TIMS Company was chartered in March, 1844, and com- 

 menced business on the first of June, 1845. Its business is 

 conducted on the most economical principles. 



The well considered and invariable policy of this Company 

 has been to prefer the safety and mutuality of the assured to 

 the showy advantages of a large number of policies, and an 

 imposing amount of receipts. California risks have been uni- 

 formly declined, and the multiplication of policies in cities 

 considered especially liable to cholera has not been encour- 

 aged. 



The cash premiums of this company are calculated on the 

 most approved tables of the probability of life, and at the low 

 est rates which are detmed safe. 



Pamphlets, explaining the principles and advantages of life 

 assurance, with forms of application and rates of premium, 

 may be had by application at the Office of the Company in 

 Won ester, or of the Agents in all the principal towns in New 

 England. CLARENDON HARRIS, Secretary.

Mexican Guano. 



\.\EW ARTICLE is now offered to the Agriculturist and 

 Dealers, under the above name, from its having been found 

 near the Mexican coast. It has been analyzed by C. T. Jack- 

 son, M. D., State Assayer, Boston, Dr. David Stewart, of Bal- 

 timore, and others. Dr. Stewart says it contains the largest 

 proportion of Phosphates he has ever met with in Guano. 



The following are the result of the analysis made by C. T. 

 Jackson, M. D. : 



Water 23.40 



Vegetable Matter 15.80 



Soluble Salts (in Water) Phos. Soda 0.12 



Phosphates of Lime and Magnesia 60.50 



Insoluble Matter (Selex) 0.10 



99,92 

 The quality of this Guano as a rich fertilizer, and the great 

 reduction in price compared with the Peruvian, is such as to 

 render it an object for the agriculturist and dealers to buy and 

 give it a trial. It has been tried in the vicinity of Norfolk, 

 Va , and much approved by the Farmers, those who are now 

 buying and using of it freely. It may be obtained in lots to 

 suit purchasers of A. D. WELD, 12? State Street, PHINEAS 

 SPRAGUE & Co , T Wharf, or of P. A. STONE, who is the 

 importer and may be found at 15 Crescent Place, Boston, 

 where also other information may be obtained respecting it. 

 It is also for sale by Parker & While, 8 and 10 Gerrish Block,
