hemcn You have no doubt heard ere this, of
the fire in our town; you have also been written
to in relation to some of your make of safes,
bought by J. +. & B. 7. Meek, some years ago,
which could not be got out, and remained in tho
burning building until next day. ut 10 O'clock
Our safe was in the fire 10 hours, at least half
the time red hot--was not taken out until cool
enough to attach rope to one of the rings
When drawn out by the bystanders, who were
anxious to bet upon the contents being burnt
up-upon which proposition we offered
to stake and loose what we had left from the
fire. Those present were induced to believe
our safe Of the same kind as one belonging to
our next door neighbor, whose safe was of Gin
cinnati manufacture, and which upon being
opened was found nothing but few pieces Of
gold and silver coin fused and stuck together, all
OF the books and papers being consumed or
chared SO as to be entirely useless. The fire
was intense, and our Isafc, when opened, as
tonished all present. Books perfectly good
with the exception of the glue used in the bind
inSS-all the papers good and pliable as when
placed day or two before, the fine polished

in boxes or wrapped in paper. There appears
to be sort of gas vapor generated whilst in tho
fire which rusted the steel goods, as soon as the
safs was opened and the articles exposed to tho
atmosphere. This is all the damage done to
anything in our safe. The envelope enclosing
this letter took its chance-you can see for your
selves. We had confidence in your safe before
now we would not have any other make.
The safe contained during the ten hours it re-
mained in the fire, many valuable tools and ma
chincry, used by us in our business, some of
which could not be replaced on this continent
value say of $1,000; also about $1,000 in cash
notes, our books of accounts; small sum Of pa
per money, valuable materials, &c., we suppose
the aggregate value of said contents would
amount to at least to $4,000. .t,sr
The heat to which this safe was subjected was
SO intense as to warp tho iron casting and crack
the door frame and loaye other marks Of the ex-
tent of heat to which it passed through. We
regard this manufacture of safe as perfectly re-
liable and a certain protection against loss of
contents by fire. Wewould use no other we
have ever scon if Phoenix could be procured.
ept2;1y Yours, MFEK& MILAN.

EPThe late combination of the G real
railroad lines between the east and west
meets with but little favor. The comb
nation is mighty one, and if it can be
perfected, good bye 10 the days of cheap

says:
Combinations of labor against capital
have always been condemned by capital

in which this movement may be viewed,
it can only be regarded as a step back.

agement; it raises the rates Of fare, while
il diminishes the accommodations to pas

Of the advantages which our roads were
constructed TO secure. The combination
embraces all the great routes, and if it
works smoothly, they will have such COM
plete control as to put competition out
of the question. and make a stupid mo-
nopoly of these hitherto competing lines.

appointed to classify all said notes into
four classes the first class TO embrace
those most remote aqd most difficult Of
access; the second, third and fou tn class

The resolution to refuse foreign bank
bills Of Il less denomination than ten dol

October, means that the bankers and hro.
kers will not receive money of that kind
on deposit or in payment of dues at par.
1t does not mean, however, that thoy will

they may fix uptn it. They simply de.
