WAYNE COUNTY MUTUAL
INSURANCE COMPANY.
ALL Persons insuring in this company are
members equally interested in its welfare
and in the election of its officers.
In order to become a member of this company
and thereby be insured, the applicant gives a pre
mium notei the amount of which is in proportion
to the amount to be insured, and its degree of
hazard, thus: If $1000 is to be insured, at 5 per
cent., he gives his note for $50. If at 10 per cent,
he nves his note for $100, and in that proportion
for a greater or less sum, according to the rate oj
hazard, on which note he advances 6 per cent, and
an additional sum of $1 50 ftfr survey and policy.
He then becomes a member on the approval of
his application and is insured for five years. The
aggresate of the premium notes constitutes the
cash fund, chargable first, with the expenses, and
second, with the losses of the Company; and
should it prove insufficient to pay both losses and
expenses the money to meet the losses, (should ;
any occur) is borrowed agreeably to the act of in
corporation, and paid. An assessment is then
made to repay such loan upon the premium notes,
in proportion to their respective amounts, and in no
case to be made but once a year, notwithstanding
several losses may happen.
At the expiration of fire years the note, if any
assessments have been made and paid, is given
up, and the insured may renew his application.
Policies may at any time be assigned or sur
rendered and cancelled, and the premium notes
given up. according to the by-laws of the Com
pany. ' No more than three fourths of the cash
value of any property will be insured, and all
.great hazards: such as Cotton Factories, Powder
Mills, Distilleries, Machine Shops, Manufactories
for Printer's Ink, and all establishments of the
same class of hazards, are not insured upon any
conditions whatever, and that no one risk is taken
over $5000, it is considered much more safe and
less expensive than in Stock companies, where
they insure large amounts and hazardous proper

Are the greatest worm medicines in the world
Dr Churchill has used them in over fifty cases,
cured ten of spasms and three of fits. He con
siders them safe and sure, and recommends them
to all.
Mr. J B Noyes has used them in his family with
entire success,; and several of his friends have
great confidence in them.
Col L Clark cured one of his children of spasms,
and one of fits accasioned by worms
The Hon B B Beadsley thinks they have saved
the life of one of his children. It had been a long
time in a decline, and was attended by the best
physicians without any relief. His family doctor
recommended Sherman's worm Lozenges as the
only hope; he did so, and through the blessing of
God his child is now well another living evidence
of their wonderful virtues. Mr B says no family
should be without them' More than 2,000 certifi
cates might be added to their truly wonderful prop
erties Cam Coffin, of Nantucket, consulted Dr Sher
man, on account of his son, 8 years old He had
been in a decline for several months, and attended
bv four Physicians, who could afford him no relief.
His symptoms were leanness, pallid hue, very of
fensive breath, disturbed sleep, broken off by fright
and screaming, headache, a distressing cougn,
itching of the nose through the day, and of the
anus towards night, with slimy discharges from
the bowels. The doctor pronounced the case one
of worms and recommended his Worm Lozenges.
After the first dose the child ran to his parents
frightened at the quantity of worms that came from
him he began to menu at once, and belore ne useu
one box, was entirely cured
Beni. F. Goodspeed, 130 Sixth Avenue has al
wavs cufedhis children of worms, by Sherman's
Lozenees. He would not be without them in his
o
house on any account.
The Rev. Jabez Townsend's little cirl, nine
vears old, was Given up as incurable by two phy
sicians. She was fast wasting away, and was so
miserable, that death was alone looked to lor re
lief. Three doses of Sherman's Worm Lozenges
entirely cured her.
Dr. Stevens, one of the most distinguished phy
sicians in this country, says Sherman's worm Lo-
zenges are' the safest, best article he knows of for
destroying worms.
Dr. Hunter, another celebrated nhvsician, uses
no other wOrm medicine in his practise.
Dr. Castle, 297 Broadway, has used Sherman's
Lozenges in his practise for more than two years
and never knew them to tail.
These valuable Worm Lozenges can be obtain
fid at the Office of the Jefkersonian Republican

xThe Governor of Indiana, a small
man, encountered recently, a six-foot
Yankee at one of the hotels in India
napolis, who was loudly boasting that
he could beat all creation at every
thing. The Govenor, a total strang
er to him, after listening a while to
his unrestrained self-laudation, offer
ed to bet him "drinks round" the
company being pretty numerous
that, though the Yankee was a big
man, yet he (the Governor) was Big
erer. As soon, as Jonathan found that
he little fellow was realty in earnest
ie shouted "Done! and now let all
lands liquor first, and We'll measure
afterwards.". A pretty extensive. as
well as expensive drink went round,
or every one in the room Knew me
Yankee would have to pay for it, ex
cept the Yankee himself. A two toot
rule was then procured. The Yan
kee stretched himselt up against the
wall, and his measure was announced
o be six feet one and a half inch.
'It's no use measuring me," said the
Governor, "for I'm Bigger." "The
Devil you are!" quickly rejoined the
Yankee. "Yes, I'll have my throat
cut if he -aint, chimed in one of the
party who had freely partaken 01 the
bet. ."Why, you tarnal fool said an
other' lookinp: straight at the i ankee
who appeared half bewildered. "Don't
you know that that is little Bigger,
Governor of the State of Indiana!"
Jonathan instantly streaked it for
Connecticut, and Governor Bigger
for the Executive Chamber.
A Cold Water Gallant.
Joe Sykes, a dry chap who is wiit-
insr letters to the N.York Commercial
from the southern counties of the
State, immortalizes a wag by the
name of Manrow. a contractor on the
New York and Erie railroad, who
owns a wagon, the fore wheels of
which are as large as the hind wheels.
One of his horses he calls Fanny, the
the other Elssler; and he swears that
"Fanny Elssler is a whole team;"
One day he stopped to dine and feed
his horses. A pretty damsel waited
at the table, and came to fill his tum
bler whenever he rang the bell to call
her from an adjoining room. He was
smitten with her beauty, and drank
his glass dry as quickly as possible,
that he might have the pleasure of
seeing her fill it again. His desire to
see her, however, exceeded his capa
city to hold all the water she poured
out; and, seeing a jar of pickles stand
ing in the room, instead of drinking
the water he poured it into the jar,
repeating his calls for the damsel to
fill his tumbler till he had filled the
jar to overflowing. His reputation
for drinking "water, of course, soon
spread over the neighborhood; arid
the secret was not found out until the
good landlady discovered that the li
quid in her jar had been diluted, and
her pickled cucumbers thereby de
stroyed.
