PROPOSALS
From the PHCENIX COMPANY,
;* OF LON DO*,
For Insuring House*, Buildings, Store*, Ships in
Harbour, Good*, Ware*, and Merchandize,
FROM LOSS OR DAMAGE BY FIRE.
YNSUR ANCE from loss or damage by Fire, hath been found
1 ^measure of great importance to the happiness of fami
lies, and has given additional security to commercial trans
actions. The,,distinguished approbation with which the
publick throughout Great-Britain received the improved
system of this Office, occasioned frequent application for the
Insurance of Property In the principal cities and towns ofFu
rope and America, and induced the Company, many years
since, to extend their plan to the Western Continent. The
Fhoenur'Coinpuny c»n refer to the unerring test of experience
to ascertain their character; and, gratified by the unbound
ed confidence they have obtained upon the continent of A
merica, and for the purpose of facilitating to the inhabitants
the means of effecting insurance on their propcity, the Di
rectors have lately determined to extend the sum which they
have boeivacciistomed to insure in any single risk, an 1 have
arranged Rates of Premium upon the various descriptions of
property, which they trust, will be found moderate, just
and equitatyc. The promptitude with which this office has
adjusted the Alims of sufferers, and the solidity of the funds,
are so well known, that it is unnecessary to offer more on
the subject, than to refer those who desire information, to
the merchants of London, with whom they correspond.
*„* In this office no injured person is liable to any call
to make grind the losses of others; but in case of Fire, the
sufferer will be indemnified by the company. The compa
ny also make good losses on property burnt by lightning.

Kanhaway LAND, of the. first qualitw
One thousand Acres lying on Duck-Cr.-ck, which is a
branch of Elk River, into which it empties about 20 miles
above the confluence of Elk with the Great Kanhaway. It'
is a parallelogram—finely watered—Duck Creek permeating
every side.
In a letter from Mr Triplett, the surveyor, 1 anl told that
700 acres are bottomed as rich as he ever’surveyed, and that
j the high ground is Teitiic. Mr. B. Rider also informs me that
| he has seen persons who have been on the land, and who
speak of it in the highest terms.
It hes about 25 miles N. E. of Kanhaway court house ; in
a healthy country, eligible situation, and prollers to the in
dustrious every comfort that can flow from judicious tillage
and extensive grazing.
This land has cost me more than five thousand dollars, but
less would be taken, provided the payments be satisfactory.
