LOW PRICED AT LAST. 
The matchless illustrations of the Bible designed by Gustave Dore, the great 
French artist, have never sold at a popular price on acoount of the immense cost 
of the designs and engraving. The unvarying cost of the full set of these Illustra¬ 
tions has been $80. The lowest priced abridged collection has been $10. By an 
arrangement with the late artist’s Paris Publishers, we are able to print from the 
original plates a NEW DORE ALBUM, containing SIXTEEN of these 
supurb pictures for FIFTY CENTS, The finest calendered paper is used 
As a centre table ornament, the NEW DOB£ ALBUM is unexcelled. Price by mail only

The attention of owners of Farm Property and Residences is invited to the 
above Pyramid, showing the uniform and sure growth, during the last twenty 
of its 30 years of existence, of a fire insurance company whose charter limits its 
business to their class of property—the AGRICULTURAL INSURANCE 
COMPANY, of Watertown, N. Y. The figures represent the amount set apart 
at the dates given, for the protection of policy holders. 
Thirty years of patient toil has made this the 
STRONGEST AND LARGEST COMPANY 
doing an exclusive Dwelling Business in the United States, and probably it is 
not equaled by any Company of its kind in the world. It now issues 
70,000 POLICIES A YEAR. 
No other like Company can show such growth and increase. 
The history of this Company proves that a large business, well scattered, 
managed with prudence, can be done with a very small profit from each risk , and 
afford perfect security, which will grow stronger every year. 
While nine-tenths of the “ Mutual ” fire insurance companies, and many of 
the Stock companies, have failed on account of reckless or extravagant man¬ 
agement, or doing too small a business, the OLD AGRICULTURAL, by economy, 
energy and prudence, has every year added a substantial amount to its Assets 
f©r the indemnity of its patrons, and it now occupies a position in the confidence 
of the public second to no other company. 
From Year to Year it spreads the base of its Pyramid and gains Strength. 
Extract prom Charter— “Article S. This Company is formed for the purpose of insuring 
Farmers' Dwellings, Private Residences, Barns and outbuildings, with their contents, and other 
property not more hazardous,” and is strictly confined to this class of property.
