The Directors herewith submit the fifth annual Re-
port of the condition of the Company.
It will be from this that the amount Of pro-
perry insured has reached nearly Four Millions of
Dollars, and that have hand about five
hundred thousand Dollars in Premium notes; and the
Company may now be considered as being establish
ed upon a safe foundation and with good management
to guarantee to the members full security from loss,
expense sufficiently small satisfy all reason

AT the commencement of our institution, the first
Of the kir in the State want of confidence in the
principles of Mutual Insurance, and want of expert

obstacles to prog but trust these difficult
ties mostly if not entirely overcome, and that
with each succeeding year liabilities TO oss will
be lessened, while at the time the business Of
the Company will be gradually and permanently ex-
tended
1t hoped that the current receipts of the year
would have been sufficient TO meet all demands
against US, and indeed remarkable exemption from
losses seemed to justify this hope until within short
time OF our annual meeting, when two considerable
losses occurred which made assessment upon the
premium notes necessary.
To meet these demands, the Directors at once made
an assessment of per cent, which will all

them entirely free from debt. Regreiting the necessity
for any assessment, cannot but express graft
hcaton at the successful results which have followed
our operations thus far. r.a 4e#.re
The total average cost of Insurance upon all the
property insured since the commencement has been

experience of any other Stock or Mutual Insurance
Company in the United States. Another gratifying
feature In the business of the past year to be found
in the fact, that very large proportion of the new
risks taken have been upon property in the country
The contingent expenses of the Company exclu-
