dorse The libel contained in that article, we
shall be happy to give such endorser an oPPor-

he prefer it, to make them good in a more sum

Messrs. FARREL, HERRING & CO.,
PHILApFLPHIA.
Genilemen-The close attention which our own
affairs have required since the fire, has hitherto pre-
vented us from writing TO you about the Safe.
On the occasion of the fire 18th July, by which We
suffered large loss, store, with number ofother
buildings, consumed. The Safe, of your manu-
factnre, which we had in the store, exposed to
a most intense heat, is well atested by the effects
on its strong iron frame, which, from its faxed and
scaly appearance, looks as though it had been heat
ed for long time in a furnace. The Safe, with
heaps of molten glass and kegs OF nails, fused
fell INTO the cellar, surrounded by burning
terlais, and there was suffered remain, (as the
contents had been removed before the 6re reached
ns,l until the I'd Of August, Il days afterwards.
The difficulty in cutting it open with the best
tools that could be procured, convinced us~ OF lis
power to resist the attempts of burglars, and when
II was opened, found the Interior to the asonisE
ment OF all, entirely uninured by fire.
This test has fully convncei us of the capabli-
ties of your Safes, that would not part with tho
one we have in for large sum, were We debar,
red the privilege of getting another.
Respectfully yours,
f. II. WARDLAW L son.

FcRrHER IMPORTANT Dl5covERY OF GUANo.
We understand that further large and vaIua-
bic deposits OF guano, IN the vicinity OF Jarvis
and Bakers Islands, have been discovered, and
formal possession has been taken of the islam ds
by the citizens of the United States, in pnrsu-
ance OF the act of Congress passed in 1856
Among these islands thus taken possession Of,
and now pertaining TO the United States, are
Arthur's, Howland's Christmas and MaIdeB's-
at one Of which, we are informed by The cap
tain recently returned, and who took posses
sion thereof, there is land locked haIbor capa-
bic OF holding five hundred ships, and with a
good anchorage in from five to seven tathoms Of
water, in lagoon ten or twelve miles long, and
from five 10 six miles broad, aud which is en-
tered from bay where ships can anchor safely
in from seven to ten fatboms smooth water
A large portion of the face of this island
is stated 10 be covered with guano. and especi-
ally around the lagoon, four miles in extent, the
deposit is found from two to fur feet deep in an
inPal lpable powder, resembling Scotch snuff.

ANOTHER New COUNTERFEIT ON THE STATE
BANK or Onio.--A new and rather dangerous
counterfeit was shown us by a Third street ban
keT yesterday morning, and having seenseVefal OF
the same kind since, we concluded that they are
numerous n our midst. They are on the State
Bank of Ohio-wii rogues never weary of ma
king counterleits on this institution ?-of the
denomination OF two, and, though the engraving
looks badly 10 practical eye, the bill will, no
doubt, pass with retail dealers who are not eau
toned against it; indeed, as il is a small note,
very convenient in making change, we think it
will prove decidedly dangerous, especially TO
persons not familiar with bank notes. The sha-
ding about the word ''Two,'' running diagonalIy
across the lower part OF the bill, is heavier than
in the genuine, and the head Of Webster, at the
left end, is badly done. However, as the spu-
rious "Two'' is nearly an eighth Of an inch
shorter than the genuine, measurement with a
good bill will enable one TO determine the coun-
terleit.- Cincinnati Enquirer, Dec. 25.
