RIcHMoND, Ju1Y l0th, 1904.
THE very extraordinary fires thar have taken
place since the institution of he Mutual ill.,
surance against Fire on Goods and Furniture i'm
the State Of Virginia, renders 1t necessary TO alt
Quota from each member who was insured tre-
vious to the 2Sd of February last. The Board OF
Directors therefore resolve. ard it is hereby re-
CURED, that each mer.her insured as aforesaid
shall pay to the Cashier Genera. OF his Company
in Richmond, or before the first day OF Oao-
Der next, one full Quota, that is to say the full
amount of premiums as expressed in their respec-
tive policies.
A compliance with requsition will reinstate
the funds agreeable TO the intention OF the law e
the rules and regulations OF this company, and
thereby enable them to pay for losses in Future.
and when it's considered that many of the mem.
bers have been insured more than six years for
premiums which do not average more titan per
cent the advan'a ages Of this humane institution
will no doubt be properly appreciated.
Punauality is expected and when the members
of this company advert tc the incorporation ads
they will see the necessity of sria compliance
with the above requistion. IT is however, Meas.
ing to reflect, that we have succoured the dis
tresses Of so many Of our fellow cizc-s who
might have been reduced to poverty. and lsdfhe,y
not insured in this company they might not have
insured at all, while our property has been at
the same time insured for less than half az
much IS it would have cost had we insured elsc d.

700 pounds, in l75l, $4,000, in l765,
t22 900, aud in l772, ST. 900 pounds, ire
pied every twenty years. The flour alone
/ o; i7T2, consisted of.282,S72 barrels. at .
cwt each. The quantity Of grain, -four
aud bread only, including Indian corn, ex
ported from British America, in IVA, the
last year OF our dependence upon Great
Bri'aIn, was gwen from Virginia above a
million bushels; from Maryland near six
hundred thousand from Philadelphia
bove two million, one hundred thousand {:
from New York one and ali half million,
besides $4,000 bushels from Quebec,
making above five and All half million of
bushes. The average OF exports from
t.ng'and for 10 years before l765, did but
aittle exceed that quantity.
But the attention of our country is no,
confined to commerce. The study of ma
ture has kind assistance. DIR. Barton of
Philadelphia has laboured with reputation,
not only in giving us u general knowledge
OF botany, but in arranging such plants as
have been found useful TO man, from the
experience of the natives, and from the
experiments OF able physicians. ThecoI.
lections from an Essay towards Ma,eria
Medlca have real merit. In his Botany,
while he has bestowed deserved praise up
on the immortal Linneus, he has ingeni-
ously proposed the difficulties which en-
barrass his system, and the parts in which
1t is disposed. And whenever he adopts
new opinion, or consents 10 any change,
he IS successful in convincing us of the
cause which determines him. He is not
entirely inattentive to the agreeable, while
he assists the student in his useful pursuit.
AS specimen we shall atlduce his remarks
on seeds. " The fertility of nature in the
production OF seed is almost incredible,
ana is circumstance well calculated to
display The unbounded libcraIity of nature,
and the immense quantity OF life that may
spring from 4 solitary embryo. A single
stalk OF Indian corn produced in one sum-
mer 1000 seeds: in the same period, a
plant fElecampane produced 5000 seeds ::
Inc common Suuiipwer, 1900 The poppy
$1,000. a single spike oil Cats Tail pro
d'ced 10000 seeds and upwards. A sin.
gle capsule of the Tobacco was found ,o
contain 1000, and cre ur the White Pom
py 5000 seeds. Each Capsule of the Va.
nlila contains from 10 COotoI5,OOO seeds
Mr.. Pray informs us, from actual expert
ments made by HIMSELF that 1912 Tobac.
co seeds are equal in weight TO one grain /;
and that the weight OF the whole QUANTITY
ot seed IN single stalk Of Tobacco, is such
that the number OF seeds. according to the
above mentioned proportion, must be $780,
1000. The same learned naturalist est.
mates the annual produce Of single stalk
OF Splctnwort to be upwards of one mill.
Oh OF seed. DR.. Woodward has calcula-
ted that single Thistle seed will produce
at the first crop $4,000 seed and, conse.
quenty, 576.ooo,oOO OF seeds at the Sc
cond crop Well might Virgil say, that
the Thistle becomes dreadful IN the corn.
