The agents were organized into a body by the election of J. E. Godfrey, of Atlanta, Ga., President and N. P. Dolen, of Houston, Texas, Secretary. Their order of bus,ness was as follows: Dividends quarter and : « mi- ancual payments, local board?, monthly re ports, local loans, St. Louis Monthly, best medium of advertising, and experience of agenta. During the discussion of these various sub jects rnauy resolutions were passed, all of which were wise and looked to their success ns agents. Great satisfaction was expiessed at the success of the company. The dividend subject was thoroughly canvassed, and they expressed themselves as pleased with tho ac tion of tho company. The policyholders were organized into a body by the election of Major General T. J. Wood, of Ohio, as President: Colonel J. B. Likens, of Texas, Vice President; and M. I>. Ball, of Virginia, as Secretary. A committe of seven, of which A. W. Ham mond, of Georgia, was the chairman, was ap pointed “to examine into the affairs and con dition of the company and report the result of tbeir examination.” The chairman and secretary of the meeting were added to the committee. The committee subsequently subdivided themselves, divided off their work, discharged their several duties, and, coming together again, made a unanimous repo t, of which the following is an abstract: They considered the erection of the build ing a “judicious investment;” that the num ber of officers and clerks of the company are “ not more than sufficient to perform the work, and that the salaries paid them arc un reasonably low;” that the loans cf tbe compa ny are judiciously made upon a system of ex amination which insures safety—they arc made only upon first mortgage security;” that “ the business of the company is in a sound and healthy state, and that the business pros pects of the company are good and highly flittering.” Concerning the declaration of dividends in 1872, they reported that, having “thoroughly considered the cause and reasons” of that failure, “the building of the new house has not in any way affected it, as the money ex pended in that way has been taken from funds which would necessarily have had to be invested as part of the reserve. The direct and chief cause of the failure to declare divi dends was, that owing to a change in the laws of Missouri and other States, the company has been obliged to increased its reserve from a six per cent, to a four per cent reserve, necessitating the retaining on that account from the sum which would otherwise have been on hand for distribution in dividends the amount of $478,843.” Their report was based on an “examination of minute books, papers and documents, and interrogations of officers,” the officers show ing them “every facility for making a thor ough and complete examination.” The actuary informs us that tbe above amount of $478,813 is the difference between a 4$ and 4 per cent, reserve, being the amount required to be held by the company in other States in which the company is doing busi ness, more than is required to be held by the laws of the State of Missouri; on a 0 per cent, basis of reserve the company would show a surplus of over a million and a half *f dol lars.

Dr. Waiter Burnham, a leading physician of Lowell, Mass., and member of the School Committee, has publicly stated that he thinks the murderous assault by the Fitts boy was not merely a somnambulist’s freak but an in sane act, and that his condition was brought about by over-study in the pnbhc schools. Two years ago, he says, it was evident to him that the boy was being overtaxed, and some time since he recommended that he be taken from school. The Boston Traveller expresses ilf regrets to see General Batter’s name, by the move ment of Ward Three in that city, associated with the cause of free rum. It feels assured that its managers were not his friends, and that, if he runs for Governor, it will not be as a liquor candidate. A few weeks ago the remains of Mr. Tobias Wenger were exhumed in Little York, Ohio, on account of reports that he had been poisoned by his wife. The investigation showed that the charges were utterly ground less, but the lady was so overwhelmed by mor tification and grief at tbe suspicion ca*t upon her that she died of a broken heart a few days 4gO.

