Insurance Items.

1t is said that .ffsy-nine Insurance companies
have either failed teetotaly, retired, rensured or
otherwise given up the ghost, since January LIST
last past
These companies were, however, almost with
out exception, weak concerns Of the cheap order
which accepted whatever premium they could
get without regard to the risk and that was what
was the matter with embassies too small, ash
piles too big.
The Chronicles fire tables for July show that
the total losses for that month were S55ll,2 200 or
about 100000 more than for the same month
last year
Among the special hazards" burned, we note
l6 blacksmith shops ID carpenter shops, II car
rage factories, 10 drug stores 10 flour and grist
mills, "a stores, 80 houses 10 ICE houses 10 liquor
stores, Is livery stables, IA restaurants, 90 saw
mills, and so on.
"The Fire Association Of the North West
will meet in Chicago next week on the 18th and
18th inst. Insurance men anticipate very in
teresting meeting. Cornelius Walford the cele-
brated English insurance writer, will deliver the
annual Grafton, and many other noted underwrit-
ers will be there. Valuable essays on various in
surance topics will be read and discussed and
the whole general situation will be reviewed by
some of the ablest men in the profession.

should start Immediately. Potter,
however, was not ready, and the Cap

Potter procured the meal in Mary

THE election news continues very
meagre. AT the present writing We
are Of The opinion that Hoskins and
the whole Republican State ticket is
elected. Any one at all conyeTs ant
with New York politics is aware
that the last returns are always
favorable to the Republicans. beca use
the rural districts, which are the most
difficult to hear from, are strongly
Republican. AL precincts within
easy communicating distance, have
been reported. and only this rural vote
is rot III. Hosktns is the oily ore in
doubt, aud he is 455 ahead OF Potter.
Even if Potter is elected it is a gloIi-
