1t is stated in the French .lnnules de
y Indpstrie, that the Chestnut tree bark
contains twice as much of the tanning
principle as that of oak, and nearly
twice as much colouring matter as log
wood. With iron it forms an intensely
black and durable ink. Its coIouring
matter has stronger affinity than Su.
mach for wool, and is not affected by air
or by light.

By the terms of the Charter, no policy of
insurance shall be made by the Corporation,
until the sum subscribed by the associates to
be insured, shall amount 10 100000 dollars
1t is necessary therefore that such of the in
habitants of the County, as are DESTROYS of
protecting their buildings from fire, should set
their names to the subscription paper, copies
Of which may be found with the respective
officers and others in various parts of the Coun-
ty. 1t is requested that returns be made at
the adjournment of the meeting to be held at
the Court House on Wednesday evening Nov.
5th, at six O'Clock, where it is expected the
bye laws will be reported.
This Corporation is founded upon principles
')mewhat similar to those of the Massachu-
sets Mutual Fire Insurance Company in
Boston. And from An experience of % years,
it is found that this mode of insurance affords
complete protection, for an expense merely
nominal. BY the practice of that Company,
the ordinary rate of insurance for a wooden
dwelling house in the country for seven years,
is per cent or less. The premium is paid al
the commencement of the policy, and in ad-
dition to this, the owner of the building also
deposits with the Treasurer, a sum equal to
four times the amount of premium. This sum
(Which on dwelling house appraised at 1000
dollars at the above rate, will amount to 500
is Immediately put at interest, and the pro-
ceeds thereof, form the disposable funds of the
Corporation. At the end Of the seven years
(if no loss has happened to the house by Gre)
a settlement takes place with the assured, by
making him debtor for his part of all sums paid
for losses, and creditor for the net amount of
all premiums and interest received during the
term.
The balance of this amount has generally
resulted in an amount due to the assured,
equal to the whole sum deposited, and simple
interest at rate varying from to per cent
year, on the same.
1t is presumed by those best acquainted with
the nature of risks in this County. that this
Corporation, will probably be enabled to in
sure, upon ordinary dwelling houses for one
halt the above rates, but better judgment
can be formed upon this subject after the pro-
mitigation of the bye laws.
