THE AGRICULTURAL INSURANCE COMPANY.
The thousands in Virginia and North Caro-
lima who hold the policies Of the A"ricutu-
raj Insurance Company OF Watertown. n.
Y, will be gratiied at the fine exhibit made
by the company in the annual statement we
publish to-day. The Chronicle, leading
insurance journal OF New York, says OF
this company:
:" rhc pecuflarIry Uf thi, company is that
its business Is by the act Of Incorporation
confined TO the insurance OF farmers
dwellings, private residences. barns, and
out-buildings and their contents and hence
it avoids the perils OF heavy loss incident TO
general fire underwriting. The risks are
seyeraIIy small, and distributed widely over
a large extent OF country, so that 1t is hardly
possible 10 conceive Of connagration, or a
series OF ConfagratioLs so sweeping and
destructive in character as to involve the
Agricultural in loss that would cripple or
seriously inlure if. What is in this resnect
the safeguard OF the stockholders capital is
also the guarantee Of the polcyholders' in
demnitv. That this guarantee is highly va
| lued, and by large number Of people, may
| be reasonably inferred from the fact that the
company is now issuing an average Of 45,-
600 policies year. Under excellent man
agement-earning and paying good diyi-
dends 10 lis owners, running light risks.
adjusting its losses fairly and paying them
| honorably and promptIy-tbe Agricultural
may look back upon twenty-seven-years'
record with pride and satisfaction, and for
ward TO the years that are TO come with Il
wel-grounded hope Of continuing growth
and increasing prosperity"

Improved Stock.

During the absence of Judge "A. j. Davis
in the East, he has interested himself largely
in buying thoroughbred horned stock designed
to aid in improving the breed of horned stock
in this territory. His intention is to ship at
least two car loads of cattle as early as posi-
BILE of the best varieties that can be purchased
in the Eastern markets. Judge Davis very
correctly maintains that it is no more difficult
TO raise good beef in this territory by the in
PRODUCTION of Al cattle han to raise scrub stock
and the advantage TO individual dealers and
to the reputation Of the territory as q cattle
growing country cannot we'll be overestimated
If all prominent cattle men of Montana
would initiate the example of Mr.. Davis,
Montana cattle would always command a
higher price in the Eastern markets than the
ordinary breeds of other sections.
The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1880-04-06

Yesterday, for the first time, registered mail
packages from Butte for the east, west and
south were sent direct to their destination.
Heretofore it has been customary to send all
registered letters to Helena before they could
be sent out of the Territory, and in making
up the post-ofice statements the Helena
papers were very carefulthat no credit should
be given to Butte for the very large proportion
OF money packages received from this city.
Under the department order which went into
effect yesterday, however, the valuable mail
will not have to take that roundabout course,
and the service will be materially benefited
thereby, as a saving in time of two days will
be effected. The brass locks necessary for
the secure fastening Of the mail sacks arrived
several days ago, and" yesterday morning
Postmaster Smith had the satisfaction of send
ing the registered mail direct to its destina.
ton.

Sorenade.

On Wednesday night a crowd of several
young gentlemen, after a months persistent
practice on "Come where my love lies dream
ing" and Lady awake" undertook to sere-
made one of the bellies OF this metropolitan
burg. Some other young gentlemen, who
possessed no talent for the divine art, but who
were equally enamoured of the young lady's
personal attractions, resolved to mar the sue
cess of the nocturnal entertainment, and
becoming aware of the exact time when the
first party would begin the disturbance, pre-
ceded them to the house of the fair victim
and concealed themselves behind a wood pile
The serenaders arrived, and after tuning his
voice like a violist tunes his fiddle, the leader
boldly broke forth into melodious song. Al
the conclusion of the first verse he said
"Chorus, boys" whereupon the crowd behind
| the lumber emitted a series of the most un'
earthly groans of anguish, and the serenaders
no ror struck with the nature of their recep
ton, which they supposed came from the in
terror of the house, broke for their severa
| places of abode on a dead run.

Two More Dead Beats Jump the Town.

Mr.. W. J. Rute, late proprietor of the Ban
ner Restaurant, a few days ago shook the
dust, mud and snow of the Silver City from
his heels, and without even saying a farewell
word to his numerous creditors, jumped the
country for parts remote. This thing is be-
coming altogethertoo monotonous and our
business men should, If possible, concert some
measures to see that all absconders are sent
to Deer Lodge to keep company with DR.. r.
Gel, of recent notoriety.
About the same time that Mr.. Rute sold
out, pocketed the money and %decamped, an
other man named Frank Hudson, we'll known
hereabouts by reason of the large amount OF
money that he owes, also concluded that a
change of climate would not be amiss, and is
now in some country where creditors cease
from troubling and the wicked are at rest
Rute and Hudson are a bad lot, and it i
really to be deplored that they could not be
arrested and made to serve a term in Jail.
