The Phunix After the Fire.
We take the following from q card pub

ocrat by scvera! Of the sufferers by the late
fire in that city. Instead of sustaining NOR
tai injury from the severe ordeal Of des-
tructive fire, the Phoenix only rises from the
ashes with now p.umagc:
We think it due the Phoenix Insurance
Company, Of Hartford, Connecticut, and to
Mr.. Chauncey II. Brush, their agent at this
place, to acknowledge through your columns
the very early and satisfactory adjustment
aud prompt payment of our claims upon
said Company, arising in consequence Of
loss by the late fire upon our property insur-
ed by them. about ten thousand dollars.
We wish also to give the Phoenix credit Of
being the company whose agents were first
at this place after the fire, to adjust and
pay losses. We also desire to return our
warmest thanks to Mr.. W. W. Holden of
JanHsvile, State agent, who was on the
ground on the same dag Of the fire, and Mr..
uol!lngshcad, adjusting agent from Cincin-
natl, who was here the second daY after the
re, TO r their assistance, kindly and freely
rendered US, in making proofs of our claims,
and the very gentlemanly treatment we re-
ceiycd at their hands. The affairs of the
Phoenix in the Western States are so admir-
ably and skillfuly managed by NJ. MaglIl,
Esq, at Cincinnati, that their business is as
promptly attended to at this place as though
the Home of the office were located here.
