The Charter of this Company offers more favora-
bic advantages to the farmer and others, than any
Company chartered III the State, by lnsurlng
with or without premium note. If the applicant
prefer he can pay the full amount Of the premium
in cash, or By etlccting u cash insurance for two
years. tho insured saves one eighth Of the amount
nc would otherwise have to pay; or by Incoming
member and giving d small premium note, the IN
sured saves nearly one-half Of the amount charged
by Stock Companies, when insuring from year to
year. This is the advantage resulting from tbe
combination of the
CASH AND MUTUAL PRINCIPLE.
This Company commenced issuing Policies
against loss or damage by fire, on tho 18TH day OF
March, 1854, 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 tho past year. we 1eel
grateful for the liberia! patronage bestowed upon
tho 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 for this
Company reputation for chcapness and safety
not surpassed by any Company in the i. States.

pentine presented an extraordinary scene
on Tuesday night, and it is estimated that
there were upwards of 100000 persons in
Hyde Park. It was anticipated that large
number of the volunteer Rifles would have vis-
tied the Serpentine, but it is understood that
some communication was made to the head
quarters of the several corps by the au,hor-
ties, requesting that such demonstration
should nottake place. and, in consequence,
the numbers were greatly limited. The drive
along the Serpentine was for two hours com
pletely blocked with carriages of the nobility
and gentry, and along the banks masses of
persons were congregated. From the bridge
down to the extreme end Of the river was one
continuous blaze, there being upwards of
$4,000 skaters and sliders, nearly all of
whom carried lighted torches and performed
their eyolutions by their light. The centre,
as we'll as near the banks of the river, was
lined by several hundred tents, consisting
of skating booth, refreshment payiions, &c.
Several displays of fireworks took place upon
the ice, and blue, green and red fires were
ignited, which produced an extraordinary ef-
feet Shortly after nine o'clock, large
number of tents were lighted mp with yariega-
ted oil lamps and festoons of Chinese lam
terms, and further displays of fireworks took
place. The festivities were carried On with
the utmost vigor for several hours, but at
ten o'clock large number of persons retired.
Several thousands, however. remained upon
the ice until much later period. Ayoung
man and young woman fell through the ice
and when rescued were in state of great
exhaustion. The other parks were very
much crowded, and there were few ac-
cidents, but nothing of serious nature
occoured.

By the use of these Pills the periodic at
tacks of Nervous or Sick Headache may be
prevented; and if taken at the commencement
of an attack immediate relief from pain and
sickness will be obtained
They seldom fail in removing the Nausea
and Headache to which females are so SUBJ
ject.
They act gently upon the bowels,-remou-
ing Costiveness.
For Literary Men, Students, Delicate Fe-
males, and all persons of sedentary habits,
they are valuable as Laxative, improving the
appetite, giving tone and uigor to the digestive
organs, and restoring the natural elasticity
and strength of the whole sytem.
The CEPHALIC PILLS are the result of long
Investigating and carefully conducted expert
ments, having been in use many years, during
which time they have prevented and relieved
a vast amount of pain and suffering from
Headache. whether originating in the nervous
system or from deranged state of the
stomach.
They are entirely vegetable in their COM
position, and may be taken at all times with
perfect safety without making any change OF
diet. and the absence of any disagreeable taste
renders it easy to administer them to childen.

whatlt the Democrats Should Do.

h H-H| 'HH
Besides maintaining the true
cause lofthe Union, and Of human
ity, in this crisis of their leountrys
fate, it is of the first importance
that the Democracy should stand
by each other. They should or
ganize ineeyery town in sthesState,
anu pledge each other to stand by
the rights of all. The Republican
press have endeavored toincite the
mob to acts Of violence against the
property and persons of their Dem
-%ocratic fellow-citizens. This fact
renders it important that the De-
mocracy should prepare for self
Defense In,our judgment it will
become imperatively necessary.
This war will not be soon ended;
and during its progress, the worst
passions of thehuman heart, North
and South, will be let loose, and
lashed into fury. In view Of such
a probable result the Democracy Of
the North should be prepared fol
mutual defense and protection
concord Standard. IS 10. hi
Such organizations haveIalready
been effected, we believe, in, Can.
ton, Lancaster, and other places il
this State. Let the "freedom O
the press" as a constitutional right
be maintained at every hazard. Il
this privilege be once yielded, oul
