Lancaster Tp. July 80, 1860.
MEssRs. EVANS AND WATSON: GENTLEMEN
The small size No. | Salamander safe which
| purchased from your agent, Mr.. Adam r.
Bacr, in Lancaster City, on July goth, 1858,
has been subjected to a very severe test,
which 1T wilhstood in 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 a value of over Twenty Thous-
and Dollars, (S20,000) was in my Mill which
was destroyed on the night Of the 2Tth of Ju-
ly, 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.is 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 state of perfect preser-
vation, 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 Respectable

FNHE WEEKLY PRESS.

THE WEEKLY PRESS has been established
on n secure and permanent foundation; but it
is in reality, marvellous example of the de-
gree of favor which rightly-conducted LIT
ERARY, POLITICAL AND NEWS JOURNAL
can receive at the hands of liberal and en-
lightened Public.
The general features of the Paper, in addi-
ton to its POLITICAL AND NEWS DEPART
NETS, will be POETRY, SKETCHES, BIOG-
RAPHY and Original and Selected TALES,
chosen for their lessons of Life, illustrations
of History, depicture of Manners, and general
merit, and adapted, in their variety, to the
tastes of both sexes and all ages.
THE LITERARY CHARACTER
OF THE WEEKLY PRESS, now universally
acknowledged TO be of elevated stamp,
shall not only maintain its present high STAN
ding, but shall be enhanced by important and
valuable contributions from able Writers.
THE POLITICAL COURSE
OF THE WEEKLY PRESS need not be enlar-
ged upon here. Independent, steady and
fearless, it has battled unwaveringly and re al
ously in defence of THE RIGHTS OF THE
PEOPLE against Executive Usurpation and
Unfair and Tyrannical Legislation; ever de-
claring and adhering to the doctrine that
POPULAR SOVEREIGNTY constitutes the
fundamental basis of our free institutions and
that the intelligence and patriotism of our
Citizens will always be preservative of just,
wise and salutary Government. These are
the principles to which TIE WEEKLY PRESS
has been committed, and to these it Will ad-

A Lyrical Gem.


IThe following lullaby is sufficiently tender
and musical to make every woman who reads
it wish for baby to sing it to:
Come to my arms, you bewildering elf,
Let me gather YOU, body and soul, to myself
Bury your scintillant eyes and hair,
And all the glory and grace you wear.
From twinkling feet to golden crown.
Clasping you close to my bosom and heart,
A thing of my holiest being part;
Grooming a song in olden rhyme,
Tender and sweet as a vesper chime.
Sleep, baby boy;
The little birds rest,
Downy and soft,
In the mother birds nest;
The lambkins are safe
In the shepherds warm fold;
The dewdrop's asleep
In the butter-cup's gold.
The violet mods "A
To the daisy'S dream
The lily lies hushed
On the lap of the stream;
And holy and calm
Like motherly eyes,
The stars look down
From the silent skies.
Sleep, baby boy,
My birding, my flower,
My lily, my lambkin,
My dew-drop, my DOVER
While heart against heart
Beats softly in time
To the murrnuring flow
Of my tender old rhyme.
