ITS ENEMY—THE ENEMY OF MANKIND. ANSWER TO CODICIL. I notice in The Press of the 24th Decsmber, what I should term a codicil to the article published by Messrs. Evans & Watson of the day previous, headed important to Merchants, &c, It is true the codicil is placed at the bead instead of the foot of the first article. But I infer it is to mlike that tone Lawyer's Cirtificate from the Lock Haven firs more conspicuous, as it is so new, fresh, Ind to the purpose. le lint does it meet the issue? Not at all. I say I am in formed from the beet authority. that tie's very safe was taken out of the building before the fire caught, and was on the walk or in the street during the fire' is it denied-? Not at all. It is possible that the fire might hays struck the face of the Safe (though on the walk) hard enough to melt off some of the brass, and the debris from the build ing might have laid around it for twel re hours before it was removed, and this Cirtificate amounts to nothing more; besides it is ciedte common that lawyers state their client's case strongly in their client's favor, especially when well paid. . Ore ether point in this codicil may be worthy of. notice. I see displayed in large capitals. Evans & Watson against the world and the rest of mankind. Including the chllied.iron arrangements. &c. I would like to in quire, are they reels; Linea descendants tfrom that ancient people or nation • whose hand was to be against every man ?" Perhaps Messrs. E. & W. will enlighten the public on this subject, THE CHILLED-IRON SAFE—THE BANKER'S. PRO- T - ROTOR. It will be seen from a critical review of Its hiatory that not a single Bank Sate made under any of Lillie's Patents have been robbed of one dollar IVY burglars since its introduction np to this time, notwithstanding their extended use among banks throughout the United Slates, holding and protecting a very large proportion of the money and treasure of the country. THE CHILLED-IRON SAFE THE MERCHANT'S PRO TECTOR. Frera the same review it will be seen that only live " Mercantile Safes have been opened by burglars among the tens of .thousands made under all of Lillie's Patents for the last eleven years, and two &Ahem ware opened by driving in the leek, and by drilling threagh the iron,; four of them were used by private bank ers. and all made under the first Patent, and never designed for bankers' nee by the makers. This shows the folly of placing a bate in a higher and more responsible position than its maker designed. (a lesson that the enemy might well study. and learn wisdom.) It may be proper to say here that iron that would-be considered fairly drill proof eight years since, through modern Improvement , and appliances, is now pe aetrated ; also that equal improvements have been made in the -- hardening of metals since. so that the burglar is Still foiled. But to return to the subject : one of .the five safes was used legitimately by a merchant, made some eight years since, was in a favorable place for the burglar to work— I not Lillie's -make--and the door was drilled and -the powder applied, and the lose very small. Is not this a clear record.? Is not Lillie's safe fairly the Merchants' Protector against burglars? and by the same review equally and more triumphantly so against. lire?
