REV. BISHOP STEVENS, A Solemn and Imposing Scene at Saint Andrew’s Church—An Overflowing Congregation. From Tbmsday’s Philadelphia Bulletin j St. Andrew’s Church, in Eighth street above Spruce, was the scene of u bdlhuiu and interesting ceremony Ibis morning. (January lid.) on the occasion of the consecration of Rev. William Bacon Stevens, D.D., as Assistant Bishop of tbo Protestant Episcopal Diocese of Pennsylvania.— Even aa early us daylight a number of persons had gath ered near the doors of the Church In the hopo of being able to gain admittance to Ihe building, and to enjoy a favorable position for witnessing the solemn and impres sive ceremony of consecrating a llishnp. The doors were not thrown open until nine o’clock, but the crowd, which bad increased until even the sidewalk in front of th-> church was thronged, stood its ground tirmly notwith standing the fact that the atmosphere was wintry and biting, i, When the doors were finally opened the rush was tremendous, and every seat was speedily tilled. The space in Cue church which wub allotcd to the general public was curtailed by the setting apart u r a large portion of the lower lloor for the accommodation of the clergymen in at tendance. Long before ten o’clock, the hour fixed for the commencement of the services, the aisles and vestibules were crowded and hundreds of persons who were unable to get inside the building were compelled to leave. The Interior of the church bad been boautifnlty decora ted for the Christmas holidays, and these decorations were allowed to gruce the walls on tbo occasion of the consecra tion. Al ten o’clock the bishops and other attending clergy men, who had gathorvd in the vestry-room In the rear of the church, proc- eded in procession to the places set apart, for them. Tho t lUd-iling clergymen were in their sacred robes, and the organ performed a solemn strain as they entered the church escorting the bishop-elect. Among the'distinguished clergymen who took part it) the ceremonies were bishop Whittlngham of Maryland. Bishop Lee of Dekwnre, Bishop Lee of lowa, and Bishop Odenheimer of New Jersey. Tho Bishops who were present and the officiating cler gymeu took their seats in the .chancel; tho venerable Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont, the Braiding Bishop, occu pied the Episcopal chair near the attar. The candidate for consecration occupied a scat in tho middle aisle near the chancel rail. The services commenced with the reading of the Morn ing prayer, aud tho performance of the offices pertaining to the service by the following-named cltrgyraen: Revs Messrs. Leeds, ifuddards, KiliSu-Uy. Win. S'evens Perry, of Portland, Me . aud Richard Channiog Moore, of Williams port. ' The morning service was followed by the sermon, winch was preached by Bishop Thomas March Clark, of Rhode Island. The lateness of the hour at which the discourse was delivered precludes tho possibility of our milking a report of it. It wbb listened to with profound attention. Tho text of the reverend speaker was taken from the Second Epistle to the Corinthians, IMth ver.-e. f.ih chapter: ‘•Now then wo are auib.imadors for Christ, as though God did beseveh \ou by us. we pi ay you in Christ's stead be ye reconciled to God.” Bishop Clark made a graceful aliusbn to the fact that he had preached the sermon upon ths occasion of the as sumption, by the Nhhup elect, c-f tho Rectorship of ?t. An drew’s Church, thirteen 'ears ago. and to the fulfilment, by Dr. Stevens, of the high imped then entertained, ut his purity, piety and ust fulness. He also spoke in terms of affection of liis own f- rmer connection with the chnrcb. The speaker made the usual allusion to the duties aud responsibilities ot the Episcopal office. In y the Union and the Government in their lime of peril. After tho sermon the certificates of attending clergymen were read, aud then followed the administering of the Holy Communion. A late hour had arrived before tho ceremony of consecra tion was performed. 