The following notice from the New York
Insurance NonitOr, for July last speaks for
i.self:
THE MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY OF
WIsCoNsIN.-Ihe Trustees of this prosperous
Company have issued to pOlicyholders their
customary annual report. 1t is dated at Mil
waukee the 10th of June and is in ali respects
satisfactory and cheering document The
business of the Company has increased within
the year, and would have been still more large.
ly augmented but for the depressing influence
OF the consumption OF last summer, in Wi>cOn-
sin. 1t appears, however, that the Company
has extended is field OF operations having
thoroughly canvasscd its own State, and estab.
lished agents in Iowa, Minnesota and Massa-
chusetts. As q preliminary to entering upon
the last named State. it submitted its affairs
to the inspection of Mr. Elizur Wright who
issued, subsequently. the Commissioners Ger
tiicate. This fact furnishes strong testimo-
NAL to the worth OF the Company, since Mr..
Wright Is at once very able and very severe
Judge of the condition of insurance corpora
tons. Within the past year the COmpany's
losses, though considerable have not equaied
itnp tod ofnE of
upon which the premiums are based us
assets, on the other hand, have been increased
53 per cent by an addition Of @54 996 80, and
q considerable increase is recorded in the per
cent. OF assets to computed liabilities. The
total assets OF the Company now amount to
$l62. 2oI 8 Within the past year the sum of
SOB 5o3 4S has been received in premiums and
interest," from which the sum of SIS, 5S7 10 is
to be deducted for disbursements, and TO which
the sum of So, 566 II is to be added for accrued
interest and deferred premiums. Thus we get
the above amount OF total assets, which, ~
appears by this report, is safely ana prOitably
invested. We are glad to record such pros
perlty. This corporation was started without
capital-which say the trustees in Life Insur-
ance companies, is only continual expense
to policy hOdera"-yet It's accommodations now
reach the sum of Sl62, Z57 81, and it has now
in force 2, 285 policies, insuring So O76, $50.
M9y it continue TO flourish. growing with the
of the great Western States.
MILITARY ACTIVITY AT HARRIsBURG.-
The Harrisburg Union OF Saturday says:
"Afilitary operations at this point were
unusually active yesterday. The move
ment of troops, artillery and munitions of
war was brisker than at any time since the
June invasion. The names and destina-
ton OF the companies and regiments now
concentrating here and sent forward, if
not contraband, should probably be with
held for the present 1t looks as if we
were on the eve of important events :"
The Richmond Enquirer of the 18th,
says: "a large and enthusiastic meeting
of mechanics was held in Richmond on
the night Of the 10th inst. 4 series of
resolutions we're adopted, one of which,
the sixth, is below:
Res0lDed, That, awakened to 4 sense OF the
abject posture to which laborers-we who
labor-have been reduced, and to the privile-
geS which, as citizens and people, the lnStltu-
tons of our country vest in us, we will not
sleep again until our grasp has firmly clenched
the rights and immunites which are ours as
Americans and men, until our first demands
have been met by concessions of all opposing
elements.
The Enquirer notices the meeting edi-
torially, and thinks the resolution given
above, an empty hif,lutin, and unbecom-
ing threat of mob violence.
