THE INSURANCE QUESTION.

HARroRD Couxrr, Nh, Dec. Il, lss3.
Editor. CaioH:-Your correspondent, I'll, ;" in
his communication in your last issue. on the sub
ect Of insurance hits the nail on the head exactly
IL Is a. much accidental that the Hartford compa-
ny lost heavily this year on canneries as that
other companies doing \ heavy business the
same line Of property lost nothing or very lightly :
aud Il would be as reasonable for those companies
who htve lost nothing To insure eanneTies at very
low rates IL u for the Hartford 20 refuse 20 in
sure them at any price. /, however. do not de.
dsce the conclusion from the action of the Hartford
Company that Il will decline 90 insure canneries,
bat that the directors desire that matter 60 be in
proper shape for any action that the members may
take al their annual meeting in January next.
"ils remarks. relative 20 the emissaries Of for
<kSstoek companies, are as applicable 20 this
county as 20 yours, and as these gentlemen could
not occupy the position they do Il they were not
men Of sense, the conclusion Is irresistable that
their misrepresentation proceed not from ignor.
anes but from knavcry.
know bat very little about the baltimore Coun.
~ Company. but don't believe that IL ever re.
sorted 10 any mean techticaity 10 avoid paying
a bss, such as the non.oecupancy Of q tenant
hoase for one night pending the arrival Of . new
tesant after the departure Of an old one; or an
uninteniionai misstatement 20 the number Of
acres In farm. l suppose, according to the
spirit of that, IL farmer had the buildings on his
farm insured and would afterwards sell portion
ofthe land. or give portion Of Il away for char
liable other purpose. as, for instance. school
hosse or church. that that would void his policy.
think that kind Of insurance would not DO safe
except for FIRST class lawyers or insurance experts
Others had better let II alone.
