AKNIYEKSAKT OF THE HOME MISSIONABY
■Socistt!—The 28th anniversary of the Home Mis
aionary Society of this city was held last evening in
the Kev. Dr. Brainerd’s Ohmob, Fourth and Flue
streets. The audience was not so large ai might
have been expected. This was owing, no doubt, to :
the unsettled state of the weather. In the absence
of George H. Stuart, Esq , President of the soolety,
the Bev. Dr. Brainerd presided at the meeting. The
exercises commenced by sieging the hymn com
menting 11 All hail the power of Jesus 1 'name."
-After wbioh Dr; Brainerd read the 6fch ohapter of
Matthew. Prayer was then offered by theßov. Mr.
Goodsell, late or North Carolina. The President
•then stated, in few words, the purpose for which
the soolety was established, and said it is especially
to be commended because it was raised by Christian
persons for benevolent purposes. Mr. T. T. Mason,
aotlng Secretary, then read the report ofthe society,
of which the following is an extract: :
The operations of the society for the past year
have, necessarily, been much more limited than for
many years previous, the want of fund's having com*
petted the manager* to pursue the strictest economy
in ail the branches of the association’s work. While
this has been a source of regret and discouragement
to them, they have, nevertheless, the satisfaction of
knowing that in proportion to the means entrusted
■ to their disposal, equally as muoh, if not more good)
has been accomplished. , •
On the 16th day of December, 1862, the treasurer
of the society had in his hands a balance left over
from the previous year 0f................. $199 78
He has rcoeived since. 3,195 46
Making in all, to Deo. 16th, 1863........ $3,395 24
He has paid out for various purposes, as
will be teen by reference to his report
■ annexed hereto, from Dec. 16, 1662, to
Dec. 16,1863, inclusive,
Which leaves in the treasury a balance of $622 42
December 16,1863, _
How small an amount of money is this to be con
tributed in a whole year in the large and wealthy
city of Philadelphia, to. an institution having Buoh
important and worthy objects in view! la it too
much for the managers to ask of the Christian
‘ churches of this oity, that this amount be not only
doubled, but quadrupled, during just com
menced! In years gone by, this association has
had confided to it for disposal as much aa twenty
thousand dollars In one year, and it has never failed
to render, in return, a good account of itaateward
ship. May it not count on the Bame confidence, libe
rality, and encouragement this year! During the
year just parsed, ending with the 15th Dec, 1863,
2,600 visits have been made to the abodes of the
destitute by the general agent of the sooiety, and
the Bingle missionary yet in its service; 957 families
have been assisted *, 620 orders for coal have been
given out; 310 orders for groceries, $0 pairs of shoes,
and 600 articles of clothing have been given out; 13
Bibles were givento as many persona destitute of
the Word of Life, and 4,200 pages of religious tracts
were distributed; 120 religious meetings were held,
and 7 funerals have been attended; 4 deaths ooourred
among those in the care of the society; 12 persons
were induced to sign the pledge of total ab
stinence from intoxicating drinks, and three
persons have professed to have met with a
change of heart, and 30 children have been gathered
into the Sabbath-schools. 122 adults have been pro
vided with employment in the city, and 2 children
were furnished with good homes in the country. 30
cases were found unworty of assistance, and 20 who
bad applied for help could not be found.
Mr, John P. Arrlaon is still employed by the so
ciety as general agent and missionary', and Mr.
Albert G. Rowland, for a part of his time, aa mis
sionary. ,Of their faithfulness and industry in the
discharge of the duties devolving upon them, the
foregoing very brief synopsis of the doings of a
single year bears ample testimony. And the mana
gers need not add a word further in regard to these
two worthy Christian men.
After singing another hymn, the Rev. Franklin
Moore, D. D., was introduced, who said: The work
ing of this society is for the souls and body of a
part of the human race. There are certain classes of
poor Who axe made so through the wauts of distinct
and accurate calculation of income. We all know
that our Heavenly Father has a series of laws which
are very accurate and stem.' There are some who
after a series of years are found having descended
fromaffluence to circumstances of great suffering.
