The LOWEST RATES only are charged. This Offloe is distinguished for its liberality and promptness in the settlement of claims. £2,608,115 having been paid to insurers for losses by fire..

IT is not generally known that Cook ing can be accomplished much quicker, cleanlier, better, and cheaper by Gas than by any other method. The Gas Stove is portable, gives perfect and imme diate control over the heat, requires but little atten tion, is always ready, keeps the kitchen and house cool, and is only alight when actually In use. The difference between the cost of cooking by Gas, and by the ordinary mode, is much greater than usual at the present time ; for -while coals have lately advanced in pries 50 per cent, Gas has been be duued to 12s Od per 1000. The following statement, which is the result of many experiments, shows the relative oost of boiling a Gallon of Water in a copper kettle by means of a recently lighted coal lire, and by a Gaa Stove.- and the time required in each case :— Coal used W(Jod TlmQ Total per ton. used- employed. Cost. With Flro.. 4Jibs. l-sthofld 1 hour. ljd. With Gas.. 4 cubic feet at 12a Cd Twenty M per 1000. minutoa. ■' ' Therefore, ny the use oi- Gas, there is a saving of nearly two to one in money, and economy of two- Tnir.Ds is time, and the avoidance of trouble in lighting, smoke and dust.
