Spanish and Shanghae Fowls. 
T HE subscriber has for sale fowls of these celebrated breeds. The 
Spanish are from three to seven months old, and the oldest of the 
pullets have laid regularly for two months. Both cocks and hens are 
of a glossy black color, with the large single comb, and white ear- 
patch which distinguish this race. No fowls, probably, combine in so 
great a degree as these, the advantages' of hue quality of flesh and 
abundant production of eggs, with great beauty of form and plu¬ 
mage. The Shanghaes comprise both the red or yellow, and the 
white. The latter have bred this year entirely uniform in color—no 
variation from pure white having appeared in several broods. 
N. B. In a previous advertisement it was stated that the Spanish 
fowls would be exhibited at the State Fair at Rochester. They were 
not shown there—an accident preventing them from being sent.

A Choice Farm in Ohio for Sale,

dred and twenty-five acres cleared, and in a high state of cultivation.

• October 13, 1851. 
This company are now organized and ready to receive applica¬ 
tions for insurance. It is confidently believed that the owners of va¬ 
luable animals will avail themselves of the advantages offered by this 
mode of protection. If fire, life and marine insurances are proper 
and expedient, so is live stock insurance: the reasons for insurance 
are equally applicable to all. 
The company have adopted such rates as, they believe, will fur¬ 
nish the means of paying ordinary losses, without resort to an assess¬ 
ment. But to guard against extraordinary losses, which may arise 
from contagious diseases or epidemics, it becomes necessary to re¬ 
quire premium notes. - 
' To the Owners of Horses and Live stock. 
Office of theJVorthem New-York Live Stock Ins. Co., ) 
Plattsburgh, August 16, 1851. J 
The Directors of the above Company, incorporated by the Legisla¬ 
ture of the State of New-York, at its extra session in July, 1851, re¬ 
spectfully request your attention to the following facts bearing on this 
subject. 
1st. Value of this class of property. By the census of 1845, there 
were at that time in the State of New-York, as follows: 
Horses , 
One-half a million,. 505,155 
Neal Cattle , 
Over two millions,... 2,072,330 
Cows milked, 
Nearly a million,. 999,490 
Sheep , 
Over six millions,. 6,13,855 
Hogs, 
Over one million and a half,. 1,5S4,344 
Without making any estimate of ihe value of this property, it is 
apparent that it is immense; extending to every inhabited spot, and 
essential to the health and comfort, almost to the existence of the in¬ 
habitants 
2d. These animals are subject to disease and accident. It is asser¬ 
ted by a Vermont Company, engaged m the Live Stock Insurance, 
as a fact which cannot be disputed, that the aggregate loss upon this 
species of properly throughout New-England, is greater than the 
losses by fire; at all evenls, it is a fact undoubted that the annual loss 
is very great, and the owner is left unprovided with any means of se¬ 
curity against the hazard incident to this description of properly. 
3d. The knowledge of this risk is one of the leading hindrances to 
improvement in the breed of that useful aud noble animal, the horse. 
Men of capilal are slow to invest, large sums in a valuable animal, 
whose loss they must every day risk, to the amount often from five 
hundred to a thousand dollars, in every valuable breeding horse. 
With the ample security to be afforded by sound Insurance Com¬ 
panies, the investment of capital in horses and live stock may be 
made as safe and safer than the carrying of Freight on the seas and 
inland waters. Marine Insurance has rendered this last business 
steady and profitable; while without it. it would want the confidence 
which that branch of business now commands. The absence of this 
Insurance in the case of live stock is universally felt, while the own¬ 
er of real estate can command half or two-thirds of its value when 
needed for an emergency. 
While the owner of the ship, the play thing of the wind and 
waves,” may obtain any reasonable advance; the owner of equally 
valuable property, invested in horses and cattle, cannot obtain a dol¬ 
lar. The only exception being fat cattle destined for market. In 
vain does the owner of the horse appeal to his industry or usefulness. 
The answer is, that his property is liable to disease and accident, and 
that as security it is utterly worthless. 
4th. The Insurance principle comes in, and does for him what Life 
Insurance has done for the young beginner in trade, taking away the 
risk arising from the uncertainty of life. 
It will do for him what Fire Insurance has done for the owner of 
personal properly; placing him nearly on a level with the owner of 
real estate. 
Your aid is respectfully solicited in behalf of this company, the first 
chartered in this state for this object. The Directors intend it shall 
be prudently conducted, and one which shall deserve the confidence 
of the public. 
Terms of insurance will be furnished by the agents of the company. 
George Moore, Secretary. JAMES FARR, President.
