ONTKEBa,—The reception of the gallant B9th yea
teiday was one of the finest military displays that
trc have had in this city for'some time. The pro
: cession was partiolpated In by all the home military,
and the many hundreds of friends of those in the
ifglment. The firemen also turned out in force
With their ambulanoes, and formed quite a feature
In the'display. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed,
-and as the line marched on they were at every turn
-greeted with wild applause. The procession passed
down Chestnut street, and when opposite Granville
-Stokes’ Mammoth Clothing Emporium, No. 609,
they eame to a halt* Flags were waved, and great
'delight was manifested iover the beautiful stock of
Winter ghriuenbi hoWinstore at that establishment.

&CS* FRiSHMENT SAT s OON.—a meeting of the
Cooper Shop Volunteer Refreshment Committee was
held this (Wednesday) evening. December / 23d, at their
Saloon. The unexpected death of Mists ANN A 61. RO*?\
the principal of the Hospital, was announced, and a
Committee was appointed to prepare resolutions in rela
tion to the sad bereavement. The Committee reported
the following, which were unanimously adopted :
In the death, of Miss Anna M. Ross, the principal of
the Cooper Shop Hospital, we have lost an ardent, effi
cient, and devoted colaborer in the cause of humanity;
society lias lost a valued member,, and the sick and
wounded soldiers a true friend. On an occasion like
this, sad as it is, we may freely speak of those sterling
qualities that animated the heart of the deceased,
which made her name illustrious, and endeared her
to a large circle of friends in- Philadelphia. In her
position as tho principal of the hospital connected
with this institution, from its earliest date, she was ever
true in her self-sacrificing devotion to tho cause ia
which she wad engaged; watching over the bedside of
tbe sick and wounded soldiers of the Union with all
the anxiety and tender 6olicita.de kcown only to the
heart of a true woman, nursing them with almost ma
ternal affection, and imparting to the dying the coneo-.
lation enjoyed by the true Christian. We feel that so
ciety has indeed lost a most valuable member. In re
spect to the deceased the committee beg leave to submit
the following resolutions: •
That we have heard with feelings of pro
found regret of the death of Miss Anna M. Ross, the
principal of the Cooper-Shop Hospital.
That the hospital be draped in. the emblems
of mourning for the space of thirty days, in respect to
the memory of the deceased.
Resolved, That as the deceased was a true friend of the
country, and to the eoldiers of the Union, we respectful
ly invite the committee of ladies and gentlemen of the
union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, and the Citizens’
Volnuteer Hospital to join with us in attending the
funeral.
Resolved, That we condole with the relatives of the
family of the deceased in their bereavement, and that
these resolutions be published; and that an engraved

The following is an extract from a letter just received
by ns from a gentleman at Erie, Pa.:
“ Seeing your notice of .the blowing up of Lillie’s Safe
at Wilkesbarre, reminds me of the fact that about four
weeks'previous to that transaction, one of •LUUe’s
Anil-Drill and Burglar-Proof Bank Safes* was robbed
in.the office of Benson & West, Bankers, Waterford,
Erie county, Pa. A hole was drilled opposite the look,
in which powder was placed, which, on being
Ignited, blew the safe almost to pieces, breaking off onef
of the heavy’hinges, and tearing all' the inside filling
out of the Dame, breaking the outer covering of the door
entirely in two. The wreck was most complete. T/is

|gffl IMPORTANT TO MERCHANTS,
”“ l MAKUFACTtJBERS, BANKERS.
AND ALL OTHERS REQUIRING SECURITY PROM
In the daily papers of this city, as well as in other
public journals, M. C. Sadler, who is Agent for the sale
of Lewis Lillie's so-called Fire and Burglar-Proof Safes,
published an article calling the attention of the public to
the superior qualities of the said Fire and Burglar-Proof
Safes, and at the same time endeavoring to. underrate
the qualities of those made by Philadelphia makers.
We do not object to finr and manly eompeution in trade,
nor do we fear the ultimate result of any course that Mr.
Badier or hit principal may adopt; bnt we wish to call
the attention of the public to the real facta of the case,
and shall endeavor to expose the misrepresentations con
tained in the article so published, and offer to Mr. Lillie a
lair opportunity to satisfy the public as to the real value
of his article compared with those of other makers.
