| WINTRY WEATHER-A cold snap began las
Friday evening, and on Saturday the thermom-
eter, in exposed situations, fell to degrees
| above zero. The cold in the Southern States
has been almost unprecedented At Jackson
vile, Florida, and Charleston, s. e., the mercu-
| ny fell to 81, and at Montgomery, Alabama, TO
| :. IL is feared that the orange groves have
| suffered, and early vegetables, which at some
Southern points We're well advanced, have been
destroyed The cold weather caused great dis
comfort in the South, where few convenences
exist for keeping warm in very cold weather.
There is also said to be much suffering among
the poor in the large cities. 1t is an i'll wind
that blows no good however, and n short crop
of early vegetables will probably increase the
consumption of canned goods.
The rain Tuesday night washed away all the
snow that fell in the morning and also broke up
the ice on many of the ponds, interfering with
the filling of ice houses. The ice gathered on
Monday was inches thick, abont seven inches
being solid ice and the rest frozen snow.

| THE HARTFORD INSURANCE COMPANY AND THE
CANNERs-The members of the Mutual Fire In
suracc Company, at their annual meeting, in
Bel Air, on Monday revoked the action of the
Executive Committee in ordering canning house
risks to he cancelled on the first of January,
1854. This action keeps the policies on canning
houses in force until the expiration of the sixty
days grace for renewal, or until the first Mon
day in March, 1884.
A resolution was also passed to insure canning
houses at such rates as are charged by other safe
| and conservative stock companies.
IL has been the practice of the company to
carry insurance for sixty days after the cXpira-
ton of the year, although the premium may not
have been paid in the interval. The courts,
| however, have decided that the insurance ceases
at the end of the term for which the premium
has been paid. A resolution was therefore
adopted declaring that the members of The com
pany are insured during the sixty days OF grace,
or until the first Monday in March.
Mcssrs VIM. Young, Geo. +. Silver, John
Moores, j. NJ. STREET. and Geo. A. Cairncs were
appointed committee to report 10 the next an
nua meeting such necessary amendments to the
constitution and bylaws as seem 10 be required.
One amendment proposed by Mr. Young, the
mover of the resolution, was the appointment OF
an agent to solicit insurance, revalue the prop
eriy insured by the company, &c. The work OF
this agent, il was stated, need not interfere with
the duties of the directors us at present per
formed, but that it would give new life and
vgor To the company.
BY the financial statement il will be seen that
the company holds its own, notwithstanding
the heavy losses incurred from the burning OF
canning houses The policies in force during
the year were e. more than in 1852, and the in.
creased risks, as compared with that year, were
SOL 80. The company began the year ISL
with cash balance of 81, OF 81 in hand. There
was collected during the year SIG 273. 10, making
IL cash total of $.3 800. IS. The fire losses were
81, SSS44; expenses II, 90G0i, leaving balance
in the treasury Jan. LIST 1884, So, 53O65 Against
this are adjusted claims for Sl,2I5; unadjusted
claims So, 500. The latter includes claim for
81, 100 which was rejected by the directors and
