The Charter of this Company offers more tuvora-
bic advantages 10 the farmer and others, than any
COMPANY chartered i'll the Stale, by lnsuring
with or without premium note. II the applicant
prefer, he pay the full amount OF the premium
in cash or by etecting Il cash insurance for tw,
wears the insured saves onc-cightl Of the amount
he would otherwise have To pay; or ny becoming a
member, and giving small premium note, the in
st;red saves nearly half OF the amount charged
bv Stoc; Companies, when insurng from year to
wear This is the advantage resulting from the
combination of the -
CASH AND MUTUAL PRINCIPLE.
This Company commenced issuing Policies
against loss or damage BY fire, on the 18th day OF
March, 1851 since which time over seven thousand
seven hundred persons have insured and become
members of the Company, and over seventy thou
sand dollars have been paid for losses. Having
increased business during the past year, We feel
grateful! for the liberia! patronage bestowed upon
the Company thus far and for its hattering pros
poets of future usefulness. The Directors hope
and believe, that by prudence, caution and rigid
system Of economy, they will establish Tor this
Company = reputation for chcapness ana safety
not surpassed by auy Company i'll the l. States
All ditcronccs in settlement u losses, may be
determined by three diSntereSted arbtrators OF the
County where such loss happened, to be mutually
chosen by the insured and the Company.

AN INGENIOUS CAT.-Cats in general are
said to die hard, but De 10 Croix tells of one
that escaped a wretched death by outwitting
Il philosophical professor:
Il once saw" he relates, ga lecturer upon
experimental philosophy place cat under
the glass receiver of an air pump for the pur
pose of demonstrating that life cannot to
supported without air and respiration. The
lecturer had already made several strokes
with the piston in order to exhaust the re-
ceiver of air, when the cat, who began to
feel herself very uncomfortable in the rare
fed atmosphere, was fortunate enough to
discover the source from whence her uneasi-
ness proceeded. She placed her paw upon
the hole through which the air escaped, and
thus prevented any more from passing out
of the receiver. All the exertions of the phil
osopher were now unavailing; in vain he
drew the piston; the cats paw efectually
prevented its operation. Hoping to effect
his purpose he again let air into the receiver,
which as soon rs the cat perceived, she with
drew her paw from the aperture; but when
ever he attempted to exhaust the receiver
she applied her paw as before. The specta-
tors capped their hands in admiration of the
cats sagacity, and the lecturer was compell-
Ell to remove her, and substitute another cat,
that possessed less penetration, for the cruel
and inexcusable experiment"
