The Charter OF this Company offers more tavora-
BILE advantages to the farmer AMI others, than any
Company chartered in the State, by insuring
with or without premium note. If the applicant
prefer, he cah pay the full amount of the premium
in cash, or by etiecting II cash insurance for two
years the insured saves ono-eighth Of the amount
he would otherwise have to pay; or by becoming
member, and giving small premium note, the in
surel saves nearly one-half 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.
This Company commenced issuing Policies
against loss or damage by fire. on the 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 the past year, we feel
grateful! for the liberia! patronage bestowed upon
the Company thus far, and for its Hatterns pros

system Of economy, they will establish for this
Company Il reputation for cheapncsS and safety

One of the Augusta (Georgia) editors, man
of peculiar hysical capacities, and of indo-
mitable energy and perseverance, has learned
himself to whistle and sing "Dixie" at one
and the same time, with the same mouth
lie was practising this neat accomplishment
the other day, when it 80 acted upon the feel
ings of dog which was in an adjoining a.
partment that the wretched animal ran how
ling from the room and threw itself from
second story window. So we learn from
report of the occurrence published by an en-
yious contemporary of the artistic editor.

MISCELLANEOUS READING.

A PARLoR INsATE.-Miss Fuller, in late
letter from Europe, mentions having become
acquainted with DR.. Southwood Smith, the
we'll known philanthopist:
"On visiting him, says the lady, Eve saw
an object which had often heard celebra,rd,
and had thought would be revolving, hu:
found, on the contrary, quite an agreeable
sight; this is the skeleton Of Jeremy Ben'ham
1t was at Bentham's request that thu. sk'ic
ton, dressed in the same dress thar he habltu-
ally wore, stuffed out to an exact resent blaLce
of life, and with a partrait mask in wax, sits
there as assistant to DR.. Smith, in the enter
tainment of his guests and companion of his
studies. The figure leans a little forward,
resting the hand on stout stick which Ben
than always carried, and had named Dap
ple.' The attitude is quit easy; the express
sion of the whole mild, winning, yet highly
intellectual individual.
at is well-known than Benthan, in order
to oppose, in the most convincing manner.
the prejudice against dissection of the human
subject, willed his body to surgeons. in q
codicil, subsequently written. made 6pal
bequest of his skeleton to his friend, DR..
Smith,"
