JACKSON CAUCUS.

A grand Caucus of the Jackson mem
bers Of the Legislature was notified, to be
held in Boston, last evening. 1t is said that
JUDGE MaRToN, satisfied by the diminish
ed vote which he received last fall, that
Jrcksonsm is on the wane, or that the peo-
pie will not countenance political Judges,
refuses any longer to he the candidate of
that party. If so, new selection must he
made, and we are somewhat curious to see
on whom the honor will fall. John Mills
seems to be their most prominent man, but
his eleventh -houriSm is rock of offence to
some OF the originals. His mediocrity of
talent is also objected against him. We
do not, however, see much force in this OBJ
lection, as it does not require much talent,
to he voted down by the people.
The Jackson men have been very busy
in their management at Boston during the
winter, and they are endeavoring to pro
duce an impression that they have had
accessions to their ranks. This caucus
will probably shew the people, if any OF
tier Representatives have been recently
"dyed in the WOOL" We know of two
gentlemen from this County, whom. the
jackson men have claimed, who have bolt
ell, and refGSc 70 saamii their nechs to the

nPThe suggestions in the following
Article will rere:ye additional force from

FOR THE MASSACHUSETTS, SPY.
INSURANCE.
1t is often remarked. as a singular circum.
stance, that notwithstanding the prevailing Gus
tom of insnring buildings against fire, that so
many should be destroyed in this County with
out any protection Of that character. But this
fact will cease to excite establishment when it
is recollected that the number IF buildings in
q he County is estimated TO be from 81 to GO 000
and only about 5 or 5000 are insured, being
but about one in ten of the whole number Now
this is lamentable case Of neglect in providing
for the security and comfort OF families, when
the privilege of Mutual Insurance is provided
-or all the inhabitants of this County in a man
ner so very simple and cheap, as TO bring it
within the reach Of the humblesl owner Of a
building The vast losses sustained BY Insur-
ance Offices, in the destruction of whole streets
in cities, and of large sums, in manufacturing
buildings, suggested the idea, that the owners
of dwelling houses upon farms and in small vii
lagos, we've paying for insurance vastly more
than it was WORTH and that il an establishment
was founded exclusively for the security of our
homes and domestic est Establishments that the
same protection might as well be obtained for
irIfiIng sum, as by paying the enormous premi
ums exacted by offices, who take the most haz.
aFdons risk. With these views, the Worces
Ter Comfy Mutual Fire Insurance Office, went
INTO operation, May ], 1924 They insure for
years, and require small premium, to paid
down being about as much for the whole Z
years as other Offices ask for two. The expert
ment has now been fairly tried, they have met
WITH about as many losses, as the usual average
tor long series of years. These losses fgve
all been promptly met and punctuallv paid, and
they are now renewing the policies upon those
buildings they first insured Besides the pre-.
nIum they require of each person TO make
deposit note of four times the sum paid, to be
used only when the cash funds are exhausted.
Now, at the end of the Z years, they return this
note, together with 50 per cent of the premi.
um. So that the man who paid ten dollars pre-
MUM in March, 1925, new receives back EIGHT
dollars of his money, besides having his proper
ty secured for years. The cash funds now
exceed $4,000, all at interest," so that, it is
confidently believed, that the interest will re-
pair all losses and the insured will have all his
money returned to him. The deposit notes ex-
coed 100000 The funds have increased, this
winter, more than $4,000.
The Springfield Fire Insurance Office safe
and well regulated Institution. has, likewise, an
Agency in this town, where insurance can be
obtained upon reasonable terms, upon all such
property as the Mutual Office declines taking,
excepting Cotton and Wonlen Factories. z.
