and philanthropy—l wish Mr-Toombs, of Georgia,
1 could hoar as thavb fool as I have felt,
thereoltnlof tho sid story from an American
lady's liys, of what oesurrod in Granadai he would
wihoo under the leoolleotiOn'of his denunciation
of Oommodoro'Pauiding, iri his Senatorial seat, for
-having soohred and rontovod this sooundrel from
the theatre of-his’eriofmHiosVand he would blush
that his voice had ever been raised in his praise.
Had- half the' misery- dispensed to others, or the
least portion of it, l>y tho hands of this ruthless
man, roaohed tho family okthie eloquent Senator,.
he woald-have felt a'different emotion thrilling his
manly bosom." ‘■ y ■ s : , :
And shall we go to; war for-such a man as
Walker, who has brought all this diGgraco
upon tho' Amcricim name ? If tile British
cruisers, aball ! prevent him orbismeu from
landing on-the soil of Central America, and
ibis is done for no.nitorior.object, in violation
of, existing treaty obligations, wo say, let
them do it. Those who suppose that the
Southern people hro ready to make such an
iact : ,a cause of popular commotion, greatly
'mistake : their character. , The people of tho
South.aro not ready to jeopardize all their
■grave interests, after snoli a commercial col
lapse ah we have passed through', merely to
gratify, a freebooter, whose path has been
crimsoned with-the blood of sorno oi our best
citizens.
We have confidence in Nr. Buchanan that
he will not pander to tho sontimcnttliatwould
make,cithor of the causes alluded to tho pro
text fordiificulties with tho great Powors with
which we are now at peace. , A foarful re
sponsibility will devolve upon' the men who
may disregard the public feeling on this sub -
joct, and, for their own ambitious purposes,
sock to plunge our happy, country into a
bloody and bootless war. None of the objects
upon which our people are united could ho
promoted' by such a catastrophe. It would
not settle moro firmly' tho Monroe doctrine.
It would not secure to us more friendly ra
liitiom; witli Moxico. - It would not niako
tho Isthmus of Nicaragua less hazardous
than It has been.lt would certainly lose jo
ns that of Tohuantopoc. But it would un
settle business, disorganize Congress, bankrupt
the South, bankrupt the treasury, and throw us
back for many years in the race of prosperity
and civilization. What'American desires to
see such disasters brought upon us 7
Now is the time for statesmen. Politicians
may talk war for thoir own selfish ends, and
mistaken rulers mriy look to it as a reseno
from a. calamitous domestic, policy. But the
masses see nothing in such a remedy but in
conceivable wickedness, and woe be to those
who shall-disregard the warnings of tho
times! ■ ■ •
There is about as much necessity for war