1 The ceremony commenced with the reading of the “Col lect,” and of portions of the Scripture, according to the form of the Book of Commnu Prayer. Dr. Stevens wes then vested with the “rochet” by Rev. Drs. Vaughn uud Dorr. He was presented to the Presiding Bishop by Bish ops Horatio and Alonzo Potter, who said : “Reverend Father in God, we present unto you this godly and well-learned man to be ordaiued and consecrated Bishop.” The testimonials of Dr. Stevens were thou presented and read by Rev. Messrs. Childers, Morton, How.; and Ducachet. Dr. S. then made a promise of conformity and obedience to the doctrines, discipline, Ac., of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in the following words: “In the name of Goi, Amen. T, Wil'iara Bacon Stevens, chosen Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Penn sylvania, do promise conformity and obedience to the doc trine, discipline and worship of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, so help me God through Jesus Christ.” Then followed prayers, after which Bishop Hopkins, sit ting In the Episcopal Chair, said: Brother, forasmuch as the Holy Scripture and the an cient caoous command that wo should n-d h•» b.-.-dy in lay ing on hands, and admitting any peison to government in the Church of Christ which he bath purchased with no less price than the effusion of hi? own blood: before we admit you to this administration, wo will examine you in certain articles, to the end that the congregation present may have a trial, and bear witness, how you are miuded to behave yourself in the Church of God. Are you persuaded that you are truly called to Ibis min istration, according to tho will of our Lord Jesus Christ, and tho order of this Chnrcb? Answer —I am so persuaded. The Presiding Bishop—Are you persuaded that the Holy Seripturos contain all doctrine required as necessary for I eternal salvation tbrongh faith in Jesus Christ? And are j you determined, out of the same Holy Scriptures, to in- . struct the people committed to your charge, aud to teach j or maintain nothing, as necessary to eternal salvation, but that which you shall be persuaded may be cjncluded and proved by the same? Answer —I am bo persuaded, and determined by God’s grace. The Presiding Bishop—Will yon then faithfully exercise yourself in the Holy Scriptures, and call upon God by prayer for the true understanding of the same, bo that you may be able by them to teach and exhort with wholesome doctrine, and to withstand and convioce the gainsayers? Answer —I will so do, by the help of God- The Presiding Bishop—Are you ready, with all faithful diligence, to banish and drive away from the Church all erroneous, and strange'doctrine contrary to God’s word: and both privately and openly call upon and c-uccurage others to do the same ? - Answer —I om ready, the Lord being my helper. The Presiding Bishop—Will you deny all ungodliness and worldly lusts, and live Boterly, righteously and godly in this present world; that you may show yourself in all things an example of good works unto others, that the ad versary may be ashamed, having nothing to say against you? Answer —I will do so, the Lord being my helper. The Presiding Bishop—Will you maintain and set for ward, sb .much as shall lie iu you, quletnesß, love aud peace among all men; and diligently exercise such disci pline, as by the authority of God’s word, aud by the order of this Church, is committed to you? Answer —I will so do, by the help of God. The Presiding Bishop—Will you be faithful inordaining, sending, or laying hands on others? Answer—l will so be, by the help of God. The Presiding Bishop—Will you show yourself gentle, * and be merciful for Christ’s sake to poor and needy people, and to all strangers destitute of help ? Answer —I will so show myself, by God’s help. Then the Presiding Bishop, standing up, said : Almighty God. our heavenly Father, who hath given you a good will to do all these things, grant aUo unto you strength and power to perform the same: that be accomp lishing in you the good work which he hath begun, you may be found perfect and irreprebensible at tho latter day, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Araen. Bishop Stevens then put on the rest of the Episcopal habit, and “Fe.ni, Creator, Spiritus” was sung over him. — Then came prayers, Ac., and the Consecration ceremonies were at an end.

Mr. Stevens reported, from the Committee of Ways and Means, a bill repoaling certain laws creating ports of entry. The consider ation of this bill' was postponed till the second Tuesday in February. Mr. Stevens said he believed it was not a correct principle for a nation to blookade ! its own ports. Alluding to the adjustment of the Trent affair, he characterized the conduot of France os “impertinent,” and said that “when we shall have settled our domestic troubles we must look into the holy alliance of France and England and see how far they shall be permitted to oontrol our conduct.” A bill, introduced by Air.

