As the holidays are now upon us, we know of no better placs for our resders to go for cakea ana confections for Christmas pur- poses. The prices are at all times the most reasonable and .the goods of first-class manufacture, the proprietor being a man of re- eponsibility who would scoga‘the ides of having s single pound of painted or poisonous candy mixtare in his house, such asis offered at this time of year, especially, by unptincipled deal- ers. We know of no confoctionery where we would rather advise our patrons to buy. His eskes and bon-bons comprise all that is good. such as buns, rolls, egg pufls, jelly cake, cacoa- nut cake, pound cake, fruit cake, desters cake, lady fingers, cinoamon cake, apple and peach cookies, pies of ali kinde, etc., all of which is de- livered to families at the smallest profit. “ Don’t forget that Christmas is almost heroand the * hitsle folks ¥ mnst not be forgotten.

The lot was sold in 1835 by Wallace to the Methodist Episcopal Church of America, with the County Comanssioners as truatees. By a recent decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the Giriffith beire va. The Aethodist Episcopsl Church of Americs, it was held as it wag & forewgn carporation it could not hold real- ty in this State; hence Ar.

Duriog the past week a paper bas been quietly circo- Iated among the admirers of -the eloquent Pro- fessor, and a guarantes fand of £50,000 has been raised to insure the financial success of the proposed ecries of meetings to be inaugu- rated to-day in McVicker's Theatre. Probably’ no man has ever acquired such a hold upon che confidence, affection, and admiration of the peo- ple of Chicago as has Prof. Swing during the vears of his residenco here, and the best evi- dence of tue fact is to be found in the LIST OF BUBSCRIDERS to the new charch, which embraces prominsnt men of nearly evcry creed and denominstion. They are a8 follows : Gen. J. D. Webster, Edmund Burke, Leonard swett, P.G. Maynard, Wirt Degfer, F. M, Corby, N, K. Pairbank, A, F. Hall, Franidin MacVesgh, W._ E. Doggett Alfred Cowles, 3.'V.

Tnat meating was called for the purposs of giving Prof. 8wing sn oovortunity to express his views upon the wubject of the new cburch ta his guarautors, and aivo_to obiain from them their ideas in regard to the financial manage- mest of the enterorise. ‘It was largely attend- cd, nmong those who wera presént being Prof. Bwing, Geu.