Washington, Dec. 14,1858..
- It Is said that as Napoleon approached Paris,
• after his landing from Eiha, some singular trims*
formations'. took, plnce aoioDg the French politi
cians,’ When the shadow of.the <* Little Corporal”
had. disappeared, those-who had been neutral
servile daring ;.hj3 refgp, and those who had
'waited in hls anle-oharfber anticipating his waqts
and-representing his opinions, broke out in the
most extravagant vituperation of his personal and
public character; hut when he oame'hnok to the
shores of “ Laßelle France,” abd as he approached
its great capital, hiafow of ttie one day were
transformed, into hiS‘ friends of the other. When
.the rumor-first ■ reaohed Paris- that he had landed
and was on his way; these, parasites denounoed.lt
da-a fablo,and added r that tho “ usurper” and
/‘ tyrant” would notdaremake his return. But
os item after item indicated that he was surely
coming, they began to amond their bitterness, to
drop their and by the timo ho had
made his entree, thoso Who had held him as only
worthy the .execration of 'mankind foil almost
prostrate upon their faoes as they weloomed “ he
Gtande'JEmpereur ’’ s
Something like this is manifested, as it booomes
apparent that he, who,at this day Is unquestlon
ably the most eonspiouous public man in our ooun
, try, is approaobiog the city of New York-In tho
good ship ‘“Black Warrior,” —not insignificantly
named Warrior,” because It bears upon its proud
deck one who,bos.contended against tho hosts of
isectionalism, and who comes baok from the warm
hearts and smiling fields of Louisiana, having re
asserted, there the samo principles whioh hb de
clared at bis own Western home, and among his
own friends. 1 Men who have boon denouncing him.
os a Blaok Republican, as a traitor, and as worthy
only (to use Judge. Black’s polite expression) pf
“chains and douth,” now see tho rising sun, but
do not see’his spots. Thooffiee-holdcrs, who were
■so, load dn' bis denunciation, now whisper his
/praises. In corners, and the atmosphoro, lately
laden with oursos of the loader of a supposed
forlorn hope, begins to bo balmy with the praises
of the “ successful rebel.”
;. bet,,me do justice, however, to the extreme
Southern men. : Thoy do not deserve to be dossed
in the category of men having changed their opin
ions. ’ While many of them'contlnuejto differ from
Judge Douglas, because he has fearlessly and) as 1
bjelleve, 1 correctly interpreted the Cincinnati plat
form, still all disinterested men from tho South
now here publicly denounce the extraordinary
notion of 1 the Senate in degrading him from his
‘rank at thehcad of tho great Committee on Terri
tories toaseoonitfary position. ‘ I forbear mention*
log names, but I could give you a list that would
startle you, including some of the first men in the
South, in which this sentiment is boldly and un
hesitatingly enunciated. ' One of the most eminent
Southern democrats said to mo only yesterday,
“The Pr'esidonbis surrounded by.a olnssofmen
.who. are. resolved to rulo or ruin, ntd the policy
they insist upon Is alike despotic and cruel. ”

'Hr.' Phillips, the new member of the ,Committee

■,Mr. hTUABT, of Michigan, requested Mr Wilson
to make his motion frr ihe forty-ninth parallel, which
Mr. Wilson professed himself tumble to do, as the
road would thereby lose Its central character.
On the suggestion of Mr. HnonKtilOK, or California,
Mr Wilson assentod to piike bis mot on that the
road fhoutd run letween the thirty-fifth and forty-seo
of Virginia, thinking it unlikely that the
h’ll.could pans both hottfliß at this session, moved that
It be laid on the table.

Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, spoke on his amendment
maintaining that thd roul should be located not mi
political, but on commercial' and poverumcnlal consi
derations. 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.
Mr. Wilson moved to postpone the debate till Mon
day next, for the purpose of allowing Senators un
derstand the subject more thoroughly with its compli
cations
Mr. Mason considored that there was no use <o post
pone the subject fn* that purpose, as it is not gusceptl
ole of belrg understood.
Mr Gwin insisted that the consideration of tho sub
ject should not he postponed.

