Every man has a, right to his opinion. nitre is ho disputing that. And Vliat one man publishes as gospel, any other person has a perfect right -to disbelicre and to re fute if be can. Now no ene can he utterly - i condemned if he tries hard to make prose lytes to his faith, provided he is himself; sincere. But then no one else can be blamed for speaking his honest convictions con cerning a false faith, or a faith of little ac count magnified into a faith of great mo tnent. These mild . . truisms arc sugge,ted by perusal of the New York Ledger, of the Sth of the present month. Singular eir cdtwdunee. that Brie can Ivrite; on the sth, about matters which happened about six days ago, on the sth! But this is one of the wildest tyPes of the "progress" malady which rages very fiercely now over thewhole land, .aving nod except in the region of night, away down yonder in the direction of "the Gulf." Mr. Robert Donner in an issue of his paper a week or two preceding the last number, launched cut pretty extensively into the merits of the Ledger And his own numberless 'Wines, to pros'., ~t high he treat ed the public with scores of endorsements from the papers of the east, the north, and the west. And Mr. Bonner even NVbilt so far as to draw a sort of parallel between himself and that lirtuous, illustrious and almost inimitable character, Mr. P. T. Bar : num, formerly of Bridgeport, in the land of steady habits and large onions. :\ - e have heretofore hoped for the honor of ha that the la-t named individual was nondescript production, peculiar to his age—that such a prodigious genius utterly without a rival, "grand and pecu liar," but by 110 means "gloomy," absolute ly peerless. But it scents to be the dect cc of fate that Bonner shall supplant Barnum, in the eye of public admiration; though we tvaaid fain hope, nut in the remarkable dchievements which marked ti-'e career of the dilapidated sliovi-rdan. At fill etents, [Littler will do well to avoid the stupid blunder, into which excessive conceit led groat prototype—of writing his OIVII life and exposing his own sins. Though it appears a questionable thing whether Bon ner has any sins to confess., in the face of all the "first class" certificates of character and church-standing, which his admirers have published over the country, detailing his promptness, his goalmadativeness, and his munificent charities. It must not be il experlence supposed that any of these certificates are pulAislied for effect, and fur the purpose of stimulating the circuhttiou of the Ledger among the admirers of public enterprise and private ‘irtue. However, leaving, Mmner and his virtues and his wonderful nettle% elnents to a di, eriminaling publi;7, or the winds, we hare n .w a little something, to do with the subject matter of that must ralnable paper which Ile be.tuwes upon his uns'erthy courtrymen once every w eek for the trilling considera thm of "Lady foul- beats," giving. "more reading; matter than can be ul2tailled in any other forni for twenty fire emits." l) Re markable and consoling filet! Mr. Bonner has mute than once told. the public on his reputation as a man of letters, that "Fanny Fern is the very best sketch ' writer of the day." Perhaps she is; but how has Mr. Bonner become aware of the fact? 11c must have some curious WAY of dieing into profound mystery, and bringing up therefrom lung-hidden secrets. We have ns means of knowing anything about Mrs. Fern, but by her works; and taking the last sample of her sketchy efforts as our text, We really Must be allowed to consider a lit , tle on this matter. We do not airpute that the last "charming sketch . ' entitled "My Sunday" is eurW to flonner all that it cost ! him, say :? , :30 for the half column—as he has often trumpeted abroad the rather hu titillating fact for such a sharl, nirmr, that ! he pays $lOO. per column for her sketches and that "they are worth it." Bct the clues ; non nosy is, tie tlat'r worth the small frac Lion of a cent—a fignre much nearer their in- who uqr binding doctrines together like a bundle of sticks and thrusting thurn at his yawning hearers"—. Beautiful and np• of the poetic leaps which the Fern prose is contihnally making; a tort of poetic It.. cense, much more like a license to sell drugged liquors. Then she likes sermons "that ahy poor soul straggling in tau carry back to his garret," "not it sermon that comes do chariot wheels, (1) but afoot, with a warm lifelike grasp for every horiest and dishonest hand in the assembly; defaulter or magdalen, for who bid you slam "Ileaven's gate in their faces." (l) Another charming and beautifully elaborated figure. Then sht likes a "human sermon," and she wants a preacher "who is always sinning and re penting." some one who "wants to tight when he is trodden on, but don't.'