There are also persons who suffer through the va
rious financial tornadoes which take place time
after time. There is also another olass whose
poverty is very touching. It is that class who
are impoverished because those in whom they
had trusted had been smitten down from which
spring long years of widow and orphanhood.
How affecting it is to look for a moment at the
ravages caused by . this war! Whatever may be
the facts concerning those who have been made poof,
we ourselves know that they are so, And we ought
to relieve the suffering or God’s creatures so far as
He has prospered us.
He dwelt at length upon the many ways in which
all persons might relieve the suffering that takes
place in this city, and of the duty which all owe to
the great Jehovah to carry on the work whieh
Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Redeemer, began. He
was followed by the Rev. Dr. Jeffrey, who made a
few pointed and appropriate remarks, Bhowiog the
necessity of active exertion orf the part of Chris
tians to advance the interests of Christ in this way
of promoting the bodily and spiritual welfare of
their fellow-creatures, who, by perhaps some means
whioh they were unable to cope with, became poor
and subject to the temptations of Satan. At the
conclusion of his remarks a collection was taken,
[After, whioh the doxology was sung and the audience
dismissed with the.benediction.
; KEiiiaiOTTS.—The Bethel African M. E.
Church, in Sixth street, above Lombard, was
crowded to excess throughout yesterday, on the
occasion of a meeting held for the purpose of raising
means to pay a debt of about $1,350, which was in
curred by renovating and frescoing the church, and
making other necessary repairs, This was the first
Independent Church erected in the United States,
and has a large congregation. A sermon was de
livered in the morning by the Rev. Thomas Ken-
Hard, of Canada, and one in the afternoon by A. I*.
Stamford, after which, the money recently collected
by the class leaders of the church, to the number of
thirty, was handed in and the amounts named. It
would be well to state here, that at a meeting, held
at the church, some time ago, the Rev. Dr. Arm
strong, of this city, made a proposition to the effect
that he would present a large and beautiful Bible to
the class raising the largest amount of money in pro
portion to the number in the class, or to those out
aide of the church, who might raise the most.
At the meeting held yesterday afternoon, Mr.
Henry Gordon’s class, comprising forty-two mem
bers, handed in eighty dollars, which was the
highest amount received from any olaßß but the Del
monico Association, which gis an outside society,
contributed one hundred dollars. This sum being
the largest, they were presented with the Bible by
the Rev. Dr. Armstrong, in a neat and appropriate
speech. The total amount of money collected was
about eight hundred and fifty dollars, which looks
well for our colored population. The exercises of the
afternoon terminated satisfactory to all present.
In the evening, an able and touching discourse was
delivered by the Rev. Elisha weaver, who is well
known as one of the most eloquent of the colored
advocates in the cause of Christianity.
. A Veteran Regiment. —ln June, 1861,
the 29th Regiment P. V,, full one thousand strong,"
under the command of Colonel John K. Murphy,
started from Philadelphia to the ieene.of rebellion*
The regiment numbers now leas than three hundred
ind fifty men. They are expected to arrive in Phila
delphia to-morrow, under a furlough for thirty
days, having re enlisted for the war. The reception
to be awarded to the regiment promises to eclipse
anything ever witnessed in Philadelphia, and it is
well deserved. The regiment which has carried the.
glorious old flag through the Shenandoah Valley,
at Prederickaburg, Antietam, Chancellorville, Get
tysburg, Lookout Mountain, and Ringgold, is en
titled to such a reception as will eclipse anything
ever witnessed In Philadelphia, and it is promised
that such a reception shall be awarded. This eve
ning a meeting of the friends >of the regiment will
be held at the Wetherill House, in order to prepare
for the great occasion. Application haß also been
made to Mr. Miller, chairman of the Committee on
Defence and Protection, and he has entered into the
spirit of the occasion.' Those concerned in the regi
ment will extend an invitation to the Gray and Blue
Reserves, the Henry Guards, fcc., and there pro
mises to be a magnificent reception. Thirf is as it
should be.