emigrant route and mail service from the meet eligible
point in Minnesota to Pugrt’s Sound.
- Mr Kkllo.oo, of Illinois, offered a resolution calling
upon the Bewet&ry. of the Treasury to furnish a state
ment of the amount of productions of the different
British colonies, that wero imported into the United
SU’es under the reciprocity treaty. Also, the amount
jpiported from the British colonies, from 1840 to the
time oT signing the treaty in 18&r>, inclusive, with the
exports and tlio aipognt of revenue received under the
r?clprociiy treaty.
The resolution was adapted.
Tho House then resumed the consideration of the
WAtrous impeachment case.
Mr. Ward, of Now York, argued that there is ert
denca of guilt Against Judgo Watrous aod that an in
vestigation wasaae for the preservation of a pure judi
ciary, as well as to the o<j.i»try and the accused
Mr. Clark B..Cocijrank. of Npv York, contended
that every member who votes for the irapeatbigent of
Judge Watrons affirms that ho is guilty of high crimes
and mlsdemnsnont. Tho House before voting sboultj
have sufficient evidence pn which to vote for a convic
tion, but In his opinion that presented in the documents
submitted was inefficient for t bs purpose.
Mr. Vallanoiobaai, of Ohio, argued that Impeach
ment in not a crimioal proceeding, nor an engine of opr
pression wtth ps. Wo are not to look for precedent to
the common law of England, or the usages of Parlia
ment, bnt only to the Constitution of tho Uoitpd
Ststes, and onr own practice andop if. Impeachment
acts as a restraint on public oftesrs, and especially on
judges, and provides for their removal in cage oi
demeanor, which means misbehavior. He \rould vote
fbrTbeimpiienment. " - - *
-Mr Batah, off Tpxaa. said that theiegUlaluro of
Texa«, in its resolutions, no * pinion as to the
gdllt or innocence of Judge Watfops, but the Repre
sentatives in CoDgress from that State wore requested
to sea that a full investigation of the charges against
him was made He trusted that tlie House would
weigh wall the truths, and not be swayed by prejudice,
and that, if Judge. Watrpus was innocent, this fact
rhould be made clear by the B‘aate of the United
States. He produc-d the private nopors of the lute
General Austin to show tint the La VVgi laud title, the
subject of which bad repeatedly beeo allu'ed to in con
nection with Judge Watrou*, was not forged.
Blr. Reagan, of TexMi contended that the title was
a hue And infamous forgery, there being no legal docu
ment to show Its validity.
Mr. B«Yan, of Texas, in response, asked whether Ms
colleague imputed Improper motives to him in sayipg
that he (Bryau) intended to crush down the investiga
tion.
Mr Rbaoan disclaimed any imputation of improper
motives, but said that his colleague had been induced
to take a wrong position. He believed that bis col
league thought what he stated to bo true, god acted
from conscientious motives
Air. Dbyaw said that he never shrank from any duty,
and remarked that his colleague hud called lu question
the veracity of the statement he uado relative to tbe
La Vega title
Mr. Rxagan hoped thr.t hlscolleagno would uot insist
on a question of veracity between thorn.
Mr. Bryan remarked that he had desired to do jus
tire to an injured man charged with perjury, and hod
stated facte.
Further explanations were made by Messrs. Bc&gm
And Bryan.
- Mr Bingham, of Ohio believed that Jqdgo Watrons
was improperly mixed up and ioflueoeod by land specu
lations, and honre he was In favor of articles of Im
peachment. Adjourned.

Mr. Orne’s cross-examination continued by Mr. Bre

there had been'a deficit at our desk at 3 o’clock.’it
would have excited some remark; lam quito sure the''

meet the moraiug of tbe suspension, and that its bop

no exchanges on that day ; I know- that the Girard
Bank check was an actual deposit.; I know it to be a
depos’t; it was deposited and put into the Gira'd
Bank book ; tbe only reason for knowing it to be a de
posit was finding it in tho Girard Bankbook. •

handed to the note clerk to tho extent of $90,000, and ;
the particular nofea which wero missing from that han

that rote clerk This I propose to follow by showing
that Thomas Allibone, president, at a subsequent pe

At a prior period to the examination, but at asubsequ°nt <
period to tho notes being taken, had paid bßck, on an*'
count of those notes, $3O 000. and dlrrcted the clerk to