Mr. Stevens and Fenton severally objected to the introduction of the resolution. Mr. Phelps asked, but failed to obtain, leave to introduce a bill extend ing the laws now inforoe regulating trade and inter course with the Indian tribes,.-to the Indians in California. The House then adjourned till Monday. tone of the articleß in the London Times and other English newspapers, is ex tremely hostile to the United States, and has produced great apprehension that England is resolved upon a war with this country, not withstanding the surrender of Mason and Sli dell to the protection of the British flag. The Times is particularly boastful and insulting, and calls the blockading of Charleston harbor by the stone fleet “an act of barbarity unpar alleled in the history of National wars—a crime against all human kind—execrable in design/’ &c. But it must not be forgotten that these articles were written in ignorance of the action of our Government, and under the an ticipation that Mason and Slidell would not be surrendered, and that war with the United States was inevitable—and that their design was to work up English opinion to the fighting point. Whether England is resolved upon war at all hazards, and will discover Borne other pretext for meddling in our domestic affairs the moment the Mason and Slidell cause is re moved, we will ascertain after the news of their surrender reaches England and the ac counts of its effect comes back to this country. Certainly the surrender of the Rebel Ministers was a concession by our Government for peace; and if England presumes to take advantage of our apparent weakness to force a war upon us, the people will meet the danger with a spirit proporiioned to the concessions made for the sake of preventing a foreign war at a time of deep domestic trial. —Patriot & Union. j Condition of English Cotton Mills.— ! Important statistics referring to eight hundred ; and forty-two cotton mills in Lancashire are | published. Of the total number, two hundred j | and ninety five are working full time, eeventy- ! i five five days in each week, three hundred and I j five four days, one hundred and eighteen three ; days, and forty-nine have ceased running ] altogether. Of 172,257 working people em -1 ployed in these mills, 64,393 are working full time, 15,572 five days in each week, 55,397 four days, 28,832 three days, and 8,083 are totally unemployed. As it is very probable that eaoh subsequent month will add to the number of those on | short time or totally unemployed, .a large increase of pauperism must be expected du ring the winter. The annual exportation of Manchester manufactures amounts in value to i $260,000,000; but owing to the American war some of the markets are closed and others have been so depressed as to prove indifferent customers. Hence there has been a glut of goods, which have come baok upon the manu facturers. The amount of capital embarked in cotton industry in England has been estimated, in the year 1860, at £100,000,000, (about $600,- 000,000) which serves to give some idea of the Absolute immensity ,of the interest involved. HOW-PKTEB. FUBJK DOE8;BV8I5BB8. “Burleigh,” the Nevv York correspondent of the Boston Journali writes the following leaf in the history of Peter Funk and' his doings: Some time since a rural Colonel from the West came to New York to make a speech. He was met the Dexfc day by a gentleman who called him by name—knew well—-was charmed with the, fervor of his Western elo quence—with the force ofhis oratory,‘.with his unfaltering patriotism; to all which the West ern orator bowed in the lowest humility, avow ed his sense of unworthiness, and his inability to enlighten a New York audience; but ex pressed a warm appreciation of the manner in which the people listened to his poor re marks. A fellow.feelihg was at once created; and confidence; that plant of slow growth, seemed to come forth as by a miracle. The pair reached a store in Broadway, the owner ship of which the new acquaintance of the Colonel avowed. It just popped into the nrind of the Colonel that he had a lovely daughter at home, fair as a prairie rosebud, which soon was to bloom in a conservatory of a waiting swain, who held in his impatience to make the fair flower his own till the Colonel should come home from New York. Now the daughter needed a gold watch, and he pro posed to buy one. The new friend of the Colonel allowed that he kept watches in his establishment, but had nonethat were worthy of the attention of the distinguished gentle man and his fair daughter. He had some, it wae true, but as they could be sold for the paltry sum of $125 to $3OO, it was not worth while to look at them. And, moreover, the city of New York was a bad place for stran gers ; men got cheated every day, and he wonld do well to look sharp at all men who wanted to sell him anything, and be especially care ful of the company he got into. For all this he was profoundly grateful,-and persisted in going into the store and taking a look at the jewelry, aB he knew a thing or two, and the man would rise up early in the morning who got the better of him. Now let me say to the reader that this friend of the Colonel was one of the sharpest Peter Funks in New York, and his store the head quarters of moek auctions. So in the man went. An elegant watch was shown the Col., one of great value, worth $l3O, and cheap at that. So a bargain was struck, and had the Colonel gone on his way all would have been well. But at this moment two men came in —one