rENHE NEW YORK TRIBUNE!!

We trust that those who do not now receive
THE TRIBUNE will subscribe for it without
delay. The club price of THE WEEKLY
TRIBUNE and THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIB-
UNE is so low that there are but few in any
community unable to take it. Henceforth,
THE TRIBUNE, as the principal paper support
ing the new Administration, will be peculiarly
interesting, while outside of politics its reli-
able Foreign and Domestic News, It's Com
mercial and Agricultural Intelligence and its
Literary Department, give TO it interest and
value which no other paper on this Continent
can boast of. How ably and successfully TIE
TRIBUNE has conducted the campaign now so
gloriously ended, the result in New York fully
attests, and TO the untiring exertions, signal
capacity and foresight of HORACE GREELEY is
due much of the glory of the victory over
which a nation of Freemen are now rejoicing.
1t is, therefore, the duty of every true Repub-
lican to aid in giving THE TRIBUNE still
larger circulation. As evidence of its pOpu-
larity and reliability, we may state that last
week over Sir Hundred Thousand copies were
soda circumstance unprecedented in the
annals of journalism.-GuG and Gazette

MEssRs. EVANS AND WATSON: GENTLEMEN
The small size No. Salamander safe which
| purchased from your agent, Mr.. Adam K.
Bar, in Lancaster City, on July 2Oth 1858,
has been subjected to very severe test,
which it wilhstood in a most satisfactory
manner. This Safe, containing all my books
together with valuable papers belonging to
myself and some to my neighbors and friends,
and represeting value of over Twenty Thous-
and Dollars, ($2O, ,OO0) was in my Mill which
was destroyed on the night of the 9th of Ju-
ly, 1860, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unsca.hed. The Safe was on the second floor
and fell to the basement of the Mill, and was
subjected for six hours to an intense heat
among the rui.is, which was greatly increased
by the combustion of large quantity of grain
confined within the brick walls After the
fire the safe opened and the books and
papers taken ont in state of perfect preser-
vation, the paper not even being discolored.
This fact was, however, to many bystanders
better recommendation of your Safes than
could be expressed in any other words from
me- Yours Respectfully,

Serene of look and heart,

In the warm frostless evenings, such as

but more natural and enjoyable festivities

no display of expensive dress and dazzling
iewelry, which are too often the regalla
of idleness and vice. ''The apple pairing

guard quartered in a house near Alexandria.
They succeeded in passing the picket guard and
battery of the enemy mounted on Shutters Hill,
and arrived at the point at 8 o'clock, where the
party they were in pursuit of were encamped.
Their sentnels shot one of our men, when the Lin.

He is dead, so brave, so gifted,
Called from early fame away;
From his eyes the veil is lifted
Of the bright, immortal day.
But a few days since We listened
To the silver Of his voice;
And his fearless eye it glistened,
And his manly heart rejoiced.
I was grand to see the youthful
Feryor Of his patriot heart;
And to listen to the truthful
Words he could SO well ignpart.

Dm'd the eye and hush'd his tones,
From our eyes the tears are starting,
and we check the spirits groans.
