her eloquence on the occasion of an enter.
tainment given by the Earl and Countess OF
Fife, to celebrate the eleventh birthday of
their eldest son, the Viscount Macduf. Dur
ing the evening there was ball, and at the
supper the health of the Earl of Fife and
Vscount Macdutf were severaIly given and
honored, after which the health of the Coun.

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 a premium note. II tho applicant
prefer, he can pay the full amount OF the premium
in cash, or by etfecting Il cash insurance for two
years, the insured saves one-eigh;a Of the amount
he would otherwise havo to pay; or ~ becoming
member, aud giving small premium note, the IN
suraG saves nearly one half Of the amount charged
By Stock Companies, when irsuring from year 20
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, Oh the 18th day OF
March, 1854, since which time seven thousand
seven hundred persons have insured and become
membcrs of the Company, ind over seventy thou
sand dollars have bccu paid for losses. Having
increased our business during the past year, we feel
grateful for the liberia. patronage bestowed upon
the Company thus far, and ior lis latterins pros
poets Of future usefulness. The Directors hope
and believe, that by prudence caution, and ariSid
system Of economy, they will establish for this
Company reputation for c!capncss ANA safety
not surpassed by any Company i'll the u. States.
All differences in settlement of losses, MAJ be
determined by three diSnrcrested arbtrasors OF The
County where such loss happened, to be mutually
chosen By the insured and the Company.
