The weather was very fine, and all parties
seemed to enjoy the trip. Saturday night
It began to rain, and 1t has been pouring
down ever since. The streets are quite
muddy. The atmosphere is very chilly
and unpleasant. There is theatrical
troupe here, for the benefit Of the West
Virginia law givers, no doubt. There are
about Is applicants for the four vacant
committee clerkships. All expect to be
elected. / think the session will be a
short one, unless the Sheriffs send in their
money without delay. l am informed
that there ia less than one thousand dol
lars in the Treasury. Business seems TO
be tolerably brisk. The city banks, l am
told, have never refused to pay any de-
mands made upon them. The Kanawha
river Is rising quite rapidly. 1t will no
doubt get on a high, as there has been q
large amount Of rain in the valley during
the last 4S hours. Bar keepers are happy.

In Regard TO Insurance.
-. TnloTtran.ar.

Editors lntelllgencer:
Aware Of your readiness to enlighten
your readers on matters Of general impor.
lance, beg leave to ask information re.
garding the relation to insurer and in
8ured Of parties acting as agents for fire
insurance companies.
Some months since an agent solicited
and received an application for insurance,
on which application certain insurance
company (that shall be nameless) in your
city, through its President and Secretary,
issued and forwarded to the applicant q
policy OF insurance, In which It Is dis
tinctly stated the premium has been paid,
land which was the fact
Quite recently the party holding the
policy received q notice from the Secre-
tary Of said company as follows:
"This Company issued Policy No. -
in your name, dated May l, 1873, now
going on six months, and you having fail.
ed or neglected to pay this company $25,
the premium due on said policy, or If
paid by you to your agent, he has not
paid the company, and you are hereby
notified that your said insurance is can
celed from this date. You will perceive
that by the terms and conditions Of your
said policy, that no claims for loss or
damage shall be binding on said compa.
ny unless the premium has been actually
paid to them"
The policy expressly states that the
premium had been paid, and now after g
lapse Of nearly six months, the policy
holder Is very coolly informed that his
policy Is Cancelled because the premium
has not been paid. Suppose the property
insured, and on which the insured party
had paid the premium, (of which he has
evidence on the face OF the policy had
been destroyed by fire, It would have been
yery unjust TO have thrown the loss on
the party insured.
Tho point on which information Is de-
sired Is whether 1t Is the policy OF insur.
ance companies generally to appoint
agents, duly commission them, furnish
them with the various appliances tor the
successful transaction OF business, and
then repudtae their acts at pleasure, and
subject the insured parties to whatever
loss and injury may result from their de-
linquencies.
Tho insurance interests Of the country,
having become so extensive. involving
hundreds of millions Of dollars, the sub.
ject should be as clear as possible OF
complication, and every point connected
withit should be fully investigated, and
thoroughly disseminated in order TO an
understanding Of its principles and its
practical operation. PoL1cYHoLDER.
