THE CITY.
THE RECEPTION OF THE TWENTY-NINTH
REGIMENT.
Grand Outpouring of the Populace.
The Gallant Veterans of the “White Star”
Division,
For many Jay* past the friends of the soldier,
attached to the 29th Regiment Penneyivania Volun
teers have been over- anxiously waiting for them to
matte their appearance in this city, in order to give
them auoh a welcome aa they so well deserved.
Many a loving'wife, mother, and child, has looked
forward with eagerness and joy to the time when
they could onoe again clasp those in loving embrace
who have; perilled their lives and suffered all the
pains and disappointments to which a soldier is con
stantly exposed’for a love of those rights whiah
even the rebellious should prize above all things of
an farthly character, The.time at last arrived, and
such an outpouring or the populace as was wit
nessed in West Philadelphia yesterday has not been
equalled for a long period in this city. Mothers and
wives,'brothers, sisters, and children, were there,
with countenances all aglow; and hearts beating
with the greatest emotionj to obtain a gianee of
their absent ones. But alas I some were present
whose sad faces and mournful garbs betokened the
loss of those whr /were near and dear to them, and
who had been left behind never to return again.
The day was just such a one as was desired by’all.
the bright and beautiful sun being ooMa all his
glory. In fact, the clerk of the weather, who was
no doubt tliinking oi the Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year that is approaohing, was iu hit
happiest mood. The air was coJd, but animating,
bringing the bright red spot on the cheek of lads and
lassies. The public houses in West Philadelphia
were gaily decorated with flags and various inscrip
tions, and also many of the private residences.
Over the arch at the west end of Market-street
Bridge were the words:
$ WELCOME (39) HOME I ❖
S<X>«o<XX><><xX>O<>OO^C-«<><><K>S
done in evergreens. The different military regi
ments and independent companies, which were to
participate in the parade, arrived on the grbund be
fore noon, where they remained with their arms
stacked till the proper time arrived. About twelve
o’olock the national salute ol thirty-live guns was
tired, on a lot near the river, and above the railroad
track, by a seotion of two guns belonging to the 2Tth
New York artillery regiment (three-years men),
under the command of Lieutenant Olsrk. The
firing drew a number of persons to the ground, who
were under the impression that the Boldlers had ar
rived,: but they were doomed to disappointment.
The excitement became intense. Some individuals,
who were rather closer, would raise the ory “ Here
they come!” and “There they are!” whioh would;
cause the over-anxious ones to rush in the direction;
from which the cry came. This continued till about
half past twelve o’clock, when the train containing
the battle-scarred veterans arrived at the Udpdt.
The eager crowd immediately currounded the oars,
and when the men landed on terra firms, a scene was
enacted which cannot be described. Relations and
friends were there; and such a kissing and hand
shaking time we have not witnessed for many years.
The biave fellows who have so often withstood the
fire from the cannon’s mouth, found it very difficult
to withstand the repeated fire from the mouths of
their loved ones. Their appearance indioated'them
to be every inoh a soldier. No look of cowardice or
treachery was depioted on their brows. Their
bronzed faces clearly provedthegreatandnoble duty
whiah they have performed, and there was not a per
son who gazed upon them that did not envy their
well-earned position. When the tattered and Duilet
ridden flags opened out to the breeze, cheer upon
Cheer rent the air, and well might such ha ve been the
case, when we think of the Btorms of bullets and
shell through which they passed, and of the great joy
' that illuminated the hearts oflthe soldiers as they
followed on in full sight of these flagß to victory.
This regiment was the first to reach the summit of
Lookout Mountain, on the occasion of tho gallant
assault by the “ White Star Division” of tho 12th
Corps, where they had the right of the line, which is
always considered as the pose of honor, and the flags
which those brave boys carried were the first
to float from the top of that mountain. There thev
captured twioethe number of tkeir own regiment,
together with a large piece of blue bunting which
was oairlea by them in the parade yesterday. The
rag has on it O. S. A., captured at Lookout Moun
tain.
It was some time, and with much difficulty, that
the crowd could he forced back in order to get the
regiment formed into line. After this was accom
plished they were marched to Market street, headed
by Birgfeld’s Band, where they were received with
multitudes of cheers by the soldiers drawn up in
line on that street. Col. John K. Murphy rode at
the head of the regiment, in company with Colonel
William Ricketts, Jr., the present commander. Col.
