MEssRs. EVANS AND WATSON: GENTLEMEN
The small size No. Salamander safe which
l purchased from your agent, Mr.. Adam r.
Barr, in Lancaster City, on July goth, 1853,
has been subjected to very severe test,
which it withsteod 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 Theus-
and Dollars, $50, ,0OO) was in my Mill which
was destroyed on the night of the 9th of Ju-
", 1860, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unscathed. 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.ls, which was greatly increased
by the combustion of large quantity of grain
confined within The brick walls After the
fire the safe was opened and the books and
papers taken out in q state of perfect preser-
Yation, the paper not even being discolored
This fact was, however, TO many bystanders
a better recommendation Of your Safes than
could be expressed in any other words from
me. Yours Respectfully,

THE GARDEN SPOT OF THE WORLD.
From the LeavenwOrth Her.ldl

FROM the IeavenwoFth Herald
Without any doubt whatever, Kansas is
destined to be acknowledged "the garden
spot of tie world" Her excellent and ca
silly cultivated soil, delightful climate, anG
her position as the great center Of the Uni
ted States, will give 10 her an importance
and secure for her a prosperity of which
her enierPrising citizens may Justly be
proud. True, it will take few years TO re-
cover from the i'll effects of internecine Do
litical broils, as well as the unjust, uncaIled
for, ignorant and slanderous reports Of some
of the New York papers. who represent our
State as the connecting link of that "barren
waste, the great desert, whose parcbing
winds sweep over the mountainsand fall up
on it like the heated blasts from fiery fur
mace" aud unavoidsbly destroy the crops
every season. Editors who make such
statements in regard to our soil and climate,
must certainly be extremely ignorant of the
geography Of this country and the relative
heat of summer natural to the different lat
itudes-or they do so for the express pur-
pose of injuring. to still further extent, .
temporarily oppressed people. .......
But let them publish what they will,
facts will fully demonstrate themselves, and
the infamous lies about our State which
have been sOwn broadcast over our country,
will only fall back upon the authors with q
force which will evidently rebound to Our
credit.
We unhesitatingly say that there is no
Territory in the Union, that has been open
ed for settlement, which has made such
rapid strides as Kansas-none that can boast
of finer farms. farm houses, and all the
comforts and conveniences of life-and
none at the present time has finer. pros
pect for an excellent crop. Accounts from
all parts of the State represent the wheat
fields as numerous. and all looking extrsor-
binary well, and the farmers hard at work,
determined to plant extensively, TO regain
the loss Of last season.
We are glad to chronicle this energy on
the part of the farmers, and it is an event
not at all impossible. that Kansas may be
called upon to repay the over generous
bounty of many of the older and more ia
vored States, whose sympathetic veins have
been unnecessarily bled by spectators up
on the priValions of few of the poor but
honest pioneers of our State.

Pages might be copied from competent
authorizes to prove these statements, but,
we think, no one will attempt to deny them.
Aud, since they are true, the best thing a
Kansas farmer can do IS to set about the Gull

take the trouble to fence field. and then
plough few burrows around it. TO keen off
