East Findlay Side walk.

EDS. JEFF.-Permit me through
the columns of your paper, to make
some inquiry in reference to the
East Findlay side walk. 1t is un-
derstood that there was diversity
of opinion which way the walk should
run after it reached its present ter.
minus. This is an indication that there
is yet more money to be expended;
if so, why not apply it to the purpose
for which it was intended? Some in
formation on the subject would no
doubt be acceptable to all parti les
interested. A SUBSCRIBER.

Home Mutual Life Insurance Com

Home Mutual Life Insurance Com.
pany.
The business of Life Insurance has
increased SO rapidly in this country
in the last five years, that scarcely
any one has an idea of its vast pro-
portion, nor will people believe the
the actual facts when stated. The
total receipts of all the Life Insur
ance Companies in this country in
the year 1866, were S4l, 5000 or
about l-5 of the entire revenues of
the Government, with all our heavy
taxes. Every city and town in the
country has its agent to collect the
annual dues Of the Life Insurance
Companies, .snofs.,r.,ls
or this vast sum of money, the
West contributes S27 100000 Ohio
alone pays two and half millions to
keep up life policies.
Now where all this money goes to
is not so often asked, nor little under
stood, and few will believe the state
ment |: yet it is true that the little
city of Hartford, Connecticut, get
a third of it, and Boston and New
York the rest. Cincinnati alone con.
tributes a million and over to enrich
these already rich Eastern corpora
tions. Why should not this money
be kept in the West ? Why should
not this million of dollars annually
sent to Hartford and other Eastern
cities from Cincinnati, for life insur-
ance, to be kept here !?
We are confident the money can be
as we'll and as safely invested here,
and it would make some difference
in the rate of interest. Money in
the East is worth six per cent and a
drug in the market-here fifteen and
not to be had.
Now we have in this city the Home
Mutual Life Insurance Company,
which we know has one hundred rich
men as stockholders; has a paid-up
capital Of 100000, and has aleady
in nine months issued one thousand
policies more than any Eastern COM
pany euer did in its fi0 year). Why
should not our business men rally
round Home company and help to
sustain it, and make it-what the
old company of Hartford is--a
source OF revenue to the city and the
pride of our citizens. The Company
Mutual has fund of fifteen millions;
the Mutual of New York. twenty
millions. The New England of Bos-
ton, ten millions-nearly all, as large
ly contributed from the west. Now
we claim and bespeak for the Home
Mutual Of Cincinnati, at least a share
of this patronage.
Mr.. Moore, the President of this
Company, has eight years experience
in the business and knows all about
it, and has the backing of one hun
dred rich men of Ohio, as stockhold-
ers, besides one thousand policy
holders to begin with, and we think
this is enough to gain the confidence
of our people saer1 .rats

twill be seen by an article in an

Cincinnati Enquirer, of the 18th ult-,
