on Goods coittaWitrd in such Buildings) distant from
Philadelphia. in the United States.
I. Jommoß lufurancef, on hazard* of the fir ft
elaPs, will be undertaken at a premium of ahout
hall ptr cent, pet annum. For extra Nazardous
rifquvs a larger will be squired, which j
will vaiy according to circuvftances, seldom ex- '
ceedinv ©ne per cent, per annum ; biit in fame in
ftancs, v/hcre the property insured is not only in

Again ft fires from w thin, and tree from extra ha
sar.iL'Us buildings and occupations in their neigh
borhood, will ht deemed hazardous of the firft
class, and may be insured to their full value.
Also Goods and Merchandize, not o an extra
hazardous kind, in calks : bales, or package, de
politcd irk such buildings, to an amount not ex
cec iihg 4 000 dollars ; but if more than this sum
is required to be insured in one tenement, an addi
tional prem»um will be required, in proportion to
circumtlarees.
H. Info ranees will also be made on building? and
gor».li{xrrs hazardous, at premiums proportioned
to rh« ri'one But ir is i«nt t \fy to arrange tlnfe
un ler pip ieular or clafTes, so as to describe
each wit) l th r necessary accuracy. Each cafr "tiuft
therefore he decided upon according to theciVcum-
tHiding it ; and these circumftancrA wili,
in general, appear from the dcfcriptu n accompa
nying tke application.
Buildings partly conftru&ed of brick or stone,
are prt-f. rable to those wholly wooder. And in
both caft-s, the stile of huiWinty, how they are oc
cupied, how they are situated, the neighboring
buildings, and how occupied, are considerations to
be taken into view. And withrefpe.fl t© goods,
their tendency, whether fr»m |hi ir nature, or
from the manner in which they are cxpofed, ether
to commence"cir to increase an accidental fire, a»d
their liability in ftich Hate to receive damage by
ws, or by sudden an-J haQy removal, or to be sto
len in time of confuiion and hurry, are all cir
cumstances of weight ; and the premiums must be
proportioned accordingly.
HI. The following conditiont are to be under
stood by the part ies .
I it. The Insurance is nrt binding till the fttpu
laftf.! premium be paid ; but it shall be deemed ef
feclral from tie time of such payment and accep
tance thereof, whether the policy "be immediately
signed or tint.
ad. Infurance# may be renewed at the expira
tion of the term of the pojicy, without further ex
pt rfe* than the payment of thV premium of the re
ae.f-e.-J term, the circumftancescontinuing the fame
as they were nnderftoou by the Infurcrs at the time
the farmer insurance was made ; hut the payment
of the preiy ium is elTential f© such renewal ; and
if the party insured fuffers any time to elapse dfter
the expiration o. tV.c former iufurance, before he
p ys a premium for the lar.cwal, he is liot insured
during such time ; nor can the insurance be renew • 1
*■-<1 fin the former policy I>4& by commuting t-he
£ymifci r.cem«n t<> f the renewal from tht expiration

e Anioeg the many advantages of thisfituation,
[1 must be numbered the fertility of the funewnding

r-1 course by land and water, the Geneffee ftateroad 1
paHing through it, as well as all water carriage to