Murphy organized this regiment, and had command
until he was captured at Winchester.
After the commotion had somewhat subsided ths
procession moved off in the following order:

Throughout the entire route the scene was
sublime. The thoroughfares were completely choked
up with excited beings of all sorts, sizes, and oolors.
windows, steps, boxes, and every available spot
was taken up, and many an individual got their
tempers 7te from the constant swaying of the crowd
to and fro. Several hose carriages were stationed
along the route, the bells of which were rung during
the passing of the procession. Many incidents oc
curred which are entirely too numerous to mention.
Th&day was a lively one among the pickpockets,
and justsuch a one as they would wish to take
Slace every day, for it is then that they reap a rich,
arvest from the excited and unsuspecting indi
viduals. The detectives were on hand, and suc
ceeded id nabbing quite a number of them. Two
were caught in WeatPhlladelphia a short time after
the 29th arrived.
SCJJNE AT THE UNTON LEAGUE HOUSE.
The Union League House, popularly known
among Philadelphians as the Victory House, was
gay with flags and ladies. The picture, to the ob
servant eye, was sublime. Beck’s Band, engaged
expreßslyfor the occasion, was stationed In the
front of the main entrance to .the spacious building,
and discoursed patriotic music as thfe'parade passed
by. Every window was Ailed with ladies, and the
cool bretze imparted a freshness to their cheeks,
and thus added a glow of tinted beauty thereto.
The waving of hundreds of handkerchiefs added a
liveliness to the attractive display of patriotism.
SCENE AT THE STATE HOUSE.
Animmense mass of people congregated in the
immediate vioinity of Independence Hall, where
they stood for several hours awaiting the arrival of
“the parade. The whole square was gay with- flags.
The large ensign on the tall pole on the State House
was o&nied away by the stiff breeze trom the west,
but shortly after high noon the services of a man
were brought into requisition, who asoended the
pole and - soon reeved the halyards. The glorious
old flag was soon again In the breeze, and spread its
beauty under the smiles of a clear,sun.
The Good Intent hose carriage was placed in front
of the hall, and its bells were rung during the pass
ing of the ovation, The grand pageant was re*
“viewed by his Honor- Mayor Henry, who stood upon
the main steps of the city hall, corner of Fifth and
-Chestnut streets. The polioe at this station flanked
the Mayor right and left, and diverged in the form
of a triangle to the curb-stone. Over his Honor
waved the beautiful silk flag sent.by'a “ greasy me
chanic” in California to Philadelphia in the year
1661. The effect was fine ; the picture complete.
As the parade passed by in review, those of the
military officers who knew how to salute did so in
true military stjle. There were others, however,
who forgot, or perhaps never knew anything about
suoh etiquette. As each flag was borne along in the
moving line, the Mayor saluted it by raising his hat.
The scene all square, particularly when
the veterans, leached this point, beoame animated
beyond description. A mother rushed Into the ranks
and threw her aims ai-ound her battle-scarred son,
whom she had not seen since IS6I, She was borne
along with the human current. The torn flags were
objects of holy admiration, and theirappearanee was
hailed with cheers, and the waving of handkerchiefs
from the many windows, that seemed to be entirely
at: the use of the ladies. As the last ambulance
passed, the .Mayor remarked, as he was leaving his
deoidedly cold position, that the escort was a “very
creditable display.”
‘When the procession reached the Soldiers’ Home,
the multitude, which bad gathered there a long time
previous, manifested their appreciation of the vete
rans by continued rounds of cheers. The scene pre
sented here was somewhat similar to that in West
Philadelphia at the time of their arrival. Mamy
mothers, wives, and children were stationed on the
I mvement in front of the Home, waiting for their
ong-wiahed-for relatives to oome. and what folio wed
the readecmay.easily imagine. The Committee at
tached to the Soldiers’ Home were profuse ia their
display of flags and flowers, both in the inßide and
outside of the building, and to them belongs great
credit for the excellent manner in which they got
up the repast for the officers and soldiers of the 29 th.
Two large , rooms were set apart for the especial
benefit of the privates and non-commissioned officers,
in whioh were tables well laden with turkeys, pies,
hams, &c., Ac , and whioh they did justice to, being
Tether the worse for something to eat, on account of
their being so long without a meal of a similar kind.
