Number 3 is a new and revised edition of the North
Carolina Reader, first published in 1851. Numbers 1
ami 2 just issued, complete the series, which is, as a
whole, cheaper than auy other series of Readers iu the
United States, and as complete.
The Editor (Prof. Hubbard) iu his Preface to Num
ber 1 lieeins it proper to allude to a few of the peculiar
advantages aimed at by the Superintendent of Common
Schools while making efforts to have this work com-
pleteil. These are,
1. The encouragement «/ a feelitig of telf-dependence,
and the enlistment of popular sentiment in behalf of
the State and its institutions. It was not thought im
portant, however, to have more than one number of
the Readers of merely a local interest.
'1, To reinedi/ the evil everywhere complained of in com
mon tchov's, of a jieryetual change in teit books; an ex
pensive habit, and one which injures the Schools by
preventing the children from being classified. A se
ries of homu Readers, it was supposed, would be cer
tainly used, and this great evil thus avoided.

Insurance.
WE refer our readers to the annual statement of
the ,Ktna Insurance Company, of Hartford,
which will be found in anoiher column. This success
ful institution was incorporated by the Legislature of
Connecticut in 18P.*, with a perpetual charter. Its
capital is ^500,Ut>0, and its accumulations exceed
; ■'jit'UO.HOO more, making its entire assets ever $300,-
I 000, invested as detailed in the statement referred to.
I These results indicate that during the period of nearly
1 fort}- years since its organization, (without a single
change of its chief officer,) its business has been con
ducted with juilgment and prudence. It has been
thus far successful 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
day's delay in any instance. It has had but little lit
igation, notwithstanding the immense numberoftrans-
actions made. In order to attain as much certainty as
1 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
risks into about fifty distinct classes, so as to ascertain
the amount insured on each class, the amount of pre
miums received thereon, anil the amount of losses up
on each. This classiticatiou, extending over a long
period,and covering property to a very large amount,fur
nishes reliable data, and presents 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 hazards are ascertainable, and
TIIE NORTH (’AROLINA STATIST AND
MAGAZINE OF USEFUL INF0RM.\TI0X.
^■IHE undersigned proposes to Publish in the City
i of Raleigh, a semi-annual JoURN.AL, of the above
title, devoted exclusively to the dissemination of 3T.V
TISTICAL INFORMATION.
The want of such a Journal is felt by every intelli
gent citizen, who desires to V>ecome at all acquainted
with the resources of the State, our present condition,
future prospects, ^c., and by none so much as by ou:-
Legislators.
That we have no regular system of statistics, cannv't
be attributed to any want of material There are
large amounts of valuable and interesting inforin;iti"ii
scattered through our Lfgislative aud E.xecutive Do. u
ments and Records, which, in their present situation,
for all practical purposes, might as well be iu the Ciii-
nese language. Besides what our Legislative archi'es
contain, our newspapers often publish valuable statis
tical icformation, which is either lost, or if preserved
by a very few, is so inconvenient to find when wanted,
that the facts are soon forgotten. The same nri^’ b.,-
said of the Reports and Statements fri m time to lime
made by our incorporated companies, and others en
gaged iu Manufactures, Mines, ('ommerce, &c.
To collect these various items of inforni ition, and
give them to the public in a shape easy of reference
and for perpetual preservation, as well as to gather
from all available resources, everythiug bearitig di
rectly or indirectly on our wealth, prosperity and in
dustry, is the design of the JOURN.\L now oll'ored for
public patronage.
So far as the plan for conducting the same has been
matured, the pages of the ST.\TIS1' will be devoted
to the arrangement of such tables relating to our
POPULATION, AGRICULTURE, COMMERCE, EDU
CATION, PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS, M.^NUKAt’-
TURES, FISHERIES, .MINES, and Social Statistic.-
generally, as will present their condition, and our pro
gress in each.
It is also designed to contain the4leports
of the Public Treasurer, Comniissiouer.-> of tlie Sinking
Fund, Superintendent of Common Schools, ami all
