Fire Insurance.
® ®TE refer our readers to the annual statement of
ww the ^Etna Insurance Company, of Hartford,
which will be found in another column. This success
ful institution was incorporated by the Legislature of
Connecticut in 181!*, with a perpetual charter. Its
capital is !»:500,000, and its accumulations exceed
^800,000 more, making its entire assets ever ^^iOO,-
000, invested as detailed in the .statement referred to
These results indicate that during the period of nearly
forty years since its ori;anization, (without a single
change of its chief officer,) its business has been con
ducted with judgtnent 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
ilay’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 rertmnti/ 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
risks into about fifty distinct classes, so as to ascertain
the amount insured on each class, the amount of pre
miums received thereon, and the amount of losses up
on each. This classification, 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 man}- suppose; its hazards are ascertainable, and
its principles capable of being reduced to a system, the
practical working and results of which are as certain
as that of any other business. The ,Ktna Company,
by adhering rigidly to its system, and placing its busi
ness upon a health}’basis, has obtained the confidence
of the community to an extent surpassed by no other
Company in the U. States, and has increased its busi
ness and its income from year to year with a steady
growth. One great source of its security is the wide
d’stributiou of its risks—a pelicy which it pursues
with great strictness—limiting the amount to be cov
ered in each locality. By this course it has passed,
with comparative impunity, through some of the most
sweeping and destructive 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 as
sured confidence and security.—Iijl(imon Pulriot.

Number 3 is a new and revised edition of the North i
Carolina Reader, hrst j>ublished in IK51. Numbers 1 i
aud 2 just issued, c.»mplete the series, which is, as a j
whole, cheaper than any other series of lie.iders in the ^
United States, and as complete. 1
The Editor (Prof. Hubbard) in his Preface to Num
ber I deems it pioper to allude to a tew of the peculiar
advantages aimed at f>3’ the Superintendent of Common
Schools while making etfbrts to have this work com
pleted. These are,
1, The i ncourn^eiin'nl «/ « leelihy >/ yilj'-dfymh nee,
and the eulistnieut of popular sentiment in behalf of
the S;ate and its institutions. It was not thought im
portant, however, to have more than one number of
the Readers of merely a local interest.
2 To reinciiij the erd eren/where cunijditined of in com
mon xr/ioolx. of a per^Ktuul chmiye in text hooks; an ex
pensive habit, and one which injures the Schools by
preventing the children from being classified, A se
ries of home Readers, it was supposed, would f>e cer
tainly used, and this great evil thus avoided.
3, h’conomi/, tfie i>opular system of Readers being
too long and being made so often merely to add to
the profits of authors and pubiisliers.
This series is to consist of fewer numbers than
those generally used, and it. is believed that these
numbers are suflicieut, while if the system were uni-
versiJly used in the State, the sum saved to parentii
and children would amount to seveial thousand dollars
annually.
4, 'J’o put in thi' kandx of children learuinj to rend com- \
pn.niiona .^ujHaenllf/ fumiliar hut not o ' the character called
childish compositions, containing, in lessons easy enough
for all ages, correct specimens of style, interesting in
matter, and inculcating proper morals, and religious
instruction.
The prices are, for No. 1, 25 cents; No. 2, 37J cents
and No. 3, 75 cents. .A liberal deduction from these
prices to .Merchants and School Teachers.
