BE NOT DECEIVED
TRUTH is MIGHTY!!.


If seekers after truth are disposed to examine into
facts and figures, they can easily satisfy themselves
that the f sHa
Mutual Benefit Life ms Co., Of New Jersey,
Is not THE Safest J Is not THE Cheapest!
1st-Because its net Assets lido mott exceed those
of any other Life Ins. Co. in the United States"
2d-"Because it is (not) paying back to its mem
bers larger Dividends, and more of them, than any
other Co. in the United States as is alleged by its
Agent.
AZ Companions scM eoadrm these fucts.p
tm the 31st December, 1863. as appears by the Com
missioners Report, the Great sIU4JAL LIFE ms.
co. OF NEW YORK, had ASSETS (aR CASH
s12,445,e84 90
The Benefit Co. had (gross assets) 7,134,79O 90
$5,042,O37 90 only being Cash Assets; the balance
being in Premium Notes. with an outstanding liabil-
ly on Policies in force of $55,O37 aS4 co. nearly
large as that Of the MUTUAL LIFE Co.
The expenses of the Benefit Co In 1864 were.
s271, 1867 90
while its Cash receipts were only ds Sl,715S75 90
The Cash Receipts of the Mutual life Co. being
s2,s2e,s01 90
and its expenses only $256, ,1O5 90
Any Life Co. which does not incease its assets in
the same ratio it Liability, cannot be considered
the safest. ia
The Benefit Co. is not the Cheapest for the reason
that its Rates higher, and the Diridends much
less.
For instance at the age of 49, for $1,000 on the 10
year plan, with the Benefit Co. it will cost s57 81
while with the Mutual Life Co. only s51 81
being Sc 90 less, with the difference of Rate as
to other ages.
THE Dividends Of the MUTUAL LIFE co. have
been more than Seventy per cent. on the Premiums
,oofI xrbs1 k1,oca oc ID ~
more than 50 Ter cent The Policies Of the Mutual
always have a Cash value ON surrender While
those Of the Benefit Co. do not increase, and have no
such value unless the premiums are paid up in cash.
Which is Cheapest? judge ye.
We regretthe necessity for thus showing the talsity
of the statements put forth by neghbors but if
they still persist in thus deceiving the public we
furnish other facts ofthe s'same sort"
There are MANY REASONS for insnrng with s
s a.a THE GREAT
Mutual Life Insurance Company
OF New York,
Its Cash assets being $13, 500, 900
Its surplus Dividends to Policy Holders the last yrs
S 8 20 o o. o o o.
Dividends are now declared Annaolty and may be
applied in payment Of Premiums, to augment the
insurance as heretofore. rs 4l
To those who prefer the Ten Yearly payments
other Company presents such advantages; as this
gives more than compound interest for the money
paid. "
The Policies are bIe in the true
sense of the term and can always be disposed of to
the Company for their equitable value i'm Cash.
Many Policies taken out at this Agency have in
creased more than Fifty per cent. Of the sum
originally insured, numbers Of our best citizens
| can testify.

a WORD TO SMoRERs.-As fires, when
they occur in winter, owing to high
winds and other causes, are often very
disastrous, we should take especial
pains to guard against them. The
means by which CONGREGATIONS are
ltindled are manifold, yet we propose
briefly TO notice but two-the cigar and
pipe Both of these are INDUCED mex
tensively, and both are prominent
sources of modern confagratiOn'
Smoking, while it allayas excitementand
promotes ease, teaches an individual to
become careless to criminal degree.
The halE-consumed cigar or shoulder
ing pipe Is cast aside without a mo-
ment's reelection upon the probable
consequences of such an net Tobacco
contains inter, and, like "tOuch weed"
it may continue ignited for hours. Too
many of onr fires are traced to this
cause, and if people Will smoke, IT is
time that they were learning to be a
little cautious and prudent. If a cigar,
when carslessly thrown away, falls into
bundle of shavings, the first current
of air may fan the smouldering spark
into flame, and, if undiscovered, prove
most disastrous. In the same Way, a
cigar may be dropped by the wayside,
or thrown into a field, and by "a breeze
carried into a hay stack or strawpile,
and produce q fearful cOnfagration. A
smoker should never lay his pipe away
or cast the stump of his cigar down
without being certain that the last spark
has been extinguished.

Officials that this should be published,
fears being entertained that some of the
parties indicted might take advantage
OF the notice, and make themselves
scarce" The result of the publication

are pleased to learn that he found them

four O'Clock he was set to work to clean
out one OF the large stills in the
refinery, and in order to do so he en-
teredit in doing which he was. cautioned
not to use fire in the work. 1t seems
that as soon as he reached the bottom
of the still he Lit match, and instant
ly an explosion Of the gas accumulated
therein took place, causing loud noise.
As soon as the accident occurred Wilson
was taken out, and found 10 be most
terribly mangled-his nails torn off,
his hair burnt TO a crisp, and his skin
in many places peeled of in great
pieces. DIR. HuPp was called in, and
all that skill could do was supplied TO
relieve the victims sufferings, which
were said to be intense. Not much
hope is entertained of Mr.. Wilson's re-
covery- He has a wife and u num-
Der OF children, who are dependent on
him for support. He was hard work
ing man, and the accident TO him is
deeply to be regretted.
