INCIDENTS OF TRE'WAR.
A SOLDIER'S ADVENTURE WITH Air ALLWATOR.—
A soldier, writing from Bayou Bluff, Louisiana, to
his sister in Albany, relates the following adventure:
"Now that I am on the alligator chapter, I will
tell you the adventure that I had with one. I
iiaVe always been anxious to obtain some portions
of an alligator to carry home as a curiosity. One
.day,
.while returning from one of the outposts, I
put into Alligator Bayou.' An alligator swim
ming shows but two little humps above water, the
larger one at his eyes and the other at his nose,
and it requires a marksman of no mean skill to
kill one. I soon, fell in with a number of them,
and picking out the largest one I tired. He turned
on his back, his feet quivered in the air, his
jaws opened, and he sank. I paddled to the spot,
and after poking in the weeds a short time with
my paddle, I brought his lordship to the surface.
I struck him several times wjth my paddle and held
,him to the aide of the canoe, to make sure that he
was dead, After a good deal of pulling and prying
I managed to get him into the boat, taking care to
'turn his head to the bow. He had hardly struck the
bettom of the boat when hie eyei and mouth opened
with a start, and his tail swept from side to side
with the force of a sledge-hammer. In an instant I
comprehended my situation. 'To jump out and
swim for shore wee to fall into the jaws of a do
%en of the hungry reptiles, and my only salvation
was to keep out of the reach of his tail by push
ing him toward the bow with my paddle, the canoe
being so narrow that he could not turn around and
face me. At length, by throwing his head over the side
of the boat, he got his bead toward me and made
a charge with his jaws wide open. For once in my
life, I think I was thoroughly frightened. In an in
stant I plunged my paddle down his throat. His
jaws closed on it like a vice, and he was quiet for a
moment, and I had time to draw my pistol and
send two balls through his head. He now lay quiet,
but I saw that he was by no means dead, and 1
loaded my pistol preparatory to another attack;
but as he did not feel disposed to renew hostilities,
I paddled swiftly down the Aream, and landed at
the firateonvenientlToint. I *en paid the last re
spects to his alligatorship, by sending another ball
entirely through his head, and went on my way re
joicing. I did not succeed in getting the desired
trophy, for alligatorsiare like snakes, 'their tails
do not die until sundown,' and every time I would
touch him his tail would fly from side to side with
such force as to endanger my bones. I think I shall
never handle another alligator until-his head and
tail are cut off.”
TH3 STORY OF- Two Boraarra.—The Vicksburg
correspondent of the Missouri Republican narrates
the following singular incident: , 1" lately saw at
the headquaters of Colonel Slick's brigade, two
3ninnie bullets, which had . once told a history. One
was a rebel bullet of English manufacture, smuggled
over by our dear brethren in Britain to shoot their
dear brethren in America. The other was a national
ball, of a Springfield rifle type. The former was fired
from a rific•pit at Jackson, at our skirmishers. The
latter was fired from our - line of skirmishers at the
rifle-pit. They met midway in the air, were welded
by the compact, and fell harmlessly to the ground.
They are now firm friends, sticking each to the other
closer than a brother, or a lover."
A SOLDIBR'S STURM SPERM—The Cleveland
herald records the following: "At the great Union
meeting at Troy, Miami county, on Thuraday last,
was a returned soldier who had lost one leg at
Vicksburg. lie Was welcomed by hie friends, and
one of them—a Vallandigham Democrat—entering
into conversation with the soldier remarked, You
Was a Democrat whea you enlisted, and I suppose
you have come back a „Democrat.' The soldier re
plied, 'Tes, I was a Democrat when I left, and I am
a Democrat That's right,' replied his friend,
triumphantly, 'and of course you will vote for Val
landigham,, looking around to gain the attention of
the crowd to the answer. 'My God, how can It'
said the soldier, as he - rained his eyes to the crowd
and put his hand on the unhealed stump of his leg.
