This Society Is established on the tried and approved principle
of Mutual Assurance. The funds are accumulated for the exclu-
sive benefit of the policyholders, under their own immediate
superintendence and control. The profits are divided annually,
and applied in reduction of the current premiums. Policy-
holders participate in profits after payment of five annual pre-
miums.
The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the
&Ali May, 1854, when a Report of the business for the last year
was presented, exhibiting a statement of most satisfactory pro-
gress. It appeared that the assurances in 1853 considerably ex-
ceeded those effected in any previous year; the number of
policies is.ued being more than 45(1, and the annual income
thereon being upwards of 7,5001. It also appeared that, except
in 1849, when the visitation of the chide• a took place, the claims
arising from deaths were, in every year, much below their esti-
mated amount.
The Members present at the Meeting were fully satisfied with
the Report, and resolved unanimously that a reduction of 31e per
cent. should be made in the current year's premium payable by
all policy•holdeis now entitled to participate in the profits.
Credit is allowed for half the Annual Premiums for the first
five years.

I Patent—Newly-invented and Patented Application t Che-
mically-prepared White Indiarubber, in the Construction of
Artificial Teeth, Gums, and Palates.— Mr. EPH RA I M 110t4ELY,
`Surgeon-Dentist, sole inventor and patentee.—A new, original,
and valuable Invention, consiiiting in the adaptation, with the
most absolute perfection and success, of CHEMICALLY-
PREPARED WIIITE INDIA HUBBELL, as a lining to the
ordinary gold or bone frame. The extraordinary results of this
application may be briefly noted in a few of their most proud-
neat features, as the follovring:—All sharp edges are avoided, no
springs, wires, or fastenings me required, • greatly•increased
freedom of suction is supplied, a natural elasticity hitherto
wholly unattainable, and a tit, perfected with the most unerring
accuracy, is secured; while, from the softness and flexibility of
the agent employed, the greatest support is given to the edjoin-
ing teeth, when loose, or rendered tender by the absorption of
the gusto.
