iiirt'rs at greatly reduced cash prices, and will be 1 other companies less cautious in their business
ch.inge 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 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 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, for several years, at
great labor, carefully to classify and arrange their
risks into about fifty distinct classes, so as to ascertain
i the amount insured on each class, the amount of pre
miums received thereon, and the amount of losses up
on each. This classitication, extending over a long
period,and covering property to a very large amount,fur
nishes reliable data, and presents a sound, subst.'intial
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
its principles capable of being reduced to a system, the
practical working and results of which are as certain
as tlTat of any other business. The ..Etna Company,
by adhering rigidly to its system, and placing its busi
ness upon a healthy basis, 1ms 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
distributiou of its risks—a pulicy 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 tires, which have swallowed up

Number 3 is a new and revised edition of the North
Carolina Reader, first publishel in 1851. Numbers 1
and 2 just issued, complete the series, which is, a:; a
whole, cheaper than any other series of Readers in the
United States, and as complete.
The Editor (Prof. Hubbard) in his Preface to Num
ber 1 deems it proper to alluiie to a few of the peculiar
advantages aimed at by the Superintendent of Common
Schools while making ettorts to have this work com
pleted. Th«ise are,
1, The encouriiyennnt of a feeliny of self-dependence,
and the en'.istmeiit of popular sentiment in behalf of
the State and its institutions. It was not thought im
portant, huwevtr, to have more than one number of
the Readers of merely a local interest.
2, To reute-hj tin' en! ei-eryichere complained of in com
mon school!', of a jierpetuiil change in text books; an ex
pensive habit, and one which injures the Schools by
preventing the children from being classified. A se
ries ot hom« Readers, it was aU[iposed, would be cer
tainly used, and this gre;it evil thus avoided.
3, Economy, the poj)ular system of Readers being
too long and being male so often merely to add to
the profits of authors and publishers.
This series i» to consist of fewer numbers than
those genvrally used, and it is believed that these
numbers are sufficient, while if the system were uni
versally used iu the State, the sum saved to parent®
and children would amount to seveial thousand dollars
annually.
4 To i>iil in the kanns of chddren lenrnin;/ to read com
positions sufficiently familiar but not of the churacter called
chddish compositions, containii>g, in lessons easy euough
for all ages, co; rect specimens of style, interesting in
matter, and inculcating proper morals, and religious
iustruction.
Ibe prices are, for No. 1, 25 cents; No. 2, 37^ cents