" Was not that an eloquent 'slump' apeech I"
SPORTS AND AMUSEMENTS rx OAMP.—The mono
tony of camp life is 'occasionally varied with sports
or amusements of some sort. Near headquarters
is a field of considerable extent, and there, on an
afternoon when the sun is not too intensely hot,
the lovers of horse-racing may enjoy themselves
to the fullest extent. Sometimes as many as two
hundred horsemen assemble on the field, and each
may try the mettle of his steed in turn if he is so dis
posed. Money to the amount of two or three hundred
dollars changes hands as rapidly as it does on the
Union course. Many of the officers have colored
servants, picked up here and there in the country
marched through. Some of these servants are of
pure African blood, and possess all the peculiarities
of their race. One in particular excites general mer
riment by his songs and antics. Three or four of
them often assemble at the officers' quarters of an
evening, and keep the fus going for hours. Singing,
dancing, bones, and tamborine playing are the
amusements of the hour, and are executed in true
negro style and spirit. The minstrel, George Wash
ington, takes his position near a tent, puts one foot
forward, throws his head back, and then starts off'
with some wild stuff, not possessing even the poor
merit of a rhyme, accompanying the chant with
bones; another rattles the tam borine, and a third
throws himself into all imaginable attitudes in hie
frantic efforts to "keep step to this music of Union."
The officers look on approvingly, and, after a couple
of hours of push entertainment, all but the negroes
are tired of it, and the performance closes; all retire
to their tents, and sleep and silence reign supreark—

Artemus on the Draft.
[Artemus Ward (Mr. Charles F. Browne) hes is
ue d the following " Circular :)7]
0 - 11WIILAR No
As the undersigned has been led to fear that the
law regulating the Draft was not wholly understood,
notwithstanding the numerous explanatory circu
lars that have been issued from the national capital
of late, he hereby issues a circular of hie own; and,
if he shall succeed in making this favorite measure
-nlore clear to a- discerning public, he Will feel that
he has not lived in vain :
I. A young man who is drafted and inadvertently
goes to Canada, where he becomes embroiled with a
robust English party, who knocks him around so as
sio disable him for life, the same occurring in a li
censed bar-room on British soil, such young man
cannot receive a pension on account of said injuries
from the United States Government, nor can his
heirs or creditors.
11. No drafted man in going to the appointed ren•
dezvoue will be permitted to go round by way of
Canada on account of the roads being better that
way, or because hie " Uncle William" lives there.
M. Any gentleman living in Ireland, who .was
ratver in this country, is not liable to the draft, nor
are our forefathers. This latter statement is made
for the benefit of those enrolling officers who have
acted on the supposition that the able-bodied male
population of a place included dead gentlemen in the
cemeteries.
IV; The term of enlistment is for three years, but
any man who may have been drafted in two places
has a right to go for six years, whether the war lasts
that length of time or not—a right this department
hopes he will insist on. -
V. The only sons of a poor widow, whose husband
ie in California, are not exempt, but the man who
owns stock in the Vermont Central Railroad is. So,
also, are incessant lunatics, habitual lecturers, per
sons who were born with wooden legs br false teeth.
Blind men (unless they will acknowledge that they
"can see it"), and people who deliberately voted
for - John Tyler. A. W.
EVERY MAN TO MARE HIS OWN ICE.—Just as
we ate beginning to become anxious about the
quantity of ice remaining on hand among the deal
ers in this city, who, following a recent example of
the coal dealers, in consequence of a threatened
scarcity, suddenly double the price, (just as if the
raising of the price made the article any more plen
tiful !) we can breathe more freely under the assu
rance that we can have as much ice as we need
without being indebted to the monopolists.
All Paris. is rejoicing in a recent discovery of a
method of manufacturing it in a speedy and simple
manner, and at a small expense. The machine is
styled La glaclere a bascale. From a drawing and de
scription now before us we gather the folio wing:
A cylinder of metal—tin will answer—with a
movable cover at one end, to be kept tightly in its
place by a screw when shut ; with two openings, one
at each end, to receive through two funnels the
materials used ; and a discharge cock at one end
to discharge the, contents when the cylinder is - to
be emptied, is all the apparatus required. This
cylinder, when properly charged, is placed on a pair
of rockers, so that a seesaw motion may be obtained.
