In our own 'case, We have saved a great deal more. For the last twelve years an in- surance for $1,000 in our Company has i only cost about 40 cents a yettrovhich has covered all losses and expenses. I I • must confess. however, that ,we have 11:1011 ONPOOttOt 1 There y fortunate . * been exceeding * considerable trouble connected. with starting a local company, but, if once . is FRIDLY, MAX 30. 1873. fairly started, it will 80Q13 retriirerate its projectors and members for, all their trouble."

He pledged himself , to support the Government, and he has fulfilled his pledges. But in -do- • d its infancy, and improvements and. buildings were of omall value, fire insurance was a trifling item in the expenditure of the farmer. Indeed, a large majority deemed such pre- cautionary measuressagainst loss by fire almost unnecessary. Now, however, that the conntry haO be- . come well cleared up; that well cultivated fields replace the forest and maash, and that handsome dwelling -houses and substantial out- buildings oecopy the place of the log shanty qt. ad straw -thatched 'Nan, a new order of things has come into existence. Fermers who fornierly never thought of insuring their property, uo* find, it necessary to - protect themselves agaillSt 8 -widen -and ruinous loss, in case of fii..e, by obtaining a certain amount of in- surance neon their property. A. very large amount of money i3 con- sequently expended every year by the farming connnunity in insur- ance- This being the case, it is, of coursetheir interest to ascertain how this protection canbe most cheaply and afficiently obtained. As we have already, said, a consider- able amount of inoney.is annually expended for the insurance of farm property. That this money is judi- cioady expended, there is no doubt. No prudent farmer should runthe tisk of leaving , his property unin- sured. No matter how careful he may be, he knows not the 'day nor the hour when he may be stibjected to heavy loss from fire. Money ex- pended in insurance is money welt . and prAtaSly invested. Bat the farmer in making this investment should endeavor to do it to the best advantage. The money Dow ex- pended by the farmers of Huron for insurance is all paid to foreign com- panies. From these companies ethey, of course, get the protection they desire, but they participate in none of the iirofilti, By forming local companies among thernsel ves, they would obtain the required pro- tection, and, at the satne time, have the benefit ot the profits, which, in the case of foreign, conepanies, goes to feeing officers and amassing divi; dends. It is generally considered that farm property is very -safe prop- erty to insure, that the'risk in insur- ing each is comparatively trifling, and consequently the insarance -is profitable to the company. Several local CO GI pudes have al- ready beentstarted in thig Province, and nearly all of them are working satisfactorily. The °entity of Perth has its insnrance company ; the County of Middlesec has its insur- company, and the County of Water- loo and, others have insurance com- panies. Why should not the °Mil- ty of Huron else -have its local tire insarence company 7 If a company cannot be formed embraciog the,en- tire County, why should not a num- ber of neighboring townships join and establish one, and thus keep the money whieh is annually paid to the agents of foreign companies -among themselves, when they can do -s, with comparatively , little '1 troub e, equal security and at a less cost. We have before us the last annual report of the North Dumfries and South Wat- erloo Company, a purely local com- pany conducted on the mutual sys- tem. From this- report we learn that an assessment of 11 per ceut. .on the prenaium notes in force, or less than sevee cents on each hun- dred dollars insured, paid all liabil- ities incurred by the Company for losses and working expenses for the past two years, and besides left a small balance in favor of the Com- pany. In 1869 the amount insured in this Company was $907,777, and in 1873 the amount is $1,423,376, thus showing an increase in five years of $515,599.- This is certainly a yery. creditable exhibit, especially when we remember that no agents , . have been employed by. the Company and that no special effort has been made to increase it business.

Thedeceased has been for so long a time a resident pf Goderich, and was eo well and favor- ably known, that death is worthy of more than a mere passing notice.

All things, good or bad, must come to an end. The first cession of the Second Parliament of Canada has been no- ex- ception, and has now vir4telly come to a close. Although the prorogation has not exactly taken place, but an adjourn - i'nent instead till A,ugust, the session, so far as legislatiop is concerned has closed. That much good to the country has been accomplished by the legislation of the late session, many will be ready to dis- pute. But that a vast amount of legisla- tion has been enacted, and precidents set which must have a prejudice' effect on the interests of the country. a very large majority of the people of Ontasio must admit.
