Dr. -Smollett was one of the beet judges of human nature that ever lived. And according to him every village has its politician, itslool, and its beauty. But our villages of the new . eivilization have a great many more dit tmguished charactere. We have the " representative min,' the "most popu- lar min," the "best dressed, wain," and. many other remarkable classes of men. A village is a curious place to live in.

DEAR SIR: A. few brief comments, by way of explanation, will, ttrust, not be refused a place in your next issue, since You have, in an extended editorial, call - 'd attention to my former communica- ! ion, drawing your own conclusions as o my object in replying to !your fol -mer remarks on the subject of "Local Mutual Insurance Conipanies," and assigning purely merceeary motives, 'because, for- sooth, 1 iepresent a company doing a large business in the County of Heron. • I hold, sir, that, though prompted in my actin by a due regard for my own saccess—and who. is not more or less .-- selfish ?—i am uot, from the fact of hay- ing a persona: interest, in a business way, prevented from having a kindly interest in the prosperity of the farmers Of, the County where 1 have taken up mtr resi- dence. I depot object to the formation of a County company, and. am. prepared to enter into an honorable competition with such au institution; but, I posi- tively assert that it is a mistaken kind- ness to place the matter before the peo- ple iu the one-sided light of your first _ 0 article. You cite the success of the " Wa- terloo and Smith- Dumfries " as an as his own." • A village life is not gener- , established. precedent of the superi- ally a pleasant life. You are in the ority of the "Local Mutual '' plan, midst. of a crowd, and yet lack angst of but, you forget that all such corn the comforts that civilization affords in paanes are liable, at any moment, to towns and cities. The "representative become heavily -embarrassed by the oc- wan," or the "popular nit," who often currence of a general conflagration. euch are very pigheaded men, may say or do as the Ottawa Valley fire of 1870, by the most egregious things, and yet, which the greater portion of seven town - forthwith, the villagers as e body up- ships. was laid waste in a few hours. Had a local company, such as you pre- scribe for the Huron farmers, held the risks -of that vicinity, at that time, it is plainly evident that the company's policies Would have been perfectly worthless when that fine eountry was left a barren waste, and hundreds of wealthy farmers,' of a day before t penniless, and, therefore, unable to assist each other. The Chicago fire furnishes inother il- lustration of the fallacy of small local companies being a lasting beneiit to any community, since it is a well.known fact that the Chicago compaeies—mutual and etocke—almost without exception, be- came hopeless wrecks, leaving hundreds of victims of misplaced confidence, with worthless policies, while those who had insured with companies dome an ex- ' tensive and safe business, throughout the length and breadth of the laud, re- ceived payment in full ot their claims, The Agricultural Mutual paid in cash, drawn from their reserve fund, the Ottawa Valley losses, without calling in a dollar, by a special assessment on pre- mium notesewhile other companies, less economical m management, having no cash reserve, were obliged to call in all, or nearly all, of the unpaid- portion of their premium notes, in order to meet claims. You endeavor, sir,. to fortify your .position by the remark that we have, you believe, "at the present time. a reserve fund of about $3t,000," &c., . and, therefore, collect very much more than is returned. I can show you, sir, that in this you are also in error. Our reserve fund, on Feb. 17, 1873, athount- ed, to $5,442 06 (see report) which is de- posited in Molson's Bank, at the mem- bers' credit. • I shall proceed to .show, by positive facts, the great advantage of . having 14 ' reserve fund, to the farmers patronizing our company. On Dec. 31, 1869, the " Aaricultural " had a reserve fund of $35,000, invested in the bank at the members' credit.
