Are You Insured!

HAMMERS MUTUAL INSURANCE CO.,, II at Granville, Washington Co. N. York Over Twelve Millions (l2.OOO.OOO) insured 1! and are now insuing at the rate of 20, 900 poli- cies per annum. 4 Large Cash Fund on hand This Company has beer. in existence three years, and their success is without a par- allel in the history of Mutual Insurance.
 Their Policies are made on fair and equita- ble principles, giving those insured an equal the full amount of damages, not exceeding the amount insured, without deducting one third, as is customary with some other companies.
 They are prohibited from insuring in blocks or exposed parts of villages, or taking risks on Mills, Shops or Machinery. They are re- sponsible for the correctness of all surveys made ny their Agents, ard agree to arbitrate aH matters Cf difference in the County ,rhere the loss happens. All losses have been paid 10 the satisfaction of the claimant, and before due.
 The increasing Cash fund warrants the be- lief, that no tax on the Premium notes will be necessary for long term of years; and the Directors assure the public that ali losses will be settled with promptness and liberality.
 The following editorial notice of. tbe Com rany, appeared in the Albany Argus, of Oct. 2lst. 1S47.
 ,,.Sfatu0l lnssrdnce.-We notice in the ad- vertisement of the Washington County Mutual among the directors, the names of the Hon. David Russel, late member of Congress. Hon, Solomon s. Cowen, late Judge of Washington Common Pleas, Hon. Cornelius L. Alien, late District Attorney of Washington County. L. w. Bishop, Esq. late Supreme Court Commits sioner, Henry Holines, President of the Wash ington County Bank, George Clements Esq. Postmaster, Fort Ann, Joseph Y. Orvis, of the firm of Lockwood & Orvis, Troy, NY. Under the direction of such men, this hourishing h. stitution seems destined to extend itself to al, parts oi the State. It appears they have issued o,5o5 policies during the last three months which, we believe is the largest number ever issued by Mutual Company in the same time. Their plan of insuring none but detached buildings of the safest kind, is at once popular and advantageous, and seems to be decidedly the most popular plan ever adopted by a Mu- | iual Insurance Company"
 The following is an extract from the Wash- ington Telegraph. of July Is, lS4S: Washington County Mutual L,sa.yanee 1 Company Mammoth Company. after having beaten the world in Insurance bv ,ssu- iHg last year 4,000 policies more than was ever Def re issued by a Mutual Insurance Com pany in one year, appear to be beating ihemsel elves this year. as they have issued 4,920 policies du- ring the last three months Comment appears | to be unnecessary upon the business of the Company, Ns it is the largest and most -four ishing Institution of the kind in the United | States

Pel sons. all weakness and lasstuds, from takil il, at once become robust and full of energy ul,. der its influence. It immediately counteracts the nervelessness of the female frame, which isthe great cause of barfenness.
 It will not be expected ot us, in cases of so deiicatea nature to exhibit certificates of nres performed; but we can assure the afflicted that hundreds of cases have been reported to us - Several cases where families have been without children. after using few bottles of this in- valuable medicine, have been blest with healthy

 GREAT sPRIN1 AND SUMNER MEDICINE.
 The greatbeauty and superiority of this Sar' SaParilla over other medicinesis, whilstIt eradI' cates disease, itinvigorates the body: It's one of the very best Spring and Summer M edtclnes ever known. It AOt only purifies the whole sys- tenn and strengthens the person, but II creates new, rich and pure bloOd--a power possessed by no other medicine. And in this lies the grand secret of it's wonderful success. It has performed, within the past two years, more than 35, GOO cures of severe eases of disease atleast 1000 of these were considered incura' ble. More than
 2,OOO cases of DyspepSIa 400 cases of General Debility and Want of
 7,oo0 cases of the different Female Con- 2,OOO cases of crofula;
 l,5OO cases of the Liver Complaint; 2,5OO cases of Disease of the Kidneys and Dropsy;
 5000 cases of Consumption;
 and thousands of cases of Disease of the PimpIes on the Face, &c. &c.; together with numerous cases of Sick -Hsadache, Pam m the Side and Chest, Spinal Affections. &c. &c.
 This, we are aware. must appear incredible i; but we have letters from physlclans and our agents from all parts of the United States; in- forming us of extraordinary cures. R. Van Boskirk. one of the most respectable druggists in Newark, New Jersey informs us that he can refer to more than F50 cases in that place alone There are thousands of cases in the city ot N: York, which we refer to with pleasure, ana 10 men of character. It is the best medicine tor the prevention of disease known. It undoubt- l edy saved thelives ot more than 5000 Children the pas season! | as it removed the cause of disease, and pre- pared them for the summer season. United States Officer. Cantain G. w.
