VNHE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE
II Company OF New York. No. SO wall 81.

Il Company fNew York. No. 90 Wall 81.
Net amount Of accumulated premiums, s2l5,5 ,57l.
This company Is organized on the purely mutual
principle and It's business is restricted by the char
Ter To the insurance Of lives and granting Snnuites
| and endowmens.
Il commenced without capi tai, on the lst Of Feb
ruary lS43. At the close Of it's second year. (3lst
January, ls45,) il had issued 066 policies, and It's
net accumulated premiums s97 ,272. At the
termination Of the third year, on the 2lst January
1886, the whole number OF policies issued $50,
and its accumulated premiums, after paying all
losses and expenses, s2l5 ,57l; thus exhibiting
increase during the last year Of 047 policies is
sued, and slle, ,265 Of accumulated funds, which is
rapidly augInentng by annual income OF $3.50, :
900, growing out Of original and renewed premiums
and interest investments.
This extraordinary success places the company
in a strong position, and II now ranks among the
safest institutions in the country.
Policy-holders participate in the whole OF the
profits, there being no proprietary interest sub
sCribed capital to absorb any portion thereof. An
extensive and prosperous business promises large
dividends the first division Of profits on the lst
Of February, ls4o, and persons now insuring will
share in these profits If they survive that period.
| The premiums paid annually, and are low
as any American company, and lower than the
English, with participation IN the profits. Policy
holders secured by investments in bonds and
mortgages on real estate in the city Of New York
and Brooklyn, worth double the amount loaned
thereon, and in stocks Of the State and city Of New
| York.
The transactions OF this company are on the
cash principle-eonsequently the survivors Of par
ties insuring with il will not be subjected TO the
heavy drawback Of accumulated premium notes;
reducing the benefit Of the small pitt
tance. .f
Persons may effect insurance on their own lives
and the lives of Others. A carried woman can insure
the life of her husband, which will enure to her sole
use and that of her children
Pamphlets explanatory of the principles Of
mutual life insurance, and illustrating its sdvab-
tsges with forms Of application, may be obtained at

CITY Infrmary and Dispensary.-,rh

III VII ut
~ directors Of this institution take great pleasure
in announcing TO its patrons and friends, that has
undergone many material alterations and improve
ments calculated to add to the comforts Of the pa
tents. The inhrmary has been divided IN such
manner separate the several classes Of patients
VIZ: white and eolored male and female; and, from
its position and regulations, profers retirement and
privacy far az can be wished.
Two resident physicians are in constant attend
ance and the inhrmary Is visited daily at III O'Clock
a.. m, by the attending physician and surgeon, who
also devote as much time as IL necessary for pre-
scrptions, operations and dispensing of medicines
for all such dispensary patients as may be in wait
ing. Besides these attendants, the directors have
been fortunate in securing the services of the SIS
TIERS OF CHARITY, who reside in the infrmary,
conduct its sfair asd give their undivided attend
ton 10 the nursing and comforts Of the siek.
Private patients may enter the iDhrmary under the
special care Of any one Of its directors but other
wise will comply with The regulations of the insttu
ton. . % .'. ...
In consequence OF the heavy expenses incurred by
the directors in making the arrangements, they
under the necessity Of charging patients according to
the following schedule, viz:
Private patients. ...s5 per week.
First class Of patients. ...........4 do.
Second class. ....-.............3 do.
Cases oil mania potu. 50 TO SlO do.
In every instance the board must be paid weekly,
10 tne WHO ID
to receive il, or security for its payment must be
given, the security being responsible citizen of this
District.
II is to be regretted that the directors have been
unable carry into effect the great design of this
stituton as from the heavy expenses incurred they
cannot extend their charities to the poor as far as
they could wish Thus far the receipts from patients
have not met the current expenses; hence but few
charity patients have been can be received, unless
aid be given by corporation and citizens. 1t is
gratifying however, to the directors 10 have had il
IN their power the of humanity through
their dspensary arrangement, by which hundreds
of poor, sick, and disabled have had dispensed to
them medicines, with medical and surgical advice.
All classes Of diseases will be admitted into the
infrmary, except smallpox and maniacs. For
these, the directors regret to say, provision has
been made.
The nfrmary will be open for visters daily in the
afternoon. DIR. THOMAS MILLER,

The Country and the Crops.--To one
who dwells in the quiet of the country,
and is unaccustomed to the monotony OF
village or city life, the enthusiasm
with which the dweIlers of the latter
fly out TO the former, on every occasion
when they can do it, seems transcend
emily FOOLS h. But one who is confined
from month to month in the same place,
and in the same business, and com
PEELED TO look every day upon the same
objects and hear the same sounds, only
knows how to enjoy the landscape en-
ameied with flowers of all hues, boun-
ded by mountains ribbed with rocks
and laved with babbling brooks that
gush from their base. The widespread
fields, the waving corn just siking and
tasseling, the cotton blossom just burst
ing open, and the songs which the min
strels Of the air MARBLE, spring in the
bosom Of the carewotn aud sad foun-
tain of felicity from which thousand
streams wander forth to revive, to glad
den, TO renovate and to rejuvenate the
whole man.
We have been rusticating in the coun-
try within the last few weeks, and took
occasion to notice the crops as we flew
about. Our observation has been con-
fined to this county and Lafayette on
ly. We have scarcely ever seen bet
ter prospect for a full crop of corn, and
the abundant rains which have since
fallen will render 1t certain. But we
cannot say so much for the cotton pros
pect. The stalk has, in consequence
OF excessive rains in the spring, ran up
TO an unusual height, and has But few
squares. There are exceptions, how
ever, and here and there are to be found
some fine fields. A dry fall and late
frost would be- desirable TO the cotton
planter.
