 new institution for this city will soon be in operation at 2O3 Chapel street, the large, roomy store few doors below the Second National Bank. From gentlemen interested we gather the following: The United States Land and Emigrant Company is the name of the in- stitution. Various gentlemen of this city and New York and other cities are connected with the enterprise, and they have prospect of capital of a million of dollars and will have agents in this country and Europe. MT. Ben jamin Moves has been invited to go to Europe to establish their foreign agencies. They have already agents in Scotland. One object of the company is, as the name implies, to become 8 center for receiving and distributing emigrants from Ireland, Sweden, France, Germany and other countries to any point of settlement in this country and also to secure land where 1t may be necessary for emigrants and attend to all the details. Another object is to build water works, public or private, docks, etc., in this and other States, having in connection with it competent board of civil engineers The office in this city will be under the manage ment of Mir. Moves. They have under con- sideration the plans and specifications for con- structing dock in Nova Scotia at cost of S25O, 900. The office furniture has already arrived and it is intended to open the office the middle of this week. The business will in- clude incidentally filling any orders for help from foreign countries for domestic purposes, which will be done through a Boston house. The prospects of the company are reported to be very good for bringing business to this city in a new line of operations. The view is held that everywhere the signs of revival of busi- ness are most cheering and indicative of 8 wholesome return to something like stirring \ times.
 Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co. ! The thirty-fourth annual statement of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company presents some interesting facts in support of
 the prosperity of this great company during | the past year. Our great life insurance con- panies seem to have completely driven foreign companies from the home field. This is owing partly, no doubt, to the systematic ex- posture of all their affairs in the annual state- ments of our home companies, made in con- spicuous and showy advertisements in the pa pers of the county. It is one of the pecu- Iiarities of the Connecticut Mutual that it's full | line of insurance was kept up through all the as ''hard times,' in insurance as in other busi- ness. The comparison of the past two years | shows the following result:
