BARBADOS Mutual Life Assurance Society.

ESTABLISHED IN 1910.
INCORPORATED BY SPECIAL ACT 1851.
CHIEF OFFICE:
No. 20, HIGH STREET, B~RIDGETowN, BARBADOS
pNHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that OF
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sutf-
cient TO create large surpluses, out OF
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among Il e
Members of the Society.
Its career, during q period of 80 years.
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required TO assure 500,
for the whole term, upon a single life:-

TIE PEACH CRoP.-Our own Information,
through trustworthy sources, confirms the
opinion, not being generally expressed by
our exchanges from that section, that the
fruit crop In the lower part Of the Peninsula,
though seriously injured by the recent storm,
Is not totally destroyed, as was at first feared.
This remark applies to Worcester, Somerset,
WicoInico, and Dorchester, In Maryland ;
and Sussex, in Delaware. In the tier Of
counties further north, In which is included
Talbot, Caroline, Kent, and Queen Anne's,
IN Marylandi and Kent, In this State, the
damage is much lighter, and probably half a
crop will DO made. In the two next north
erly peninsular counties, Cecil, In Maryland,
and New Castle, in Delaware, the damage
done was slight, and there will be, from
present appearances, good average crop.
This, we believe, to be correct statement OF
the peach prospect at present, and unless we
have some very unreasonable weather in.
deed good crop will be realized. All who
have any Idea Of the misery aud bankruptcy
which would follow another total failure Of
this Important crop will Join us In congratu-
latlng the farmers that the prospect Is much
brighter than they hoped Wilmington Re-
pa6lIcdA.

LOCAL DEPARTMENT.

REGISTRATION IN THE FIRsr wARn.-The
board Of registration met at the Hibernia
engine house, corner Of ii md Nineteenth
streets, yesterday at 10 o'clock, TO continue
the registration Of voters In the First ward.
Upon the opening Of the doors, several hun
dred persons had formed In line, tho major
part Of whom were colored, anxious 10 have
their names recorded In the book, and tho
clerks and Judges were nj once tested TO their
utmost ability TO record names and PROFOUND
questions.
The police arrangements were under the
mperyislon of Lieutenant Hurley and Ser
geant 8. W. Taylor, and right well did they
discharge the duties assigned them, nothing
occurring during the registration that could be
construed a breach OF the peace, notwth'
atandinp several pleasantries and "side
shows" were demonstrated In front OF the
enCinc-house by number OF colored citizens,
declaring that they intended TO support the
"cltlEen ticket" at the coming election.
Observing the crowd from the opening to
the close, 1t may DO safe TO assert that the
registration yesterday was nine colored to
one white, as Is usual on the first days oil
registry, as the white citizens, from some
cause or other, defer registering until the last
day allotted for that purpose.
To-day the Board will meet at the same
place, commencing at IL o'clock, and con
tinuing In session until o'clock, p. M, and
tomorrow the Board will open the registry
In the Second ward, on Fourteenth street
between q street and New York avenue.
On Tuesday and Wednesday OF next week
the Board will meet at the City Hall for tn,
registry of the Fourth ward voters, and on
Thursday and Friday In the Fifth ward, and
on Saturday and Monday Of the following
week in the Sixth ward, and Tuesday ant
Wednesday in the Seventh ward.
This arrangement will bring tho Boar
down TO the 18th proxlmo, leaving 1t ampl
time to resume registration In any ward i
may be found necessary, and this, VIC hnv,
the assurance, will be done.
We learn that the several application
from females to register, In order to vote a
the approaching election, have been sub
mittcd to the Board by VIM. A. Cook, esq.
the chairman, and AFTER elaboration th,
opinion prevails with the Board that the ac
OF Congress provides only for the registry
of D,dh voters" and the commission arr
unanimous In their opinion that they are no
entitled to the elective franchise.
The total number registered at this SEES
sion of the Board was sol, about two third
Of whom were colored men. The Boar
was in session from IL o'clock IN. TO
O'Clock +. IN.