The field and line officers were ; also well provided
for in the managers” room. The Counoilmen and
members of Birgreld’s band likewise came in for
IheirihAre. ’When the29th marched into the Home
fbr y tneir dinner, the esoort whioh accompanied them
from the depot left for their respective quarters.
Alter the repast was over, the colonel having ob
tained permitslon from those in charge of National
•Guards’Hall,marched his regiment to the armory, in
•one of the upper stories, where another feature of the
.programme was gone through with. Here the com
mittee from Counoils had* assembled to give them a
weloome on bphalf of the oity. Mr. John P.
’Wfithezill. made a short address, in the course of
whioh he said.;. We rejoice to see you to-day, oomiug
as you do from the battle-field, where you have won
for yourselves honor and glory of such a character as
will never fade away, and on behalf of the city of
Philadelphia which you have so nobly represented,
we tender to you all a most cordial and hearty wel
come.’ The city is proud of you, and well may she
be, for your devotion to her and to our common
•country has always shown it. When we look back
•over the past few years and reoolleot the many bat
tles through whioh you have passed, and the m&Dy
victories which you have won, it brings a feeliag of
the greatest love and admiration for you to our
hearts. /Well do; we remember .the gallant and
heroic stands you have made against the over
whelming force of the Stonewall Brigade, where
your noble commander was captured, and where
you proved yourselves worthy of Philadelphia.
Then followed the renowned battles Of Antietam,
Fredericksburg, Ohanoellorville, and "Gettysburg,
where.you also gained, imperishable honor. From
these fields of oarnage and slaughter you were trans
ferred to Tennessee, where you also participated in
several hard-fought battles, and oame out victorious.
Well do we recolleot your grand charge at Lookout
Mountain, and the many trials and difficulties
whioh you had to pass through, there. You may
rest assured that the emblem of the “ white star ” -
by which you were designated,will always be looked
upon with feelings of love and friendship by those
with whom you may come in contaot. You fought
at Lookout Mountain above the clouds, and where
else should that.white star shine'} As we look at
those stand of colors, all tattered and tom, and
think of the many battles through which they were
home, and when we think that they were the first
•that were planted on the top of Lookout Mountain,
-the gratitude that we all owe to you is unbounded.
'The speaker, after a few more remarks, closed by
-laying the city of Philadelphia greets you with a
trulyloyal welcome. [Cheers.]
Colonel .William Ricketts, commanding the regt*
tfaent, replied by saying; On behaM of tae officers
end men, we return our sinoere thanks to the olty
of PatUdelphia for the gmuL reception which they
have tendered to the regiment. They have never
turned their backs to the enemy, except when dr
cered. [Cheers.] At [Gettysburg we “met our old
roes of Winchester; and, although they outouih*
bered us two to one, we whipped them. [Cheers,]
In all the fights In which they have participated
they did their duty, and that right nobly. At Look*
out Mountain they were the first regiment to gain
the summit, and plant the stars and stripes. [Cheers.]
Our lieutenant colonel, who was sick at the time,
left his bed, and went with us to the top. [Cheers ]
Here are three hundred and twenty-five men who
are still undaunted, and still have the love Of CQUU
try in them, and who haye AgAiQ W BeffO
three years more. [Cheers,] After A fair more re
marks, three cheers wer#proposed for the 2?th Regi
ment, which were given with a will.
Colonel John K. Murphy was then called for, who
epolte a few words, in whioh he said; I have boon
with you to the battle-field and know the stuff you
are made of. He also said that he had not seen suoh
a display as was witnessed yesterday for a long
time. Three cheers were then given for Colonel
Murphy, after which Lieutenant Colonel Zaltoh
Save a few words of advice to the men,- in regard to
ow they should conduct themselves in the city, and
still maintain the honor whioh they have so justly
entitled themselves to. The men were then dis
missed, and with joyful hearts wended their way to
the homes from which they have so long been ab
sent. . . .. _

National Peace Committee.-—The de
legates to the > National Peace Committee were to
hare assembled in the Common Council ohambor
yesterday, but there being so few a number of dele
gates they did not meet there. The meeting wai
held, in a parlor, at the Continental Hotel, and was
entirely private.
Between ten and eleven o’clock last night, the
seoretaiy, Mr. J. H. Stevens, of New York, in
formed the reporters of the press, who had been
dancing attendance at the door for several hours,
that the Committee did not desire any
about the proceedings.
A delegate informed us that after the committee
bad been called to order, a discussion ensued on the
subject of nominating a candidate for the Presi
dency at once, and refer the nominee to the people.