.'—that is, a blistering and whining, an advent:lTT, and retreating individual. We trust that she has not yet beep suited. Finally she implores the public not to abolish "24 Sunday," stud "my blessed Sunday breakfast, when we all have time to love one smother." Sunday in the fore noon seems in the mind of this sketcher the season especially consecrated to loving;— hot buttered cakes, coffee, with cream and sugar—and love? Well the thought may be worth something; we'll reflect on it in about four days from the present time, and may the amiable "gentlemen from Africa': nut forget our cakes and coffee, but fur the love, William, we would rather put it off to a more convtnient season. Now we would put the question to any candid parson of common sense if such stuff as this last effusion of Mrs. Fern's, is to be received as fine writing, to be devoured by hungry million, or bound in paste-board and handed down to future generations? Is it to inform the public of the rich treat within their reach that the enterprising, publisher sometimes occupies more than half of a daily paper with advertisements? or is it nut rather, in the absence of the slightest merit in such literature to stimulate the public curiosity, and prey upon the igno rance of tha uneducated masses—first in• forming them of the rare banquet within their reach, and then fooling them into the belief that it is really of the most rare and excellent quality? And how easy it is to delude the ignorant into the belief that what they have been persuaded to buy is vastly above it's real value. Mr. Bonner is adept enough in the noble science of ped dling to be well aware of this fact in the history of human nature, and to turn his knowledge to his own pecuniary ads antage. But is not this very like getting money un der false pretences? Is it any defence to say that lie pays high fur the wretched trash which he pitches out like straw to hungry asses who take it fur hay? does it not only make his employees a party to this game of literary swindling? As it regards Mr. Bonner's last card, the excellent man scholar and statesman, Mr. Everett, it is diffienit to speak advisedly yet, as:we have had but two papers from his pen. The first one was but an introduction, and contained some very interesting formation about the present condition of Mt. Vernon. his second effort is in a different style be ing a sort of essay on Christmas times and merry old customs. Here 7slr. Everett is entirely out of his line and a lung way this side of success. We remember having seen all those antiunarian quotations about the origin and ancient observance of Christmas. in a Philadelphia paper, a year or two aAe. Wo trust that Mr. Everett will nut think it necessary "to let him•elfdown," but keeping on his own track he may be able to throw the only light over the country which will ever catenate from the New York Ledger while it continues to shine in the ftrumnent of periodical literature.

Report of the Directors of the Fatm ers' Mutual Insurance' Company, j) EAD at n megt ing of the Members of that It lustttution, on the 25th day of December, A. I). 18.58, being their . annualicneeting for the Lion of officers. In cdmpliance with the established custom of the Association, the Directors of the Farm ers' Mutual Insurance Company submit to the Members the: Annual Repdrt of their proceed ings durihg the fast year. The performance of this duty will, in some Measure, only be a repetition of what has already been brought to the knowledge of the members by the frequent tolls for the payment of taxes, reified fdr the purpose of remunerating losses sustained by members of the company; and notwithstand ing that this is the legitimate object and busi ness of the company, it wattld haee been more agreeable to the Directors, as well as to each individual member, if there had been less oc casion for the exercise of those functions, which constitute the principle duties of the lloard. In that respect, the transactions of compa nies of this character, differ from almost all others; for, as a general rule, the more busi ness is transacted the greater the profits; but with insurance companies, especially those of a mutual order, the less they have to do the ereater will be their saving, which is equiva lent to gain. The losses sustained by the Company during the year now drawing to a close, have been unifsilally severe; and, are the more annoying and vexatious, because principally occasioned by the malicious acts of dastardly miscreants, who dare not avow their purpose: and who, though their deeds come to light, still escape the punishment which their crimes merit, un der the veil of impenetrable darkness. The firing of Building s by the wicked incen diary, has been carried to an extent that has created