A Foul SANDER.

We find the following item in the Union
Democrat, published at Manchester, n. II j:
:" A subscriber writing from Sioux City
says The steady drink of the Sioux
City people is whiskey, and they take to
it very kindly. They announce tina, there
is no danger to be apprehended from the
fever and ague, if strangers let water
alone. l ta1e it the natives don't intend
to catch any such dstemper.
Now, we beg leave to inform the Demo.
erdt that ii it received the above item from
subscriber in this city, ke-tbe subscri-
ber-is most unmitigated -. The
facts are, there is less liquor drank in
Sioux City than in any other town of its
size in the west; there is but one place
where liquor is sold as beverage, and i,
IS a rare occurrence indeed that drunk
en- man is seen in our streets. l, is very
true that there is no danger to he appre-
hended from the fever and ague, such .
disease is almost entirely unknown in
Sio TX City. The few cases that have oc.
Cured here since the FIRST settlemeu. of
the place, were persons who brought the
seeds Of the disease in their systems from
some other locality.

City Fire insurance Company.

We have examined the statement Of
this Company. And are confident that il
contains sufficient evidence to satisfy all
that the Company is in good, sound con-
dition, and should give increased conf
dence to the public in this already popular
and reliable institution. The Hartford
Corant, published in the City where Dc
Company is located, says Of it:
1--WE call attention to the January ex-
hibit of the "City Fire Insurance Com
'pany,' in our advertising columns, and
are pleased to notice satisfactory evidence
Of its improved condition and increasing
prosperity. Its business, since the inau>
guration Of its present officers. and increase
Of capital in July last. has increased in .
ratio far exceeding the most sanguine ex-
pectstions Of its managers, and fully con.
frlns our predictions Of its success, made
at that time.
1--WE understand the present policy of
the Company is to divide only moderate
dividends, retaining . portion Of its earn
ings until an ample re insurance fund
shall be added to the capital, and we can
confidently recommend its policies to per.
sons seeking insurance, knowing the Com.
pany to be smoag the most reliable and
prosperous institutions Of our city,"
Ifany Of our readers have not yet had
their property insured, we would advise
them to call on JOHN II. CHARLES, ESQ.,,
who is agent for the above Company for
Woodbury. county, and he will take much
pleasure in relieving them Of all d.nger
Of loss by fire.

Disease" We were unavoidably detained
from being present, but were fortunate