Those who advocated this measure were in favor of
nominating Gen. Geo. B, McClellan. The repre
sentatives from Kentuoky opposed this, and advo
cated the calling of a Convention for the purpose of
making a nomination. The discussion was quite
animated, and was still pending at the hour of ad
journment last night. It was understood that the
committee would meet again this morning at nine
o’clock, when the question would be resumed.
The Hon. Emerson Etheridge, Amos Kendall, J.
H. Stevens, and four or five other gentlemen consti
tute the committee. We requested the secretary, Mr.
Stevens, to furnish us a list of the delegates, but he
politely refused. He informed us that the committee
was not full; that several delegates were on their
way from Frankfort, Ky., and would probably ar
rive some time to* day.
A " delegate” also informed us that a number of
distinguished gentlemen of Philadelphia had com
. municated verbally with members of the committee,
’ and were most decided in their preference for Gene
ral McClellan. This delegate further informed us
that be believed a gentleman from Washington was
infavor of “ busting the oommittee up.”

Christmas Exercises.— Last evening
the teachers and pupils of the John Quincy Adams
Female Grammar School, Thirteenth school section,
participated ifi a most pleasant intellectual and fes
tive reunion. The occasion was complimentary to
all concerned, alike to the care of teacher and pro
ficiency of scholar, while it evidenced the interest
whioh the ever-attentive directors manifest in the
-ff&lfare of theschoola committed to theircare. The
like, and the merry'ft&'i- Shristmas
dren gave one a foretaste of the joys which should
mark this happy time. The children were
oheerfully attired and occupied the large and
commodious rooms of the second story, where
the singing, recitations, and addresses occurred. The
programme embraced the moet popular of our school
songs, lively, spirited, and beautiful. It is notour
intention to criticise where everything was so credi
tably executed. “On to the Field of Glory,” was a
duet sung with fine effect by Mr. Bowers, music
teacher with Mr. D. W. C. Moore, a director of the
13th section. The accomplished principal, Miss M.
O. Brddie, presented a Christmas gift to the children,
in the Bhape of pound cake, the discussion of which
formed a pleasant interruption to the evening exer
cises.. Mr. Moore, on behalf of the directors and
pupils, expressed his gratitude and appreciation of
Miss Brodie’s uniform kindness, as well as for her
arduous attention to the welfare of the school.
The Philadelphia Yacht Club.—We
learn that the yacht club recently started in this city
is fully organized. The club-room on Walnut street
has been fitted up in the most costly Btyle, with
every, convenience inoident to an institution of
this-kind. There are about forty boats repre
sented in this organization, with a floating capi
tal of several hundred thousand dollars. The as
sociation numbers among its members some of
the most prominent and iafiaential citizens of
Philadelphia, who are proverbial for their busi
ness character and energy and social qualificatidus.
On some fine day, the residents of Philadelphia
will have for their entertainment, in a publio way, a
fine panoramic scene on the Delaware, when its
bosem will be studded with the white Bails of the
fleet belonging to this club. Some of these yachts
are fitted up in a style of princely magnificence, and
many a pleasant, nappy hour will be enjoyed on
board of them. A very considerable amount of at
tention has been given to yachting in New York
and parts of Europe, but somehow or other] the
feeling for aquatio exercises never reached any point
in Philadelphia to make the subject interesting. A
fresh; or more properly speaking, a new impetus has
been given to the affair, and we may consider it au
institution of our city. Tne signals and flags, and
other paraphernalia connected with such a pleasant
profession, are already made, and will, in the course
of a few. days, have a place in their club room.
Gray’s Ferry Bridge Partly Destroy
ed.—A short time after the one o’clock accommo
dation train to~ Wilmington, Del., passed over the
Gray’s Ferry Bridge yesterday that structure was
discovered to be on fire in the western part of the
roof. The wife of the watchman saw the kindling
flames and gave the alarm. A man hastened to
extinguish them, but he fell and hurt himself con
siderably. The flames spread quickly udder the
power 01 a heavy breeze,[and the was
soon destroyed. The end of the draw was also
burned and fell. The firemen were at the scene as
soon as possible, and they Bucecededjiin preventing
the total destruction of the draw.