an alarm amongst the peaceful citi zens of t his county. None felt secure, no one could tell where the next blow would fall or who was marked as the next victim of their malignant and diabolical disposition. A dread of some unforeseen calamity, an apprehension of some impending evil haunted the imagina tion of the timid, whilst the most intrepid were dismayed, by the contemplation of inju ries inflicted by unseen hands which no pre caution could prevent, and the Perpetration of I atrocities which no ordinary degree of vigi lance could suppress, or overtake by adequate punishment. Under these Circumstances, the Coriniiis sinners of the county, acting as the guardians of the citizens, invited the different Insurance Companies to a consultation in relerence to measures that might have a tendency to arrest the progress of this fearful sod spreading evil. i The Directors of this Company met the Corn- rnissioners with that view, and after discuss- 1 ing various propositions, agreed to offer a re ward of two hundred dollars for the apprehen sion and convict= of any person that should wilfully set fire to any building insured by this Company, the Commissioners at the same time offering, a reward of five hundred dollars for the conviction of any person that should wilfully fore any building within the limits of the county. This would in effect give a re ward of seven hundred dollars for the convic tion of any person who would set fire to any building insured by the "Farmers' Mutual In surance Company." What effect these mea sures may have in staying the hand of the ruthless incendiary remains yet to be seen.— In the opinion of the Directors it can do no possible harm, and may he the means of de- ' terrine the outlaws at whom it is aimed, from 1 a further prosecution of this nefarious vocation. The first loss sustained by the Company, since the last report, was by a fire which oc curred in the dwelling house of Eenry•Shelly, 1 in Rapho township, on the first of February. a 1 ne house was not entirely consumed, but ma iteiially injured- The Appraisers estimated the actual foss at six hundred dollars. ($000.) and the Directors paid him four hundred and filly dollars, (5159) being three fourths of the actual toss. The fire yeas accidental. The next fire was the barn and wagori,shed I of John Frantz, of Manor township, which was destroyed on the night of the serond of February.

The dwelling house, though near by, was saved, by the exertions of the family and neighbors. aided by a providential change of I the wind at the time of the fire. The loss iwas estimated at three hundred and sixty dol- I lars, (5560) and the Directors paid him two hundred and seventy dollars, ($270). The fire was supposed to be accidental, but the family i could not account for its origin. 6.45 ~ 10.30 •• WIGS-WIGS-WIGS Dallcy's Mskieal Pain Extractor, Dalloy's @lagical Pain .estractor 5- n7 ~ 5- -.r s— ~ ~i~ o 1 On the ninth of Marche a fire occurred in a barn in East Lampeter township, which had been insured by Benjarbin Eshleman and Cyrus N. Herr. The barn and wagon -shed were en tirely consumed. No-accoant could be given of the origin of the lire. Bj , some it wds sup posed to have been accidental: whilst others at tributed it to incendiarism. =Messrs. Eshle; man and Herr had sold the ,property sonie months before the fire occurred, though the title had not been executed to the purrbaseri.--- Under these circumstances a difference of opm• ion arose in regard to the liabilities of 'the com pany. Some contending that the policy was rendered void by the sali„ and that the yor cthisei nibitsustairi he loss, hi riot hiliing re: newed the policy, and no notice of the sale having been given to the company; while:. others maintained that Messrs. Eshleman and Herr, not - having divested themselves of the title, could hold the Insurance Company 16r the loss. To this view of the case the Direc tors were at first inclined, but finding a strong .Xxiiiin — tiatfiirilitiOntbili- - difebtiab; they hesitated, and finally, under the advice of courniel-refcsed tirpiy.- Suit was then hroUght by Eshleman-and,Herr, and by the: consent - of conned on both sides, the Appraisers of the company were direcied to ascertain the actual damitie.