To convert five hundred French grammes of water
into ice (each gramme being nearly seventeen
grains avoirdupois) it is necessary only to place in
this cylinder or well twelve hundred grammes of sul
phate of soda and eight hundred grammes of hydro
chloride or muriatic arid. Into this preparation or
bath, says the inventor, place a form or vessel contain
ing the water to be frozen, a bottle of champagne to
be /rapped, or any other material required to be
frozen. Close the cover, screw it fast, and then for
Seven or eight minutes give the cylinder or well a
See-saw motion on its cradle; and you obtain the
desired result. A solid block of ice of five hundred
grammes may be produced by this operation. All
Yam has been running to see the machines at the
rue de PArbe, sec. No. 60, where its effects are pub
licly exhibited. These machines are rapidly sold at
from fifty francs to one hundred and twenty, accord
ing to the size. A late number of the pictorial
paper Dlllustration gives a drawing and description
sufficiently intelligible to enable any of our metal
workers to manufacture them. If we may believe
the half of what is said, our dependence for cool
drinks will no longer be upon the ioemen, but on
the chemists. Evening Post.
A " CiAsi-Baxiii" IN Taw ENGLAND.' A large
number of Western citizens, mainly from Chicago
and Milwaukee, have been paying,- by cordial
vitation, a visit to their friends in the East, -At
Portland they were treated to a famous New Eng
land "clam-bake," a feast served on an island to
aome 2,500 persons. A Chicago journal correspondent
thus describes it :
Upon the ground, in a space eight feet in width
by forty-five feet in length, were-placed smooth,
round stones, about the size of a person's head, and
not very near together. Upon these, early in the
morning, had been kindled a fire of three cords of
wood. This had burned down to a -- coal, and the
atones were-hissing hot. Over these stones was
placed a sixteen-inch layer of rockweed, just from
the water and dripping wet. Then, on the top of
this, was placed sixty bushels of soft-shelled clams;
ten bushels of oysters, one hundred lobsters, sixty
dozen of eggs, one hundred pounds codflah, three
barrels of potatoes, and three barrels of green
earn. A sail was then' laid over the whole,
and about six inches of rockweed was placed
on top of it. Then the steam began to come through
in a dense, continuous volume. After. three-quar
ters of an hour the Sail was rolled back sidewise,
and there was the whole ""bake" cooked admirably,
and as clean as could be. And now the fun coin
menced, each one running with a plate to dip into
the winrow of clams, piping hot, the steam coming
up in `a great Veinal!, and hiding those on the oppo
site of the pile from view. Some darted into the
hot fog and came out with a plate of clams; othera
with a single oyster, another with , corn, another
with potatoes and a lobster. A friend of ours from
the West came rushing past us (fearfully demoral
ized by the hot steam) holding in his hands the legs
of an enormous lobster—some luckier individual
getting the balance of the fish and claws. We in
quired what be had got. "I've got them !" he ex
claimed, holding up the legs of the lobster, " but
what in thunder they are I don't know." -He had
never seen a lobster before. Bushel baskets were.
filled with clams ; others with the various other edi
bles, fresh from the kilnpand conveyed to the tables
by the attendants, the grass being dotted over with
small parties enjoying themselves to the fullest ex
tent. Four bushels of charming fish chowder had
been prepared in a large kettle, and this was relished

A CONSIDERATION.—" Oan any good come out of
Nazareth?" asks the Tribune. Oen any truth come
out of the Herald—or get into it? Accidents will
sometimes happen, and newspaper letters are often
printed without editorial revision. An oversight of
this kind evidently occurred on Saturday night, in
the Herald office, for on Sunday morning that paper
published a letter from a correspondent in New Or
leans, recently arrived there from the interior of
Texas, who says :
"There is nothing more aggravating to ' loyal
Southern men' than the attempts of a certain
class of demagogues at the North to force upon
them conditions of peace and slavery without con
sulting in any manner the people most interested in
the future of the rebel. States. Let me here say
that, coming from Texas as I do, and so recently,
too, .I can say that the loyal men of that State (and
there are thousands) are willing and do endorse the
Administration in all its war measures, and are
waiting to assist in putting duwn the rebellion by
any measure or movement, no matter what it may
be, that has for its aim the crushing out of treason.
