out of them and increases their durability

For the Gazette


Mr.. EDIroR:-It has been said that as
people, We Of the West, love to be, humbug-
ged. This to a certain. extent is true. We
can submit with good grace to large quar-
tity CT political humbug; a reasonable amount
of ecclesiastical humbug; an allopathic dose
Of medical or legal humbug, and to be hum
plugged in many other manners, provided it is
done smoothly and softly,-is twell gilded
and not hard to take. But there are matters
in which we should not willingly submit to
the manipulatons Of the Peter Funks who
iniest our land imposing upon the inexperi-
enced and unsophisticatod. lam led to make
these remarks by the almost continual pres
ence among us of psIambulating insurance
agents soliciting business for some mutual
shiaryassie Company, with fabulous amount
of capital, and who do business on very
cheap scale, asking little or no money, and
Just for the fan Of the thing" taking notes.
1t may be, Mr.. Editor, that some Of these
companies are sound and responsible, but it
is well known to those who have taken any
pains TO investigate, that many Of these are
no more reliable than rope of sand. In
this country we are generally in limited cir.
cumstances, and the object of insuring the
houses we live in is to enable us in case of
destruction to procure another. Now if these
travelling solicitors indnce us to pay our mon
ey, and to rely upon company without
character, capital or responsibility, and which
in case of loss is unable to make good their
undertakings, how much better are they than
the highwayman, the pickpocket or thief?
Editors are supposed to know all things, and
to be able to answer any and all enquiries
made of them. therefore take the liberty
of asking you to inform your readers whether
or not the companies represented by these
| fellows, who are determined to insure the
| town whether the owners will or not ar;
worthy of the confidence and patronage o
our citizens.

NO MATTER WHO

1t is an easy thing in these times to fEd
matter Of Importance and interest with which
to fill a paper, without rcsortng to the doings
of the County Board. Congress and State
Legislatures always publish their enactments
and pay for having it done, and so should
our County Legislatures. The publishers of
this County, at least, are willing to do their
share, but they are not disposed to have the
whole thing "spongcd" out Of them alone
The Board is merely the representative Of the
County, and it is its duty to report its legis-
lation to its constituents. There is no neces-
city for publishing every motion, remark, or
debate, but simply such enactments as affect
the people, and are of interest to them, -and
the cost Of this would be but triaing. We
do not know Of Board in this part of the
State but that publishes its more important
legislation, and as matter of right and just
ice our own Board should do the same.
