In a little document entitled "Facts,' which
has recently been exhibited to us, the officers
of the Equitable Life Assurance Society re-
corded the fact that their annual average busi-
ness for the last six years was greater than
that of any other company. The report of the
Massachusetts, Commissioner, which has just
been issued, shows that the total new business
in 1876 of all companies (forty-one in number)
was $28S, 1881 JIG, of which amount the Equita-
BILE issued $2S, sos, ia, about one-tenth of the
entire amount and larger amount than any
other company in the United States. There is
little difficulty in accounting for this tremen-
dous success. No company has ever been man
aged with the same degree Of vigor, tact and
skill. The principles on which the business of
the company is based, are those which exact
the approval of the most conservative business
men.
The Equitable Tontine Savings Fund plan of
insurance will probably Prove more advantage

ton of the already immense surplus then takes

CRY AND CoUNTRY.-In New York city a
respectable family pays $500 annually for the
rent of house. A physician charges them
from three to five dollars for single visit and
quenty requires long ride and great incon-
venience to obtain physician, and when found
he may not be able to procure the proper reme-
dies. The most remarkable and unfailing rem
edy the world has ever seen, and the one which
is endorsed by all physicians, is now placed
within the reach of every family, where it can
always be kept for immediate use. Danger
arises from delay. One dollar or fifty cents in
vested in Centaur Liniment will last a family a
year There is no pain which it will not re-
lieve,, mo swelling it will not subdue, wound it
will not heal, or lameness it will not cure. 1t

fruit in abundance, bread from as
nice wheat as the country can pro-
duce, ground at our very door into
flour such as is now on its way to
compete with the choicest brands of
The New York markets, and honey
which cannot-be equaled. just u
word additional upon a few facts
connected with bees and the hum
dreds of tons of liquid sweets they.
are gathering in this county this
year. Last week ! saw thirteen
swarIns of bees,all faithfully at work
on Mr.. AyIworth's place at Paradise
Valley. Six months ago he had one
swarm. The twelve additional ones
are the increase. He has taken away
$50 pounds of honey, will take at
least so more, and leave enough for
the use Of the bees.
The Orizaba, one of the steamers
of the P. NJ. 5. c., is now at the
wharf plain in sight. One man ships
by her twenty-five tons of honey.
How many tons he has sent away al
ready, do not know, nor can | give
anv estimate of how much more he
will have to send. There can be no
question that three hundred tons
some say four hundred-will be
shipped from this port this season.
Large quantities of it are sent as far
east as Chicago, but it must be pack
ed with great care in strong boxes,
and these must be securely wedged
in the car in order to stand the long
journey. The honey made in this
county is all white, and the comb is
very light colored- these facts Great
ing a great demand for it.
The people of San Diego are do
ing what they can to improve the ap-
pearance of the place and increase
the value of the property, by Guilt
waiting trees in the streets. Many
hundreds were put ont last winter,
and some of them are making mar
velous growth. When transplated
the trees were taken from pots, and
were little stems not more than six
or eight inches high. Now many of
them are six or eight feet in height,
and make quite tree like appear
ance. One EucaIycaptus tree has
attracted my attention for its rapid
growth. From a little sprig, it has
grown since January last to height
of twelve feet. But, alas! the grace
ful old elms of Norwalk are not
here, and their like never will BEL
How it would cheer ones eyes to
look at them!
