WELL WORTH READING.

MORE LIGHT.n-A rational treatise on Bi5E-
cal sx9jects
Under this head, Rabbi L. Weiss, Of Column
bus, Ga, hassent forth little volume into the
world. Its pages contain answers to the most
striking and important questions Of Judaism
and Christianity. It's purpose i, - the author
himself says, in his introduction " to inform
the intelligent Christian Of tho position Of Jews
in relation to Jesus Of Nazareth, his rejection,
his crucifxion, the conversion theory, hope in
the Messiah, belief in devil and hell, etc" The
answers are necessarily brief, g within forty
three pages, the author touches upon not only
the subjects mentioned above, but gives
chapter each to the questions, "What shall
do to be saved, 30 Does God visit the sims Of
parents upon their children?n "Does scrip
ture fortell Imael's condition "a ii Is and ever
win be }" I'D which is the true religion?n
The author shows . thorough and compre-
bensive acquaintance with both the Old and
New Testaments, and brings the authors them
selves Of the Christian gospels to disprove
many Of the assertions made by their followers
The book is valuable for its many references
upon the sll-intsresting topics enumsrated,
and for tho numerous suggestions which can
not fail to rise in the mind Of the earnest
reader. The style is tense, not single word
is wasted, yet lucid enough for any reader.
The Bloch Publishing and Printing Co,
Cincinnati, publish the book and have put
upon it the nominal price Of fifty cents.

RICHMOND MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO

RICHMOND MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO.
Mention Of the organization of the Rich
mond Mutual Fire Insurance CO." has been
made in some Of the daily papers, and as much
interest has been manifested in il, we have
inquired into the leading features of this COM
pany, 50 that we might inform our readers re-
gardiDg it, and find that, instead of taking
pledges Of individual policy holders, that, if
necessary to pay losses, they would agree to
pay several times the amount Of their pre-
miums, the Company was formed by stock
holders, the amount Of dividend on the stock
being limited by the charter and the insurers
pay the usual premium. which is the limit Of
their liability, but they participate in the
profits of the Company, and as Richmond has
always been profitable field for fire insurance,
even before the recent increase Of insurance
rates, it is probable that the policy holders
will receive large dividends.

Island:
GENTLEMEN while receive with much
satisfaction your address, replete with express
Gons of affection and esteem, rejoice in the
opportunity Of assuring you that shall always
retain gratful remembrance of the cordial
welcome experienced in my visit to Newport,
from all classes Of citizens. The reflection on
the days of difficulty and danger which are
past Is rendered more sweet from conscious
ness that they are succeeded by days Of uncom-
mon prosperity and security.
If we have wisdom to make the best use of
the advantage with which we are now favored,
we cannot fail. under the just administration
of good government to become great and
happy people.
The citizens of the United States of America
have right to applaud themselves for having

liberal policy policy worthy of imitation.
All possess alike liberty of conscience and i'm
munities of citizenship. It is now no more
that liberation is spoken Of as if it was by the
indulgence of one class of people that another
enjoyed the exercise Of their inherent natural
rights. For happily the government of the
United States, which gives to bigotry no san
ction, to persecution no assistance, requires
only that they who live under its protection
should demean themselves as good citizens,
in giving it, on all occasions, their efectual
support.
1t would be so inconsistent with the frank
ness Of my character not to avow that I am
pleased with your favorable opinion Of my ad-
ministration and ferveDt wishes for my felicity
May the children Of the stock Of Abraham who
dwell in this land continue to merit and enjoy
the good will Of the other inhabitants-w while
every one shallsit in safety under his own
vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to
make him afraid
May the father of all Mercies scatter light
and not darkness in our paths, and make us
all in our several vacations useful here and,
in His own due time and way, everlastingly
happy.