Philip 8. Kelley sworn—lam a banker ; In 1557 I
purchased from Mr Allibone promissory notes ; among
those note* were ono of FJ O. Koigbt for $2,019; two
or Joseph Howell A Co. for SS,COG each ; one of Penn
sylvania Railroad Co for $25 000 due November 2Gth ;
one of R x A Krook for $3 000; for one of Joseph Howell
A Co:, I got tbe notea of Thompson, Clark, & Yeung for
$2,601; and 33. O. Knight’s for $2,019, by direction of
Mr. AlllbODQ, president; I gave Mr. Allibone full value
for these notes, beneficial to the bank ; l negotiated
for these notes in the bank; I Baw Mr. Allibone iu his
room in the' bank; wont to my office, aud sent him a
check or value of the papers; I had tbe notes in our
possesaion before, and held them as collateral security;
I can’t state exaotly how loog they were in our posses
sion ; it might havo been a month; we held those
notes as collateral security for tbe balance the Dank of
Pennsylvania owed A. J, Ross A Co , for deposits in
the bank ; a proper discount was allowed to me for the
purchase of the paper* ; *a to any .questions involving
any geoor&l business, I must decline to answer"; one
check wa* on the Rank of Pennsylvania ; the terms of
the purchase were agreed upon on the 24th, and fixed
on tbe 25th or September.
To Mr. llrownter. The buxines* of the firm of Rob*
A Co. was banko-s, of thi* city; tho firm is dissolved
now ; the firm kept an nooiunt at the Rank ol Pennsyl
vania; we desirod collaterals for our account, and thus
got the notes ; my transaction with Mr. Allibone was
in the bauk, sod an president; I understood it to be
with the bank; I understood that on the 2itli Septem
ber it was desirable to realize what they could from
these securities; that wan the nubjsctof the Interview;
I relumed the value in check* and returned notes;
tho exchange note for Joseph Rowell won m.vJo a few
day* previouH to that; I gave full value »or these note*
in check* on the Bauk Of Pennsylvania; I have no
doubt of the checks being debited agaiast the account*
they were drawn against; Mr. Allibone mndo a very
earnest request to me to get the Howell uote back, Rnd
1 told him if ho gave mo those notes I have mentioned
T would give It to him; I suppose It w*« on Mr How
ell’s account that ho wa* so anxious ; [suppose Mr.
Howell wan anxious to pay hi* note bv hi* deposit in
the bank; I hfeard all this from Mr. Allibouo; that ex
change could have benefited no ono but Mr< Unwell;
It might be about the Olh of October that tho llouell
note was exchanged; the hank got full value lu this
transaction
To Mr Thayer. Mr. Newhall hAd nothing at all todo
with this transaction; bo never spoke to nio nboiit it,
or 1 to him; I had no Intercourse with him on the *ub
, joct; I never remember liaviog any intercourse with
bim on the business of tbo bank but once ; it had no
thing to do with this transaction whatever.
Here the court took a recess ef ten minutes.
To Mr. Loughead, The checks wb.ch I sentto Mr.
Allibone yore checks on tho lian)t of Pennsylvnilft,
among which was one of our check* for about $10,000;
neither of them was Mr. NewhMl’s check : they were
ebooks honestly got and Ijanostlv paid; these checks
bad not been ma ked “ g' od ’’ they were cheeks signed
by Thomas Allibone. president ; the exact amount qf
these checks I cannot say, one SIQ,OOU and tho other
$3,000 and odd , ~ . ....
To Mr lirewator. Those check* signed by Mr. Alu
bone, president, were not given to our firm on any in
divlduaraccount at all; the transaction oqt ofewhjoh
they arose, and krwblchthoy wore riven to us, was en
tirely ono with the bank, in which he hail not a parti
cle oflnterest that I am aware or; the aggregate of
our check and tbo president's was over $30,000 j tbe
checks represented a claim of ours agaiust the bank,
ami bad been given to tko firm by tho bauk for this
Claim; if tbo nmttpr had not been closed in the man
uer indicated, our Urw would havo drawn onitHftO
count, and I should infer th*t it was to provont that
that these bills wore sold ; the transaction of that sale
was to tbe benefit of tbo bank; at that time 1 coosl
dorod it highly beneficial to tho bftnk.
" Tolfr. 1 ougbnad. Our chtak for $l6 000 was for
about fbe b*lacm> wp bad In bauk ; we had beta holding
these note* as collateral pecurity fpr oqr balance; .this
$3O 000 of nolo* wan more than ample for our balance;
can’t remember when tbesi) checks were fjated; tpe
transfer took place on the 25th ; it was agreed upon oq
the 24th; it was figured aa of the GMli, the day of bur
nonmon; I hiui Mr Allibone'* checks in niy possession
*at that time ; the boneflt to the bank was that one did
not draw tbe money on the 24th, as money was-tight
and hardly any sale for piper at the tin e; if they had
been pres-uted T suppose I shoqld hdyo b«*eti palu-Hho
moruicg of tho 24th : I may tn mistaken ; themeeti.g
of the president hod intended to ihrowover the hank ;
it was either the 2Uh or 25th; Mr AlUbono did not.
personally, giro me any lesson to suppose th 4 the bauk
was about to cu/pon'l or any ouo 01-o from him those
checks were given us for duo by tho Bank of
Pennsylvania for interest on derosils. discount oh cur
rent and interest on exchange; my, in’crc'urse was al

