Foyvamas, Mex., May 8. The earthquake of the 3rd) was accom- panied by a terrible volcanic eruption at Bahispo, which destroyed Montezuma, killed 160 persons and ignited the woods inthat vicinity. Twenty-seven persons were also killed at Sputu by falling build- ings. Many persons were injured at Grenada and Gusarlar, which towns are almost completely destroyed. Tucson, Ariz., April 8.

The Parnell Letter.

—

Lincotn, Neb., April 7. John Fitzgerald, President of the Irish | National League of America, recently sub- | mitted to a committee the London Times Jac-simile of the alleged Parnell letter, also documents written by Richard Piggot, formerly proprietor of the Dublin Irishman, in which he tried to blackmail the league. The committee after a thorough examina- tion to-day reported they had no hesitation in declaring that the fac-simile and black- mailing document were written by the same | hand.

The Vancouver Horror.

Nanammo, May 8. | An exploring party broke through into

life insurance and will through this medium endeavor to show that the people of Canada | should get life imsurance much cl.eaper | than the people of other countries, and far | cheaper than they haye hitherto been able | to get it. Having this end in view, I shall show that mortality is very much lower in| Canada than it is elsewhere, and that every sential feature that should regulate the

of insurance, known as the Homans plan

Life ouly, can be relied upon to give guaranteed life insurance as safe and far cheaper than any plan being practiced by any other company doing business i Canada

The success of the Federal Life is quite imparallelel in the Canadian experince of if: insurance companies.

Both the Company and its specialty— the Homans plan—court the must careful scrutniy.

‘* Let the lights be turned on and kept an; chen whatever Associations or Companies, old or new, or whatever plans of Insurance can- not bear the light, will be and ought to be destroyed by it. ‘ It is unfortun- ately true that, in very few things are the majority more unwary than in contracting for insurance.” —Judependent.

the Courts, McRae vs. Haley. The Court of Chan- cery was engaged Saturday hearing a mution to dissolve an ex parte injunction obtained by the plaintiff McRae. The parties were partners in a Lohster Factary, and having disagreed, McRue applied for and obtained an injunction to prevent laley rom, going on with the business. Mr. Motson Applied to have the injunction set aside, and Mr. Peters opposed the application, but to-day Judge Hensley allowed the application and discharged the injunction. . ey The appeal case Hardy vs. Vessey is still going on.

The legal fraternity are considerably fexercised over the luss of the keys of the \Law Library. Mer. Weeks, the Clerk of the Crown, reports that the W aterworks Committee made an ex parte application for the loan of the keys, which he allowed on the condition that they would be returned. This, however, has not been done, and Mr. Weeks desires us to state that rather than have any more trouble he will not insist on their being returned to him, but that if the party holding them wil] let him know he will send one of the Court messengers for them.
