The Thirty Second Annual Report of this In
stituton is issued, from which we learn that
the whole number of policies now in force is
22,l2S, insuring property to the amount of
S2O, 264, Asa, and the premium notes in force
are 81 ,539, 73O.O6.
Tho objections to insuring in this Company
which are usually raised are, that the farmers
have to pay for the losses upon the more hazard
ousproperty The fallacy Of such an objection is
shown by the figures. In the first place, the
farmers, or those who get dwelling houses.
barns, sheds, and contents insured, have, in the
last fourteen years, paid $3l, O02.96 less than
the loss upon this same kind Of property; while
those having more hazardous property insured
have, by a higher per cent. premium noto, not
only paid for their own losses, but assisted the
farmer to the amount of over $4,000 Still.
those having hazardous property to get insured
find no fault with the rates they have to pay, as
they are still considerably less than in Sound
Stuck Companies. This result shows that it is
better for the farmer to get insured in this Com
pany with the hazardous property than without
it. Further, the assessments for the past four
teen years have been on an average Of only
three and one-f fourth per cent.,-a result highly
satisfactory TO all insured while the resources
of the Company, it's lQpg1established reputation,
and the hold it has upon the confidence of the
people OF the State, render 1t the surest guaran-
tee against loss, and o safety against enormous
assessments.
WHO'S REPRESENTATIVE Our subscribers
who are in the arrears will find statement of
their account with the Representative in the
town to which their paper goes, and they are
requested to leave their subscriptions with
him, and he will soc that it is duly paid and
receipted. This is the best and safest means of
forwarding tho money, and as we are obliged
to have every cent due us this fall, there can be
no excuse for not paying the Printer. If
