cut aud the cattle on that side jumped ashore,
leaving all the weight on the guard, which
swamped her, The crew escaped drowning,

Again the ratio of expenditure deaths and
expenses) to total income for the first fifteen
years of the Mutual was 4027 per cent, while
in the Equitable for thirteen years and five
months to the LIST ofJanuary, 1873 it was3495 per
cent, being difference of 5-32 per cent, and
equivalent to q saw ing in expenditure of 81 pos
O20-the calculations being made on the pIinci-
pies adopted ir the article now replied to.
1t may further be said that the stated premi-
UNI receipts of the Mutual, from which most of
the ratios in the table are drawn, are not the
amounts actually received in cash, but include
a vast amount of hypothetical receipts, balanc-
ed by other hypothetical amounts of out-po in
the shape of dividends, SO that an ordinary
reader is deceived and gets an idea ofthe cost
of doing the business very different from the
truth, and all ratios like those in the advertise
ment, founded on these hypothetical receipts,
are grossly erroneous and intended to deceive
Moreover. there are other mistakes, some of
which may be alluded to to show how little de-
pendence can be placed on the comparison
made.
These mistakes are made apparently for the
purpose of misleading. Thus the Equitable is
said to have lent large amount (Sl07, $3.50 on
personal security only while in fact the amount
stated is the amount of personal property mem
toned in its report. The amount of rents re-
ceived is stated very much less than the truth
as it was reported to the State. Again the
comparison states that that the Equitable has
in "premiums overdue more than three months"
a large amount, while the Mutual has nothing;
when in fact the report to the State makes
this the amount of premium due not more than
three months-the word mot" being very ma
terial word in such statements. Besides which
some of the ratios are grossly mistated.
Whether these misrepresentation promote
the cause of life insurance L leave for others to
decide.
In conclusion / give comparative statement
of the Equitable, at the end of 1872. and of all
the New York Companies in 1859, when the
Equitable commenced business;

VERMONT STATE AGRICULTURAL So
CIETY.-The Directors of the Vermont
State Agricultural Society held bust
ness meeting at the Bardwell House, Rut-
land, Jan. 2lst, when the premium list
was arranged, and judges appointed for
the next annual Fair. to be held the I'd
week in September next. The Commit
tee to locate the Fair (Hon. David Good
all and James A. Shedd,) asked for fur
Their time to report. 1t is probable that
the fair will be held at Rutland.
A very liberal list of premiums is off
cred, and the Society will do everything
to insure success.
A proposition to reduce the herd pre-
miums from $50 to S25. was very prop
erly voted down by a large majority.
Mr.. James Wick of Rochester, n. Y.
the celebrated Florist, will make large
exhibition in the Floral Hall, and offers
liberal special premiums for flowers
grown in the State from seeds procured
of him. This feature of the exhibition
will be very attractive one.
1t Is contemplated to make arrange
ments with the Vermont Dairymen's AS
ISOLATION for special exhibition cf but.
ter and cheese at the Fair to be under
the auspices of the Dairymen's Associa-
ton.
