half per cent lower than that assessed by any
Mutual company in the State. During the
last four years-a period Of unexampled de-
preston in the insurance husiness-the as

averaged but four and one-sixteen per cent
annually. The company is emphatically a

GREAT SUCCESS.
The second dsy of the State Fair, at St.
Alhans, was marked by every indication of
extraordinary success. The attendance of
people has rarely been equalled on the sec
ond day of the Fair, and if continued to- day
will carry the receipts up to a figure rival
ling those of the old, pslmy days, when the
Fair WAS held in DARLINGTON. and when the
State Apr,cultural Society had shekels by
the tbousand to invest.
The peopIe were pouripg in all the fore
noon. One train over the Vermont Central,
from the Southeast, was composed of hrenty-
three cars filled to OVERLOOKING, and the
trains from all quarters brought thousands,
attracted by the low rates of fare and other
inducements By noon the grounds seemed
fairly filed with people, while hundreds of
wagons dotted the space inside of the track
and teams were hitched to every post of the
miles of fence. Floral and Mechanics Halls
were of course thrOpged with dense crowds
OF struggling aud perspiring humanity
Aoout eight thousand entrance tickets were
sold during the day, and it is estimated that
not less than ten thousand persons were on
the grounds. some estimates placing the
number one or two thousand higher.