The meeting was then or- amized by electing Gen, J. D. Webster as Chair- man, and A. M. Pence, Esq., as Secretary. PROF. SWINO, in response to an invitation from the Chairman, rose and aaid that, being probably not the least basbfal man in the room, it would ba appropri- ata for him to lead in what be hoped would be & géneral and open discussion. The idea of form- iog o mew church npon the present plan had been in his mind for several years, aod ho_had given it caroest considera- tion. Daring the mst Ewo weeks hohad received unexpected enconragsment from & large nnmter of friends, inclading those who were present. He wished to sugeest that, 1 the baptism of the Central Church—{for such was the name already bestowed vpon it—there were two essential things to be considered. First aud foremost, there was the material organizaiion, which included all financial nod business ar- rangemonts. The church society.mmuss be sus- tained like any other similar association. It was not mnecessary tnat all members of the finan- cisl administration be what are called pro- (essing Christians. It was enough if they were hooorable business men. The second l)mub for consideration was, of course, the epiritual, aud thut need not com» befure the present meetiug. Tua thing to bg done immediately was to prc- ceed to tho organization of a Central Charch Bociety, and he would suggoest that the meeting appoint a committes of nine who should sot ag tho legal trustecs of the Society. In order to bring 1t before the meetiog he weuld move that » sub-committes of thres be aprointed to nomi~ nate the Board of Trustees. Tho final sugges- tion which he wizhed to make was that the nine Trustees bo composed of men of different be- liefs ; thus, three to be selected from the strictly orthodox members, three {rom the liberal class, and threo from the radical unbelievers. The motion was carried without discussiop, snd Prof. Swing, W. W. Kimoball, and W. E. Doggett were appointed on the Sub-Committeo. They retired, and after a few moments returned, reporting_the following names: N. K, Pair- bank, W. W. Dexter, Franklin MaoVeagh, W, W. Kimball, O. F. Fuller, W. B. Page, Charles Spring, Jr., Capt. 0. V. Potter, and A. 3. Pence, The report was adopted. ; Beng lgiu called on, Prof. Swing said he would speak brisfly on THE SPIRITUAL PART OF THE PROGRAMME. <He was gomewhat undecided as to the future. It was his impreesion, and bad boen for a long timo, that there was room, and in fact a demand, for a fres church in & central location in this city. Hisdea of the church 6o established was that it should be libers! avd broad in religious seotiment, yet evapgelical. 1f it could sustain relations with someo orthodox deuomination without his being tried for heresy, he would so prefer it to be, He thought it wonld be bettor than to sct independently, s people could in the former case obiamn conuection with the church by letter on confession of faith. A8 TO THE PARTICULAR CREED to be adopted, he bad not thought much. The success of churches, it scemad to him, did not "depend s0_ much upon creeds a8 uUpOD property. Property relations biad stood 10 the way of the success of the Fourth Church. Cheney's tronoles had azisen from tlie ssme cause. He tbought that the new Societv could go along aud bo a Chris- tian charch, and attain unusual success, if it only taok care to keep all its business mansge ment and relations io its own hands. He hoped ~tg see the Central Church established, and toact 28its mmis]mr rm-lgva or (andyalrs, ufir which some one elae conld cume and carry it along with audiminished prosperity. EE GEN. WEBSTER stated that he believed with Prof. Swing that it they were to organize a church thev should have » regular church. Clristianity implied taat, if ansthing. [t hiad uever outgrown that form of religious association. His 1dea was not to take wnv steps in the epiritnal attitude of the chucch notil the movement had gottea.well under way, and the different ideas of the memoers had be- come crystallized 1uto.some kind of unity. The church organization mast come spontaneously, and not be forced. 3 3IR. LEONARD SWETT being called for, said that the radical element aught to be modest enough to epeak lagt oo questions of thig kind. 1t - seemed to bim that what was needed to omke the church successtul was to nures the popular feeling existing 1o the city. Wnat was suggested wounld grow out naturaliy. There was io the city and euburbs = large class of people who wisbed to bave Prof. Swing, and have a central place of worship. The church organiza- tion would grow out of the movement earlicr than was expected. Nr. Carpentor moved that a commitiee bs in- strueted to prepars o statement of the rosult of the meeting, with the names of the committes, ;obu rpad by Prof. Swing ai the meeung to- sy, * AIr. Murry Nelson deaired toask a in Tegard to what would be THE BUBLNESS POLICY of the pew clurch. As he underetond it, the gentlemen présent had signed a paper agrsemg to be responsible for the financca of the church. It eceined 1o bim clear shat the church could bo mansged €0 as to be self-supporting. He question "thought thet plans onght to be suggested and ot owing seid . Swing that plans for selling seats bad been propared, making seats to uv:xgsge $10 or $13, and he would refer thera to the Commit- teo of Nine. AR. CARPENTER #8id he had tried to explain the matter cleatly to the different signers of the paper, 1t seemed to fililm éhnl the Committee of Nine cotnld .I‘t:::dn :qyz etnil, and protect the rantors {re croschuhonts maan thate pockoi-books st tho eud of the year. Ons plan proposed bad been to make s uniorm price for all pews. Dut that offered some objections, and it bad been thought Detter to make a sliding-scale of prices from $5 two 320 a year. The .expenses i had® been .estimated ‘st 812,000 a -year, The iden bad been suggested that the guaran- tors had the right to lklga first choica of the seats, Unduubtedly they had & moral right, but whether it would bé policy to take these poats was an- other question. They ou t themseives 10 any criticiem from outsiders. Mr. Swett moved, and it was carried, that tho business management of the Society beremitted to the Committee of Nine, and that they bo in- structed to rent tho seats without preforenco to anybody. Mr. Samuel Eliss inquired whether any charge woald be made for admiemon to those who wero not "church members,—after the plan of the Sunday Lecture Society. 3 Gon. A. L. Chetlain boped that no charge would 'lie made, as tbe church onght to bo frce 10 the poor a8 to the rich. Nir. Nelson said that the free-church pian had been tried and found wanting. Passing of the hat had also proveda failuro. People would stay away from Coliyer's charch or Bwing's charch, ‘notwithstapding _they were invited in by asbers to partake of the Gospel without prico, but they woula clumb over each ather to get into McCormick's Hall, shere they had to pay 10 conts for o seat. He.thought that a smail charge should be made to outeiders. The Chairman suggestad that this msiter had been already delogatod to the Trustees. After some further discussion the medting adjournsd.

