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 suff-
Gent TO create large surpluses, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per annnm upon the amour
assured have been distributed among Il Q
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 OF
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhahiting
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,
or the whole term, upon Il single life =
, 1870-11-11

Assurances of every description on sin

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 tS6
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 quinquennialIy,

CRAwLED Up.-Once upon time gentle
man found in his henroost a simple-minded
soul in the vicinity, who lived without visible
means of support.
"What are you doing here, you rascal ?
steeling my chickens"
'No, SIR was the response; 81 aint
thought of doin nothin' of the sort"
1t unfortunately happened that the sinple-
minded individual wore high straw hat, of
the dimensions of a beehive, and the crown
thereof was dilapidated to a serious extent.
just as he had put in his denial, the head of
a haltgrown pullet was seen to protrude from
the Aperture.
"See here" said the gentleman, show did
the chicken get in your hat?"

CATTLE ON THE PLAINs.-The White Pine
Ne'es of February 5th says The cattle men
of San Francisco have kept ordinary beef at
extraordinary prices. The operators on the
plains have long purses and will break the
market. In the summer this transportation
by rail will not be available-unless by en-
ploying ice from the mountains. But in the
spring large bands of fat cattle will be driven
to California from the valleys. These cattle
thrive amazingly. Thousands of them are
now slaughtered in Cheyenne for the San
Francisco market. The carcasses reach there
in seven days. Sixty thousand pounds passed
over the railroad in one lot, last week TIE
long stretches of level land crossed by the Pa
cfc Railroad no longer present the forbid
ding front they did in the good old emgrant
times. Water enough and vegetation spring
ing up luxuriantly where the like was never
seen before; and the drovers find fine pastur-
age in Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming and Da-
kota for large bands of cattle from Texas and
New Mexico.

cisive intlmation, the gentleman hencefo-th
gaveup his cigar, took tonics for a month,
and has ever since enioved excellent health.
The second case was that OF person who
felt his energies declining lost his appetite,

rience, he renouhced tobacco entirely, and
from that day has no recurrence of the symp-
