Said per cent. to be cast upon the original
amount of the premium notes. without reference
to any payments. and to be paid to the treasurer
of said company at his office in Montpelier on or
before the 18th day of October, 1879.
In October, 1875 our plan of insuring was
changed from the advance pay to the annual
assessment plan. This change was made to meet
the demand of the times. growing out of the ex-
treme scarcity of money and the utter impossi-
bility of i0recasting, even approximately, our
aggregate losses. Our members will be notified
either by letter. or by our agents, of the exact
amount OF their assessment, and we ask all our
policy holders to wait until notified before max
ing any payments.
The policies on which twenty per cent. Of the
premium note mas been paid in advance, have TO
their credit an amount In excess of this assess
ment. and will not be called on TO pay under this
assessment.
Those policies are nearly all included in the
following numbers: from number 97.456 to
number 10l.570.

GENERAL GRANT will be at Pittsburgh
tomorrow, and great fuss over his ar
rival is in course Of preparation. 1t is said
that he has been invited to Wheeling, but
up to this time We have not heard that he
is to come. 1t would place the town in
rather an unenviable plight il he were to
accept and send word that he is coming.
What should we all do? We would be
compelled to send word that We were sick
or suddenly called away from home. We
never could presume to entertain the
General In the style to which he is now &C.
customed. Not unless somebody would
lend us the money and show US how. We
did, to be sure, entertain him in 1882
At the time the Mayor and city
Council received him at the Grant House
but he was only President OF the United
States then, and fresh in the office at that
That was well enough in the day OF smal
things, when Grant did not know any bet
ter; but it would never suit now, A mar
who has sat at meat with all the crowncC
heads Of Europe and Asia, and the bonanzl
kings OF California, and the heavy porI
and wheat men OF Chicago, could not CONT
down to the old days at the Grant House
Therefore let US be thankful that th'
General has been considerate enough Il
spare US. He almost deserves our vote
for third term.
