This extraordinary success places the company
in a strong position, and it now ranks among the
safest institutions in the country.
Pocy-holders participate in the whole OF the

extensive and prosperous business promises large
dividends on the first division Of profits on the Isl

share in these profits if they survive that period
The premiums are paid annually, and are as low

English, with participation in the profits Policy
holders are 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

The Picayune says that she struck nj,

River, at l2 o'clock at night and almost
Instantly turned bottom upward. There
were about 30 on board, nearly all Of
whom were in their berths. OF those
who reached the shore, great numbers
j''o-e to death, as the night was bitterly
cold and they had not been able, in their
enforced haste, to secure any of their
clothing.
We copy the following from the

The steamboat Diamond came along

covered the wreck Of the Belle Zane

boat picked up sixteen of the passenger
o' the latter at two different points on the
Arkansas side. The unfortuna,es, after
suffering incredibly from the cold, were
finally landed at Napoleon, wh-ro the
balance OF those snved on the Arkansas
side had prevIously assembled. 1t seems
That immediately after the accident the
cabin separated from the hull, on which

names OF those lost could not be ascer-

were live ladies' on board, all Of whom
were fortunately saved except Mrs. b.
Several of the unfortunate passengers
came down on the Diamond to a point
above, and six others came as far as this

were lost. The Tropic says that GO out

disaster is mos, deplorable. The cargo,
consisting mainly of -four, the u. S. mail.
&c. were also lost. The Bee says -
The accident occurred about Ie o'clock
al night, when most Of the passengers
were IN their berths. The shock was 40
sudden that il started them from their

was so rapid, that they had no time to