The train due at two o’clock was run across the
bridge while the roof wasln a full blaze, the under
work not yet being damaged. The .loss by this mis
hap will reach about $5,000. Fully insured in Bos
ton, Mass. Mr. Felton, the president of the Balti
moretCompany, entertains the idea that the bridge
will be put into good running order in about four
days. Arrangements are made so that the trains
will not be delayed after to-day.
The Hour before Daylight.—The gas
company seem determined to *put into practical ef
fect the poetical notion that u the hour before day
light is always the darkest,” by having the public
gas lamps extinguished at a much earlier hour thaa
usual in the mornings, The newspaper carriers com
plain that some mornings are so dark that they can
not see their hands before them, and they experience
much difficulty in serving their papers. House rob
beis, of course, will speedily take advantage of this
facility to rob, now tendered them by the gas trustees,
a majority of whom ’ are about as incompetent a set
of old fogies as were ever'imposed upon the publio.
In some parts of the city the lamps are scarcely
lighted at all. We counted ho lessthau nine,' entire
ly dark, within two or three squares In the southern
section of the city as early as ten o’clock a few eve
nings since. Whether the parties interested in lamp
lighting are coileagued with thieves U a subject that
may admit of some argument.
,A. Dastardly Act.— Mr. Samuel Cline,
an employee of the firm of Meeare. Oox, Whiteman,
& Co., iron founder*, was attaoked an evening or
two ago, while near York road and Susquehanna
avenue, by an unknown person, who threw Into his
face a pint of sulphuric aoid, burning his head, face,
and clothing in a shocking manner. Mr, Cline is a
worthy and harmless workman, and has a large
family dependant upon his labor. His complete
recovery 1s beyond possibility. The only cause as.
signed is that he was not a member of the “ Mould*
•era’ Union,”
Fokebal of a Centenahian.— The

timeof her, death was-one hundred years, eight
months, and eighteen days old. Upon the centenary
anniversary of her birth she gave an entertainment

at that time was quite active.
Death of a Mebchant.—Mr. Jacob
Umetead,or the firm of Treed, Ward, & Treed, flour
merchants on Market street, above Eighth, died
yesterday, of consumption. At a meeting of the
Corn Exchange Association, yesterday morning,
Mr. Geo. L. Buzby presiding,' resolutions were
adopted expressive of the condolence of that body,
and their appreciation of the many characteristic
virtues which adorned the life of the deceased.
Fbesentation.— James Flood, of Com
panyß, 4th Pennsylvania Reserves, was the reci
pient of a gold medal from his old shopmates of the
firm of Dreer & Sears, as a testimonial of their ap
jpfeciation of his bravery. The medal— on one side
»waa engraved the battles in which he had partici
pated, and on the other, “Presented to Jas. Flood,
[Jr., by hiß old shopmates.”
City Bounty Paid.— Capt. C. N. Cad
w&llader, the general recruiting officer in Philadel

drink, and took a seat. Presently a female, oamed Mary
Chew, sat herself on his knees. Mr. Gibson did not
object to this extreme sociality In a short time, a min
came in from a rear door, whereupon the woman jumped
to her fret, and exclaimed:
•* He hasn't paid me. ”
‘‘l don’t owe you anything,” he replied. +
“Ton do,” she rejoined, accompanying this remark
with ebscenHy and profanity.
The man who had come in now joined In and said:
•' Why don't yOu pay her, you —. ”
: “ Because I don't otre her anything. "
“Tpu’re a liar; if you don't pay her I’ll cut you." At
this the assailant pulled a large dirk-knife from his
pocket, and flourished it over tlio victim’s head -
“Take aU the money I have, "he replied, frightened
almost to death •- ■
The woman rifled his pockets and obtained tho sum of
$l4 60. The victim was lelessed, and he left the house
a wiser, though a sadder and poorer man. Warrants
were issued by Police Magistrate White, and the man
and woman were arrested. Tneyhad a final hearing
on Tuesday night, and were bound over in the sum of
$l,OOO each to answer at court. The young man who
flourished the knife belongs to a respectable family.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
United States District Court-Judge Cud*
walader.
United States vs Amos Barton. This was & prosecution
for perjury, in which ic was charged that the defendant,
swore falsely at the custom house to the contents of cer
tain packages which were desired to he shipped to Al
exandria, Ya., hy.tbe way of Hand’s line of steamers.
On the 21st of last August an affidavit signed * 'A. iS.
