Yesterday’s Record of Miscella- neous Misdeeds. KENTUCKY LAWLESSNESS, ., Nov.30.—Jackson, the coun- 1y seat of Breathitt County,distant about nivety miles from Mouut Sterling, has beco the scene of a serious outbreak and. bloodshed during the past week. The place has a bad reputation for lawlessuess, and it is not a great while since 2 detachment of the State Guard was required to preserve order. The present trouble results from a collision between two rival bandsof out- laws, one under Capt. Bill Etrong, of Home- Guard fame, and the other Jack Aikman. Tbe Strong party took posscssion of the town Mon- day, committing many acts of lawlessness, and petting reckless from drink. Durine the after- noon the Aijkman party, twelve or fiftcen strong, rode into town and made an attack on the Strongs. Thirty or forty shots were discharged, two taking effect on William and Daniel Freeman. The former was shot through the body, the latter through the head. They were removed late in the afternoon to their homes, several miles up the rivér. Daniel Freeman is recovering, but William is dead. Strong and his followers received no injuries, ‘but barricaded themselves in a little log cabin about 100 yards from the Court-House, where they had previously stacked their arms. Alk- ‘man 3ud bis party sought shelter in the Court- House, and o regular interchange of shots was kept up during the whole afternoon. One of the Freemans who fell in the middle of the street when shot was foreed to lie there for two hours, nis friends fearing to sttempt his re- moval. Dauring this strife; hideous yells and shouts of deflance could be heard from both parties. 5 The next morning (Tuesday) it was discov- ered that Aikman and party had withdrawn from the Court-House, and quartered them- selves near the river bank, while Stroog and his clan held their fort untaken. About 10 o’clock Strong retired, and soon thereafter straggling aruuken men, well armed, began to parade the streets in defiance of all law:and order. It was soon whispered that tne guard which had been seot to Lexington, under charge of the’Sheriff, to bring back Jason Little, charged with wife- murder, would soon return, and an effort would be ‘made to release the prisoner. A willing +leader was found in a Justice of the Peace named J. C. B. Allen, supported by the Littles, Crawfords, and others, numbering about forty, wholoitered about the strects,impatientlywaiting “for the guard to appear. Judge Randall, to de- feat the aim of the mob. had the Deputy-Sheriff and County Judge detail an extra guard.of fif- teen men, who went under the leadership of the County Judge, Jobn W. Burnett. ‘About 3 - @'clock p..m. they returned with the prisoner, -and safely confined him in the jail. Tne guard numbering about twenty-five well-armed men, no cffort at a release was made; but immediate- 1y after the guard returned from the jail to the strect, and beran to disperse, thinking the dan- ger was over, Crawford and Little began an at- tack on Judre Burnett, threatening to take his life. The excitement began to run high. Yell after vell rent the air, and suddenly a volley was poured in on the- guard who, taken by surprise, sought shelter at cvery’ guarter. During the discharge of this volley Judge Burnett was shot through the heart and instantiy killed. Then a constant firc was begun, and was kept up during the whole evening) sand diabolical yells were kept up by the victorious mob as it gained the ad- vantage. Allen and his men, being in the Court-House yard, sought sheiter behind the Cierk’s office and in the court-room, while the guard retreated up the street 1o the point where Strong and his clan were barricaded. The forces now numbered some thirty or forty on each side. The men were all well armed with the latest improved Colt’s navy repeaters, Spencer and Ballard rifles, aud, being . #ood shots, could kill their man from 100 to 200 ¥ards, wherever he might appear. During the picket-shooting, 2 posse of Allen’s clan, with axes, attempted to burst open the jail-doer and rescue the prisoner. At this point Tom Little, of Compton, a brother of Jason Little, appeared upon the scene of the conffict, and made an ef- . fort to quell the riot, but was suddenly shot throurh the body, which caused the jail-breakers to desist. The Allen party deserted tbe Court- House last night, and the Sheriff and posse took possession, thus commanding the door to the 3jail. “No court has been beld, and the Circuit- Court Judge suddeniy disappeared this morning before 7 o'clock, leaving no orders as to thbe disposition of the prisoner, Little. A was detailed to diz the grave or the interment of Judze Burnett, and the spot sclected was by the side of his sweetheart who ‘died one year aro. Ladies and citizens who came 10 town to-day to attend tie funeral Jhave beaten a hasty retreat. ‘The latest news from Breathitt is in a special to the Lexington [ress, dated Mt. Sterling, Nov. 30. which states that Jackson is still in posses- sion of the mob, but that the champions of tne laware in possession of the Court-House ana ail. Picket firing is kept up, and many citizens ave been killed and wounded. No action has Jet been taken by the Governor. ..