Alleged False Pretence Case.—Yester
day afternoon a man named Ford, who carries on a
jiotrtshing business in the pawnbroking line, in co
-operation with a man named Wra II Dugan, bad a
hearing before Recorder Hnoti. From tbo evidence
elicited at the bearing, it seems that a young man named
Richard Keevie o*>lled on Mr. Ford professionally, for
the purpose of raising twonty-flve dollars, offering as
collateral a railroad bond, nominally worth $5OO,
actually worth about $2OO. Ford took Al>e bond and
left the house fora short time, when he returned and
told Mr. Keevie he could only raise fifteen dollars.
Mr. Keevie toi k the money, and when reflompUqn day
arrived he returned tojredeem bis bond, when Fora *B
- him that it was not in his possession, but
that If he would return him the money be thought he
tpild secure the tond. Keevie, howover, was not
willing to trust the money unless he was sure of
getting the bond, aud accordingly had them arrested.
They were held to bill to answer by Recordor linen.
The prosecution is hrc. light under a recent act of As-*

There was a lively business at the stock board to-day,
confined chiefly to bonds; Catawissa, Elmira, and North
Pennsylvania Railroad botds, being In demand and

fancy stocks
A law suit Is likely to arise respecting the construe-
tion of the act passed in 1867, reducing the three-mill
tax imposed upon real aDd peisonal estate by the set of
April 29, 1844, to a tax of two mills and a hal f . In
July last, the City Treasurer, in paying interest on
the city,debt, deduoted two and a half mills for this
tax, hut the Anditor (general'has since insisted upon
having three mills. He says, “ that the act did not
affect municipal loans, and that the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company should pay the three mills on the dollar
of the $1,000,000 subscription to thatcompany, by the
districts of Spring Garden and Northern Liberties.
Tho City Treasurer has had the following corres
pondence with Attorney General Knox on the subject •

It will bo very unfair to compel bondholders, who
have bought since tho last semi-annual interest was
paid, to Icae this deficiency In the amount of tho tax

ANNiTERRAnr op the Hook Missionary So
ojkty.—Tho twenty-third anniversary of this bwnetl*
cunt Philadelphia institution was held at Musical Fund
Hall, Iftntovcniug. Notwithstanding tbo ioctpiueucy of
the weather, there was a large attendance, and the pro
ceedings were of a most interesting character. The pro
ceedings of tho evoniDg were npeued with a prayer by
the Rev. John Chambors, which was followed by the
audienco singing—
• 11 Hall to the Lord’s anointed,” Ac.
Tho Rev. John Leyburn,|D D., next made a character-
Istieally eloquent address, at tho c'ose of which a piece
entitled Beautiful 9t»r” was sung by several young
ladies. Addresses were also made by Revs. Kingston
Goddard aud Win. J. R. Taylor.
From tho annual report, which was read by the secre
tary, we loam that the contributions to the fluids of
the society have materially fallen off during tho year.
The balauce in the bauds of the treasurer, December
16tb, 1857, w*s $185.20 ; whole amount received siooe,
$6,026 39—making, In all, $6,210.49 ; the amount dis
bursed, $6,2Q5 t)2, leaving a balance Iu the treasury, on
the present iuetaut, of $4 87.
As an illustration of the liqmane work of the sr.qiety,
It was stated in tho report that during the year- just
closed 2,070 famßies had been assisted by It; that 7,665
via ts were made by the missionaries; that within thq
eaipe period 2,904 orders were given for fuel, food,
articles of clothing, &o .to relieve the ueedy also,

