Two fine horses were burnt to death, sever al
fremen were injured by falling bricks. and
many made narrow escapes from being buried
under the falling walls. The firemen worked
manfully until near O'Clock this morning,
when they had the flames entirely subdued.
Some of the vessels lying at the dock near by
were In great danger for q time, and the
schooner Margaret Ella took fire, but the James
were extinguished by fighting them with snow
and cutting the sails. Parties who walked over

scene-the fire being reflected oy the snow on

Hartford Insurance Companies

TT rum the Boston IOst, Dec. 6tn, 1877
The Insurance Spectator for December has
the following deserved and appropriate mention
OF the Hartford companies. Certainly. they are
entitled to all, and even warmer praise than is
uttered:
"There is something almost sublime in the
attitude Of the Hartford companies at this try
ing time. Not company is embarrassed; not
one talks Of discoura cement; losses will be paid
dollar for dollar, as soon as adjusted; January
dividends are stopped, of course, but otherwise
the So 900 lost is treated only as an incentive
TO new enterprise and drawer progress"
"The Old Hartford sustains its grandeur of
prestige in spite of Boston just as it did in spite
OF Chicago. These immense confagrations
which wipe out Of existence entire cities and
destroy property to the amount OF millions of
dollars. compel people to examine into insur-
ance as they never did before. And, when this
inquisitiOn Is made, the Old Hartford endures
every test and every criticism in a way which
Is almost sublime. Pr0mpt and sure TO pay in
full; backed by stockholders who are ready to
guarantee all contracts; managed by men of
the very highest ability and honor; served by
agents OF uDexception tble character and capa-
city; and, in all particulars, filling the ideal of
a true insurance company, the Hartford only
gains stronger hold upon public confidence
with every one OF these great historical tires
whose pathway is lined with bankruptcies. No
one who holds the policy of the Old Hartfo ri
need doubt that he is really insured