Alternate Emotions of Joy and Despair. NARRATIVE OF THE ASSISTANT NAVI GATOR. LOOT TO SIGHT IN THE DARKNESS AND STORM. On the broken ice were most of our provis ions to sustain the party through the Winter, and seeing nothing of the vessel, we attempted to reach the shore, in hopes of finding natives to assist ns in living through the Winter. Getting about half way to the shore with our heavily laden boats, our progress became hard by the drifting ice and I was compelled to haul on the Ice again. PROVISIONS SAVED. At this time I succeeded in saving fourteen cans of pemmican, eleven and a tali bags of bread, ten dozen one and two pound cans of meat and soup, fourteen hams, one small bag of chocolate, weighing twenty pounds; some mnsk ox skins, a few blankets, a number of rifles and abundant ammunition. In the morning, knowing that I had NOT PROVISIONS ENOUGH, and other articles of food, clothing, compass es, etc., on the abatement of the gale I en deavored to shoot as many seals as possible, both for food, light aod fuel, but could ouly get three, owing to bad weather having set in. I supposed the wind to be about south west On its clearing up I found myself withio about eight miles of what I supposed to be the east coast, and about thirty or forty miles below tho ship. The ice being weak I conld not transport boats and provisions to land until it grew stronger. While here I discovered my other boat, bread, etc., and saved all. Tue ICE GREW FIRM. I made another attempt to reach the shore, carrying everything in the boats and dragging them on their keel. The ice being exceeding ly rough, we stove both boats. We succeeded on the 1st of November in getting abont HALF WAY TO SHORE. * Night came on us and very stormy weather. In the morning the ice was broken, and we were drifting southward very fast We saw no more land for many days, bad weather continuing all through the month of Novem ber. We built snow bouses, and made our selves as comfortable as we could. We were ten white meD, two Esquimaux, two women and five childreu m all. We succeeded in killing a few seals, which furuished us with light and fuel with which to warm our scanty allowance of food through the darkness of the arctic winter. Io the latter part of February we lived principally upon birds, and in March commenced to catch seals. Through the month wc supported ourselves on BEARS* AND SEALS* FLESH, wasting neither skin nor entrails. We col lected enough food in this way to last us until the middle of May, had we not been driven to sea by a strong westerly gAle in the latter part of March, our floe piece being then re duced from five miles in circumference to about twenty yards in diameter. We left the piece on the 1st of April, and abandoned nearly all of our meat, a large amount of cloth ing, skins and other articles, taking a portion of the meat in the boat, which we were obliged ATLANTA PAPEI MILLS.

The country will hear with feelings of the most painful interest tbe melancholy tidings published in to-day’s Herald of the misadven ture of the Polaris, the failure of the last great Arctic expedition and tLe loss of its heroic commander, Captain C. F. Hall, along with, probably, a portion of his crew. It is almost two years since the Polaris left the port of New York on her voyage of discovery to the North Pole, »nd “never,” in the words of her commander, “was an Arctic expedition more completely fitted out.’ f lhe Polaris was prepared for her great work with an un- wanted for^notblng. ° All that arTand science I to throw overboard on account of the boats conld provide was furnished, and she set sail btll ‘S »o deeply laden.

On the 21st of April we sighted a polar bear. Every person was ordered to lie down and imitate the seal, while the twoEsqnimaux secreted themselves behind a piece of ice, en ticing the bear near enough to us to kill him.

They furnished the Herald con es- pondent with the DEEPLY THRILLING NARRATIVE of the adventures o( the expedition, the death of Captain nail and the final escape of the survivors, who were taken oft lrom an ice berg by the Tigress on the 30th of April last, in latitude 53 30, after having spent one hun dred and ninety-six days on the floe. DRIVEN FROM THE POLARIS. This party, which had been landed from the Polaris, were driven from her Ly a gale, which burst her moorings on the 15th of Oc tober, 1372, in latitude 72 35. LAST NIGHT OF THE POLARIS. When they last saw the Polaris she was under steam and canvas, making for a harbor on the east side of Northumberland Island. NO BOATS LEFT. She had no boats left of the six which she brought with her from the port of New York. Two were lost in a northern expedition, two were landed on the ice with Captain Tyson s party, one was bnrnt as firewood to make water for the crew, and the other is on board the Tigress. The Polaris was in command of Capiam Bnddiogton, who had thirteen of a crew along with him, aud a plentiful stock of pro visions. Sho was making a good deal of water, hut, as Captain Tyson informed the Herald corres pondent, she was not more leaky than when he w.s on board all the previous fall and winter. HER BOW DAMAGED. Iler bow was somewhat damaged, and it is the opinion of the survivors they will be una ble to get clear until July, and even then, if the ship is unseaworthy, they should have to make new boats to effect an escape. DEATH OF THE HEP.OIC HALL. On the eighth of October, 1871, in latitude , 81 38, longitude 61 44, Captain Hall died of * ! apoplexy, and was noried on shore, where they erected a wooden cross to mark his gravs. He had recently returned from a northern sledge expedition, in which he had attained the latitude of 82 1C. He seemed in his usual health, and had called tbe crew into tbe cabin to encourage them with hopes of future rewards and stimulate them to renewed exertion when he was suddenly struck down and expired, to the grief of those around, to whom ho had endeared himself by his kindness and devotion. ADVENTUr.ES OF THE SURVIVORS. In September, 1871, tho Polaris entered winter quarters, aud left August 11, 1872. The ice was very heavy, and set in a southern direction. She was forced south, and so con tinued drifting till Captain Tyson and party were driven from her. The sledge party crossed Kane’s Polar Sea, which they pronounced to be a strait stoat fifteen miles wide. There was an appearance of open water to the north. The rescued party suffered very much during their dreary drift from hunger and cold. For the last two months they ate raw seal and polar bear as they could get it. When MET BY THE TIGRESS they showed evident signs of their great suf ferings, but during the nine days they have been on board they have improved vastly and are now in fair health. The party is in charge of the United States Consul and will arrive in St. Johns Monday next. CARRIAGE MANUFACTORY. Carriages, Buggies, Wagons, Sewing Machine Wagons, Ac. Send for Price List.

