A Thriving Institution.

From the ohio Statesman, Dec %.
About the first of June last, we recorded
the incorporation ofa new institution, The
State Mutual Aid Association, an insur.
ance association based on the mutual assess.
ment plan.
Since that date we have almost.lost sight
ofthis enterprise, 80 quietly and smoothly
has it done its work. A few days ago we
visited the Home Office and found the Pres
ident, Hon. VIM. BELL, JR.. the Secretary,
J. II. SAMPSON, and the assistant, busy
attending to the duties ogsheir offices, and
almost hidden under the immense pile Of
applications before them. and issuing cir
tifcates, answering letters, sending out sup.
plies, ect. Upon inquiry we found already
upon their books nearly 600 members, from
every part Of Ohio. Taking into consider
alton the fact that this Association has been
actively at work only six months, and the
fact that during much of Jnly and August,
business of all kinds was suspended for har-
vest and the great strike, the growth of this
Association has been remarkable. The
causes which have led to such encouraging
results are the peculiarly clear, equitable
and popular plan of giving both life and
endowment insurance at cost, and allowing
the members to control their own money
and use it until actually needed to pay
losses. A member of this Association does
not have to pay out large amounts Of
: money to be squandered by extrava
| 10 thau a. St.o.-
4 ance during their whole lives to secure tht
benefit. Those who remain faithful to tn,
Association from Is to 25 years receive
themselves, all the benefits of their insur
ance. Some ofthe features 80 popular witt
this Association, are:
II 1st. Endowment Insurance on the Mu
/. tual Assessment plan.
:, I'd. Uniform membership fee only 81
for any age or amount taken.
Sd. No annual dues, or other extra char
ges, whatever.
4th. Return of all assessments paid in n
es TO date of claim pro rata, to the number {
irtifeates in force at that date.
90 5th. No division into classes.
9Th Care in selection of risks, and stri
DO economy in its management
7th. Charging she members for insu
ance according to what they get
at The fact that they have as yet not had
sp loss, and are rapidly approaching lnrl
membership, shows that the plan is not
experiment., and that good insurance CT
he be had at home, where all the officers a
los known, and all the money kept within o.
10 own State.
ra The officers are men of integrity and G
at ergy, and we have this to say of our oy
confidence in them and their plan, that
have taken q membership in the assoc
INK ton, and would heartily recommend Q
friends TO do likewise.

A Remarkable Result.

It makes no difference how many Physi-

tried, it is now an established fact that Ger

thousands of persons who are predisposed
to Throat and Lung Affections, Consump-
tion, Hemorrhages, Asthma, Severe Colds

The distinguished Meteorologist and
Weather Prophet, Professor Tice, of St.
Louis, has issued his annual national
Weather Almanac for 1878, in which he
foretells the weather for every day in the
year, explains the theory clearly on which
his predictions are based, gives directions
by which the unscientifc can foretel the
weather, and other valuable matter. The
whole constitutes work of great practical
value to every one, and is almost indespen
