superintend the burning Of the Iron
Safes at Reading, Feb. 27th, 1857.

The undersigned, members of the Commit
lee, do respectfully report, that we saw The

manufactured by Evans g. Watson, and put
in books and papers precisely alike.
The fire was started al 81 O'Clock, A. NJ,
and kept up until four cords of green hickory,
two cords dry oak and half chestnut Top wood
were entirely consumed, the whole under
the superinlendence OF the subscribers, MEM
be:s oil the Committee. The Safes were then
cooled off with water, after which they were
opened, agd The books and papers taken out
by the COMMITTEE and sent 10 II. A. LanIZ's
store for public examination, after they were
first examined and marked by the Commit
lee. The books and papers taken from The
Safe manufactured by Evans & Watson were
but slightly affected by the intense heat,
while those taken from the Sale manufac-
tured by Farrels s. Herring were, in our iudg.
ment, damaged fully fifteen per cent more
than those taken from Evans & Watson's
Safe.