The Polaris is now without boats, having lost two in trying to get North in the spring of 1872. A PROVIDENTIAL MEETING. | 1 ho Tigress fell in with the party iu a dense fog, and providentially struck the very floe on which they were, otherwise they must have perished. They all seem tolerably well. Captain Tyson complained of swelled legs and feet, but nothing serious is the matter with him. When they left the Polaris all on board wero in good health. HOW THE POLARIS LEFT THEM. 1 a ieference to the way in which the Po laris got away from the party which was rescued from off the iceberg Captain Tyson states that he felt little anxiety at first, thinking she would soon come to their relief. “I set my colors,” he said, “as she steamed down along the shore, but tho vessel was soon lost to sight in the bend of the land, and behind what I took to be Northumberland Island. Tbe piece of ice I was on com menced drifting southward as the wind hauled to the northeast, opening a little bay to the northwest of Northumberland Island. I saw the vessel in the harbor there; her sails furled, no smoke issuing from her smokestack that I conld see. I then attempt ed to bring my boats across the floe in an easterly direction, HOPING TO FIND WATER and reach the shore. I succeeded in dragging one boat across, took tho water and attempt ed to reach the shore some distance below the vessel. We were then drifting very fast, and the gale was blowing fresh, with great vio lence, from the northeast, and snowing very fast and drifting. I was driven back on the ice again, and compelled to haul my boat out. Night closed on me and carried us to the southwest. In the morning we were abont thirty miles socthwest of where the ship went in harbor. A heavy sea was running, which broke up my floe piece, separating ns from six bags of bread and one boat. I saw a vessel under steam and canvas rounding a point to the northwest. Thinking she would come to out relief I gave myselj no extra anx iety, but soon we were doomed to disappoint ment, and, from that time until the Tigress rescued us, we never got a glimpse of the Po laris.

Tbe following statement was furnished the Herald correspondent by Captain Tyson: On the 2ith of August, 1871, we left Tes- sinsack and went through Smith’s Bound. We succeeded in getting as far north as lati tude 82 1C, when we returned and wintered at Polaris Bay, latitude 81 38, longitude 61 44. We were frozen up until the 5th of Septem ber. On the 10th of October Captain Hall started on a sledge journey north, and re turned on the 24th, when bo was taken sick, and died on the 8th of November. He was buried on the 11th. The attack that car ried him off was said to be apoplexy. We passed the winter at Polaris Bay. On tbe 8th of June, 1872, we attempted to reach the north with two boats. We hauled our other boat on shore and returned overland on the 8th of July. We started for home on the 12th of August, and on the 15th were beset with ice in latitude 80 02. We drifted from there down to latitude 77 35, when we encountered a heavy southwest gale, the ship being under heavy pressure. On the night of the 15th we commenced landing provisions,^tc., on the ice, TnE VESSEL BEINO REPORTED LEAKING very badly at times. We continued landing provisions for two or three hours, when the pressure ceased. I went on board the vessel and asked the sailing master if the vessel was making any more water than usual. He re ported that she was not. I then went to tbe pumps and ascertained that she was not making any more than she was doing all Summer. BREA KINO OF THE ICE. I went on the ice again aod shortly after it began to crack, and in a few minntes after- j wards broke in many pieces. The vessel broke I from her fastenings and was soon J^A W NOTICE. A. G.
