The Charter of this Company offers more tavora-
bic advantages to the farmer and others, than any
Company chartered in the State, by insuring
with or without premium note. Ii the applicant
prefer he can pay the full amount OF the premium
in cash, or by cilccting a cash insurance LOT tWo
years the insured saves one-eightl of the amount
he would otherwise have to pay; or Us becoming
member and giving small premium note, the IN
surcd saves nearly onc-haf Of the amount charged
by Stock Companies, when insuring from year to
year. This is the advantage resulting from the
combination Of the
CASH AND MUTUAL PRINCIPLE.

against loss damage by tire, on the l3th day OF
March, 1854, since which time over seven thousand

sand dollars have been paid for losses. Having
increased business during the past year, we leel
grateful! for the liberal patronage bestowed upon
the Company thus far, and for lis fattering pros
pects of future usefulness. The Directors hope
