Wliic.; is the Greatest Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company in the Worlds

The Insurance Monitor, New Y ork, says
The true standard by which to measure the
relative greatness Of nation is not the mag
nitude Of its military exploits and power, nor
even its proficiency and advancement in arts
and sciences, but its moral elevation and cx-
cellence, especially as manifested in practical
benevolence 70 the weak. helpless and depen-
dent As Mutual Life Insurance is, with
out exception, the most refined, unexception.
able, noble and eunubling form of charity
ever devised, its prosperity among any people
is faithful index to their substantial pro-
gress. Our attention was recently directed
by a casual circumstance to the relative pro-
portion of the Scottish Widows Fund and
the Mutual Life Insurance Company Of this
city, and the qualification We experienced on
ascertaining that our colossus has outgrown
that Of Europe in almost every respect, can
only be imagined by those who have devoted
years to the promotion of Life Insurance III
shis country, and who consequently share our
enthusiasm.
1t appears that the annual revenue Of the
Mutual Life exceeds that Of the Scottish
Widows Fund by 1856 per cent The new
polces issued ip 1866 by the Mutual Life
are greet. than those granted by the Scot
fish Widows Fund by an excess OF SEQ per
cent.
Having got the start Of the Scottish Wild
ows' Fund the Mutual Life intends to retain
it. he efforts Of the latter Company in tie
world, should be assisted by every Amer .ca n
Jealous for the welfare and credit of his
country, for a contest for supremacy Of this
kind is so beneticent aud honorable that every
Que may engage in it with credit to himself
and advantage to all"
We learn that This Monmouth Company
has with its agency here (Messrs Phillips i
Garber) nearly three hundred thousand dol
lars Of risks upon some of the best business
men of our town. 1t has now upwards Of
Twenty-Five Millions Of cash accumulations

fuence of the tide of emigration This is
rushing in from all parts of the United

rored by nature with such very great advan-
tages as an agricultural, grazing, mining and
manufacturing country. We know of no
portion Of the State to be compared to it in
natural advantages, except this region around
Norfolk. Having lived iE beth Of these Sec

preference to the one around Norfolk on ac-
count Of lis unrivalled climate, its position
