THE NATIONAL LIFE INSURANCE COM
PANY

PANY
We have taken occasion before to refer to the
organization, the personnel, and the manner OF
operation of the National Life Insurance Com
pany of America, which is advertised in our
columns. The great success of the Company, as
demonstrated from month to month, warrants
repeated allusiou to its peculiar features. We
learn that up to the first OF Maya perio1 of but
nine months from its organization-this Com
pany had issued not less than 1--we thousand poll
cies, although its system of agencies was far
from complete
As is generally known, the Company has au
thority from Congress t. do bus ness in an Y
State of the Union. 1t has now agents activel '
at work upon the Pacific Coast, and by the ..x.
piration of its first year, 1t will have cove red
nearly, If not ALL our own country, as well the
Dominion of Canada
Ihese facts show that the plan upon VIII ich the
Company does business commends itself to nom
ular favor There h good reason why this should
be so. The rates Of the COMPANY are lou. =
avoids all complications uncertainties of notes
or dividends; when the insured pays his money
he knows to a cent how much that payment vii,
secure to his wife children; and when his
death does come, they suffer no disappointment
by tie presentation Of unsusr ecte ed notes. which
are TO be deducted from the face Of the policy
Thus, when, few weeks ago, the agent of this
Company at Franklin, Pa, paid 81 900 to the
family OF q laboring man who had insured for
that amount but six weeks previous, the prompt
itude OF the Company and the simplicity of the
| transaction were so apparent that insurance to
the amount Of $4,000 was Immediately effected
by the neighbors Of the deceased. Another case
has been reported, where 5000 was paid On the
first Of April to the family Of Rev. Lambert &.
Fine, Of Troy, Pa, who died on the 9th Of March,
and who had insured for the above amount in
December last. The managers Of the National
Lie are gentlemen Of widely-known and highly
honored reputation rs dnanciers and its list Of
agencies embraces business men Of integrity and
respect IN their several localities. Every indica-
ton promises successful and honorable career
for the National Life Insurance COMPANY. and
we commend to the attention Of our readers the
card Of the local agency. which VIII b found
elsewhere.

The OIL PRoDUCTIoN.-The Titus
vile, pa Herald says the production of
petroleum increased steadily during the
month OF April, and the daily average
was l1,O67 barrels of forty-three gallons
AN enlargement of ,276 barrels over the
daily average Of March. This increase
was caused more by the continuous work
ing OF the wells, and the use of torpedoes,
than by the finding of new wells. The
daily product during April, last year, was
about o,7OO barrels, and the average per
Gay nom January LIST to May LIST, was
about s,l0O barrels. Taking into account

Illus rated The chapter on food and
ger .eral treatment, occupying thirty-four
ell filled pages, is to every horse-owner
well worth the price of the book. Over
three hundred pages are devoted to a
plain, practical ex PLANTATION of the various
diseases and their treatment; chapters
being given to each of the following divis-
ions: diseases of the bones, feet, glands
and nasal membranes; eyes, muscles and
tendons, skin and ears, brain and nervous
system, teeth and mouth, throat, chest
and lungs, stomach and bowels, liver, uri-
nary organs, etc, heart and blood, poisons,
insects, etc. Each of these subjects are

the most simple remedies possible are re-
commended. The remedies, lniments.
&c, presc ribed, are the result of long and
patient Study, and have been proved over
and over again in the authors own wide
and sue cessful practice. Fractures, shoe
ing, vices and unsoundness, marks of age
and abuse, etc, form the closing chapters
of this valuable work. But few technical
scientific terms are used, and what few
were absolutely necessary are explained
in separate chapter. Plain Ineligible
recipes are given for compromising all the

MILTON, Vt, May 6, 1869.
JAMES A. SHEDD, Esq.
DEAR SIR,-Having received chal-
lenge from you, through Nathan Lincoln,
Esq, to test the milking qualities of our
thoroughbred Ayrshire cows with your
thoroughbred Short Horn Durhams, we
make you the following propositions :
You may select of your thoroughbred
Durhams, in the month of June next, and
we will take the the four thoroughbred
Ayrshircs purchased by US of J. 2. x T.
\. Dawes. We will pasture them toge-
ther in the town of Colchester-with no
feed but grass, and will milk them two
weeks-a man being provided by you and
one by us to milk and weigh the same.
At the end of the time we will weigh the
cows, and if the milk produced by your
Durha1ns shall outweigh the milk pro-
duced by our Ayrshires in proportion to
the weight of the cows, we will pay the
sum of five hundred dollars 5000 pre-
MUM, provided that if the milk pro-
duced by our Ayrshires shall out
weigh the milk produced by your Dur
hams in proportion to the weight Of the
e..,-s yot, WIN pay us the sum of $500
premium.
We viii give you two weeks to accept
or reject the proposition.
