“Dobs he know anything?” anxiously in¬ 
quired a friend, bending over the body of a 
naan who had fallen from the roof of a house. 
“ Don’t know, I’m sure,” the physician replied: 
“ he never did know anything, but you can't 
tell what effect the fall may have had upon 
him until he regains consciousness.”

T HE ATTENTION of owners of Farm Property 
and Residences Is Invited to the above Pyra¬ 
mid, showing the uniform and 6nre growth 
during the lust seventeen of! to 27 years of existence! 
of a fire insurance company whose charter limits its 
business to their class of property—the Agricultural 
Insurance Comp.my, of Watertown, if. Y. Tho 
figures represent the amount, set apart nt. the-dates 
given forthoPBOTEoriox or Policy Ilm.mow. 
Twenty-seven years of oatieut toil has made this 
the strongest and largest Cornjmny doing an exclu¬ 
sive Dwelling IIuMdchs In the United 8tnf.es, if not 
in the world. It now Issues -13,000 polices a year. No 
other like Company can show such growth and in¬ 
crease. 
The history of this Company proves that, a i.xnoa 
business, well scattered, managed with prudence, 
can he done with a, very small profit from each risk, 
and afford jierfoct scorn !ty, which will grow stronger 
every year. 
While nine-tenths of tho " Mutual " fire Insurance 
companies, and many of the Stock companies, have 
failed on account of reckless or extravagant mau- 
b^emeut. or doing too final 1 a business, the OLD 
AGRICULTURAL, by economy, energy and pru¬ 
dence, has every year added a substantial amount to 
lto Assets, f(>T the Indemnity of its patrons, and It 
now occupies a position in the confidence of the 
public flocotal to no other Company 
From year to year It spreads the base of tte Pyra¬ 
mid and gains strength. 
Extract vhoim Cuaktdh.—^ "ArtMse. This Com¬ 
pany is formed for the purpose of insuring Farmers’ 
Dwellings, Private Residences, Barns npd Outbuild¬ 
ings, with their contents, and other property not 
more hazardous,” ami bj strictly confined to this 
class of property.
