oTerestimated, and hence all New York eompa-
MES should be sought in preference to those of
other States.
The Niagara and Phenix companies, to which
we refer, and whose advertisement will be
found in another column, we have long known
from the most reliable sources, to be of the
first class. We know of mercantile firms in
this State, (partners Of whom live in New York
city. and hence well know these companies, }
which insure in them in preference to any 9TH
er. Without making long article by saying
much that is true, pertinent to the same point,
we quote the following from the New York In
dependent Of March last
s'PHENIx FIRE INSURANCE Co. OF BROOKLYN
This prosperous Company has again declared
semi-annual dividend of ten per cent, payable
on demand.
This dividend is the eleventh since the or
ganization of the Company in September, 1853,
making a total of 106 per cent. in dividends
upon its capital of $500, 900.
The assets of the company are now $780,
483 80, with only $1O,94 OIL of liabilities :;
which is surplus Of near so per cent The
stock commands 40 in the morket, with little
Offering.
Both the President-Stephen Cromwell, ESQ
and the Observation-Disclosures Shaw, Esq,
have been in office from the commencement,
six years and a half ago, and have managed
the Company with an unsurpassed degree of
success.
A year ago, the Directors entered into the
inland navigation business, and their expert
ence justifes them in their determination to
prosecute this branch of underwriting with in
creased vigor for which purpose they have
appointed D. P. Dobbins, Esq, Secretary of
the Board of Lake Underwriters, their Agent
at Buffalo for taking Lake risks.
They have also recently established Gener-
al Western Branch Office at Cincinnati, under
the management of George C. Davies, an insu-
rance agent Of considerable experience, as well
as Northwestern Branch Office at GAINESVILLE,
Wis, under the management Of F. Whitaker as
their Agent.
The Directors are thus showing an energy
suited to the times, and which united with dis
erection insures success. The Board of Direc-
tors is composed Of frst-class ana responsible
citizens"
In a European Price Current of Exchange,
for last month, we see that the Stock of the
Niagara is quoted at 40 per cent, and of the
Phenix at rs. H. Mulberger, Esq, is the gen
tlemanly and accomplished agent for this city,
and it will be for the interest of our citizens to
take Policies in these companies.

Insurance. Since the failure Of the Qua
ker City Insurance Company few days since
it is not surprising that much greater inter
est is felt the subject than at almost any pre-
vious time. Hence We feel a pleasure in sug-
costing to cur readers the names Of two COM
panies. Of which they need feel no misgivings.
We may premise that, with 4 becoming solicit
tude for the interest of the people. the State of
New York has constituted an Insurance De-
partment of the Government. whose duty it is
to examine into the condition of every compa-
ny in the State and report them annually, and
also to wind up or suspend companies whom it
may decide to be unworthy Of confidence

The Late Stom.-The memory of the
oldest inhabitant runneth not back to the time
when Wisconsin was so completely showed IN
der as by the storm of last week. We were
without any trains from Chicago or Milwaukee
for forty-eight hours, it being impossible for
them to make any Roadway at all, until they
were shoveled out of the snow banks which in
many instances were considerably higher than
the top Of the cars. Large gangs Of men were
employed all along the line Of the different
roads for two days in clearing away the snow,
Taking it altogether it reminded one of the east
where embargoes Of that kind on travel are OF
frequent occurrence and looked for every win.
ter as regularly as is the feecy element itself
that occasions the difficulty The storm was
general all over the State, as we learn from our
exchanges, and the depth of snow was even
greater in some places than it was here.
"a We looked in upon the new Coun-
ty Officers at jefferson day or two ago, for
the first time since their Inauguration We
found them all in their respective Offices, busily
engaged in the discharge Of their duties, except
Register Strive who IS at present confined to
his house by sickness. Everything is going
along there with the precision of clock work,
and in each Of the offices there has been a COM
plete reformation in the manner of doing bust
ness. The Republican party was fortunate in
the selection Of such men for standard-bearers
as they brought forward last fail, and the peo-
pie were equally 50 in being able to elect them.
We have he@rl the opinion frequently expressed
that the affairs Of the county were never more
creditably administered than they will be IN
der the regime that went into power the 1st Of
January. This is the prevailing idea with PEG
pie familiar with the manner in which business
has been done in Jefferson heretofore, and the
way in which it is transacted now We have
every reason to believe that their Judgment in
the matter is correct.

An Inlprore7aenL- hear that the
Common Council, at its last meeting, took meas
ures to have the Plank Road Bridge, near the
Rough and Ready Mill, repaired and put in CT
der, so that the same can be used. Considera-
bic inconvenience has been experienced by peo-
pie living on the east side of Rock River, who
have had occasion to come to town and to do so
been obliged to travel the circuitous route rem
dered necessary by the destruction of the
bridge to which we have alluded. As we IN
derstand it, it viii require an outlay of at least
one thousand dollars to place the same in good
condition; one half Of which, property holders
living near the bridge, more particularly, and
others interested in the matter, have pledged
themselves to raise, while the remainder Of the
sum, five hundred dollars, the city is to pay on
the completion of the job. We consider this a
good investment on the part Of the city, for
there is no doubt that It has lost more or less
trade from Izonia, Concord, Oconomowoc, and
other places in that direction, in consequence
Of the impossible state of the roads at some
seasons Of the year, on the route at present
travelled.

4 Bone Of ConteRti0n.-f there has
been any one question more than another tn t
has given rise 10 fierce discussion in the Com
mon Council, it is that as to what disposition
should be made Of the bills in favor of the Gas
Company for the gas burned in our street lamps.
Some of the Aldermen take the ground that
each ward should pay out Of its own fund for
the gas consumed in its limits, and that the
same should not be made q charge upon the
city general fund. We believe this is the way
the matter stands now, and that the 1st, Cd. Sd
and 4th Wards being the only ones in which
there are any lamps, now pay for the lighting
Of the streets. We consider this unfair and
unequal, We do not know why the 5th 9th
and It'll Wards should be absolyed from their
part of this expense, though there are no lamps
located within their limits, any more than they
should be for any other outlay for the benefit Of
the city at large, Why could they not, with
the same propriety, have been relieved from the
payment Of their just proportion Of the cost Of
building the Main street bridge? Or why not
exonerated from their share of the expense Of
repairing the Plank Road bridge near the Rough
and Ready Mil! IF the principle upon which
the gas bills are disposed Of, be correct, why
should any but the 9Th Ward have been taxed
for building the Labaree Bridge at an expense
of couple of thousand Of dollars or so? The
fact IS, the lighting our street lamps is either
public benefit or public nuisance. If the
former, the public at large should foot the bills
and no single ward should be made to pay them
or any more than its equal proportion-while if
the latter horn of the dilemma is taken and it
is claimed that the gas is a nuisance, it clearly
is not right for any of the wards to undertake
to shirk it eff on the shoulders of the others
1t ought to be shared alike by all. We regard
it as an improvement which the city should
sustain, as whole, and can not see any pro-
priety or sense in making four wards maintain
it for the benefit of the seven We furthermore
believe that tax levied in accordance with that
principle is Illegal, and that the same if con-
tested would not stand the test Of law. There
certainly is no equality in such taxation.
