Nightly Annoyance.
RlcuxoND, Va, July 10, 1880

RICHMOND, VA, july H. looj.
To The Editor ofHe Dispatch:
Dear Sir.-Alow me TO call the attention
of the railroad authorities through, your
paper 10 the very great annoyance that IS
being nightly suffered during this hot wea-
ther bv the residents OF Grace and Frank
lin streets in the vicinity of Belyidere street.
From five % a dozen trains on the Rich
m0ud. Fredericksburg and Potomac rall-
road pass there nearly every night al all
hours. and since the weather has been so
hot as 10 make the leaving Of windows
open "a necessity, the engineers seem % try
10 see how much noise they can make with
their engines and bells. In fact. II Is rare
that one can get an hours continuous sleep,
which is bad enough on healthy people :
but when sick children and delicate per-
sons are brought in the question the mat
ter is still more serious. We know that
the road-bed Is 10 be removed next year,
but some o. US may be dead before that
time XX.

We wish 20 explain to our patrons and
the public generally that the Virginia Blu-
tual Livestock Insurance Company guar
antecs not 10 make but four assessments
per year: they are made quarterly March
30th, June 30th, September 3Oth, and De
cember 30th Of each year. ANY party who
insures March %, 1899, for one year IS as
sessed his proportion for the quarter end
inc March 3Oth. though be has been in
only one day: but mark this, his policy
expires March ~. 1890, one day before
the final quarterly assessment, On this
quarter. therefore, the company makes no
assessment. thereby standing by its guar
antee of only four assessments per year
The reason for this is obvious. Unprinci-
plod men could put the company to ex-
pense and trouble 10 collect assessment
due after the expiration Of their policies.
