[T E refer our readers to the annual sratenien* of the *Etna Insurance rompuny, of Hartford, which will be found in another column. This suc- oessful institution was incorporated by the Legislature of Connecticut in 1819, with a perpttual charter. Its capital is $500,000, and its accumulations excoeil $>00,000 more, making its entire assets ove.' 0(.K>, invested as detailed in the statement ri.'ferred to. These result.** 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, discharginsr, as we are informed, all its obligations by the payment of about ten v^llion .dollar* for losses, without asking a day’s delay in any instance. It has had but little lit igution, notwithstanding the immense number of trans actions made. In order to attain as much certainty as possible in such a business as insun.nce, 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 zards 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 .ttna Company, by adhering rigidly to its system, anii placing its business upon a healthy basis, has obtained the confidence of the-community to 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 steady grjwth. One great source of its security is the wide 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, tnrough 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. PINE LAND FOR SALE.
