He regarded the road as necessary; and was in favor of leaving its location to the contractors, inasmuch as their interest will naturally induce them to He.loct the best.routo • Other Senators made remarks incidents! to the va rious amendments which have been offered to the bill, Mr. Shields, of Minnesota, being in favor of tho route from the Great Bakes to Puget bound; Mr. Doollttlo, of WißoooHlu, in favor of tho eastern terminus boirg anywhere between Breckinri'ge, Minnesota, and Fort Smith, Arkansas, and Mr. Iverson, oi Georgia, protest ing against the omitt-ion or latitude 82 Mr. Brown, of Mississippi! said he would Uka to seo the eastern left open clear to tlje mouth of the Mississippi, but did not like tho. Government to meddle In its location—the lnUuenco having a tendency to blight instead of to foster. Mr. Foot, of Vermont, was personally in favor of the road running through the famed south pass, and near the forty-second parallel, but as a fair compromise between the extreme North and Boutb, he would assent to have the western terminus at San Francisco, and the eastern on the Mississippi, leavirg the contractors to locate ihe passage. Mr. Green, of Missouri, cons’dered there wssno constitutional right to transfer to Interested capitalists the duty of locating the rout®. One trunk, with branches at either end, in all that can be built, and as the road is for tho Government use, tho Government ought to have the locating or it. Mr. Polk, of Missouri, moved an amendment, that the southern tormiqqs should be located at tho mouth of the Mississippi Mr. Davib, of M’drissippi. suggested its location at the southern boundary of tho United States. Whereupon, Mr. Gukrn, of Missouri, moved to amend that no terminus should be named, but that Congress should merely vole on tho road being built. Mr. DooLpTTLK here introduced a bill, as a substi tute whicli was not read, hut was ordered to be printed.

A few years ago, in tbo commencement of our enter prise, we fouud the repntation of a Philadelphia-made safe at a very low standard—not relied upon by utcd own constituency—and never heard of, with any compliments, beyond* its own immediate locality. After Borno three years of assiduous labor to establish a home reputation, and a homk ooi fidence in a good Fire-proof Safe, in this city, we commenced its manu facture, and now, after a farther experience of nearly five years more In manufacturing, we do cot assert too much when we say that, through our own efforts in the main, we have established a PuiLAnßi.pirrx ' Fire proof Safe reputation second to no other manufactured on this continent, ohd inferior to none in the world. Our own “Philadelphia made” Bafea can now be found in every ttate, from’Maino to California, and even in the Eastern market, in the city of-Boston (sending coals to Newcastle,) wo can claim some goed customers. - Availing ourselves of all modern improvements, and having riconlly exterded our space and facilities for manufacturing, we are now prepared to furnish Safes for all purposes—from the Dwelling-House aud Count ing-Room Firo Safe, to the atron jest Banker’s “ Hold fast” now extant. For money purposes, or who o more than ordinary security from burglars is required, we believe we havo furnished as perfect and complete protection as anything yet made; and where absolute protection is needed agaioet both fire and thieves, we have only to combine our Fire and Burglar proof Safes, to give anv amount of security required by the risk, or the wishes of tho purchaser. Mo believe the prior cnlycan gororn the cer tainty of an Ineffectual safeguard against the inoU ac complished aud dexterous burglars.

The skin upon my head became gradually more and more inflamed, so that I could not touch It without paia. This irritated con dition I attributed to the use of various advertised hair washes, whioh I have since been told contain eamphene spirit. By the advice of my physician, to whom you had shown yonr process of purifying the Oil, I* commenced Its use the last week in Juae. The first application al layed the itching and irritation; in three or fonr days tho redness aisd tenderness disappeared—the hair ceased to fall, and I have now a thick growth of new hair.
