CUMBERLAND REGISTRY OF DEEDs-This
important Office with all the records and deeds
on file, which have been carefully preserved, is
now in operation at the inner room of the
Clerk of the Courts Office. A temporary root
of wood above the brick and iron flooring o.
the Supreme Court room, over the old office,
is to be put on Immediately, and the records
will then be returned to that place. A few
weeks only will suffice for this work to be
done, thus making the old Office perfectly safe
and very convenient tor the repository of the
valuable records of the deeds of the county.
The Star suggests the necessity of the pur-
chase and removal of the wooden building
next west of the county wing. ~

LETTER FROM THE GENERAL AGENT OF THE
CHATTER OAK COMPANY.
UNITED STATES HOTEL, July "a, 1866.
To THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS.
Without any disposition to rush into print
to the annoyance of the people of your al
most desolated city, I frankly ask space in
your paper to state a few facts, not in reply to
but as explanatory of the statements of F. O.
j. Smith, Esq, in his communication publish
ed this morning, headed "The Insurance Com
panies." ~ q ai H. e-,l FRI & 4.t
Mr.. Smith holds but one policy in the Char
ter Oak Insurance Company of Hartford, un-
der which he claims for loss, and there is no
other Company interested in the same loss,
which is of personal property. The paper in
which the claim is stated bears date the six
teenth inst. 1t was first presented to me by
the gentlemanly clerk of this house, with an
order written upon it to pay the money to
some other person than Mr.. Smith, and whose
orders were, as he has said, not to deliver the
paper unless paid the money. The reply
was that he must keep the paper, as no money
could properly be paid without an examina-
ton of the claim, and that was entitled to
hold the paper sixty days before he could ask
for the money. The clerk retained the paper.
The policy was not presented with it. On the
twenty-first day of July, at 3.l5 P. M, two
days AFTER the date of his letter to yourself, a
paper containing partial statement of his
loss by fire was brought to my room by one of
the boys of the house, but it contains no
schedule of the property lost, and only the
general assertion that it was of the value Of
eight thousand dollars. During my stay here
OF over week, Mr.. Smith has not honored
me with call, or single word in relation to
his claims Of this, or of his writing, do not
complain, nor of the course he proposes to
pursue ae 20 tos. a
1t will be left to the many of your citizens
to say, whether in their intercourse with me
in relation to their claims for loss under poll
cies made by the Company under which act,
they have been treated with attention and
courtesy, or with such neglect and rudeness as
Mr.. Smith intimates he has received. 1t has
inquire into the merits of every claim pre-
sented, and if a word has been said or act
done that has wounded the most sensitive, I
am sorry for it, and am ready for reproof and
correction. w. CHAPMAN,