and 363 copies of the Iloly Borlptures, bad been grain),
toualy distributed, aud 259 senuons preached, 713 re
ligious meetings hold, and 100 funerals attended.
Iu the work'of prooaring permaunit bourns for
chUdron, the society hss performed a good work during
the year. The pernicious and demoralizing practice of
street-begging was denounced in thn report, and the
people cautioned agamßl encouraging it in any way.

through a whispering tube at the bottom of the ocoan ?
Iq tho open air sound travels at the rato of 1/142 feet in

Another Triumph I—Messrs. James O* Spear
Sc Co.— Gentlemen : Recently suffering the misfortune
of having my store destroyed by fire, I fortunately
saved a major part of ray stock of Jewelry, by having
it in my Safe, (of EVANS Sc WATSON’S celebrated
make,) whilst nearly everything else was destroyed.
The Pa f o, though standing in an exposed position,
subjected first to the action of fire, and tbon of water,
(of which au immense body fell upon it from the upper
story,) preserved its valuable contents in perfect coti
dition, and I have it nowin my store ready, if needs
be, for another trial. I gladly testify to the superior
qualities of these Safes, which 1 regard »s the best se
curity from fire and burglar yet known'. To all who
may want a truly reliable Safe,' I would say, get one of

tIOKS—FIRM.
Norristown, Dec. Ist, 1858.—8ome time laßt night
the flouring millof Mr. Joseph Fezone, in Norristown,
Pa , was entered, and one of Farrel, Herring, A Co.’s
best patent Powder-Pitooif Lock and 'Safe *
WAS BLOWN OPEN WITH POWDER,
and $l,OOO iu cash taken out and carried away. This
sa r e is now in front of Evans A Watson's store, No 26
Bouth Fourth street, where we moet respectfully Invite
the public to call, and examine how those New Yorkers
make their safes. They screw their doors together with
the smallest kind of ctst-lron screws, and from the ap
pearance of this safe, it could not have taken more than
one musket load of powder to blow the above safe open.
October 18th, 18fi8 —Three thieves entered the
Flouring 61111 of Messrs. Dorraneo Sc Boron, in Bristol,
Pa., and tried all night to blow open their Safe with
powder, which had $250 In cash, but did not succeed in
getting it open. Their Salamander Safe was manufac
tured by •
They have a few more for sale, of the same kind, at
their store, No 20 South FOURTH Street, Phlladel
pbia.
N. U.—We find in The Press, of December 4th, the
following:
11 All our safes are warranted to give perfect satisfac
tion, or the money will be returned.
We, EVANS & WATSON, would a*k all ptrtfes
having Farrel, Ilerriog, Sc Co.'s Patent Champion
Safes to take advantage of the above offer, and
return them and get their money, as they will find
that the composition with whioh the Safes are fill'd
(a large portion being oil of vitriol) will eatou,t alt the

Philadelphia Manufactures.— Farrel, Her
ring, A Co.’s Patent Champion Sakks.— The great
and rapidly increasing demand for these well-known
Fireproof Pafea seems to have roused the jealousy of
some inferior makers, and no pains are spared, or no
stone left unturned, in the attempt to stem tho tide of
puhlio opiuion It is too late now—we have distanced
our competitor^; and grateful for the discrimination of
a discerning public, we shall continue earnest in the
endeavor to furnish the best security from fire, or
thieves, to be found in this or any other market.
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. We recently

U7* Messrs. J. Burnett Sc Co.—l caunot refuse to
state the salutary effect in my own aggravated case of
yoor excellent Hair Oil—(Cocoaine.) *
- For many months my hair had been falling off, until
I was faarful of loslug it entirely. 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.
Yours, very truly,
