! F'ire Insurance.
WE refer our readers to the annual statement of
the .^Btna Insurance Company, of Hartford,
j which will be found in another column. This suc-
I cessful institution was incorporated by the Legislature
! of Connecticut in 1819. with a perpetual charter. Its
j capital is $500,000, and its accumulations exceed
I $800,000 more, making its entire assets over .'*>1,;{()(),-
I 000, 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 successful in an eminent degree, discharging,
as we are informed, all its obligations by the pa\’ment
of about ten tnillion dollars for losses, without asking a
day’s delay in any instance. It has had but little lit
igation, notwithstanding the immense number of trans
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, lor several yeais, at
great labor, carefully to classify and arrange their
risks into about fifty distinct classes, so as to ascertain
the amcaut insured on each class, the amount of
premiums received thereon, and the "mount 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 .Etna Company, by adhering rigidly
to its system, and 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 j-ear with a steady growth. One great
source of its security is the wide distribution of its
risks—a policy which it pursues with greit 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
Kounduess to a company, and to the assured confidence
and security.—Baltimore Patriot.
