INSURANCE WPANY

| A Ii Persons insuring in this company are
N members equally interested in its welfare
and in the election of its officers.
In order to become a member of this company
and thereby be insured, the applicant gives pre-
MUM note, the amount of which is in proportion
to the amount to be insured and its degree of
hazard, thus: If $1,000 is to be insured at 3 per
cent, he gives his note for $50. IfS 10 per cent.
he gives his note for 500, and in chat proportion
for greater or less sum, according to the rate of
hazard, on which note he advances per cen: and
an additional sum of 81 so for survey and policy
He then becomes member on the approval of
his application and is insured for five years The
aggregate of the premium notes constitutes the
cash fund.- chargable first, with the expenses, and
second, with the losses Of the Company:- and
should it prove insufficient to pay both losses and
expenses the money to meet the losses, (should
any occur is borrowed agreeably to the act of in
corporation. and paid. An assessment is then
made to repay such loan upon the premium notes.
in proportion to their respective amounts and in no
case to be made but once year, notwithstanding
several losses may happen.
AT the expiration of five years the note, if any
assessments have been made and paid, is given
up, and the insured may renew his application
Policies may at any time be assigned or sur
rendered and cancelled and the premium notes
given up, according to the bylaws of the Com
pany. No more than three fourthS of the cash
value of any property will be insured, and all
great hazards: such as Cotton Factories, Powder
Mills, Dlstilleries, Machine Shops. Manufactures
for Printers Ink, and all establishments of the
same class of hazards, are not insured upon any
conditions whatever, and that no one risk is taken
over $4,000, it is considered much more safe and
less expensive than in Stock companies, where
they insure large amounts and hazardous proper

Enteresting Law Case.

The Washington Correspondent of the Bos-
ton Atlas SAYS that an interesting case is now
on trial IN the Supreme Court, arising out of
the following facts: A gentleman residing in
Maryland had allowed an aged pair of his
slaves substantial though not legal freedom for
several years. While thus living, daughter
was born to them, who grew up in the same
liberty, until she married a free negro and wen.
with HIM to reside in Pennsylvania. They
had several children, and lived unmolested nm
I'll the original owner died, when his heir ar
tempted TO regain them; but the magistrate be-
ioIe whom they were brought, decided that he
had no jurisdiction IN the case. The owner
seized the woman and her children in the night.
and carried them TO Maryland far which he
was indicted and demanded by he Governor of
Pennsylvania OF the Maryland Executive. A
correspondence enSued, which finally brought
The case into the Supreme Court

JUGs.-The jug is the most singular utensil;
a pail, tumbler, or decanler may be raised and
you may satisfy yourself by optical proof, that
the thing is clean, but the jug has little hole
in the top and the interior is all darkness No
eye penerates it, no hand moves over the sur
face. You can clean it only by putting in wa
ter, shaking it up, and pouring it out If the
water comes clean, you judge you have sue
ceeded in purifying the jug, and vice versa
Hence the jug is like the human heart. No
mortal eye can look into its recesses, bu; you
can judge of its purity, only by what comes out
of il.

How to get a Great Name.

Those members of the Legislature who for
the want of either talent or consistency TO keep
their heads above water, or rather from entire
ly sinking into oblivion, have happily hit upon
a new plan TO enrol their names upon the scroll
of fame, and appear TO the world and posterity
tha they were great men. Indeed, il appears 10
be The only idea that engrosses the attention of
some members, and it is not so bad particular
ly for the Editor Of the "SIGNAL," at Harris
burg 1t is no less than this:-The editor of
that print, or probably the members themselves
for aught we know, write puffs, something sim
liar to the obituary notices of the good and pi
Gus, which are published in that prnt-the
members then purchase the papers, some so,
some 100, and some 200 copies-they are then
packed up and distributed--not upon the four
winds of Heaven, for that wouldn't answer the
purpose-but all over the State and that too at
the expense of the Commonwealth. This is
the "last effort" TO ascend the pnacle of fame.
The old plan required too much labor to work
their way up, The new plan is much easier
The "Signal" can be had cheap and neither
labor nor talents are required. They are at
once pronounced great men, and are sent forth
to the world in print as Solons.

The Bankrupt Law and the State
HnSOlyent Law.
TAKING THE BENEFIT"

There is an important difference in the oper-
alton of our State Insolvent Law, and that of
the National Bankrupt Law, which has just
gone into operation.
Those who avail themselves Of the benefits
of the State Law, are free from arrest for the
debts they may be owing at the time they de-
clare their insolvency; but their future earnings,
and the property they may thereafter accumulate,
aciU be held liable for their old debts OF course
they are kept 'under the harrow" till their old
debts are paid.
Those who avail themselves of the benefits
Of the National Bankrupt Law, are not only
free from arrest, but they ,UaSh themselves clean
Of every debt, neto and old, under which they
may be labouring, and their earnings, after they
receive discharge, cannot be touched By any
creditors for debt eriSting at the time Of such
discharge. The reader will at once perceivs
the difference between the operation of the two
laws.
We should not be surprised if thousands who
have taken the benefit Of our State Insolvent
Law, within few years, and are still oppressed
with old debts, should feel themselves called
upon, as matter of justice to themselves and
their families, to take the benefit of the judi
cious and humane law, passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress.--Daily Chronicle.
