Thirty-two years ago, remarks the
New York Tribune,Tthea Douglas left
his Green Mountain home for Illinois.

town in Tennessee; Jefferson Davis,
a Lieutenant of Dragoons, was chasing
the Indian; Seward was grieving over
Lis defeat as Governor; Breckinridge
was studying the orations of Cicero
against Catiline, at a Kentucky Col
lege; Chase was endeavoring to gain
a law practice in Cincinnati: Sumner
was entering a Boston bar; Broderick
was cutting stone; Grant was a school
boy in his teens ; and Farragut was
watching the honor of his flag on the
torrid coast of Brazil.
President Lincoln received on an
average one threatening letter per
day. Most of the cowardly missives
were intended to harrass, but many
breathed the spirit of assassination.

Thirty-Five Millions of Dollars
represent the appalling estimate swept
away by' these several disasters., which re

The claims by these calamities upon this
Institution, aggregating
Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand

were promptly met and honorably paid,
without the loss of prestige or.credlt.
More conclusive evidence concerning
the great advantage possessed under sucli
sweeping perils by an institution whose
income and business are drawn from na
