This is entirely new plan, giving Insurers
the largest return ever made by any Company in
the same period.
The Company give credit when desired, of from
33 to SO per cent. of premiums.
An illustration of the advantages of the credit
system as practiced by this Company, is the case
of ii. G. Coe, of Yonkers, who insured his life in
this Company for $4,000, in February, 1857, pay
ing the whole premium in cash, Sis at the end
of the first year it was impossible for him raise
the amount of the premium then due, in cash, and
he came to the office prepared to surrender the
policy. Being told that he could give his note
for the premium, he did SO. His death occurred
in less than seven months. His family are now
in the enjoyment of the amount insured Had
he insured in an call cash. Company, they would
have been left unprovided for

CHICAGO, July ga gentleman
who has been travelling through this
State, south of the Ohio & Mississip-
pi Railroad, says that the wheat crop
has been gathered and is in excellent
condition. The crop is immense, and
fully double what it was last year.
Corn looks very promising, and there
seems scarcely a doubt that the crop
will be very large. Oats, potatoes,
&c are all that could be desired.
From all parts of Wisconsin comes
the information that the wheat crop
promises to be very heavy. The har-
vest will be from ten days to two
weeks later than usual. All the
crops look equally we'll except corn,
which is little backward, but should
there be no unreasonable weather,
that will also be large. The same
general reports come from Iowa.

are obtained from the plantations
and as the country is very productive
both parties have an abundance OF
provisions. The principal wants OF
the revolutlonists are arms, medicine,

have arsenals established for the
manufacture of cartridges and the re-
pairing of arms that may become dis
