Many persons suppose that the high tide
that visited this part of the Eastern Atlantic

tide of the present year were really tidal
waves, caused by the submarine upheavals
and of the same nature as these sudden and
disastrous precipitations OF the sea upon the
coasts OF the Pacific and Indian oceans, that
have occurred several times within quar-
ter of century. In September. 1877, the
tide would rise with great rapidity for .
while, and then recede, to flow inward

minutes. In October, 1878, the inflow Of

FARMERS MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE Co.
AT special meeting of the directors of
this company, held on the 22d instant. it
was resolved to so modify the rules of
the company Us to give those who
hereafter become members the option of
adhering to the prepayment plan, or of
paying down but n nominal sum and de-
pending on annual assessments TO meet
losses and expenses. This step we regard
as wise and timely concession to the
especial demands of the times, First
the scarcity of money is such, especially
among farmers, that it is often found diff.
cult to raise the whole amount in advance.
and the tax would be much less BURDEN
some if it could be met in small annual
instruments. Second-the losses bv fire
have of late years become SO heavy-not
merely in this, but in all companies-and
withal so huctuating. that it is utterly i'm
possible to SO acknowledgements the future
us to collect in advance sum that shall
be sufficient, and only sufficient, to meet
the losses and expenses during the life of
the policy-as was done with substantial
equity during the first twenty five years of
its existence. These changed conditions
can only be met with perfect exactness by
the plan of annual assessments But in
changing the rule TO meet this exigencv
he directors by no means abandon tho
plan of advance payments, under which
he company prospered SO remarkably for
! quarter of century, but simply open
he door to those who, by changed circum- /
tances or from principle, prefer the as. !
essment plan. Z
BY strict adherence to the old rule of 5
nsuring nothing but the safest kind of i
arm property; by untiring vigilance in il
aspect to the character of their risks. and I
specially in cutting down existing over &
1 ,urances by a reduction of salaries and !
expenses 10 the lowest possible point-the n
ircctors confidently appeal to their old e.
atrons and the farming public, assured =
nat the future is as full of promise, as the ia
asst has been of prosperity.