In the articles so published he says that his Safes are
the only really and thorougbly Fire and Barglar Proof
Safes made and sold at fully one-third less price;” and
be aleo.says: “I have just received four of Evans &
Watson's Burglar Proof Safes from the City Bank, in
exchange for Lillie’s, whicn I will sell at very low
prices. • . :
What we complain of in the above is not the puffins,
wlmhev trno or false. of tits own wares-but h!s Anting
mtv Ht'stvi'ivivit tsa STprsvitm oarsi /is to tno roar
Saics h.e speaks of» tb.ey 'wera newer sold or represented
as burglar proof, but mra w hen sold to the City Bsak,
old fire-proof chests, made nearly twenty years ago,
having been need by the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ B *nk
for a considerable time before the City Bank bought
them.- Fox the truth of this statement we refer to iha offi
cers of the bank, as well as the bill furnished them at
ihe time of purchase. We do not believe any Safe can
be iu*de entirely burglar proof, and have never so as
serted, as we are satisfied that there can be no Safe
made so strong but that a good mechanic, with plenty of
time and proper tools, can open or destroy it Bat we do
aseext that the Safes made by us as barglar proof are
quite as good, if notb#tter, than Lillie’s, and as to fire
prooi, incontestably better.
Now, for the proofs
First.. Are bis Safes burglar proof?
Kxoxvi:li.b {lllinois).—Lillie’s Safe, in the banking-’
home of fcrnith & Hall, opened apparently with a ham
mer and chisel, and robbed of between $4,000 and $5, COO
Hudson (Wisconsin).—Lillie's Safe, in the bank of
Gibson SHennins, was blown open with ganpjwdar.
-andJSiCOG in money, besides $1,900 in city ordero and
mium guar ant eed'burglar - f rQ ’
Medina (N. I ),—LiUie’sßankSaf<iiiitheMedinaßann~
was blown opes with gunpowder, but tbfe burglars were.
disturbed and did not succeed in-robbing the bank,'
though the fufrt was destroyed.
Rochester (N. Y.}—The lock of one of Lillie’s Safes
getcin g out of ord or in c ne of th e city banks, it was drilled
and opened with an ordinary blacksmith’s drill in about
thirty minutes.
- St. Louis (Missouri) —Lillie’s Safe in the store of Ra
gan & Ogden was broken with an ordinary hammerwifcn
out difficulty. ~ . >■ >
CniCAno-—One of Mr. Lillie’s Burglar-proof Safes was
opentd by John Sear, machinist, in about ten minutes,
with a common hand-drill and sSven-poand sledge
Rochester (W i;)— One of Mr. Lille’s ifaramoth. Bank
Safes, purchased by T. H. Rochester, Esq., President of
ihe Rochester City Hank, of Mr. Lillie himself, with a
written statement of its anaiitieii was
roTtituopDa by ftß ordinary meehafliei m qducu sironij
minutes. in the presence of the b&nh o£ice?s
- KmcHiviis (Odßtticlleut).—Oas of Lillies Sates vru
tested, at the retiuett of Mr. Sadler, agent for Lillie, in
the presence of a number of respectable citizens, iir the
office of Samuel S. Cummings, .and was drilled through
with a ihree-quarter-inch cast-steelldrill, without sharp
ening in twenty minutes, the drill being worked by ham.
Olean* (New) ork )-At the banking-house of Sto well,
Chsmberlain & Co., by agreement, a sum of money was
placed in one of Lillie’s patent Chilled iron Firs and
Burglar-proof Safes, represented to he proof against
sledge*, drills, and chisels, containing all the latest im
provements, tie money lo be the property of the person
undertaking to opts it, he placing in it the amount of
the original price o'ftfce Safes, to be the property of
btowell, Chamberlain & Co.. if the Safe was not broken
open and the money taken in one hour In thirty-seven
minutes the fcafe was broken open, and the money taken
by the operator.
"WiLKESBARKr. (Penna). —The Burglar-Proof Safo of
Lillie s make, in the banking.house of W. G. Steriiig,
was blown open with powder, introdiictd through a
hole drilled through the chilled iron, and robbed of a
large amount of money. In speaking of this, Mr. Sadler
says, in his article of thelSth, after admitting the facts
above seated, that it was the first successful drilling of
Lillie’s Chilled-Iron Sates. - A reference to the few cases
which have come to our knowledge, as contained in the
gtauments above, will show how much his word can be
relied upon. -
Still another:.— While writing this, a letter from a
respectable merchant in Tardleyvitle has been handed
me, by which I learn that one of Lillie’s Burglar-Proof
Safes, belonging to John Yardley, coal and Inmber mer
chant'of that place, has just been blown open with
powder The powder was introduced through, a hole
drilled through the chilled iron with a quarter-inch
drill. The iron was »bont.one and a half incues thick,
and both hinges were broken by the shock.
So much for th 9 thoroughly burglar-proof qualities of
Lillie’s Chilled-Iron Sales, settled, not by assertion, but
by stubborn facts:
Now for the Fire-proof: In this connection we would
sty that there have been few fires in Philadelphia or its
vicinity in which these Safes have been tested, but we
will refer to a few instances that have comqlo our know
ledge in other places, and ihe notice of a certificate of a
Safe in the store of McManus & .Croft, published by Mr.
Sadler
HOOPES.
