The Charter of this Company offers more fayOra-
BILE advantages TO the farmer and others, than any
other Company chartered in the State, by ;nsurng

prefer. he can pay the full amount of the premium
in cash. or by effecting cash insurance for two

sured saves nearly One-h half OF the amount charged
by Stock Companies, when insuring from year II
year This is the advantage resulting from the
combination of THE CASH AND MUTUAL
PRINCIPLE.
This Company commenced issuing Police,
against loss damage by fire, on the 10th Of
March, 1854, since which time over five thousand
seven hundred persons have insured and become

sand dollars have been paid for losses. Having
trebed our business during the past year, we feel
grateful for the liberal patronage bestowed upon
the Company thus far. and for its fatcring pros
poets of future usefulness. The Directors hope
and believe that, by prudence, caution. and rigid
system of economy, they will establish for this
Company a reputation for cheapness and safety
not surpassed by any Company in the L. States.

determined by three dSntcrested arbitrator of the
County where such loss happened, 10 be mutually
chosen by the insured and the Company.

The new Council, it viii be seen, inaugu.
rated their administration by fixing upon the
relative price which large and small balls shall
pay into our city Treasury for the privilege
of being rolled. The council is fortunate in
having for one Of its members, dealer in
balls, so that it is to be presumed that the
subject had an unusual amount of light cast
upon it, and that the distinguished member
from the LIST ward, in getting his large balls
discriminate over small ones to the pretty
extent of sixty-six and two-third cents and
upwards, gave knock down reasons for it. at
least the honorable member had the adj an
tage of vote in its favor, fortunate cir
cumstance, as it could not have been carried
without it.
