horse thought to be tho most amiable and trupt worthy of .all horses, e Like Wine?-CHd and Strong ? 01dA strong, very reliable, very fash ionable, very popular, is the ancient and hoLjrable Shoe House ?f ALFRED C.

On Tuesday morning, the-18th., while said article was being put in type in our office, its author was* foully murdered in his distant hom?. In another column, copied from the Al bany i Ga.)

Atkin son, while attetupt?ig'to cross the tresse! of thc Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail.Road over tho Grauitoville Canal, fell in. A small boy, only ten or twelve years of ago, named D?unpst-y Gilliland, saw the elli ld when she fell and immedi ately leaped jftfotho -cau.nl to her rese?o-. Thegallant little hero, though ne was onby a lew^earsi the senior of the girl, and of a very delicate organization, suc ceeded in swimming With her nearly' to the bank, when her" struggles and con vulsive grasp caused hiirTto sink with her, and they were both drowned. . This aet of h ero: sui In a boy ?xxyouiig,. is rare indeed, and tho death ol' thc little fellow in his attempt to save the life of I another, cannot but sadden the hearts of \ all who appreciate true nobleness. The father of such a son eau well shrine his memory in his heart, and eVer remem ber in* connection with his untimely death that he died in an effort to save a fellow-being. The whole community deeply sympathize with the bereaved parents. -? ,,m>l-. "Howard." . Again, this week, "HOWARD'' gives valuable statistics concerning thc Free School appropriations for the last two or three years, and asks probing questions concerning the dsbnrsemen t of the money. " HOWARD" is decidedly on thc right track, and the public should feel beholden to him for his effort in behalf of right and justice. He is a gentleman of means, and has no personal interost whatever in the disposition of the Free School funds. " Murder Will Ont." Most of our readers will remember the murder of our fellow-citizen, Price, at Quaker Springs, near Augusta, in De cember of 1867.

This Company Offers the Following Important Advantages to those About Effecting Insurance on their Livest 1st. Insurance at Stosk I \tes-, being fron? 20 to 30 Per Gent, less than the Rates charged by Mutual Companies. 2d. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to the extent of one Annual Premium on his Policy, and will share in the Profits of the Company to the same extent as a Stock holder owning an equal amount of the Capital Stock. 34. fiyery Ppjjpy issued by the Cgmpanv is nQi^forfeitable, and contains a Claiise stating its exact Surrender Value. BEFORE INSURING YOUR LIFE OR ACCEPTING THE AGENCY OF ANY COMPANY 15 KAI) THE FOLLOWING : A lengthened experience lias demonstrated that the rates of Premium ordinarily charged ny Life Insurance Companies are from twenty-five to thiitf per cent, in excess of what aro necessary for a, snj'p and legitimate conduct of the business. In other words, parefqily and'piai?eiitiy-manage? Companies charging "Mutual" rates have been able to return to their policyholders from 25 to 30 per cent, of the amount charged for premiums. When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, the reliability of the data upon which the premiums were constructed had not undergone the test of experience. It was thought, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, meet all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies pf the. business. As long as the matter was involved in some doubt, it w as bette? to fix the rato too high than to incur thc ??di nf makin.git too lp\v ; btv*."*', in the former ouse, the error could bc easily reme? li cd. itt least in part, by returning to thc policyholders, at certain intervals, such portion . of the premium charged as was found unnecessary for the purposes of the business ana thc mmpleic security of the Company. Experience, however, having satwi'aci inly demonstrated that these rates are exces sive, what possible excuse can there LM ?- r inaint?iningthein ? Availing themselves bf th is experience, Hie Directors and Managers of the Universal Life Insurance Company, at its organization, adopted a scale of premiums in accor dance therewith, ami winch has proved to be fair and adequate, and all that was necessary to meet the twjmremi?nfe of the business. These premiums are about twenty five per cent, lower than those charged by Mutual Companies. lt also appeared; inasmuch as du: Tilths BO established'were as near as could possibly be determined fair rates, hud not i:; excess of what Insurance has previously cost the Policyholders in j\tulu(U Companies, that' ail>' profits arising from prudent manage ment" justly apd properly belonged to.thc stockholders of.the*Company, .for thc'nsk incurred .by them in undertaking the business. Experience has show? that there are sources & P1*00*' 'n the practice of the business Which' theory will not admit of being r?n'M?bfed as elements inthe calculation of'thc pn iiiiums.

This low cost of insurance is worthy of attention. Since its organization this Company has received in premiums from its policyholders the sum of $1,517,000. To effect the same amount o? insurance in a Mutual Company would have cost them an initial outlay of $2,000,000. By allowing its policyholders to retain in their own pos session this excess of $433,000, the Universal has virtually paid them a " dividend" of ?nd of one or more years. It $483,000, and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at ?i? e: is impossible to find any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurance at so Low a cost by returning'to its policyholders an equal amount upon similar receipts. SKCoxn.' Participation in the legitimate pro/its of the Company, upon apian which secures to thc policyholders the same treatment which Directors and Stockholders award lo themselves. Tins"system of participation, bi connection with thc low " stock'' rates of premium, must necessarilysecure to thc policy folder's every possible advantage to be derived from prudent and careful management. The low rates of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee to the policyholder his insurance at a rate which is not in excess of tue cost in well managed mutual companies : while, by the proposed plan of participation in what mav be considered tho legitimate profits of thc business, the cost will bc still further diminished. Thus by the combined advantages arising from iow stock rate and participation in the profits it is confidently believed that thc UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance at its lowest practicable cost. E???T Those of the existing Policyholders who desire to participate in thc Profits under the new Plan can do so by making application to the Head Office, or to any of die Agents of the Company. Tlie Company is in a sound fiuancial.condition. ? ' Ratio of Assets to Liabilities 136 to 100.