There is a class of semi-oath of allegiance, property
saving, loyal-traitor men, who have objections' to
some of the measures calculated to bring some
scoundrels into due obedience to the law, - and give
them some ideas of their duty to their country and
their country's God.
-
"The truly loyal men desire to see peace—indeed
are anxious for it ; but with it must come the sure and
certain destruction of the slave power and slavery in these
States. They will consent to no compromise that Will ex
tend any privilege to the • institution' beyond a very li
mited period of, time, and many are anxious to see it ex
tinguished from this moment, and would so order it were
they in possession of the power.
"Let the Administration be sustained until the
rebellion is crushed, and when peace is restored and
the laws obeyed, then, and then only, should men
look after party lines,' and this or that plank' in
those terrible platforms' upon which rests the airy
'castle of some snobby political demagogue."

COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE PR.OVOST
MARSHALS:—The position of a provost marshal is by
no means a popular one just now. The legitimate
duties of his post, arduous and exacting as they are,
are not the most annoying of his business hours. He
deserves the sympathy of the public, and is entitled
to indulgence for the errors he may commit. He is
expected not only to listen and determine upon a
hundred claims per diem of men who, notwithstand
ing their robustness and general health, strive to
convince him that they are the feeblest and most
decrepid men to be found outside the hos
pital; to settle disputed questions of youth
and old age, to impress it upon the minds
of scores of well-to-do young men *that there
is a distinction between their supporting their
mothers, and their mothers supporting them; to
prove that an affection of the heart which does not
exist, is no cause for exemption ; and that the certi
ficate of foreign consuls will not avail the men who
have exercised the rights of citizenship; the provost
marshal must not only waste six hours every day in
refuting false statements, and giving the lie to un
blushing affidavits, but he must bear an avalanche
of complaints and grumblings from , almost every
person in his district. If any draft was ever conduct
ed with a strict impartiality, it was that in Philadel
phia. In the hearing of the exemptions subsequently
the same impartiality and uniform management
have been equally conspicuous. One of the provost
marshals received a complaint yesterday,. from the
department at Washington, that there were too
many exemptions. No other explanation accompa
nied the communication. Why are there so, many
exemptions'? It is assuredly no fault of the enrol
ment boards. So far as we have been able to see, we
could not conceive that an examination. could be
conducted so rigidly. If it is complained that the
conscript is short sighted, he is obliged to bring more
evidence than his spectacles. The certificates of well
known and respectable practising physicians are in
most cases required. It must: be stated how •the
conscript became near•sighted, and if insufficient
causes are assigned, it creates a natural suspieion,
which requires the most explicit documentary evi
dence to clear up. It would not be a great deviation
fi ore truth, to say that every conscript tortures his
brain to find out whether he is, or is likely to be,
afflicted with some bodily disease. Many instances
have occurred' where the conscript has beseeched
his friends to suggest to him what bodily infirmity
he is in fact afflicted with. The amount of patience
required to make an - effective provost marshal
can scarce be realized. His decisions are appealed
from inthe most glaring ca ses,where the conscript has
no particle of justice upon his side. He creates
sympathy among his Melds, and those charged with
the enforcement of the conscription are visited with
the most abusive epithets. Nothing that they do is
right, though the conscript knows, as he knows
himself, that he is wrong. There is no district in
which we have heard more complaints than in the
First; and yet none conducts its affairs more openly,
and with a stricter impartiality. In our official ca
pacity we have visited the various headquarters,
and at some have been refused - admittance till after
hours. Capt. Lehman, on the other hand, con
ducted the business of his office with no appear
ance of secrecy, and invites any committee of gen
tlemen who might suspect irregularity to visit the
office and examine for themselves. If the appliort
tions for exemption are not granted, there is com
plaining as vehement as when others, rightfully en
titled to exemptions, are granted. Truly, it is no
sinecure position. The thirst for public offices
would soon vanish, if all had any resemblance to
that of a provost marshal. .
