THE subscriber has this day received complete
l. assortment of Wilder's Patent Saamander
e-Proof Safes which he offers at New York pri-
ces. These safes are universally acknowledged to
be, in all respects, superior to any other manufnc-
tured in this country. The burning of the Tribune
buildings, in the city of New York, in February
lS45, fully tested their excellence and mperishabi-
ty. On that occasion, one Of "Wilder's Salaman-
ders," containing the books, papers, and quantity
of bank bills belonging to Messrs. Greedy d Noel
rath, entombed in the burning ruins for thirty
six hours. At the expiration Of that time it was dug
out red hot yet upon opening it, the books, papers,
and bank bills found Ito use the words Of the
Tribune) "as good as new" The following extracts
from New York papers will serve to show the SEN
sation created by that unookcdfor event: ... elan

featured in Albany, New York. has given them up,
as he says, on account Of the miserable dishonest
parties concerned in manufacturing them. The
same party are now industrousy circulating reports
calculated injure DR.. Smith, and infect the rep
utation Of his valuable pills; but rather than notice
them in public, DR.. Smith is about to institute legal
proceedings against them for their ISLANDERS, he
has in another case against similar party, in which
he recovered large amount of damages. These
miserable miators have to resort to the most abom
Unable means to palm their counterfeit pills. the
public know that DR.. Smiths are the original and
genuine. Several instances have come TO public
notice in which life has been endangered by the
unfortunate use ofthe counterfes. 1t is DR.. Smiths