a customer and one a “ down town” jeweller. The jeweller opened the business. His friend, he said, was about to buy a watch for $2OO, and like a wise man as he was, he would not purchase until some one that knew all about watches had passed judgment on it. So the watch was handed out, examined and found to be all right. A new thought came over the Colonel. He would have his purohase examined. Ho would —and when the back of the seller was turned, he said in a whisper, don’t take it. But the money had been paid. The jeweller knew how to manage that. The whole stock was examined, only one that would suit. That hung by itself on a black velvet case. That could not be had. It had been sold to a man who was to “ call for it at two, precisely.” It was a watch of rare value, and could not be had at all, and if it could it was invoiced at $2OO. But that par ticular watch the Colonel resolved to have. The parties all waited till the City Hall alarm bell rung out the hour of two, when the Colonel demanded the watch. The jeweller seconded the call. The seller was in doubt; his conscience was tender; he wanted to do the fair thing; but concluded to hand the watch over, and the additional $5O was paid. The watch was hardly iQ the pocket of the buyer, before pantiDg with heat and haste, the man for whom the watch was kept, came run ning in—he bad been detained by the omnibus —and demanded his watch. Great was his indignation when he found it was too late. The watch was his ; he would have it; it was two till it was three; would give five dollars, ten, fifteen. But the Colonel would not yield; he did not trade in watches; he had bought one, it suited him, and $5O was no object. A quarrel followed jjgliss was broken ; noses bled ; the Toombs loomed up before the Colonel, and to keep the watch and make all. square, $5O more was paid and he departed. Ol course the reader knows that the jewel ler and his friend, and the panting man run ning in too late to carry off his watch were all bogus, and parts of the establishment to carry on the Peter Funk business. Oq arriv ing at hiß hotel the $2OO watch was found to be brass. The Police were called in, but the jeweller and the store was closed. He could get no relief. He concluded to shake the dust of Gotham off his feet and go home. In a frame of mind not exactly Christian he took his seat in the car—left in a moment to go out; came back, found an occupant in his seat, ordered the interloper out; as the cars were crowded the new comer could not see it. Viewing all men as conspirators, he took the law in his own hands—gave the intruder a beating, was arrested, locked up in the Toombs, and left for home, after paying in all $l,OOO, with the fixed resolution that when 25,00 5.00 88.60 600.00 400 00 160.00 6,925 > 900; • I , 12.00 ,7 in No* I 695.00 i; 650.00 1 25.90 tax 1400.00 > 109.00 nsi.oot&x l| 975 00 S 85.00 >8.25 tax 960.00 ,34.25 tax i 2:00 , 826.00 v i,29 In No 1 925 00 : 930.00 260.00 SlO.OO 30000 'Slttßo 325.00 855.00 650.00 20 In No the party needed n speaker, he should no! come out to New York to make the oration, Glue.--We advertise to-day a new style of glue, which must bo needed in every house.

It is related of this uufortnnate dog that, he was stuck together with two legs up and two dowo, and remained so for the rest of his life; albeit he was a more durable dog after than before this slight accident, because while be was running on two legs the other two were resting, and he bad only to flop over on the rested legs and go ahead, afresh. This only shows that care should be taken in sticking things to gether, when you have a good glue to work with. —From the Zanesville Aurora, November 25,1859. {jau ~ lm /y {9“ How to Regain Lost Health..** f The blood is a fluid, which diffusing itself through out the entire animal organization, gives life and ac tion to the thousands of minute fibres composing the body. Tho arterial system penetrates to every organ, and these iu turn, give to the matter thus received their peculiar character. The vital principle is that mys terious power within, which acting through tho blood, counteracts disease, and repairs the ravages of time. So long as its vigor and activity continue superior to the as saults of time and the excesses in which we indulge, we are secure in the enjoyment of health. From which are too fruitful to be mentioned here, disease gains lodgment in the system, and ail the varied symptoms attendant upon Consumption, fasten their deadly fangs upon the sufferer. It is cheering to know that a remedy has at last been found to cure the worst forms of pulmonary com plaints, if applied in season. Dr. O. Phelps Brown’s Acacian Balsam is prepared with a direct eye to its effect upon the blood and secretions. This incomparable medi cine has already cured thousands of grateful beings from death by Consumption, and its wonderous efficacy In this terrible disorder as well as in all cases of serious inroads upon health, attended with extreme debility, is acknowl edged by all. When from any cause, the vital force be comes enfeebled, the Aoacian Balsam puts forth its proper ties, the organs are stimulated into activity, and healthy blood is furnished in abundance. Its happy influence is felt upon all the secretions, and every particle of disease is made to vanish before the healthful, life giving prompt ings, thus called forth. The Acasian Balsam is sold at $2 per large bottle and may be obtained of KAUFMAN k CO , I Solo Agents, No. 1 East Orange street.

