This meeting'is stiU going on, and we hear that it is likely to continue throughout the week. "Particnl?'rirt?e ladies." Last week - wo spoke of the card of our young friend, HUGH B.

We hear that on Sunday afternoon last, oar''much' esteemed friends, Mr. and Mrs. JNO: H. HOLLINGSWORTH, with their little boy, a child of three or four years, met with an extremely narrow es cape from imminent peril. Driving to caU.on their neighbor, Mrs. JAMES HILL, the goree took fright soon after they had entered her gate, and dashed aside into a field. Mr. H. endeavored to curb him, but immediately both reins snapped en tirely asunder, after which the animal turned and tore furiousiy through the gate again, dashing the buggy violeutly against -the- trunk of a huge oak. Its three occupants were first thrown out, and then the buggy fell with-its top upon them. But, strange to say, all three es caped without the slightest injury. And this is a horse .which ladies and young girls have been driving for years, a horse thought to be "the most amiable and.trust worthy of all horses, .

Tho whole community deeply sympathize with the bereaved parents. "Howard." Again, this week, "HOWARD" gives valuable statistics concerning the Free School appropriations for the last two or three years, and asks probing questions concerning the dsbursemen tof the money. "HOWARD" is decidedly on the right track, and the public should feel beliolden to him for his effort in behalf of right and justice. He is a gentleman of means, and bas no pci'sonal interost whatever in the disposition of the Free School funds. " Murder Will Ont." Most of our readers will remember thc murder of our fellow-citizen, Price, at Quaker Springs, near Augusta, in De cember of 1867.

Insurance at Storjjk Rates', being frogi 20 to 30 Per Cent, less than the Rates charged by Mutual Companies. 2d. Each Policy-holder is regarded as a Stockholder to the extent of one Annual Premium on his Policy, and will share in the Profits of tfce Company to the same extent as a Stock holder owning an equal amount of the Capital Stock. 34- EFPry Pfi?Py ?ssH?d fey fi\e Company is non-forfeitable, and contains a Claiise stating its exact Surrender Value. BEFOBE INSUBING YOUB LIFE OR ACCEPTING THE AGENCY OF ANY COMPANY REAft THE FOLLOWING : A lengthened experience bas demonstrated that the rates of Premium, ordinarily charged hy Lite Insurance Companies are from twenty-fivj to thu ty per cent, in excess 01 what are nccoas.ary for a safo and legitimate conduct of the business. In other words, carefully and'pru?entiy-manageu Companies charging "Mutual" rates have been able to return to their policyholders from 25 to 30 per cent of the amount charged for premiums. When Life Insurance Companies were first organized, the reliability of the data upon which the premiums were constructed had not undergone the test of experience. It was thought, therefore, no more than common prudence to adopt a scale of premiums which would, in any event, meet all the presumed and unforeseen contingencies pf the business. As long as the matter was involved in some donut, it was bette? to fix tho rato too high than to innir ihn risk of making it ]uo lbw ; i>roa."sl: in the former case, the error could lie easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to thc policyholders, at certain intervals, such portion ol'thc premium charged as was found unnecessary for the pu.poses of thc business ami thc compiftc security of the Conipan". Experience, however,haying satisiucl tr\>\ demonstrated that uiesc rates arc execs sive, what possible exclue call there l?< fcr liiainlaining'them ?

Those premiums are about twenty five per cent. lowertfiaiKmo? charged by Mutual Companies. lt also appeared- inasmuch as lihci ratei so established'wore as near as could possibly be determined fair rates, iuid ii"t i:; excess of what Insurance has previously cost the Policyholders in ^lUual Cvmim?bs^^ any profus arising from prudent manage ment" justly.apd properly belonged tu,the stockholders of. the?Company, .for the-risk incuiTed by them in.uiulerto^ Experience has shown tliat there are sources of profit in the practice of the business which" theory will not admit of being con'&dcfud' as elements m*fche calculation of thc premiums.

' .By this system of In?nmuce..iaigii?; i with lin the following important advantages : FIRST. Insurance at the regular " Stock'' rates, requiring a primary outlay o4 about twenty to thirty per cent, less which is ?quivalent to p yearly " dividend" paid in advance of that amount'on mutual rates. This low co9t of insurance is worthy of attention. Since its organization this Company has received in premiums from its policyholders the sum of $l,?i7,0?0. To effeot th? same amount of insurance in a Mutual Company would have cost them, an initial outlay of $2,000,000. By allowing its policyholders to retain in their own pos session this excess of $483,000, the Universal has virtually paid them a " dividend" of $483,000, and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at the end of 'one or more years. It is impossible to find any example of a Mutual Company furnishing insurauce at so low a cost by returning to its policyholders an equal amount upon similar receipts. SECOND.' 'Participation in thc legitimate profits of the Company, upon a plan which secures to the policyholders the same treatment whick Directors and Stockholders award to tliemsclves. This'system of participation, bi connection with thc low " stock" rates of premium, must necos=arily st?ure to thc policyholders evey possible 'advantage to bc derived from prudent and careful management. The low rates of premium compel economy, and, independent of participation, guarantee to the policyholder his insurance at a rate which is not in excess of the cost lb well managed mutual companies ; while, by the proposed plan of participation in what mav be considered tho legitimate profits of thc business, the cost will be still further diminished. Thus bv the combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in the profits it is confidently believed that the UNIVERSAL LIFE -INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance at its lowest practicable cost. S?ST Those of the existing Policyholders who desire to participate in the Profits under thc new Plan can do so by making application to the Head Office, or to any of th? Agents of the Company. Tlie Company is in a sowid financial.condition.