The regiment which, after two years and six
months of hardship, is willing to re-enlist for an
other three years, should be welcomed by such an
outpouring! of the people as has never been wit
nessed in Philadelphia.. And by the exertions of
the friends of the Union the reception promises to
he of such a character. Berfeld’s Band has been
secured to proceed to Harrisburg or some other
plaoe on the route to receive the regiment, and do
what is proper before the men reach Philadelphia.
Those who have friends, orphans, or fathers in the
regiment will be on hand to reeeivethem to-morrow,
and from the preparations on foot we are satisfied
that the reception will be such as to reflect credit
upon Philadelphia.
The meeting oalled for this evening should be well
attended. There might be a civic display, as well as
military. The firemen, if they choose, can parade
without any formal order from the Chief. Such
companies as choose to do so should report to the
meeting this evening.
Honor the Brave.— The Soldiers’
Home, corner ot Race ana Crown streets, will be /
dedicated to the use of wounded and disabled sol*

ahe is not likely to rally. Recently ahe had taken a
very active part, with a number of other in
perfecting the arrangements of the Soldiers* Home.
The attending phyaioians are of the opinion that
great physicallabor and mental excitement have so
overcome this exoellenfiady as to place her life in
, Imminent* jeopardy. The disease, whatever it is,
appears to be assuming a typhoid character. ’

A Dangerous Pit-Fall.—On the south

situate in the middle of the sidewalk, is broken. •

Final Hearing in tiic Diamond: Cross Case.
Samuel Douglass, a printer, had a final hearing at the
Central Station on the charge of the larceny of a diamond
cross, valued at 51,200, the property of Isaac J Isaacs, a
pawnbroker. This ie a novel case, the principal points
of which are interesting. On Thursday last, a dark,
rainy day, Mr. Isaacs, with the diamond cross In his
poseession, proceeded to an upper story of house 4&J
Chestnut street, for the purpose of getting a case for the
jewel- Accidentally, the valuable article fell from bis
hands, struck availing, bounced over a skylight, slipped
through a hole therein, and was lost to view A most
minute search was made for it.but it could not bo found.
It had evidently (alien into the tecond story, bat might
have fallen into' the first Both stories were
searched. Mr. Penistan, who occupies the. first door,
heard something crash against the skylight. But the
most vigorous search in his place was made in vain. Mr
Isaacs became very much excited, according to his evi
dence, which wasexceedin*ly voluminous. and he of
fered $5O reward to the finder. This not bringing the
jewel to light he doubled-the reward. Several parties,
now joined in the search with the view of obtaining the
reward. Among them was a gentleman with a lamp
in one bas'd ana something enclosed in the other, who
seemed to be very active. Mr. Isaacs observing the
closed hand, and supposing that he saw something lu
minous therein, watched the action of the stranger very
closely. -Presently Mr. Isaacs suddenly grasped the
shut hand of the searcher and said
“What have you here?”
The stranger recoiled for a moment, and, upon open
ing his hand, replied, .
‘‘Matches! whatelse do you suppose?”
, “Oh. 1 beg your pardon a thousand times. I thought
• it was the cross.” .
* 1 Well, sir. if you take me to be a thUf I’ll abandon
further search. ”
• Again his pardon was begged. Mr. Isaacs, although a
judge of diamonds, was mistaken; he took the photpho
reecent light to be that of a diamond.
The gentleman became highly indignant* and retired
from the search. . •
In the course of a couple ofhours a search-warrant was
isnted.by Alderman Eeitler, and Officers Carlin and
Henderson took the matter in hand,
Ihty arrested a small boy in the establishment of Mr.
