Wv by Fire, which have taken p!ace,

is believed to have been more extensive
and injurious than any one which has ever
happened In America, and by the payment
OF which, and TO comply with the acts OF
incorporation of the Mutual Assurance

1t is no small consolation to say with truth,
that the society will thereby be enabled
to meet any future accident as fully as if
no loss had ever been sustained by it.
1t Is unnecessary to enlarge on the me-
sessity OF payment being made pointedly
to the day. Prudence, Justice and hurna.
NIFTY, all calling loud for puncluality, par
tcularly, when it is recollected that the
act OF incorporation has the following
use;-" Whatsoever any person or per.
sons shall neglect to pay such quotas, the
assurance TO him made, shall cease and
discontinue from the day on which they
become due, until paid" In addition 10
which, compulsory means, may also be
resorted to, which will be expensive 10 the
insurers, and painful to the direction.
1t is worthy the attention Of all interest
ed to rccollect, that as the exact amount

policy, he can be at no loss to understand
precisely the sum now called FOR by the
