LACE, the eminent and popular Composer of Maritana,

returns teeming with freshness, overflowing with genius, RS

"Messrs. MUSGRAVE, BROTHERS.—GENTLEMEN,--At your request, I beg to state, for the information of the public,
*bat 'be only property saved from the late fire, in the premises of Thomas S. Major and Co.. was that contained in one of
llitilners' Patent Safes. From the intense nature of the. fire, and the length of time the Safe was exposed to the action of the
ilames, I was fully convinced of the destruction of the books and papers it contained ; and feel very great pleasure in testify-
-jog to this extraordinary instance of their preservation. I may add, that the Safe was placed on the third story, without any
protection, where it remained till the floor was burnt around it, when it fell to the room beneath. the floor of which was like-

nice destroyed by the fire.—Yours truly, "JAMES S. HUNTER,

"Sin,—Last night our Premises were entered by burglars, who made a desperate attempt upon the Milners' Hoidfast
Safe we bought from you some time since ; and, although they evidently had recourse to all the usual appliances of accom-
iplished thieves, and ultimately to gunpowper in abundance, we are glad to say with no other effect than to injure the lock—
The opening of the safe they found quite impracticable.
" We are happy to he enabled to express our unqualified approbation of the Safe; we believe it is impregnable to thieves.
"If our verbal testimony will be of service to you, you are at liberty to refer to us, and to make any use you please of
this communication.—Yours respectfully, " BUTTERWORTH and BROOKES.

district your Pills command a more extensive sale than any
other proprietary medicine before the public. As a proof of
their efficacy in bilious and liver complaints, I may mention
the following case. A lady of this town, with whom I am
personally acquainted, for years was a severe sufferer from
disease of the liver and digestive organs. Her medical at-
endant assured her that he could do nothing to relieve her
sufferings, and it was not likely she could survive many
months. This announcement naturally caused great alarm
among her friends and relations, and they induced her to
make a trial of your Pills, which so improved her general
health that she was induced to continue them until she re-
ceived a perfect cure. This is twelve months ago, and she
has not experienced any symptoms of relapse, and often de-
clares that your Pills have been the means of saving her life