Helftnstein. The prisoner said he knew nothing about
it. bnt the other young msn had it.
The officers now took the other one into custody, ani
secured the cross. It wa» contended at the hearing that,
as there was no intent to steal, that the case could not be
considered larceny.
The counsel for the Commonwealth suggested that, as
the defendant was cognizant of the fast that the reward
was offered, and i hen doubled in amount, and he still re
taining possession of the lost property, that it was far-'
ceny under the revised penal code-
In reply to this suggestion, the counsel for defandant
said that felonious intent on the part of his client was
entirely done away with, because he simply held posses
sion of the crosp, as he did not know, that it belonged to
claimant. Besides this, my client avers that he pur
chased some furs for his wife, from Mr. Isaacs, some
time since, and that he was deceived in them. and that
in case the cross did belong to Mr. 1.. it could be pro
perly held until he should be Indemnified to the amouut
he was duped in the fnr*. This, therefore, is the defence
that will probably be set upon the day of trial. Tbere
rewaid of S’lOOhas not been paid to defendant.
The alderman, in summing up the case, said that it
was certainly the duty of the defendant to give up the
cross, and not doing so, the' caae ought to go to trial The
defendant entered bail in the sum of $593 to answer at
court. .
An Old Store Robber Arrested:
On Saturday afternoon John Wilson, alias John Mil
ler, who was recently liberated from Sing Sing Prison,
having served out a term of five years, was arraigned at
the Central Station on the charge of robbing the store of
Mr. Ira Beard, New York, of silks, ribbons, velvets,
laces, and fringes, to the amount of $4,500.
A woman, calling herself Mary Ann Wilson, waa also
arraigned on the charge of being implicated in the rob
bery. -The following main points of evidence are inte
resting:
Ji B. Thomas, a young man in the employ of Mr. Ira
Beard, testified as to the robbery on the 6th of the present
month; the store was entered through a hole mac ein the
wall from an unoccupied room in the adjoining house;
on the Saturday before the robbery saw two man looking
intently at the store; they , excited my suspicion; to the
best of my knowledge and belief, the prisoner was one
of the men; I remember having stated my suspicion to a
young man in the store: after the robbery I gave a de
scription to the police detectives of the two men.
The Alderman now called up Mary Ann Wilson, who,
up to this time, had aback *eat.
‘‘Are yon this man’s wife?” inquired the alderman.
“I am hU womaj,” she replied, with.a toss of her
head.
E. H. Church was called to the .stand—l reside iu
Brooklyn; am in the exchange business; I rented the
premises next doorto Mr. Beard; I held the keys of the
two rooms in the lower story; I delivered the keys to
this woman before the robbery; the premises of Mr.
Beard were entered from this room, of which the woman
had the key. ''
“Is this the key?” (key shown.)
“It looks verymuch like it. I think it is the key.”
“Bo yon swear positively,” said the prisoner, “ that
is your key ?”
“I think it is.”
“That : sthekey of my own house, replied the pri
soner. „ . , . ,:
; “Where do you live?” asked the alderman.
The prisoner was evidently nonplussed; to use a nau
tical phase, be was taken &11-& back; he equivocated,
and finally said “ Race street ”
“ Whereabouts In Race'streei ? n
* ‘ Hear Tenth. 17
“Nearer Tenth than Eleventh; Is it above or below
Tenth street?” .... . , , ..
‘'Somewhere in that neighborhood; that’s all I
know. ”
“Where do yon live?”, said the alderman to the wo
man.
’* In a little street running from Race street,” she re
plied.” •
“Whereabouts?” .. .
“ I don’t know exactly where it is. ”
The proceedings here closed, and the prisoners were
committed to await the proper requisition from the.aa>
: thorities of Hew York. Messrs. Callanan and' Carlin,
i who made the arrests, state in answer to the replies of
the prisoners as to their local habitation, that they hare
been living for a short time In the southern part of tho
city.