Bead at a Meeting of the Members of that In stitution, on the. 28th dag of December, A. It., 1861, being their Annual Meeting for the Elec tion of Officers : FOE two years next preceding that bow brought to. a close, tha “Directors of the Far mers’ Mutual Insurance Company, In making op their Annual Report, bav? had the pleasure of congratula ting the members on their fortunate exemption from serious anddlsastrous losses by fire; so. much bo, that the Directors found It unnecessary to levy any tax dur ring that time, except at the dose of the last 3 ear; but, as the tax was not collected until the commencement of the present year, it would seem to belong more appro priately to the expenses of this year, thus Leaving the two years already referred to without any tax what ever. This favorable condition of circumstances could not reasonably be expeeted to be of long continuance, and it may be remembered that the Directors, in their last report, adverted to this subject, end seemed to an ticipate a season when liberal contributions' might be required. The old adage, that “misfortunes never come single,” has been fully realised by the Farmers’ Mutual Insur ance Company, daring the last six months. Indeed, it would almost seem as If casualties by fire were govern ed by some epidemical or contagious influence, which, when once in operation, continues Its ravages until it has spent Its force, or is count*rated by some other influence. Without stopping to sustain such a theory by philosophies! deductions, the Directors can only.in dulge the hope, that we have, tor the present, reached the extremity of this destructive cycle, and that, on the principle that “ after a storm there comes a calm,” we may anticipate a cessation of those calamities, and rest in apparent security for an indefinite period of time. At the close of the : year 1859, the report of the then Treasurer, John Rohrer, showed a balance in his lavor of one thousand and thirty-fire dollars and seven cents. ($1035 07). This was money that had been advanced by him, at different times, when the money in the Treas ury was inadequate to pay losses and expenses that had been incurred, and when the sum required seemed too small to justify the Directors in levying a tax,— There having been no tax collected during the last year, this debt remains unpaid. In the tax that was laid at the close of the last year, and which may be considered as the first tax daring this year, the payment of this debt was contemplated, and was so announced in the report of the Directors, although the amount was not stated In that report. A succession of small fires crea ted an unexpected demand on the Treasury, and the money intended to pay Hr. Bohrer was applied to the payment of losses that occurred subsequent to the levy ing of the tax. A precisely similar state of things has prevented the payment of this debt ont of the second tax as yet. As this debt constitutes a material part of the present indebtedness of the Company, and has al ready been twlee (if not oftener) used as a pretext for levying a greater amoint of tax than existing losses seemed to jastify, this explanation has bee redeemed necessary, in order to give all concerned a full and fair understanding of the present condition of the Company. Although c&sualities by fire in property insured In this Company have been more frequent during the pres ent year than for a number of years past, the aggregate loss has not been proportionably great. None of the losses have been very heavy, and most of them may be considered light, and singly, would scarcely have been felt by the Company. On several the Compa ny, as well as the individuals owning the property, nar rowly escaped 6erious losses, which were prevented by a timely discovery of the fire and the active and judi cious exertions of those who were present. It is a consoling reflection too, that most of the fires were purely accidental, and only two or three were sus pected to be tbe work of incendiaries. Two of the fires having occurred iu the same neighborhood, a sus picion was excited that the troubled condition of the oouutry, and the different opinions entertained in re gard to those troubles, might have some connection with the cause of those disasters; or that, some unprin cipled scoundrels might be lurking in that vicinity, who for some purpose of eupldity or vengeance, or the mere gratification of a malicious disposition, might be guilty of further perpetrations. These suspicions for a time created some alarm, and were the subject of con siderable conversation in the immediate neighborhood and the surrounding country; but, as a considerable time has now elapsed, without a repetition of those outrages, a returning