The insurance laws of the several States require thateach company shall possess amplo available cash assets, with future preminms, to meet sll policios in force st matarity, though only 4 or 4}4 per cent is real- ized, and temporary shrinkage of market values of good secarities, for the timebeing, aflects the apparent—though not in fact—financial solidity of the companics. This is no fault of the com- panies, and unavoidable. The Charter Oak ife, of Hartford, Conn., with other com- panies, has suffered under this depressing load originating in unjust cnticism of Its executive munsgement. Thongh the Company possesses over $13,000,000 assots, with an annoal income of aver $4,000,000, over $62,000,000 of insurance in force on 27,000 carefally-selected lives, and had a surplus of over $1,200,000, a8 omciafly ro- ported, yet the depraciation of the marke: values of some of its sessts was exceedingly annoying to its officers, and embarrassing to ils Bosrd of Directors. To avoid this embarrassment, the Company bave gecured the valuablo influece and capital of gentlemen of meaus, to pay into the Company nn smount of agsets ample to make up for a!l teniporary shrinkage of some of its securities, to the present extent of &500.- 060. To secura this , & partial change m its officers becamo requisite, and, a8 may bo seeu by the statement horewith made, Judgs E. R..

HARTFORD, Janme 11, 1875.— James C. Walkley, Lsq., President of the Charter Oak Life Insurance Company—My Dean Sir: In my strictures upon soma of the transactions of your Compsoy, presented 1n my report to the General Assembly of tho State, 1 distinetly guarded agsinst the inference being drawn from them thal vour Company was ren- dered iu the siigltest dogres uuable'to meet all ite obligations aad covtracts promptly. . “The opinion'I gave, that tne ability of. the Compavy to isees all 1ts oblizations ns they come due is abundant and’ unquestiopeble, iy gusety during the pust menth, made not only -withoat objestion by you, but inaccordance with your invitation.” . But, at the ssme time, Mr. Stedman expressed to the Directors the opinion that the gocd of sba Company demanded thzt some arranzemant | bo made by whith a0 amount ehould be contnib- ured to is assets equal to such apparent depre- ciation of ‘market values of some of ite securi- Jes until guch asseis ehould approximate and be- ht not to subject | sa8ed upon a cavefnl examination of ati ils | come equy! Lo thé par value of the same. Such i » course would, m the first place, relieve the | Commissioner from all ofticial embarrassment by | proventing the necessity on his part of setting & { value on certain investments bigher than the severest critics might be disposed to pnt upon them. It wonld also utterly disarm all parsons who, from whatover motives, might be disposed to take advantage of the tomporary depreasion | of values to queation the financiatsolidity of the Company. Acting in foll accord with the Commissioner’s anggeenona, the managers of the Compsny, in order to maxe all of ita asséta good, and to, re- | move all questious relating thersto, havdar- | raiged to supply the apparent deficiency cansed by the market value depreciation of soma of ita securities, To succeed in this they must peeds deal with men of means, posscased of fall knowledge of tho business of life insurahce, and. sble to look into and make valuation of the probable future worth of the sesets referred to. Such men were found; sad carefally guarded negotiations in tho ioterests of the policy-holders were entered into, und resulted most satisfactorily, so that we are now able to aunounce that the sssets of the Company bave been made perfectly secure to the full amount of the reserve required by the most rigid Iaws of the State, Aas