THE EXPLOSION AT FEANKFORD.—We
paid a visit yesterday to the scene of explosion that
occurred at Frankford, as has been mentioned in
The Press. The boiler had been in use a number of
years, and the explosion was probably caused-by a
flaw therein. It was pretty well burst open, but
hung together and fell at a distance of one hundred
yards, and not three hundred as reported by the
local telegraph. In its , flight it passed over three
dwelling houses. In its descent it struck a large pear
tree in a private yard, splitting it to the ground,
and then with a sort of hop, skip, and ajump, made
a retrograde, movement near the rear part of a frame
house. There were two men in the boiler room at
the time, and although the splinters, pieces of roof,
rafters, &c., fell thick around them; yet neither was
hurt. In point of feet, the danger was over before
the men had time to become frightened. At the
time the boiler went up , ' there were several hun
dred men standing about the provost marshal's
headquarters, in the vicinity of the foundry.
HOSPITAL ITEMS. -Richard Johnson,
aged 25, an engineer employed at Nr. Rowland's
rolling mill, near Penn and Maiden streets, fell on
some iron, from the roof of that establishment yes
terday afternoon, and considerably injured himself
about the head. Ete was removed to the Penn Hos
pital.
George Cropper, aged 40 years, a colored man, was
also admitted into the hospital, having had one of
his feet mashed by a car at Coates and. Nineteenth
streets. It is said that he 'placed a trunk on the
platform, when the car started before he had fixed
it, and in so doing, the wheel passed over his foot,
maiming him for life. It is alleged that the car
drove on as though nothing had happened, thus
leaving the injured man to his fate.
One of the press feeders, while at work in the
Inquirer office, had his hand mangled at a late hour
on• Wednesday night. He was admitted into the
hospital. The lacerated hand was amputated yes
terday.'

SHOCIUNG AcMDENT.—Yesterday morn
ing a young man, named Charles P. Blain, while
gunning in the marsh, a short distance below the
city, was shot, and shockingly wounded, by the ac
cidental discharge of his gun. He had shot a rail
bird, which fell on a bank. He got out of the boat
to pick it up, when he discovered over a dozen birds
on a bunch of reeds at a distance of thirty-five yards.
Becoming excited, he hastily caught hold of his gun,
one barrel of which was loaded. On pulling the
weapon toward him, the hammer of the lock struck
the woodwork, and the piece was discharged. The
load took effect in his right arm, tearing the flesh
from the bone above the elbow. His' companion in
the boat tied a handkerchief round the upper part
of the mangled limb and then hastened to shore.
He was promptly cared for by Surgeon Wildey, of
the army, after which he was taken to his residence,
in the Twenty-fourth ward.
BASICBALL.-- he Athletics will have a
fine game to-day, at Seventeenth. and Master, pre
paratory to their excursion to-Altoona , for the pur

are likely to have a match shortly, when the Hey
stoners take formal possession of their new ground,
in the rear of Moyamensing prison. Capt. Moore,
of the Athletic nine, is now• at home, and the public
may expect to hear from him soon. Malone will
pitch for the Athletics at Altoona.
BOY - DRoWNED.—At seven o'clock last
evening Ernest Rohner, aged 7 years, whose koarents
reside at 621 Powell street, was drowned while
bathing at Smith's Island. It seems as he dove into
the water another boy dove after him in sport, and
caught him by the legs. The unfortunate lad be•
came frightened , in consequence and was drowned.