Charged witli Larceny.
A colored woman was arraigned by Detective Levy on
the charge of stealing a crape shawl from the house of
Mrs. Fitzpatrick, on Seventh street, above Wood, about
two months sine*, where she was employed at service.
The prisoner burst into tears, and asserted that she was
innocent, and that she had not lived out at service for
eight months.
Another colored woman present said, 4 ‘ Alderjnan the
officer hah got de wrong woman. ”
“ "What do you know about it V'
“The last place she lib at sarvlce waaat a lady’s
house in Germantown, Mrs. Coleman’s: dat’s what I
know. I tells you, gentlemen, that I’m most dead
myself; they’ll soon put me under the ground; but I’il
swear till 1 die that she has not been out at earvice for
eight months.
•'Keep your mouth shut, old woman, dry up,”was
the reply of some one of the constituted authorities.
The defendant mret enter bail in the sum of $3OO to
appear next Tuesday. Exeunt officer with prlsouer,
followed by the old colored woman who had a cold din
ner for the accused. : .
Larceny of a Horse and Wagon.
Ephraim Garriscn was arraigned by Officer Smith, of
the Second district on the charge of the larceny of -a
horse and wagon that bad been left standing near Front
and Dock stress, about one o’clock on Saturday. The
evidence developed the fact that a German had driven to
the point named and then went to Spruce street wharf,
to get some oysters. During his absence the horse and.
wagon disappeared. After considerable search the de
fendant was found driving the horse near the market
house on Second street. He was arrested. >
In his own defer ce herald that he was drunk or he
would not have driven the horse away. He only want
ed to tax e a ride, and had no, intention of stealing. He
was committed in default of §l,OOO bail to answer at
Court, . •
LEGAL INTELLIGENCES.
The courts were exceedingly dull on Saturday, and
presented no feature of special interest.
In the Common Pleas a number of decisions were made,
but we were unable to obtain a list of them. . ~
The District Court was engaged with the Motion Lists.
In the Nisi Prius, in the case of William Rinni vs.
, Joseph W. Thompson, an action to recover damages for
injuries sustained by the alleged negligence of defendant,
before reported a verdict was rendered for plaintiff for
s?co
SNothing of interest occurred In the Quarter Sessions.

SAFES.
R* LILLIE’S SAFES—IN LINE OF
H BATTLE READY FOR ATTACK IN FRONT,
FLANK, OB BEAR. _
• ARTICLE SECOND.
In my first article (see Diapateh. Press . and Inquirer,
: of tbit* ■week). I addressed myself to the authors of the
very unusual and' ungentleraanly attack (to apply no
harsher epithets) published in a number of papers of
last week and headed ” Lillies Safes Biown Opm,” &c.
Why this attack was made in an anonymous form,
wiinout signature, when its paternity is so palpable, I
will leave the public tojndgc. In this article I propose
to take up somewhat in detail the charges and allega
tions made in this attack. The first charge is *:that,
those New York humbugs who advertise Lillie’s Safes ,
say that they are the only safei that stand fire.” Taia
is nntrne.' There are many sheet-iron safes of different
makes that, under favorable circumstances, save the
written matter, and frequently the whole contents, when
the heat is not too severe. Bat my claim is (and I so
advertise) that the chilled iron safe is the only strictly
Fire and Burglar-Proof Safe combined,-as usually-sold
tor Mercantile Safes * * ,
When I say my Chilled Iron Safe is burglar proof, I do
not say they cannot be got into in any manner; bat,‘on
the contrary, I say they cant he sledged, and broken.
I also say they are generally and usually driU-proof.aad
Impervious to any cutting Instruments, as has been
proved in any number of teats. I say, further, that any
safe not drill-proof is not, nor can it be, burglar-proof, aa
it is-practical for the burglar to' use the drill or chisel,
but not the sledge.
