DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP MILNERS'
HOLDFAST SAFE WITH GUNPOWDER.
MESSRS. THOMAS MILNER AND SON.
DEAR SIRS,—We beg to acquaint you that last night our
warehouse was entered by burglars, who attempted to blow
open with gunpowder your strong Holdfast Safe, in which we
keep our books and cash (then amounting to '475), and, we
are happy to add, without success.—We are, dear sirs, your
most obedient servants,

GREAT FIRE IN BELFAST.
MESSRS. MUSORAN'ES BROTHERS.

GENTLEMEN,—At your request I beg to state, for the in-
formation of the public, that the only property saved from the
late fire in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co.,was that
contained in one of Milners' Patent Safes. From the intense
nature of the fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed
to the action of the flames, I was fully convinced of the de-
struction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very
great pleasure in testifying to this extraordinary instanceot
their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on
the third story, without any protection. where it rentainedtill
the floor was burned around it, when it fell to the room-be-
neath, the floor of which was likewise destroyed by the fire.—
Yours truly, JAMES S. HUNTER, Executor of the late
Thomas T. Major, of the firm of T. Major and Co.

ANOTHERCURE OF CONSUMPTIVE COUGH.—Extraet of
a letter from Mr. Thomas Dean, 150, Scotland-road, Liver—
pool.—Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in communicating
to you a case (among many) which came under my own
observation. A lady, who I can refer to, in her asszttuous
attendance upon her husband during a long and fatal illness,
caught cold, and not having taken care of herself, it settled
upon her lungs. She was troubled with a dreadful cough,
and every symptom of consumption. She applied to her
medical roan, but did not obtain any relief ; when, upon the
recommendation of a friend, she tried Dr. Locock's Wafers,
which, from the commencement, eased her cough, and by
continuing them she is perfectly cured. THOMAS DEAN.

--CURE OF A FOURTiIIN YEARS' ASTHMATIC COUGH.-.
I, Thomas Carter, Egremont, Cheshire, had an asthmatic
cough for fourteen years; nothing ever gave me relief until I
commenced taking Dr. Locock's Pulmonic Wafers, three
boxes of which have entirely cured me.

RAPID CURE OF COUGH AND DIFFICULTY OF BREATH-
ING.—Sir,—I write to inform you of the great benefit I hare
received from taking Locock's Wafers, which you recom-
mended to me. I was so much oppressed at my chest that
when I lay down a coughing fit came on with such violence
that I have often thought 1 should not live to see the room-
ing; but now I can sleep a whole night without coughing,
after having taken only two boxes of wafers.