Ilis body was recovered in a short time, but life was
entirely extinct.

Yesterday a young man was put on trial In this
court, charged with passing at a tavern In Eleventh
street, above Chestnut, three counterfeit-fifty-cent
notes. From the evidence, it appears that he stop
ped•in this tavern, in company with two friends, and
drank three times, on each occasion tendering a fifty
cent note. Before he left the place the bar-keeper's
suspicions as to the genuineness of the noteewere
aroused, and the defendant said he would redeem
them. He accordingly offered a ten-dollar note in
payment for the drinks, and the currency was re
turned to him. lie soon after left the place, but in
formation having been meantime given the pollee,
he was arrested, and upon his person were found
several of these counterfeit notes. The balance of
his money, some seventy-five or eighty-dollars was
good, He disclaims all knowledge of the currency
being counterfeit, and stated that he had taken them
in the regular course of business. He was intox.i•

THE POLICE.
The Sharpers at Their Work
A ride to Frankford, yesterday morning, developed
some points of general interest worthy of being
served up as an item. There may be some men en.
gaged in the substitute broking business who desire
to act honestly. There are others who may readily
come directly under the head of cut-throat scoun
drels. These are mostly shenie,- whose chances for
running the, land blockade has been materially
lessened and most effectually checked within a. short
time past. The " sheny brokers," as n general thing,
are aliens. They try to swindle the substitute ; the
substitute tries to outdo them in sharp practice, and
both together are decidedly in favor of cheating the
United States Government. There is no villainy
too mean for this class of substitute brokers to
practice. A scene took place on the car upon which
we were riding, which is significant of the fact that
some of the brokers have counterfeit, notes ready in
_case an opportunity should offer to pass any of them.
The conductor, a very genteel, mild. spoken, though
firm and resolute man, accosted a broker, and said,
"Sir, do you remember handing me a five-dollar
note last evening, to take out fares for five I"
The broker replied yes, he had handed him a note.
" Well, sir," replied the conductor, "that was re
turned to me from the office as a counterfeit, and
unless you redeem it, I shall have to be the loser."
"You gave it in at the office, did you 1" asked the
sharp broker.
" Yee, sir."
" Then, it was out - of your hands,"
"It was .until this morning, when it was returned
to me."
"How, then, do you or -I know," continued the
broker, " that it is the same note ; the man in the
office may have passed it on youl"
"That can't be so; it was the only note of that
denomination handed in; it Was the only one 'I
I can't change' it, because you let it go
from your hands. You can't schwear to it."
You will not change it, then," mildly asked the
conductor.
" No ; unless You sahwenrs I give It to you."
" Then must I lose it I"
"I can't help that."
The conductor went to the lower part of the car,
it tieing a two4tory one, and nothing more was
thought of the transaction until arriving at Frank
ford.
The next we saw of the broker, after the alighting
of the passengers, he was in the company of a police
officer, followed by the conductor, all on the way to
Magistrate Comly's office. In a little while they
returned, the broker having redeemed the note, and
was set at liberty.
It is not known that any of these brokers ever
risk arrest for picking pockets, but as they dock on
almost every car, it would be well for the other pas.
sengers,
if they have valuables about them, to be
always on their guard.
(Before Mr. Alderman White.]
Man Drugged and 11.9bbed.
Clara, King• was arraigned yesterday before the
police magistrate of the Fifth ward, on the charge
of drugging and robbing a man of a gold watch,
valued at $250, the sum of $5O in money, and a
gold ring which - he considered invaluable. The
evidence of this atrocious transaction sets forth
that the defendant lives at No. 1022 Fil
bert street. The prosecutor resides in the same
vicinity: It seems that he went , there on. Sa
turday evening last; and, being somewhat under
the influence of liquor, asked all the persons in the
place to take s. drink. Of course, no one refused.
