We sold safes and locks to the above
State Bank, and received the following
certificate:
Iowa CITY, Iowa, Jan. II, '59.
This osrtiRes that the undersigned pur-
chased for the use Of the State Bank of
lows, Of Lewis Lille, of Troy, N. Y, his
patent Wrought and Chilled Iron Vault
Doors and Frames, Bank Locks, and two
of his Burglar Proof Safes. In his con-
tract with us, Mr.. Lille gave us the priv
ilege Of testing his safes in any manner
likely to be resorted TO by burglars, before
paving for them, which his competitors for
The contract-Mr. W. W. Bacon, of New
Haven, Conn, and Mr.. Goodrich, AgentfOr
Messrs. Duryee s. Forsy th, Of Rochester, N.
Y.-did not propose to do, but claimed that
Mr.. Lilies safes would not stand the test,
if & gentleman whom they should select
were allowed to operate upon them.
We have this day had the safes so pur.
chased Of Mr.. Lille, tested. The operation
was performed by Mr. Samuel Miller, Of
Iowa City, who is a skillful mechanic, and
who had been indicated by Messrs. Bacon
and Goodrich to be q suitable person tC
make such test, and whom we also consid
cred to be suitable person for that pur
pose.
(Afer describing the test, which i
lengthy, they 90 on to say:)
Being satisfied thst the safes were a
good as Mr. Lille had contracted to delive
US, We dispensed with any further testing
and accepted them.
Mr.. Lille has, throughout this matter
acted literally and hOnorsbly by us, an
we take pleasure in recommending hiE
and his work to persons needing articles /
his line.

Teams,er,, Families.

EDS. LEADER: Although frequent alluuion
hes been made in your paper to the wants
Of teamsters' families, do not believe our
citizens are aware Of the extent Of suffering
among them. Cases like the following have
come to my knowledge, and there are no
doubt many others: A woman and her child
rem lived Eve days on twenty two cents. and
then only got temporary relief. Another
had TO carry her bed-quilt to the auction
room, being entirely out Of wood and food.
The husbands of these women are in Vir-
ginia, in the employ OF our government, and
will remit to their families as soon as they
get their pay; in the mean time they need
temporary relief, and should receive it,
The Cleveland Musical Society have tender
ed the proceeds OF concert for the relief Of
these families, after paying debt due by
them for current expenses. If this concert
is literally patrOnizod, the surplus may be
sufficient for the wants OF these families un-
til they receive remittancesj but something
should be done for the coming week-wIll
not our citizens leave their contributions at
your Officer H. F. B.

BUILDING IN NORTHERN CITIEs.-In Bos ton
the buildings put up during the year 1864 was
0SI, and their cost IS 97S, l6l. This was less
by four millions OF dollars than the year pre-
vlous, but the large expenditure OF that year
was owing 10 several blocks OF buildings of
great magnitude and cost. The number and
cost OF the buildings last year viii show, how
ever, a very handsome addition 10 the city Of
Boston OF these buildings, the ournai says
the appearance of an enlarged, liberal and
cultivated taste in the style of modern struc-
lures is strikingly apparent. In New York
city the great depression in rents, owing to the
stlgnation in business, is putting a check TO
building operations, and the Tribune says
there will probably be a less number of build
ings this year than fourteen or fifteen years
ago. Notwiths tanding this, the additions dur
ing the last year have been large, and the
buildings of a costly character. adding greatly
to the embellishments OF the city.

TIE CHAMPION SKATER.--H. G.. Carr, of
Union Springs, New York, who has chal-
lenged the world for a trial of speed OH skates,
was at Auburn last week, and in company
with party of young gentlemen, gave spe-
cimen of his quality on the lake The Ad-
vertiser speaks of him as follows
After seeing the gentleman on the ice, and
witnessing some of his tremendous bursts of
speed, we are ready to believe that, under fa-
yorable clrcums tances, with good ice and
strong steady wind, he can do his mile in two
minutes. His strides, when under fun mo-
tion, are about twenty-five feet, and he pass
es our best skaters us easily as Flora Temple
would pass our friend Martin Calyin's mali
wagon.
One fair and square jump, clear from the
Ice, measured eigh teen feet and nine inches,
and he offered to bet twenty-five dollars that
he could add three feet to that length, with
no takers. Mr.. Carr came out yesterday for
the purpose of accommodating the man who
offered TO bet one hundred dollars, through
the Union, several days ago that he could run
eight rods on the ice, without skates, fas ter
than any person could skate the same distance.
Carrs challenge has been accepted by gen
tleman of Rochester.