Bunting” was presented at the cuetom house attached to
an application to the collector for permission to ship ten
barrels of flour (marked D. 0, M ), described as pur
chased hy kl l>. C. Morris” from ‘‘A; M. Bunting,” to
Alexandria. This affidavit was sworn to by the de
fendant. Mr. Harbeson.' the deputy collector, identi
fied him as the person who made oath to the affidavit.
The prosecution called a baker, named Green, who
testified that he waß anxious, io the early part of last
summer, to ship whisky in floor barrels to Alexandria;
that he went to Burton and engaged to pay him from
time to time to make oath to the required affidavits that
the invoices correctly described all the goods, wares,
and merchandise desired to be shipped; that Burton
several times went to the custom house and took oath
in the nameof ** A. M. Banting,” whom Green stated
did not exist. A large quantity of whisky was sent to
Green, at Alexandria, by Bnrton, through this means.
. The whisky thus consigned was seized by Col. Baker,
and Green, together with B&rtram, his partner, were ar
rested and sent to this city aB witnesses against Bnrton:
The defence was that Burton was imposed upon by
-Green; that Green did not tell him that the flour con
tained whisky; aud that Burton, as a favor to Green,
contented to make the oaths. He also called witnesses
to hl6 previous good character. '
•The jury had not rendered a verdict at the adjourn
ment of the court Coffey and Ashton for the United
States; Earle and White for defendant.

|B|« LILLIE’S SAFES AFTER THE
Bfgly GUERILLAS.—I believe it is a fact well settled
mat", for ages past, tlie mor & barbarous aad weaker na
tions, when contending with the more civilized and
stronger* Rare adopted as a general rale what is termed
the guerilla system of warfare, and have fought stealth
ily aid in ambruh, instead of fairly and manfallyin
the open field; and at the present time the Southern
rebels stem to have adopted this system largely in their
contest with, a superior force, and some of the Northern
business men seem to find its adoption quite convenient.
When this guerilla attack was commenced last week
upon LILLIE’S SAFE, I offered the attacking party fair
play in the open field, giving great advantages. Was
thie offer accepted? Not at all.. Did »hey *ay your offers
were fair, and they would accept? or that they were
unfair, and that they would accept if fair ? Not at all.
But they again play the guerilla, ‘‘dodge the
pit,” and simply say' yon cried'fire! fire! fire! some
• time ago, when, as they allege, there was not much
fi>e.after all, (Bee "The Press' * of December
16th and 17th.) Well, really, their position reminds
one strongly of that of the weaker of the two boys
when they got in a quarrel. The weaker boy, having
commenced the attack,-soon found he had got more than
he had bargained for, played the guerilla, and beat a
hasty retreat; but as soon as he got at a safe distance he
tamed round to the stronger boy, (looking daggers,) and
said, ‘‘Well, if I can’t tick you,! can make fareß at
your sister. ” lam not sure but the boy that rau acted
wisely. But to return to ihis serious charge about cry
ing fire. • .
i have no doubtN of the truth of Messrs - McManus h
Crofts’ statements that they had lost their entire stock,
.and that they obtained their insurance'upon it; that the
fire took and burned as they represented; that the name,
plate, and paint melted off the swe, &c. It is also trae
. that the fire took in the centre, and burned towards the
rear ; that In consequence of the fire, the second floor
fell, and covered up the action of the fire in front It is
; true that the fire was put out, and the building did not
bum down, which is usual in Philadelphia. Thatit
was a great fire has not : been claimed. Admit
ting, however, that too much has been made of
it, i think Messrs. Evans & Watson are the last par
ties to complain, having previonsly- advertised, and
£nt out in flaming posters, the lone certificate from the
lock Haven fire, when the Safe, as 1 am informed, was
in the street, and not in the fire at all. And if I have
erred in the least in this matter, my only apology is I
■was led astray by precedents from a source so high and
orthodox; 1 M O SADLER. Agent.

Philadelphia, Dec. 19. 1t63.
P. S. —lf Messrs. E. & W.’s sympathy for their Phila
delphia friends, or their caution, to the patrons of Lillie’s
Safe is real they now have a grand opportunity to mani
fest it by accepting, my offer, and testing Safesiaafur
naee; and I will guarantee they nor their friends shall*
complain that the fire is light. They shall have the op
portunity to “roast geese enough” for their larder:for
.the winter, and the patrons of Lillie’s Safes will then
learn satisfactorily how far they can crust-their-books
therein. M. C. 8., Agent.