sense of confidence and security again pervades the public mind, which it Is hoped may not soon be disturbed or molested. The first fire during the period embraced in this re port, occnrred in the stables of JohaGreider and Cath arine Uershey, in the village of Houotvllle. This fire really occurred in the night of the 29th of December, A. D., 1860, which was so near the close of the year as to throw the whole proceedings ot the Board in relation thereto into the business of the current year. The appraisers estimated Mr.Grelder’s damages at $4OO, and Mrs. Hershey’s at $48.00. Of these sums three-fourths of the amount was paid to each respectively. The ori gin of the fire was supposed to be the work of an In cendiary. The next fire occurred In the cotton mill of Spencer, Boardman & Spencer, on the 22d of February. The fire originated accidentally amongst the machinery, loose cotton and other highly Inflammable material, which greatly endangered the whole building and contents, and but for the timely exertions of the proprietors and their employees, and the judicious application of the ample and efficacious measures of precaution provided by the proprietors, the flames could not have been ex- tinguished, and the Company, as well as the proprietors, would have sustained a very severe loss. The damage was principally confined to the machinery, and the amount paid by the Company was $247.92. A cooper’s shop of Christian Fenßtermacher, in Manor township, was the next building destroyed. This hap pened on the 19th of April. The fire broke out in the afternoon, and was supposed to be accidental. The building was insured at $lOO. The appraisers estimated the damage at that, and the Directors paid him $76.00. On the 80th day of July, the dwelling house of Jacob C. Clair, of East Hempfitlj township, waß consumed by fire, accidentally. His loss was estimated by the ap praisers at $1950. three-fourths of which being $1462 50, was paid to him by the Directors. On the 17th day of August a fire occurred iu a work shop owned by Henry K. Stoner, in West Lampeter township. The timely discovery of the fire and the abundance of water otf hand, (being near the mill-race) enabled those present to subdue the devouring element, and keep it within the building where it originated; otherwise a large barn filled with hay and grain with • In a few feet of the shop, must have Inevitably been consumed and a serious loss fallen on the Company, as well as on tbe owner of the property Mr. Stoner’s loss was estimated at $260, and the Directors paid him $l5O. The next In the series of this year’s disasters, was the dwelling house and store of Robert Soulsby, In Martic township, which took place on the night of the 22d of August. This was evidently the work of an incendiary, as a fire was kindled In the barn, on the premises, at the same time, but owing to its confined situation, had made little pregress when discovered, and was easily extinguished. Iu a few minutes more the flames would have reached the hay loft, and all efforts to arrest its progress would have been vain. The loss was estimated by the appraisers at $l9OO, and the Directors paid Mr. Soulsby $1425. Another fire occurred on the night succeeding the 12th of September, on tbe premises of P. W. Uiefitand, in Mlllerbville, by which his barn and contents was de stroyed. The appraisers reported his loss three hun dred and seventy-five dollars, for the barn, and one hundred dollars for the contents. The Directors paid him $356 16. This building was supposed to have been designedly set on fire. In less than a mouth after the burning of Mr. Ili's- tand’e barn, viz: on the night of October 6th, the barn of Samuel Cramer nf Mattie township, was burned. As no clue to the origin of the lire could be discovered, the con clusion was that some malicious person hadpurposelyrset fire to it. Mr. Cramer’s loss was serious, as the amount insured was greatly below the actual value; but as this was bis own fault, he did not complain, and was satis fled, when the Lirectors agreed to pay him $750, that being three-fourths of the amount he had insured. Of this sum $5O has been paid, and the balance is still due him by the Company. On the night of the 15th of November, a wagonma ker's shop and blacksmith’s shop, owned by Peter Fet ter, in Manheim township, was burned. The fire was accidental, and the value of the buliding estimated at $5OO, three-fourths of which- being $375, the Directors assumed to pay. Mr. Fetter had no Insurance on the contents of his shop, and, in consequence, sustains a heavy loss. Two days subsequent to the last mentioned fire, to-wit: on the 17th of November, a fire occurred in the dwelling house or Elias H. Rhoads in Reams