INCORPORATED 1864. Has been in operation but fonr years, during which time it has assured a larger amount than any Company in tho United States, during a cor? responding period of existence. Ono of tho chief I causes of ita organization, was tho forfeiture by Hcveral Northern Companies of tho policies of Southerners, during tho war. The lcadmg officers 1 of this Company protested against this injustice, and on its consummation, withdrew and orga? nized tho "GLOIJE MUTUAL," on principles moro liberal and ?Hst than those yet adopted by any other Insurance Company. In tho event of death in battlo orin a duel, tho equitable value of the policy will bo returned to tho heirs. ALL other Companies forfeit it. In ease of suicide, tho FULL Policy is paid.

Feb 25 BEER ! 11HE Comniissionerof Agriculture, in his report . for tho year 18G5, speaks as follows: "Then) can he no doubt of the general adulte? ration of all malt liquors. In England and other countries, whero heavy penalties aro imposed, and an increasing vigilance practiced to detect and punish such frauds, hy a system of inspection of I all malt liquors manufactured before exposed to sale, the practico is very common. How much moro in thia country, where there are no laws on the subject, and no officer to carefully analyze tho products of tko brewer;.? Homo years ago, Pro? fessor Mapctt, of New York, analyzod tho boer from a dozen different breweries/ and all wore found adulterated with noxious substances. It is said that the Hale of drugs to brewers, is a profit? able part of tho trade. 'Phis is perfectly infamous. Coccnlna indiens, (tish berry,) mix v?mica, (dog button, from which strychnine is obtained, j are some of tho delectable substances found in beer! These are potent poisons, and the brewer found using them ehoHld bo drowned at once in one of | his own vats. Tho Rritish Parliament passed a law to'provont this nefarious business. Tho fol? lowing is an extract: 'No druggist, vendor of or dealer in drills, or chemist, or auy other person, shall sell or ilolivi r to any licensed brewer, dealer in or retailer of boer, knowiu); them to bo such, or shall sell or delivor to any person on account of, or in trust for, any such Grower, dealer, or re? tailer, any liquor called by the namoofor sold for col.uing, from whatever material tho same may bo made; or any material or preparation other than ungi omul brown malt for the darkening tho color of worts or beer, or any molasses, vitriol, honey, quassia, cooculus indiens, grains of para? dise, Guinea pepper, or opium, or any extract or preparation of molasses, or any article or prepa? ration to be used in worts or beer for or as a sub? stituto for mailor hops; and if any druggist shall offend in any of these particulars, such prepara? tion, Ac, shall be forfeitod, and may be seized by any officer of excise, and tho person so offending shall forfeit fice hundred pounds' "Under HUB law, very many druggists and brew ore were brought to grief, and yet the practice continues. Unless tho American oublie are roady to admit tho immaculate purity a..d innocence of American brewers, they must be content, while drinking their beer, to cherish thc belief that they are at tho samo time guzzling some narcotic poi? son or damaging medicino. In view of tho unpre? cedented growth of the barley crop; of the gre-.', increase of tho number of maltsters and brewers; nf the vast unknown quantities of boer that aro drunk in every city and almost every town on the continent; it is the dictate ot sound wisdom, that the attention of legislators should bo called to the subject of the adulteration of our malt liquors, ?nd severo penalties should bo inflicted as a pre? ventive.'* P. 8.-Judge for yourself I My Beer is pure.
