LIFE ASSURANCE. 
R eport of the select committee of the 
HOUSE of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM The new 
and Important feature of Life Assurance adopted by the DEPOSIT 
and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 
The following is an extract from the Report of the Select Com- 
mittee : — 
“ The objects which persons have In view in effecting Insurances upon 
their lives, are generally of an important and solemn character, vl*„ 
the provision for widows and orphans after the death of their natural 
protectors; unlike any ordinary transaction of trade, a contract once 
entered into cannot be discharged or abandoned, if doubts of the 
stability of an office should arise, without a sacrifice of premiums paid 
in past years, and the necessity of effecting now policies In other offices 
at Increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age of the assured ; 
persons are thus placed in the anxious and unhappy dilemma of bolng 
compelled to persevere in paying premiums from year to year, with some 
suspicion and doubt as to the ultimate advantage of doing so, or of in- 
curring the serious loss which, under the most favourable circumstances, 
must attend the abandonment or sale of a policy." 
On the deposit system a person is not “ compelled " to pay, from 
“year to year," aud he does not, if desirous of “abandoning" Ms 
policy, incur any “serious loss,” but, on the contrary, ho may pay 
such amounts, and at such times, as ho may find money convenient ; 
lie can stop paying whenever he pleases, and ho can withdraw the 
whole or part of his premiums. If the whole bo withdraw n the policy 
is cancelled ; if part only, then the value of the policy is diminished by 
the assured value of the part withdrawn. 
A . B., aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a payment o( 61 , which It 
will be seen he increases from lime to time, and occasionally diminishes. 
For example —The tollowlng abstract of a Ledger Account will 
show the opcration of the scheme : —

MANTPACTURED BY 
T & II. FERRABEE, Phosnix Iron Works, 
J . -rear Stroud, Gloucestershire. 
The well-known BUDDING'S PATENT LAWN MOWING

J. & H. FERRABEE, who have from timo 
in tune materially improved their construc- 
tion, and can refer to a sale of between 4,000 
and 5,000 of them, os the beat proof of their 
utility and Ihe general satisfaction which they 
have givon. 
Tlie Machines offered this year liy J. & H. 
FERRABEE are superior lo any yet pro- 
duced, being perfectly adapted for culling the 
Grass on Lawns and 
Verge*, and between 
liower beds; w bile their 
strength and durability 
have been increased, 
and their management 
simplified. Any person 
can use them effec- 
tually without the least 
practice. They can ho 
adjusted to cut various 
lengths of grass, and 
will produce a more even and uniform surface than the most skilfu 
mower. The grass is cut best when dry, so that a machine can be 
employed at the most convenient time to Ihe workman, and more than 
double the work may be done with the 6ame manual labour limn is 
requisite with a scythe.
