from which it appeared that during the pest year the board
had gives unremitting attention to the perfection of the
office ontanatioe, and two or more directors had attended
daily at the office to conduct the routine business of the
company. The facilities thin offered for the speedy com-
pletion of policies had materially conduced to the increase
of business, which bad continually progressed front May,
1863, the first monk of the finaacial year, to April, 1864,

restricting accidental insurrace to persona of good character
and of temperate habits had been prominently shown. The
claims for occupessation, as a rule, had been satisfactory and
easily adjusted, and the promptneas with which the com-
mon bad met all just deuntode had had a favourable
influence on the eatensioo of the butanes. Every week, all
claims due were settled at the board uneasy, and trades-
men's sad other accounts were paid once a month, to pre-
