FIRE INSURANCE. An excellent measure
ii under consideration by our fire under
writers. It is proposed to limit the risk
which each company may take in d given
district to the .amotint Of that company's
net assets. with this view the cities and

mapped out in suitable fire districts. What
is Known as the i.sdry-soods district OF
this CITY is cause: OF constant fear to the
fire-insurance companies, and to it the new

There is little apparent opposition 70 the

mode Of limiting risks which has long been

YoUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF
RICHMoND.-At 4 recent meeting OF the di-
rectory OF this Association it was deter
mined to put forth special effort 10 place
the Association in position to carry out
the objects OF its organization. In order to
do this it was found to be indispenSably ne
cessary to raise 4 fund outside OF the regu-
lar contributions, and the subject was re-
ferrcd to committee, consisting Of Messrs.
James Gordon, Thomas Potts, and John B.
Branch.
The committee submitted the following
report, which was unanimously adopted:
The Committee Of Ways and Means, TO
whom was referred the resolution passed at
the regular monthly meeting Of the direc-
TORY in June in regard to the present fnan.
ciai condition OF the Association, and the
proposition to raise a permanent endcw-
ment fund, beg leave to report that they
have bad the whole subject under careful
consideration, and are deeply impressed
with its Importance, both as to the present
condition OF the Association and its future
prospects. ,--r-. ..
The scheme for raising funds for the
erection OF suitable building and its equip
ment for the use Of the Association, and for
the enlargement OF the library and news de-
partment and permanent endowment, is,
we think, Of great Importance, and should
engage the earnest effort OF the directory
and our entire membership. .......
The objects we aim at are the spiritual,
moral, and social Improvement OF our young
men, and 1t appears to your committee that
these objects can, in large measure, be at
tained, il we are successful in carrying out
the scheme indicated.
In regard to the means to be employed in
raising the necessary funds, your committee
have carefully considered the following
plan: -.. ...5-,..,
To employ n general agent to canvass the
city, State, and, il necessary, other States,
to solicit contributions from the friends OF
the cause and the public generally to carry
on the work Of the Association in such way
as shall make it prove blessing to the COM
munity. -. -r.a ..r.. ..,.a III
Your committee therefore recommend that
an agent be appointed at once to undertake
this work, and that the directory, the entire
membership OF the Association, and the
press OF the State, be earnestly invited to
aid in accomplishing the work as speedily, ,as
possible.
The directory have, selected q, gentleman
OF well known ability, who is thoroughly
infused with the Importance OF the work
and with q sincere love for the Asso ociation,
who, it is believed. will undertake the work
and push it forward to success. .,, ...r,t
The claims OF this Association on the COM
lnunity at large have always been conceded,
and no doubt an appeal for help Will meet
with hearty response from our citizens
generally. Z, t.s s,. --...t,,,,..
