Dear Sir,
WE were so delightfully."- entertained at
the Concert, which took place, last eve
ming, at the Danish School House, SIN aid
ofthe building OF st. Johns Church," that
we cannot refrain, thus publicly, to thank
those who so kindly ministered to our
enjoyments, in this respect. In doing SO,
we have also to take notice of the nice
arrangements OF the locality, which was
tastefuIly decorated for the occasion ;
with the object, we suppose, OF first
gratifying our organs of sight, and there
by causing an anticipation of the plea
sure we were subsequently to realize,
through our musical organs Of hearing.
When we take into consideration that
the majority of the performers were la
dies, most of whom had perhaps never
before appeared in the presence of an
audience, least so large an audience the
manner in which each one acquitted
herself Of her part, merits o public ac-
acknowledgement, and, although we do not
wish, nor have any reason, to appear par
tial, particular notice should nevertheless
be taken of the respective performances
of Mrs. Lemming, Mrs. Krebs, Miss
Ruan, Mrs. Dubois, Miss Behagen, Miss
Bott and Miss Carly, and we hope, ere
long, again to have the pleasure Of listen
ing to their sweet voices, and of hearing
their animating musical performances.
They had so applauding an audience, that
a frequency of appearing before them,
will ~ins;ill a confidence IN their execution;
the want Of which, last evening, in a cou-

creatures, should in most instances be ac-
corded the precedence-wt had nearly
lost sight of the MaSter-Spirt, by which
the whole matter was brought about, viz,
Mr.. Washington Roebuck, who, 10 our GER
tain knowledge, g~rataitousIy devoted his
time and talent, for the last month, to
prepare these amateur performers, for
the occasion, and, whose bearing on the
the evening of the performance, seemed
more of that nature to INSPIRE confidence
in the other performers, than to attract
any particular attention or merit to him
self. With respect to his own execution

being so sweet and melodious, that to list

conscious of the ability displayed in the
act, was to feel ourselves borne away by
q charm /; which took some time TO be
dispelled, even after it ceased 10 be direct
ly exercised.
We are told that Mr.. Roebuck intends,
shortly, to give q Concert for his Own be-
meft, and we trust he may be able TO Sc
cure the aid of some Of those ladies who
so kindly lent their assistance, at the last
evenings entertainment. We would how
ever, suggest TO him, that on the next
occasion, in his selection Of the pieces,
that "Le CarnauaL de Tenise," be one of
these to be performed by himself; many
having expressed a wishsto hear has exc

Royal Insurance Office, st. Croix Agen-

SURRENDER VALUE OF AFE POLICIES.
From
The Insurance Guide and Hand Book
Page 226.
"But this is not the only lesson the
agent may draw from the considerations
presented in this chapter. Next TO the
annoyance occasioned by the refusal of a
life, is that attending the surrender of a
policy. We will not suppose any agent
so unreasonable as to participate in a be-
lief often expressed by pollcy-holders. on
desiring to- surrender, that all premiums
paid upon that particular policy has been
so much gain to the Office. II that theo-
ry were applied to all the policies an any
particular Office, from what source would
the claims and expences be provided?
The absurdity Of the notion constitutes
it's best refutalion. Every premium re-
ceived indicates a corresponding, and, we
may add, a current liability in respect OF
some of the existing policies. When,
therefore, a policy-holder wishes TO sur
render, This circumstance has TO be taken
into account. The point we are now re-
ferring to, however, is that of the Sc
4 lection which in all such eases appears ia.
be exercised against the Office, and which,
if full reliance be placed upon the autho-
rites already quoted, is almost sufficient
10 deter Directors from offering any sur
render value at all. We are not advocat-
ting o course Of illiberality: for this.
would, generally speaking, be retaliated
upon the Office by loss of busincSs-in-
deed we shall presently cnumerate llber-
ality in this particular as one Of the inn
provements in the practice of Life Assur-
ance. We are simply pointing out the
fact, that inasmuch as theory indicates
that the best lives only surrender their
policies to the Office, this fact should ac-.
count for the apparent Indifference of Of
fees TO purchase their policies"
Page 233.
"Modern competition is now causing
the Offices TO do what they ought long
since to have done by right. In the event
now of a .policy-hoIder being unable to
continue his premiums, or being DESTROYS
Of disposing of his policy, he will most
likely find the Office in which he is as
sured, if it be q reputable one, prepared
at once to give him the fair surrender
value of his policy; although it must be
promised that, unless a person has paid,
at least three annual premiums the Office
aoiU hardly be IN a position to make muck
return upon any policy"