town. The fire originated in a part of the building oc cupied as a cabinet-maker’s 6hop, but was discovered and extinguished before it reached any other part of the building. Here again ihe Company narrowly escaped a serious loss, as the Inuse is a large’three-6tory brick building, with a considerable amount of contents in sured. Mr. Rhoads’ loss was estimated at $l4O, three fourths of which, being $lO5, the Directors agreed to pay. In addition to those above mentioned, there were sev eral small fires.one of which (in Mr. Good’s house) came nigh being serious, but by a timely discovery, and stren uous exertions, a conflagration was prevented. Upon a review of the whole, although the losses dur ing the year have been serious, and the taxes somewhat onerous. A little reflection will convince the members of the Farmers’ Mutual Insurance Company, that they have more reason to be grateful for what they have es caped, than cause to complain of what they have been made to endure. The whole number of policies issued during the year was one hundred and ninety-eight (198) covering property to the amount 0f... $395,723 The additions made to old policies amounted to. 74,187 Making a total addition of The number of policies cancelled, was 216, the valuation of which amount ed to Tbe diminutions on old policies a- mount to 22,708 Making an aggregate cancelled and withdrawn Which exceeds the additions and exhibits an actual decrease of. $ 19,602 Which being deducted from the amount exhib ited by the last report 4,876.326 Leaves an aggregate of $4,666,724 as the amouut now insured by the Company. This is the first statement of the affairs of the Com pany, that exhibits an actual decrease of the amount insured. From the first organization of the Company, in 1844 , when the amount insured but little exceeded $300,000, it has been steadily and rapidly increasing, until at the close of last year It attained the magnitude of four mil lions eight hundred and seventy-Ax thousand, threo hundred and twenty-six dollars; and notwithstanding j the amount of new insurances exceeds that of either of the two preceding years, it has been more than over | balanced by the great number of withdrawals, thus j showing an actual diminution of the aggregate amouut i insured, which diminution apparently occurred during ] the present year. This, however, does not present a 1 correct view pf the subject. The members of this Com- \ pany, being residents of some twenty-five or more town ships in this county, numbers of them have little inter course with the Board of Directors, except indirectly ; through persons employed to collect the taxes. As there is no imperative obligation on those whose polloles he- i come void by a sale or transfer of the property to report i the sum to the Directors, many of these changes donot j come to the knowledge of the Directors until returned ■ by the oollectors; and as there was no tax collected da ring the years 1869 and ’6O, a number of those changes that occurred during those years and should have been then cancelled, remained unnoticed, and, to the Board of Directors unknown, until brought to their knowledge by thecollectorsdurlngthepresentyear; consequently, ! of the 216 policies cancelled during the present year, a proportionate number properly belonged to the two preceding years, and had they been then reported would have to some extent diminished the increase exhibited daring those years, and prevented the apparent dimin ution which by the above statement appears to have ocoarred during the present year. The Directors are not aware of any cause for a de crease of the amouut of Insurance, beyond that of pre vious years; no dissatisfaction has been manifested In any quarter, and the tax has not been so exorbitant as to induce any person to withdraw or cancel his insur ance; and the apparent dimiauatlon can only be at tributed to the accumulation of the withdrawals during two preceding years, being included With wbat proper ly belongs to the current year. To remunerate the losses above described, and pay the current expenses of the Company, a tax of one-tenth of one per cent, or one dollar on the thousand, was levied by the Directors, in addition to the one levied at the close nf the last year, but collected during the present year. A portion of this tax Is still uncollected, and as the duplicates for delinquents are now in the hands of the collectors, the Directors Itave no means of ascertaining the precise amouut outstanding, but entertain the opin ion that the tax, when all collected, will be sufficient - to pay the balances now due to Messrs. Cramer, Fetter ana Rhoads, and leave a few hundred dollars towards the liquidation of the debt due to Mr. Bohrer.

