ERE PRooF SAFEs.-Where the safety and
preservation of Records of our towns, county
and Probate Districts, any other protection,
than the most reliable which sciencs and me
chanical experience has up to the present time
developed, should be held as inexcusable. The
vast Importance of the preservation FROM fire Of
our public records is of too serious a nature to
be partially provided for, by placing them UNI
der such protection as will not stand the scruti- |
ny Of everyday experience and the test of the
most familiar laws OF science. The principles
involved in the manufacture of Fire Proof
Safes, arc as worthy of study and consideration
from those to whom Is entrusted the charge Of
our public documents, - would be given to
any other interest of ths people, submitted to
the keeping of cur pubic officers.
To be added to these in portant considerations,
is the fact that tho msarlsof contrasting fires in
country towns, are not as etfectual as in cities,
and the absencs Of these means. renders the
safest provision for the protection Of our public
documents, tbemore necessary. The Marldnd's
Patent Safe seems to be the only safe that pre-
sents the undisputable principles in its construc-
tion that will warrant lis in feeling secure in all
emergea@es. And We have this conviction more
strongly forced upon us, by the testimony Of
such high authorities as the eminent Drs. Hayes
and jackson, assayers to the State Of Mass,
who, upon examining the principles upon which
this safe is built, testify, /" That this Safe is &C.
cure in any fire, the intensity of which is less
than sufficient to melt the whole mass Of iron
and stone. The door, where the heat Of q fire
is most likely to act on the contents Of the safe,
temperature of heat as any other portion Of
the walls, and this is all that can be expected Of
any SAFE And we would add, more than can
be said of any other
As vcrifcation of these opinions, the last
test this safe experienced at Darlington, in TIT
burning Of the Pioneer Mechanics Shop, ii
April last, where the heat ,oas so intense i,
the division m achich the safe Stood that it mel
ed the machinery shatting, hangers, &C., int
masses so that om Of thirty tons, no! half a ton
,oas fit for use again. These evidences of thu
superiority of this safe, we believe to be suii
cient to convince all persons. Samples of thes
safes can bc seen at the stores Of Messrs Eli
and Hatch. Montpelier, Henry, Gray and Perry
of Bellows Falls Messrs. Sherwin and Burgess
(agents.) Grafton ; also, Messrs. NJ. A. Evert
and Co., Ballard Brothers, N Parker, Miles AM
House, Burlington; ard various other places II

These safes are manufactured by Messrs. M
B. Bigelow and Arson Hardy Boston, Mass.