Thehext declaration is that there is not one of Lillie’s
Bank or Mercantile Safes that cannot be drilled and
blown open in the same'manner as the one at Wiikes
barre. This is a broad declaration, without a shadow
of fact to sustain it; and that its truth or falsity may be
at once understood and appreciated, I now request any
of my patrons in the city of Philadelphia, having my
Chilled Iron Safes,to select the best mechanicoftheir ac
quaintance, and have the Safe thoroughly tested with the
best and most perfect drill or cuttiuginatrament that
can be procured; and if in any case the Safe is not pro
nounced thoroughly and fairly drill-proof, I will furnish
a gafe that is, or refund the money if there is any other
Safe that can be found to stand more resistance. As to
the proposition to send a committee to Troy to sea how
many over twenty of Lillie’s Safes wore burned up, I
have replied already; but I here offer one certificate
tsigned by twelve prominent business men. This cer
tificate speaks for itself, as to the result and the com
parative merits of Lillie’s and other Sites. I have also
certificates fiomfall other parties having Lillie’s Safes
in the Troy fire, entirely corroborating the statement
made in this certificate ad to the- comparative merits of
Lillie’s Sates with otherc, which can be examined any
time at my office: : • ' • „ r •
Trot, IST X., May 14 1c62.
The undersigned. using LILLEE’S OHILLSD AND
WROUGHT-IRON FIRE AND BURG LAS-PROOF
SAFES, at the time of the late disastrous fire in this city,
would state that our Safes were subjected to a severe
test by fire, the heat varying in intensity,-according to
the locality and surroundings. The time they were ex
posed to the fiery ordeal, unprotected by water, varied
from twenty-four to seventy-two hours. We would say
that our money, papers, books. Ac., were well pre
served, and the Safes are suitable for further use. By
comparison with Safes of other mfcntUacfcure. equally
exposed, we have no hesitancy in recommending Safes
of Lillie’s manufacture to the public oh their demon
strated merit as entitled to unparalleled confidence as
fire-proofs.-

As to.the Wilkesbarre robb9ry, I now offet Mr. W. G.
Sterling’s statement, yrhich I think quite as reliable a 3
the statements of my opponents or their agents:
Banking and Exchange Office of W. G. Si'erling,
Wilkesbarre, Luzerne Co., Pa,, Nov. 25, 1863.
I-ewisLillie, Esq.— Dear Str; Inanswertoyourletter
making request for * he particulars of the robbery in my
office, 1 would say. that the Safe blown open was an or
dinary Mercantile Safe, and not a Bank Safe, as was
generally supposed. The burglars had every opportu
nity for operating, as the Safe was in my back office,
which was of easy accets from several points at the
rear, and, as there were no persons sleeping within some
distance of my office, and as there was no watchman or
police that frequented that neighborhood, they conld
wort without fear of detection. Persons living
opposite side of the street report hearing two separate
aid distinct explosions; also, others distinctly heard the
buiglars at work while boring; but as there was a stable
directly in the rear of my office, the nois3 of the dril
ling was attributed to tbe horses, and no attention was
paid to it. The burglars entered my back office by pry
ing open tbe window-shutters and lifting the sash, which
must have given them .but little trouble, asbothshut
ters and window-sash are of the kind usually used on
dwellings. Learning fromyouv agent that the Safe I
was using was not in tended for bankers’ use. and that it
was inferior to those you manufactured for banking pur
poses—having no inside burglar box or safe, and being
of less thickness, &c.— lhad some time since concluded
to set one of your regular Bank Safes, with inside bur
glar safe, and had, in fact, written a letter to you. be
fore the robbery, to that effect, but had not sent it at that
time. My Fafewas one that had been made several
years, and was not as hard or well'chilled, in my opi
nion, as those lately sold by you In this place; also
having on the old leek. .
You will please tend me one of your best No. 2 Bur
glar and Fire Bank Safes, with inside burglar safe,
as. notwithstanding this occurrence. I am s;ill of the
opinion that your Safes offer greater resistance to bur
glars’ operations fhan any other Safe that I am ac
quainted with. .
