New FIRE Poor SAFE.-Wc have examined
a new fire proof safe, which was invented by o.
Marland, of Boston, and by him patented
March, 1854, now manufactured in that city
and sold at 500 and upwards. according to tho
size, which varies from $50 to $500 lbs. The
peculiarities of this safe are that the metallic
parts which form the bolts, doors, SC, Of other
safes, and which are conductors of heat are in
this safe, entirely excluded from passing into the
interior which is lined with soapstone and zinc,
hottest fire that was ever generated in q burning
bullding,so that the papers could be injured or in
the least dscoored. Indeed, it is strong and
beautiful structure, and for entire safety against
fire entirely surpasses, we should think, any
thing of the kind now in use. The safe is pro-
vided with Bacons burglar-proof lock, which
has been recently adopted by most of our banks
SO that those who possess themselves of this val
liable safe have security at once against fire
and burglary which, we feel confident, can no
where else be obtained.