A JUDGE OF TITE UNSTED STATES SUPREVE COURT VS. THE PRESIDENT OF THE MUTUAL LIFE-IN- SURANCE COMPANY. _**It was the object of the Court to Iny down the Idiwr, nawely, that a policy of Jife-insurance, which ‘has run for” some period of time, /as an equitable value, of which ii would be unjust to deprive the nssured. without any fault of his own.™ 'he above extract_from a letter addressed by one of the Judges of the United States Supreme Court to a distingished Actuary in Boslon, refers to tho decision of that Court in the case of - Statam vs. New York Life-Insurance Compuny, and is In ac- cordance with the simplest principles of decency and equity. After the decisfon was rendered, the two worthies who coriduct the affalrs of the Mutual Life-Insurance Company, with no more regard to the Interest and wishes of its policy-holders or its trstees than if such-persons bad no existence, devised a plan for overriding or circumventing the decision, and it is found in the foilowing stipula- tions which form a part of every policy (by express agreement in all applications) now issued by the largest company in the world: . . . That no returnof the premium paid, nor of any portion thereof, or of 4 surrender valne, either in cashor in paid-up or other insurance, shail be made by or claimed from the Company under tne laws of any of the United States now or hereafter enacted; and the said applicant, in con- sideration of the lssuine of the policy applicd for, hereby walves ull benefit and advantageof any such law. It is safe to predict that with the eyesof the public seratinizing their conduct more sharply than ever, no other Company will dare to repeat this piece of infamy. The agreement which pro- posing policy-holders in the Mutual Life ate clan- destincty induced to enter into (for few ever read or keep a cony of thelr applications) is one of the most monstrous outrages which the history of life- insurance swindling has ever developed. THE ENORMOUS TOTAL OF LAPSED INSURANCE. One of the most serious drawbacks to life-insur- ance is occasioned by the very large number of lapses occurring chielly nmong persous 1n sound Lealth, either by forfeiture, by surrenders for cash, or by exchanges for paid-up insurances. Thus the discontinuances among policy-holders in companies transacgnz business in the State of New York are showh in the following exhibit taken from officiul sources: ® i Y DEATH. Amount, 17 564,445 S1,446,075, 197 o principal defects of life-tosurance is that arising from the abuse of the proyy eyateni. The ofticers of the large companics have dilizently collected, through azente, a vast number of prox- ics, suflicient in number 1o perpetuate their power and-tenure of oflice despite the efforts of thoge in- terested. This s all wrong, and should be stopped. In Massnchusetls there s a law prohib- iting any insurance oficer from procuring, holding, or custing, aicectly or indirectlv. s proxy. The State Legislatures should emact that no proxy should be valid except for the election named in the instrament, or that they should be vaid for one year from the dates when given. In view of thé recent action of the Mutual Life donating 30 per cent of the regular premiums on new insnrances for two years. thus admitting nesv members on terms more favorable than those exacted from older members, we would sugzest that every policy-holder in that Company should at once write to the oflicers recalling and canceling ‘This would be 2 mi’1 but elective rebuke yor their conduer, which, to say the least, is of donbtfal legality, and a warn- fng to which they woula certainly give heed. Ourlife insurance companies hold, 1n the form of rescrves or trast Geposits, belonying wholly to . policy-holders, the enormous sum of $400, 000,000, and yet, wifh a few unimportant esceptions, 10 one of tiem has the slightest evidence of his right to any portion of his own money in case he should e unwilling or unable to continue his payments.

The Board of Trade iill next Monday afternoon cousider the recent proposition to fix the rates of commission on buying and selling produce. The Milwaukee wheat market has recently been low that in Chicago. The difference averaged abont 3jc during s large part of lnst week The Chicago prodnce markets were rather tame Saturdsy, and averaged casier, in ‘sympathy ywitn duliness in New York, and sparse news from Liver- pool. The last day of the month did not bring with it any special presenre to provide for De- cember deliveries, and there were not many offerings, the = property eeeming to have been mostly placed previously; out tkere were few outside orders, and local buyers seemed to have lost the confidence they exhibited earlier in the week. Ilogs were dull, and this made products weak. Wheat declined %c, and corn fell off Zic, but there was a better demand for flour for ship- ment.- Saturday theoretically closed the season of navigatfon, leaving the forwarding business to the railroaas, Jobbers of staple and fancy dry goods reported a quiet and unchanged market. For tie time of year the dewand was faurly satisfactory, being quite up to the average. In the grocery market there was nothing new to note. Trade was fair ung prices of most descriptions were steadily held. Coffees are handled with some reserve, prices still being in an unsettled state. The dried froit trade- continues reasonably active with prices generally well sustained. Fish remained quiet and steady. The butter trade” was dall “for ail grades below choice. Desirable table butter was wanted at fully previons prices, eales making at 20@25c. Cheese was dull and unchanged. There was little change in the leather, baeging. tobacco, coal and wpod markets. Coal and wood were dull and unchanged. The yard lumber market was steads; under a moderate demand from the interior. The arrivals at the ssle docks were very slim. and the cargo market little better than nominal. ‘The broom- corn markets was moderately active at recent prices. The receipts continue heavy, and the lower grades are somewhat weaker. \Wool was steady. Seeds were quict in comsequence of the limited offerings, for there was some . demand from local dealers. Uides were steady under a fair inquiry from deal- ers and tanners. Potetoes were quoted stronger In consequence of diminished receipts. The market for puultry and game was demoralized under big offerings, which have been increasing since Thurs- day, and the weather was very bad for dressca stock. Prices were very low; but few buyers were onthe strect, the majority having heavy supplics on haud. Lake freights were quiet, and nominally un- changed, at 6bc for wheat by sail to Buffalo. TRoom was taken for 32,000 bu cornto lie here during the winter, and 1,000 bris flour and 3,000 bu wheat at 733¢ to Buffalo by steam. Ral freights were quiet at the advance of last Monday.
