Great Bridre Foupaation..

The method of constructing the
foundations of the great drawbridge
over the Thames at New London
is of exceptional interest. Timber
curbs were constructed, which were
sunk eighty feet into the bed of the
river, the bottom of which was soft
mud for this depth. The mud inside
the crib was excavated, and the piles
driven into the solid ground then OBJ
tanned. The heads of these piles were
then bound together with concrete, on
which the masonry of the pier was
finally erected. New York Teleg=asa-

To Farmers

The Agricultural Insurance Company,
OF Watertown, New York. was organized
and commenced business in March, 1853,
with charter confining its risks entire
ly to farm property. The charter has
been amended so as to include private
residences in cities and villages, and
other property not more hazardous
The officers of the Company have never
allowed it to be diverted from this poll
cy. Many ofits contemporaries of twen-
ty years ago, have been swept away by
the devastating fires in our large cities,
while, this Company by its system OF
isolation from business risks, has steadi-
" pursued its prosperous course, win
ming its way to popularity and strength,
until it stands second to no Company
for permanence and safety. 1t, there
fore, confidentally appeals for patron
age to the farmer. whose occupation ex-
empts him from business hazards; to
those who have retired from business
and its uncertainties, and desire securi-
ty for their lifetime accumulation; and
to the business man who wishes to ex-
Ohhpb hAS AAOulc AEOui lne uncertainties
of traffic-offering each of them an in
surance in harmony with his Desires
Prudent men often deed their homes to
their wives to preserve them from busi-
ness calamity; legislatures pass exemp-
tion laws, and Congress homestead bills
to secure homes; and the Agricultural
Insurance Company was organized for
their future protection from a calamity
that no law or human foresight can
guard against A Company doing a
general business may be a protection
under ordinary circumstances; still it
lacks that element of security and GER
tainty offered by Company doing only
an isolated residence business. This
Company is now admitted to be the
strongest Company in the World, in its
speciality, and its history of over thirty
years is sufficient guarantee of the pro-
lection afforded by its policies.

that the Republicans stayed away