Hannibal (Mo.)—Messrs. Haves & Armstrong pur
chased one of Lillie’s Sates, guaranteed fire and burglar
proof Their store was bnrned, and the entire contents
oftheSafe utterly - destroy ed. Mr. Lillie offered to’re
place the Safe with another of higher price, but they de
clined. as the trial they had had satisfied them.
St Johns (Michigan). — One of Lillie’s Safes, owned
by John Hicks, was situated in a frame building which
was burned down. In about three hours the whole con
tents of the Safe were destroyed. •
Painesville (oMi ).—Two-story brick store ofJ B.
Matthews was de*tr<.yed by fire, and the contents of one
of Lillies Safes entirely consumed.
Cape May.— illie’s Safe in the Mount Vernon Hotel
was, with its contents, destroyed by the fire.
Crystal Palace.—Lillie s Safe, made fox the test,
seven inches thick, was tested in the fire, and the whole
contents destroyed
' Danville —ln one of Lilie’s Safes a small quantity of
money, intentionally left in. the Sale-to test it, was
melted. » .
Trot.— One. of Lillie’s Safes, in the store of Messrs.
Warner, was. destroyed by the fire.- The contents had
been fortunately removed.
We might publish a large'number of certificates as to
the burning of his b&fe*, but we think the,,above are
sufficient. After sayingaword as to the Safe that pre
pervedthe booksin tecond street, ia the store .of McManus
& Croft, wo shall cease, The buildingwas asmall frame
building, and the floor on which the Safe stood still re
mains', scarcely scorched, .Bo that the papers would have
been safe if placed in a shoet-iron air-tight stove. - •
. Now, to bring this matter to a practical teat, we make
the following offer: ;
We will place one of our Safes, which we sold ia 1856,
for two hundred dollars, to Edward Giskill. book cind
er, and which we now have on.h»nd, hiving replaced:
it by a large'ooe.'in a. suitable furnace, with one cf
Lillie’s Safes, to be selected by him ont : of any sold .for
that price in Philadelphia within sevens ears; and sub-,
iect them to the action of a fire made out of oak, pine, or.
hickory wood, until the contents of them shall be de->
strayed: the party the contents of whose Safe is destroyed
to pay all expenses, and the other party to have both
Safes; the file to be made and triabeonducted in. the pre
sence of a <ommittee of five, two to be chosen by each
and the fifth by the other four. We will go still farther.
Mr. Sadler sola in June, 1860. to Weaver, Filler. 4 Go-, '
a Safe of the s4£o size, warranted to stand any fire that ,
could occur in their building, which would fee.one Of tiia r
hottest that could, be mads, tksirbUSlness baing ship;
chandjery. Now we will allow him to place that Safe
against ours, which ia only about half the size; and will
waive all disputes as to tho fairness of the' trial of the -
sizes although the difference is at least fifty per cent, in
his favor.
The Safe selected by Tie has already been through a fire
in the Girard Buildings, fell .through the floor from the
fourth to the third story, and has never been, repaired
sinee the fire, so that Mr. Lillie has the advantage of one
fire against two,• as no Safe can pass through a heavy fire
without some damage. The following certificate refers
to this Safe:
EVANS & WATSON'S SALAMANDER SATES. IN THE

S CARD.—THE OFFICERS OF THE
BLUE RESERVE REGIMENT deem it expedient to.
inform their many friends of the can re of their failure
to jc*in in the reception given to the gallant 29th on
then jetura home The officers, upon a very short no
tice, mustered ai the regimental headquarters over two
hundred men to join in the anticipated reception. The
men being without overcoats, a committee waited upon
his Honor Mayer Henry, soliciting the use of a sufficient
number of coats to equip the men. . Aside from the indi
vidual solicitation of the .members of the committee, a
similar request was made by Messrs. B. A. Bonder and
John Price Wetberill. whooffered to bocome individu
ally responsible for the same. Au order was also pre
sented for the overcoats from Spencer Miller. Esq., chair
man of the Defence and Protection Committee of the
’city,but without effect. The Mayor peremptorily re
fused our gallant fellows the use. perhaps of the very
coats they wore upon the evtr-memorable fields of Car
litle and Hagerstown: And therefore, be it
Resolved, That we express our hearty indignation at
the refusal of Mayor Henry to assist us in our desire to
welcome the brave fellows of the 23th RegimVnt; and
Resolved , That we express to our brave comrades with
whom we shared the honors of Carlisle and Hagers
town, and who were desirous of receivingtheir brave
feliowe-in-arms upon Jheir return home, our regrets at
their disappointment, as well as their pecuniary losses
in consequence of being taken frem their daily voca
tions; and
Resolved, That we assure them when we,desire them
to a&aih. respond to a call, wg will not be dependent
upon the courtesy of any powers that be.
Refolved , That the above statement and resolutions
be published in the daily papers.