a matter of course, it was conceded that those contribating to the assets’of the Company should be represented in its mansgement, and certain changes wers, thorefare, mutually agreed upon. These changes involved the resignation of Mr. Walkley, the President, who retired that lie may give full attention to the interests of the Company In an investment in which it is largely interested, Mr. Walkley's resignation 1akes effect at the next snpual megting, and up to that time the Compauy will haye the benefit of his intimaje knowlegfs of its businesa. It is #lso underatood that Mr, Walkley will, after the time just named, remain ‘as a Director, and be closely idertified with the intorests and success of the Company. Hoo. E. B. Wiggin, lately of Doston, will be at once associated with the Company as act- ing President. This gentleman has been long nnd favorably kuown in connection with large financial interests in New Eugloud, and brings to the Company’s_scrvice a ripe business experi- cnce, combined with s knowledge of the theory snd practice of Iaw, all of great servite fo the Company., In order to make him a Diractor, Mr. H. Q. White, for a lung time holding that position, has resigned, and Mr. Wiggin has been uppotrited 1n bis place. .- Henry J. Forber, EHT' of New York, has been sppolnttd Financial Manager of the Company, from thia date. Alr. Furber was applied to1n the progress of these negotiations as o pentle- iaan possessed of large means aod ample life insarance experience, and haviog assented to the solicitations Gf the Company, was chiefly ins:ro- mental _in supplyivg the required assets before refocred ta. ) Ar. 8.

It will thus be seen that tne practical managemeut of tue Compsny 18 to be in the same direction as heretofore, with the valuablo and bighly impor- tsut eafeguard added that those who have cou- tributed to the Company's assets will take ex- | ceedingly good care to see that the Company’s investients, pest and fubnre, will be 8o nursed i and protected that loss in any direotion through temporary depreciation of market values or oth- erwise will not be likely to occur. The managenient zsks that all now interested in the Company will give their approval to the course adopted, bécauzse it was, and is, based apon the determination tbat the Company should be preserved intact, be made strong for its past cofiracts, and sare of a graud future.

This year has been oue of great prosperity in { the Company’s businese, the new insursnce writ- ton from Jan. 1 to Nov. 1, 1875, being very considerably in excess of the amount written during tho corresponding period of 1874 the agen:s bave earnestly and zeslously supple- meuted the efforts of the officers in their de- termination to securea good year's business, i despite tho so-cailad *'hard times,” and 1% has been accompis It must be t3 all evidence of value to know that the Hon, Joha W.

Two Hundred Dollars’ Worth of Prop= erty for $100. Only two more days remain, After Tuesday next Mr. Ira Brown's hwe residence lots at Park Ridge will be rased in price from 8100 to B200.

The resident of Park Ridge. osn reach the city as quickly a4 the residens of Ashland avenue can reach State street by tue street-cars, and with far greater comfort and less inconvenience. An- other consideration which recommends these lots to tho pnblic is the very easy terms of pay- ment, The purchaser has to pay only $15 down, zhe balanca of 35 being paid in moothly 1nstall- menta of $5 each. ~ Thids small sum nuybody can save avery month, if he tries, by loppiug off his oxtravagances. The opportunity Mr. Brown af- fords the clerk and youug man of smail mesns Lo possess himself of a comfortnble home, and to acquire hatits of indnstry and nmnum{. is one that cannot be too highly appreciated.
