Msssss. EDITORS: A few local items from
this village, might not be unacceptable
to your readers. Mr.. Flasher, his
daughter and two sons, had mar

Flasher, hired team of j. P. Cholvin,
to go into the country while passing cor

their stable, when Mr.. Flasher, hit them
with the whip and turned them in the d.
rection he wanted them to go just then,
the off wheel struck rock, throwing him
out, and the horses turned corner and
started up the street at full speed ct the
next corner the eldest boy was thrown out,
and opposite John Rowe's, the daughter
was thrown out, and the youngest son only
two years old was carried down Simon.
vile hill and up to LaMott's wood pile,
when he was thrown out. 1t might be ex
pacted that such run away would result
disastrously, but such was not the case
this time; for with the exception Of a slight
hurt or two received by Mr.. Flasher and
one by his daughters. no damage was done.
The children were unhurt, the horses were
not injured, and the carriage was not
broken.
In regard to the business and improve.

Itake this occasion and the medium Of
your paper to inform the Republicans oil
the Third district that I consider 1t my
duty to decline being candidate for re.
nomination to Congress.
Were public life the most desirable, con
siderations of an important nature, per
sonal and private interests would still
urge me to retire after eight years Of ser
vice in Congress. During that period, i
my own contributions have been small. the
great principles of the Republican party
have triumphed. If have accomplished
little have witnessed much I; and it il
with a eep sense of gratituds that re
turn my thanks to the generous people o
the District for their support.
AZ the close of the present Congress
should my life be spared, shall gladly re
tire from the public service, only regret
ting that have not been able to accom-
plish more, and to represent in bright
or light the honorable trust Of a most gen
erous constituency. That trust, am con
fident. however, will be returned to thu
people unsullied with dishonor and unim

E6y- The farmers of this section of the
country have been very much troubled in
procuring seed corn this season; more so
than for many years previous, on account
of the early frosts last fall. They have
been paying from 81 to 81 so per bushel,
going many miles for it, and after all the
trouble and expense, only about half of it
has grown, for in no case could they get
the seed warranted. Being in CONVERSE
zion with friend Hoffman, Of Waldwick,
ne told us of his method of procuring and
saving seed corn, and here it is:
In the first place pick the corn you in
tend for seed just as it is out CT the milk,
"a little before would be surer than some
tine after. Hang the heads across q pole
placed where the sun will shine upon and
dry the corn, always taking it in doors at
night. After thoroughly drying hang up
in granary or crib, never putting it in
heap or in close room. Never take the
corn off the cob before you want to plant
it.
Mr.. Hoffman has had considerable ex-
pericnce in the matter of growing corn,
and he says, "If these directions are strict
ly followed, the seed will surely grow
lie will warrant the above receipt no mat
ter what the season may be.

American Insurance Co., O:
Chicago, Ill.
Chartered 1855.


We herewith present condensed state
ment of the business of the American III
surance Company, of Chicago, Illinois,
which will serve not only to illustrate the
feasibility of the Installment plan of insur-
ance, as applied to the risks taken 10y the
Company, but to show in some sense the
eminent success TO which 1t may be carried.
For the six months ending March Goth,
of this year, the amount of installments
received reached the sum of $52,387 81,
while the first cash installments amounted
to $l3,552 81. 1t will be remembered
that dwelling houses, farm property,
churches, and school houses are the only
class of property upon which the Ameri
can effects insurance.
Since January last the Company has
added $4,000 to its paidpaid up capital,
which now amounts to $4,000. $l05, 769
of which is loaned on unencumbered real
estate with double the amount of the loans.
and the balance is invested in government
bonds, national bank stocks, and other
frs. class securities. ALI other accumnla-
tons Of the company amount to $4,000,
which added to the cash capital swells its
gross assets to the sum of 100000.
The American has recently complied
with the laws of Wisconsin, and secured
the services of @. P. Whitford and Col. II.
G. Peffron, as State agents for the State of
Wisconsin, both practical Insurance men.
Reasoning from the business the compa-
ny has achieved in Illinois, we shall not
be surprised to learn that the American
excels in its particular line, any other com
pany of the country in the volume of its
receipts Upon the Installment plan
paid in five equal annual payments. Upon
this plan the farmer has but small
amount to pay each year; has the ad van
tage of the proceeds of five crops to pay
for his insurance. He does not feel these
small annual payments; whereas, to pay
at the time he insures, for five years, he
feels it burden. Everything is made
easy and convenient You get time with
out interest; all risk of loss of money by
mail is assumed by the company.
M. T. Gleason, Special Agent for La
Fayette and Iowa counties, will visit the
farmers of those counties and secure them
against loss by fire and lightning, in the
American.