In fact, the disorder grew worse. At length I was rejoiced ' to read in the Gospel Messenger that you had prepared an alterative (Sarsaparilla), for I knew from your repots- ■ tion that any thing yon made must be good. I sent to 1 Cincinnati and got It, and used it till it cured me. I took it> &S you advise, in small doses of a teaspoonful over a month, and used almost three bottles.

Bronchocele, Goitre or Swelled Neele. ‘ Zebulon Sloan of Prospect, Texas, writes: “ Throe bot tles of your Sarsaparilla cured me from a Goitre — a hid eous swelling on the neck, which I had suffered from over two years.” lieucorrhoea or Whites, Ovarian Tumor, Uterine Ulceration, Female Diseases. Dr. J. B. S. Charming, of New York City, writes; “I most cheerfully comply with the roqnest of your agent in saying I have found your Sarsaparilla a most excellent alterative in the numerous complaints for which we employ such a remedy, but especially in Fbnale Diseases of the Scrofulous diathesis. I have cured many inveter ate cases of Leucorrhcea by it, and some where the com plaint was caused by vleerution of the uterus. The ulcer ation itself was soon cured. Nothing within my knowl edge equals it for these female derangements.” Edward S. Marrow, of Newbury, writes, u A dan gerous oranan tumor on one of tho females in my family, which had defied all the remedies we could employ, has at length been completely cured by your Extract of Sar saparilla. Our physiciau thought nothing but extirpa tion could afford relief, but he advised the trial of your Sarsaparilla as the last resort before cutting, and it proved effectual. After taking vour remedy eight weeks no symptom of the disease remains.” Syphilis and Mei’curial Disease. Dr. J. C. Ayer : Sir, I cheerfully comply with the re quest of your agent, and report tS you some of the effects I hare realized with your Sarsaparilla. I have cured with it, in my practico, moat of the com plaints for which it is recommended, and have found its effects truly wonderful in the cure of Venereal and Jfer curial Disease. One of my pationts had Syphilitic ulcere in his throat, which were consuming his palate and the top of his mouth. Your Sarsaparilla, steadily taken, cured him in five weeks. Another was attacked by sec ondary symptoms in his nose, and the ulceration had eaten away a considerable part of it, 60 that I believe the disorder would soon reach his braiu and kill him. But It' yielded to my administration of your Sarsaparilla; the ulcers healed, and he is well ugaiD, not of course without some disfiguration to his face. A woman who had been treated for tho same disorder by mercury was suffering from this poison in her boues. They had become so sen sitive to the weather that on a damp day she suffered ex cruciating pain in her joints and bones. She, too, was cured entirely by your Sarsaparilla in a few week!. I know from its formula, which your agent gave me, that this Preparation from your laboratory must be a great remedy; consequently, these truly remarkable results with it have not surprised me, Fraternally yours, G. V. LARIMER, M. D. Rheumatism, Gout, Liver Complaint# Independence, Preston Co., 6th July, 1860. Dr. J. C. Ayer: Sir, I bavo been afflicted with a pain ful chronic Rheumatism for a long time, which baffled the fikill of physicians, and stuck to me iu spite of &U the remedies I could find, until I tried your S&ruaparilla. One bottle cured me in two weeks, and restored my general health so much that I am far better than before I was attacked. I think it a wonderful medicine. J. FREAM. Jules Y. Getchell, of St. Louis, writes: “I have been afflicted for years with an affection of the Liver, which destroyed my health. I tried every thing, and every thing failed to relieve me; and 1 have beeu a broken-down man for some years from no other cause tlmu derangement of the Liver. My beloved pastor, the Jlev. Mr. Espy, advised tne to try your Sarsaparilla, because he said he knew yon, and any thing you made was worth trying. Ry the bless ing of God it has cured me, aud has ko purified ray blood as to make u new nmn of me. I feel young again. The best that can he suid of you is not half good enough.” Sr liirrus,Cancer Tnmors, Enlargement, Ulceration, Curies and Exfoliution of tlie Hones.
