The Mutual System Of Insurance,

In its security, economy, and
benefits, to the insured and to
the State; has been so fully and
successfully exhibited, by the
experience Of the SOUTHERN MI
TUAL ms. Co., OF ATHENS, Ga,
for 26 years past 4; it having lib
orally paid all its losses, return
ed large profits to the Policy
Holders, and reserving over
100000 Of its profits; that it
becomes a patriotic duty to ex-
tend its benefits more generally
over the State. The Southern
Mutual cannot prudently under
take a fifth part of the fire risks;
five similar Companies are need
ed to cooperate with it, in pro-
tecting the property of the State
against the hazard of fire ; by
which full security will be at
tanned, at the minimum cost of
insurance. To advance these
important benefits; two similar
Mutual companies have been
chartered and established at Ma
rietta, Cobb county, Georgia,
THE MUTUAL PROTECTION INSUR-
ANCE COMPANY, and
THE.GRANGE. MUTUAL INSURANCE
COMPANY.
The latter company has not yet
been fully organized to secure
success, the liberal cooperation
of the public is necessary, dur
ing their infancy ; in giving
these companies fire risks in
small amounts, prudently dis
tributed. All communications
relative to the business of these
companies, must be addressed to
the undersigned.

A SECRET SEWING SOCIETY.
ALBANY, N. Y, Oct. %, 1873.

Since my las; letter, great changes
have taken place, among which may
! be mentioned a secret sewing socie-
ty, organized by your correspon-
dent. 1t is most interesting asso-
citation, the most peculiar feature of
which is the fact that the president
thereof steadily declines to entertain
applications for membership, from
outside parties, though it may be
proper to state in this connection,
that there does not appear to be any
general desire to be initiated into
the mysteries of the above mention
ed body, on the part Of the public
The object Of the society may be
gathered from the following extract
from tho presidents diary as the
society is a secret one the remarks
appended were submitted to my in
spection only after promise of strict
silence, so you will please speak of
it as little as possible;
Body met as usual, president in
the chair together with q shirt, a
needle, button, a razor and spool
of black thread meeting was called
to order and none found absent
The president then proceeded to
tack the button on the shirt and sub
sequently bite the thread, when it
was suggested that the rasor was
the weapon generally used in such
cases; the razor having been sub
stituted and applied with great sue
cess the president discovered that it
was not his shirt. After a recess,
the president having found one of
his own shir proceeded to sew a
button on the neck of it, with great
vigor and industry, so that in few
moment, amidst vociterous self
congratuIation, he succeeded in
fastening the back to the bosom,
and the button to both, to say moth
ing about biting the needle in two
three times, and finding out that it
was the other shirt that wanted a
button. The society then adjourn
ed with the razor in one hand the
point of broken needle in the 9th
err, TO meet at some future day"
Following the above extract we're
numerous, mysterious aud dreadful
hints about "it were better that
mill stone'--"twas ever thus from
chidhood's hour'-and numerous
other unfinished remarks, or rather
they were written as if by one in
great distress of mind, so that your
correspondent could not decipher
them.
We were very much edited day
or two since by the opportunity Of
hearing Messrs Beach and O'Con-
nor caress each other with their two
edged compliments the miserable
pittance over which they disaer ed
was about six hundred thousand dol
lars, of which trife Thos. G. Fields
has kindly relieved the State of New
York. The distinguished counsel
Just mentioned do not seem to wor>
ship and adore each other
If that society meets again | will
send another report.
Yours truly, AMIGA.
