There Is no magnetism In tho man all is dreary

supposed that he has come to consult with Gen.

but little encouragement, II is supposed tbs, oNe Is

ETNA INSURANCE COMPANY OF
HARTFORD, CoNN.--The services of this
sterling old company have been so long
and so we'll tested, and its wealth and
willingness are so widely known, that
words Of mere endorsement and com.
mendation are simply superauous. 1t
has ever been conservative and careful,
and at the same time vigorous, energetic
and successful beyond all precedent; its
history is as prominently solitary even
among the fruitful records Of American
fire underwriting as is the tall summit Of
its namesake above the vineyards and
orchards of sea. .girt Sicily, and its pol
icies are regarded by the lovers of choice
securities somewhat as financial epicure
regards q government obligation. To
deny that the Ktna is entitled to this
proud rank is to deny just reward to
the successful victor in many hard fought
fields. The company that can point to a
loss list that now approximitates twenty.
seven millions Of dollars, and at the same
time point to q steadily increasing income
and an unfaltering accre;ion Of wealth
until its present assets reach five and
half millions, may be pardoned for look
ing back over the fiery path with com.
placency, as it reads therein record
that has never been traced on this or the
Eastern Continent by any other similar
instruction.
For more than half q century the
Etna has fought the Gre fend in its
earlier days with varying success, but, on
the average, with satisfactory results to
those who have risked their capital in the
enterprise; and, during the last half of
its career, with conspicuous ability and
thrift.
With a national system of agencies
managed with consummate care, the
IEtna carries to every town Of note in
the entire country the benefits of its
superb organization, and brings first.
class insurance within the easy reach of
every property holder that may desire to
avail himself thereof. Both indemnity
from loss by FIRE ard security against loss
by the perls of inland navigation are
afforded in the several departments Of
the Nina's transactions. We shall look
to the future for grand continuance OF
that career that has made the Ktna' 8
name in the past and the present house
hold word throughout the nation.

LOCAL AND COUNTY.
Our Literary Society.

Editor Hearld: I beg leave through
the columns Of your paper, to make an ap.
peal 10 behalf of an effort which was made
somo time since by some Of our citizcns
for the interest and improvement Of the
public generally in knowledge Of an
cient and modern lore. Feeling desire
for some such innocent, interesting and
improving pastime, by request it was
announced among your locals that o
meeting would bo held by the citizens for
the purpose Of ascertaiuing what interest
might be taken in such an effort. Ac-
corlinely, on the appointed evening we
met. Imputable to the inclemency Of the
weather, we we're somewhat disappointed
to see but few present, but we're again
compensated to behold what eagerness
and earncstncss was manifested in the
attempt. After holding meeting Of two
hours length and fully discussing the
propriety Of such an association, with
some ten or twelve participants, we ad-
jouruod. All were Of the opinion that
by proper diligence we could ultimately
succeed in establishing Lyceum, which
might live beyond our time, and be Of
lasting interest to all who might become
members.
During the meeting it vas resolved
that We continue our efforts in this cause
by holding a meeting on the l4th inst,
at which time we might determine what
would be the character Of the institution
A committee of three was appointed to
drauehta Constitution and by laws, to be
read, criticised, amended and signed by
such as might consider it to their interest
to become members Of this order, at the
ensuing meeting.
As to tho nature aud object of this
association, we would advise all to come
and see for themselves. At any rate, w
propose to spend our evenings much more
pleasantly and advantageously than many
others who spend them on the street; and
in the course Of time. we hope to afford ,
pleasant diversion to all who may fee! 10
