Fire Insurancem
the ..Etna Insurance Company, of Hartford,
which will be found in another column This suc-
aessful institution was incorporated by the Legislature
of Connecticut in 1819, with a perpitual charter. Its
oapitnl is !j*500 000, and its accumulations exceed
>i''UO,000 more, making its entire assets over .$1,300,-
OtK.*. invested as detailed in the statement referred to.
These results indicate that during the period of near
ly forty years since its organization, (without a single
change of its chief officer,) its business has been con
ducted with judgment and prudence. It has been
thus far successlul in an eminent degree, discharging,
as we are informed, all its obligations by the payment
of about ten million dollars for losses^^ without asking a
Jay’s delay in any instance. It has liad but little lit
igation, notwithstanding the immense number of tians-
actions made. In order to attain as much certainty as
possible in such a business as insurance, it has been
the practice of the Company, for several years, at
great labor, carefully to classify and arrange their
ri?ks into about fifty distinct classes, so as to ascertain
the amount insured on each class, the amount of
premiums received thereon, and the amount of
losses upon each. This classification, extending
over a long period, and covering property to a very
large amount, furnishes reliable data, and pre
sents a sound, substantial basis of actual experience,
upon which to conduct its business. Insurance is not
a matter of luck or chance, as many suppose; its ha-
••irds are ascertainable, and its principles are capable
of being reduced to a system, the practical working
and results of which are as certain as that of any other
business. The -Etna Company, by adhering rigidly
to its system, and placing its business upon a healthy
basis, has obtained the confidence of the community
t i an extent surpassed by no other Company in the U.
States, and has increased its business and its income
from year to year with a steaily growth. One great
source of its security is the witie distribution of its
risks—a policy which it pursues with great strictness
—limiting the amount to be covered in each locality.
By this course it has passed, with comparative impu
nity, through some of the most sweeping and destruc
tive fires, which have swallowed up other companies
less cautious in their business. It is a system like
this, based upon experience, which gives stability and
soundness to a company, and to the assured confidence
and security.—Baltimore Patriot.

INTENDING to locate permanently in Fayetteville,
hopes to make it the interest of all who need the
services of a Dentist to give him the care of their
Teeth. Having had eight years’ experience, and being
acquainted with the work of the best Dentists North
or South, he pledges himself to give all operations en
trusted to his hands that careful thorough work and
complete finish, that it cannot be bettered by any Den
tist in the United States.
Persons having teeth that are considered hopeless,
and past redemption, will do well to give him call
before having them extracted, as thousands of teeth
are sacrificed that the requisite knowledge and skill
would save and make useful.
Please give him a trial, and if be does not redeem
his pledge will forfeit his wurk.