-which ttiey I:eported at - twelve hun. dred and seventyfive d011ar5,(1,275.) From this report, Eshleman and Herr appealed,- and. the subject was "referred to three ' disinterested persons, aceorilinglo the rules and by-laws of the company. The refefees (estimated the loss at fourteen hundred and ninety-tux dollars, ($1,496.) At this stage'of the proceeding the subject rests at present: -•No adjudication by 1 the cburt has yet been had,-and the Direbtors catinot tell how the controversy will termi nate.' The resistence to this claim has not beeri made from any disposition on the part of the Directors to avoid the payment of. any legal claim that may be brought against thg corii pany; but. for the purpose of having a legal decision . upon a controverted point of law, the proper understanding of which is very impor tant to all Insurance Companies as well as policy headers. According to the By-Laws of this Company a policy is tendered void by the alienation of the property insured by sale or otherwise. The point in question, whether such alienation if effected by a simple con. tract for thejproperty,or must be consummated by the execution and delivery of the title, be. ?ha it intialidates the policy. The Directors have authority under the Constitution and By- Laws of the Company, to levy taxes. for the remuneration of losses, but they have no right Id impose takes for the payment of property, for which the Company is not justly and legally liable. Hence the necessity of having this mooted question properly adjudicated. On the night of Mai ch 2 lib a fire occurred in the store of Elias H. Witmer, at Millers town, Manor top. The contents of the store were entirely consumed,, one half of which had been insured by this conipany. '1 he ap. praisers estimated the actual loss at five thou sand three hundred and thirty-three dollars, ($5,333.) On this the Directois paid two thousand dollars, ($2000,) being three-fourths of one.half of the actual cash value. No clue could be obtained in regard to the origin of the fire. [Nov.l3, '5lll On the 27th of March, a fire occurred on the premises of Jacob B. Shuman, of Manor township, by which a dwelling house watt ton earned. The appraisers reported the actual damage at four hundred dollars, ($400,) and the Directors paid him three hundred, ($300). By the next fire; which occurred on the Sib of July, the barn of Henry Galen, of Martie township, was destioyed. The damage was laid at five hundred dollars, (WOO and the Di rectors paid him three hundred and seventy five dollars, ($375.) The barn was fired bt a sirripla-Mindedlourig woman, an inmate of Mr. Galen's family; She has since been con. victed upon her own confession,and senstenced to the Lancaster CoUnty Prison for the crime which seems to have been committed Without any apparent motive. When this fife ribcfirred the Direttors.deemed it ine2pedient to levy a tax fur so small an arhount, and therefore an- Dion:zed the Treasurer to borrow such sum as might be neessary to- meet the liabilities of the Corrtpant‘ The last fire in this long catalogue of dis t:steli, destroyed the barn of Joseph Buckwal ter, of East Lainpeter township. That occur red on the night of the ninth of October, and was also the work of an incendiary. The actual loss was reported by the appraisers at nine hundred dollars, ($900,) and the Directors agreed to pay him six hundred and seventy five dollars, ($07.5.) Several small fires oc ctirred, occasioning but trifling damage, which will be adverted to in the Treasurer's ac counts. To remunerate those heavy losses, the Di rectors were obliged to levy three different taxes. Of the first two, being each one dol lar on every thousand dollars of the valuation of the property insured, the one was made payable on the first day of May, and the other on the tenth of July. The last tax being fifty cents on the thousand, was made payable on the 20th inst. 01 this a considerable por lion is still unpaid, as also some of the former taxes. The precise amount yet to collect, cannot be ascertained by the Treasurer at this time as several of the Duplicates are yet in the hands of the collectors. The Treasurer's account exhibits the finan cial condition of the company at this time. The accessions to the Company during the past year, have been less than in some former years, and the amount of property withdrawn has been greater than usual, yet the aggregate value of property insured has been somewhat augmented, as will be seen from the following statement: The whole number of policies issued during the year was oue hundred and thirty-threei (1330 covering property to the value of $350,9t7 The additions trade to old policies amount 95,45/ Making a foto] of $445,701 The number of policies cancellOd Vras 132, embracing property to the value of $314,670 The sums withdrawn, by reducing the amo'unt of old policies, was .52,823 Making an aggregate cancelled and withdravrtt, of Which being deducted from the in create leaves an actual increase of sevehty-eight thousand two bun. cited end one dollars $78,201 To which if we add the amount in sured at the date of last year's re report $t,399,0r,/ We have an aggregate of $1,477,258 Four million, four hundred and seventy seven thousand two hundred and fifty-eight dollars, as the whole amount of property in sured at this time.