Thiß burglarious effort can hardly be called a success
ful one, as the burglars appear to have taken no time to
examine the Safe after it was blown open, bnfc made their
escape as soon as possible, leaving SL7,SUO in the Safe,
exposed to view. Yours, respectfully,
. W. 0. SrERLING.
And I here positively assert, and • challenge my oppo
nents to show to the -contrary, that Mr. ex-,
pressed opinion as to the relaiive mevits.of Lillie’s Safe,
compered with other safes, is tne opinion of the bankers
and merchants of Wilkesbarre generally.after making a
thorough teit with drills, &i». The fact, also, that the
robbery was unsuccessful—the burglars leaving $17,509
in the safe In open pigeon-holes—is, greatly in favor of
Lillie’s Safe, snowing the importance of. strength. It
would seem that the lock was held to the door with
such firmness that,- after tha door was drilled, the ordi
nary charge of powder was applied but the lock was not
removed; the second and greater charge was applied, and
the result was that not only the safe bnt the side of the
building where it stood was shattered, and the report so
loud as to raise the neighborhood and cause the barglare
to leave instanter, having no time to bag the money.
Next in order is a portion of theletier written one year
since by Mr. Emery (Mr. Evans’ son-in-law), referring
to the Lock Haven fire: , „
When-this tamo lettsr was firstpnolisned (*sl recol
lect), Mr. Emery adds: ‘* I enclose one certificate, and
expect, or shall get, two more to-morrow;” and, al
though this same certificate has appeared in the paper*
and circulars since, I have not had the honor of ever
seeing the other two certificates, I am informed, how
ever, from good authority, that the safe for whicn this
certificate was obtained was in a law .office, and was
drawn outside of the building before tne flrec&nght;
also, that one of the three or four safes (of course, it was
difficult to be precise as to number among so many), of
same make, was owned by a jeweller, and that some of
the watches actually melted together. Also, that ano
ther of the same was in so bad a 6tate, and the contents
so much injured, that a satisfactory certificate could not
be obtained, and Messrs. Boggie fit, Beedle’s statement
folly corroborates, in general terms, Jhe results as above
offer Messrs. Boggis & Beedle’s letter, who were
Farrell, Herring, & Co. ’s agents at the time; also, T. T.
Abrams’letter:
To show how my Safe stood fire, compared with otners,
andiu relative merits: ' _ -
Lock Haven. January 01, 1553.
Lewis Lillie, Esq.. Troy, New York .—Dear Sir .’ln
answer to your inquiries concerning the late fire in this
place, we would say, that our Safe of your manufacture
was in the hottest fire of .any, the doors were shut and
the bolts thrown. But as we had removed our books
before the fire reached.our Safe, we did not lock the lock
as we had nothing of value in the Safe we
were in no hurry to get it out of the mint, and it re
mained in between three and four days. We do not
doubt from what we saw of other makers’ Sales, wmch
were got out in a few hours in a damaged state, that
they and* any Safe of same size of any maker, would
have been burnt up under these circumstances.
Yours, respectfully, . BOGGIS &BE IDLE.
In older to ascertain how much the Safe was injured
on the inside, we forced it open with two pickaxes and a
crowbar.. BOGGIS & BEADLE
Lock Haven, Jan. 31.1563.
To L. Liilif, Esq-Deah Sir; Tfie above are Agents
for Parrel, Herring, & Co. j b Safe. They stated to me to
day, that from what they knew of Safes at the late fire
in this place, they would as soon trust a Lillie's Safe as

Perhaps I ought to here state that the above Safe was
the lightest grade of Safe I make, and from some cause
waanotas thoroughly staid'by the wrought bar as is
usual, and that it cracked sufficient to allow the vapor

the reasons therefor, which T trust win be found con
