INsUEANCE.--ASa matter of seltln-
torest, every owner Of buildings should
have them insured, and none are more
responsible, reliable and prompt in the
adjustment Of losses than the Madison
Mutual. Mr.. Salmon, an agent Of the
Company, will remain in town for a
few days to insure those who wish to
do so. The rates are very low. For
the following reasons we regard it rs
the safest company to patronizc
/. It is a Wisconsin Institution, Ioca-
ted at the Capital of the State, thus af-
torling every facility for members to
institute inquiry into its business oper-
atoms, and for the settlement of losses
through their representative in the
Legislature and the State officers.
2. 1t is Mutual Company, thus af-
fording cheaper rates and greater sccu-
rity than can be obtained in Stock com
panies.
3. It's capital stock consists Of pre-
mium notes of the parties insured, and
cannot be squandered by corrupt Off
GERS, or become the basis of specula-
ton to the managers; but can only be
called in to pay losses, and other abso-
lutely necessary expenses; while stock
companies receive the full amount of
premium in advance, and ottan invest
it in stocks which arc liable - become
worthless, causing genera ambarrass-
ment to the companies, ana rendering
unsafe the insured.
I. 1t confines its operations to the
State of Wisconsin; aud to the insur-
ance Of Farm Property, and strictly
isolated buildings, with their contents,
liz villages and cities.
5. It is one Of the oldest and most
successful companies organized in the
North West, having always paid its
losses promptly and without litigation.
WHAT A QUAKER LADY DID
While the Seventh Regiment was in
Philadelphia, fine old Quaker lady,
observing that one of the band was in
state Of great embarrassment for the
lack of string with which to secure
the mouth Of his bag of provisions, OBJ
served quietly, "Friend, | would not
give thee an implement of war, but
thee shall have string to preserve thy
food" Then she turned partly away
for an instant, and stopped down, to
tie up her shoe apparently, but when
she rose up she handed to the blushing
blower of brass a neat green band, that
moment before had been doing duty

10 The present condition Of the
crops is not behind that of last year at
this time. Although we have had u
cool and very late spring, still seeds
have not been retarded in terminating,
as the cool weather for the past few
weeks prevented many from depositing
the seeds in the soil for fear Of late
trosts and rotting in the ground. The
warm weather has arrived Just in time
to suit the husbandman, and We have
no doubt that our farmers will be agree
ably surprised with overhoWing grana-
ricS and an extra abundance Of thc
good things this soil can produce. We
have noticed several fields Of rye, oats,
and winter and spring wheat, already
knee high, thick and heavy, waving in
the sunlight as though proud Of the fl-
turc in store for it, when it will hang
its head laden with its golden wealth,
and flash like an unsheathed sabre.

1t should have been higher from the

be lofty, in order to present unity of

BODIES FoUND.-Two bodies were
found last Tuesday in the Wisconsin
river, about one naale below the mouth
of Moccssin Creek. An inquest was
iseld by Justice Desplns. The verdict
rendered was "accidental drowning.n
Upon the person of one was found a
pass book, in which was written John
Bile ssing; also black silk neck-tie,
knife, cyliEder-escapement watch, gold
breast-pin, and ten cents in specie
The body had on when found knit
Jacket, red flannel shirt, black pants,
and gray oyer-alls, and was apparently
twenty-six years old. Upon the per
son of the other was found port-mon-
ME containing 20 cents, and an old wal
let containing so cents. The bodies
are supposed to be two of those recent
" drowned at Point Bluff. Such was
the opinion Of Justice Despins.

Z A NEW FEATrRE on TIE WAR.--We are ersdibly
informed that an examination of the trunks etc.
of the. Indiana Regiment recently captured al

terfeit notes on the Bank of Camden s. c. to light
These were printed from genuine plates and are
2 Of the denomination of SIS los aid 2Gs Some are
signed, forged Of course,) and others are not e.
This revelation of vilainy developes a new feS.
ture of the war which there is much reason to be-
ieve was designed to be general Most, if not all
of our bank notes have heretofore been printed al
the North and the plates yet in their possession
FROM these plates numerous notes are TO be printed
and falsely signed and are to be circulated among
our people wherever the vgndala can get q foot
hold E'-
If this is not the height and depth of yiHainy, we
are at hes to conjecture what is and if it does
not fully develop the character of our foe to be
that of a degraded and vicious people, ready for
% the commission of the lowest and darkest deeds
of vice, we do not know what is necessary to do
