9gIHIS Society, which confines its bust
az 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 suffi-
cient to create large surpluses, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per annum upon the amour
assured have been distributed among Il e
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period Of 80 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part 70
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 =

Assurances OF every description on sin
gle lives are granted by the Society for
anySum from 0ODollars to 10, 900 Dollars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, Half
yearly, or Yearly, at the option of the
Assured.
Assurers wishing to discontinue the
payment of their Premiums, may either
dispose of their Policies to the Society
upon equitable terms, or obtain a free
Policy for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof Of such death has been re-
ceived by the Society.
Strict Investigations into the position
of the Society are made quinquennially,
and the surplus then existing is allotted to
the Members, after a sufficient sum has
been set aside for the purposes of the
Reserve Fund. The next investigation
and Division of Profits, will take place at
the 31st December, 1870.

BOYNTONS ELEVATED OVEN RANGE

This new and beautiful Range, which has just
been completed, is now offered to the public as the
oven Range i'll the market and is the result of long
experience in the manufacture and setting of Cook
ing Ranges and we do not hesitate in recommend
ing it as the nearest to perfection OF any Elevated
Oven Range in the country.
We will enumerate of the peculiar advan-
tages this Range possesses
Frst-It is more beautiful in form and design
than any other pattern.
Second-lt has much larger hot place Surface
for Boilers and Stew Pans, affording larger accom-
modations for Cooking purposes
Third-It has u smaller Fire Chamber, and burns
less coal than any other pattern of Elevated Oven
Range for the simple reason that the fire chamber
is entirely surrounded with fire brick instead of an
open CRATE in front and water back in the rear,
forming two sides of the fire las in all other pattern
ranges both of which chill and deaden the fire and
detract largely from the power and make it abso-
lutely necessary to burn larger amount of fuel.
Fourth-The body of this Range is higher than
other patterns, and is more like the French Kitch
eners, making it much more convenient and easy
for the cook.
Fifth-The hot closets are more accessible
placed in natural position (beng in the body OF
the Rangel instead of above the ovens, in other
patterns.
Sixth-The ovens do not project over the boiling
surface so as to make it inconvenent in removing
the boilers, az in other patterns. n
Seventh-There are better arrangements for con-
veying the steam to chimneys and controlling the
draft than most ranges.
Eighth-The ovens bake more evenly as we have
return tiue over the top of the (which is the
point that most often fails thus securing perfect
baking oven on the top as well as ON the bottom.
Ninth-The hues in this range are all complete in
themselves so that it is unnecessary to form them
Of brick (Which absorbs the heat) and makes the
setting OF them much more simple and sure.
Tenth-The water back can be removed and the
plumbing work can be repaired, if necessary, with
out disturbing the brick work