He became quite jolly, and finally took a heavy
drink of liquor with which it is alleged the defend
ant had mixed a quantity of paregoric. When he
awoke, on Sunday morning, he found himself at the
second.etory window of the same house, his elbows
leaning on the window.sill, and his head resting on
his hands. He did not know how he got there,
and was heard to exclaim, "Oh, my head !" His
watch, money, and ring were gone. How they dis
appeared was as deep a mystery to him as was all
other worldly things during his moments of oblivion.
He subsequently ascertained some facts which in
duced him tO prefer the charge yesterday. At the
hearing ;Mary Johnson, a colored woman, testified
that OR Saturday evening she purchased some
paregoric at the drug store, corner of Tenth and
Arch streets, and handed it to Clara. She had ob
tained it at Clara's request. Witness saw Clara
pour it into some liquor. After the man was taken
up stairs Clara was seen to leave the room where
be was ;'she went out the back way, and returned
after a short absence. These are about all the ma
terial points elicited. The defendant was ordered
to find bail in the sum of $3,500 to answer the charge
as preferred against her.

AYE R' 8 COMPOUND EXTRACT
S,LRSA_PARILLA. —No one remedy is more needed
in this country than a reliable Alterative, but the sick
have been so outrageously cheated by the worthless pre
parations of Sarsaparilla abroad that they are disgusted
even with the name. Yet the drug cannot be blamed for
the impositions from which they have suffered. -Most ol
the"so-called Sarsaparillas in the market contain little
of the virtues of Sarsaparilla or anything else. They
are mere slops—inert and worthless, while a concen
trated extract of the active variety of Sarsaparilla com
pounded with Dock, Stillingia, lodine, etc., is, as it ever
will be, a powerful alterative and an effectual remedy.
Such is Ayer's Mitred of Sarsaparilla, as its truly won
derfnl cures of the great variety of complaints which r . e.
Quire an alterative medicine have abundantly shown.
Do not, therefore. discard this invaluable medicine, be
cause you have been imposed upon by something pre
tending to be Sarsaparilla. while it was not. When T on
have used Ayer's—then, and nottilltben, will yoaknow
the virtues of Sarsaparilla. sFor minute particulars of
the diseases it cures, we refer you to Ayer's American
Almanac, which the agent below named will furnish
gratis to all who call for it.

M. a Sadier;j3sa., Agent for Safes : 89, 1963.
DEAR Sift: During the night of May 19, ISA our Ore.
eery and Provision Store, at North Second and Willow
streets, took fire at about 2 o'clock A. hi and as the
store wee a two-story wood building it b¢nat rapidly,
and before the lire-engines could act upon the fire, our
whole stock of goods, including much .combrustible raze
terial, and amounting to over 612,0X1, were wholly de
stroyed. We had one of your No; 11 Chilled Iron Safes.
which was in the hottest part of tile fire, andlit came out
of the fire, ot in the least injured, except the melting off
of the name, plate.&,nd paint. The contents inside were
not affected in the Mast, and we consider the Safei rid as
good a protection against fire now as - before, and shall
use it, hereafter with increased. confidence. The look
works as pftwfeatly as before the fire..
Yours truIy,MOUNTS CROFT,
Late 429 North SECOND Street.
Attention to the above certificate is particularly re.
nnested, as it is the first trial of Luams SAFES in am
accidental fire in Philadelphia.
I would say to all parties who want a Fire and
Rarglar-proof Safe, that LILLIE'S wßoucarr
GRILLED AKIN SAFES are much the cheapest and the
only real Fire and. Burglar-proof Safes now made; and
to those who want simply a Fire-proof,l would say that
LILLIE'S WROUGHT IRON SAFE is fully equal in all
respects to any of the most-approved makers, and Le
gold at fully one-third less price;
I. also am receiving daily in exchange for Llllie's
Wrought and Chilled Iron Safes other Safes, and keep
constantly on hand a general assortment of HENNING'S,
EVANS & WATSON'S, and other makers, Malty of them
almost new, Which I offer at, and even below„anctioe
prices. •
All parties interested are particularly requested to oalf.
