MEssRs EVANS AND WATSON: GENTLEAEN-
The small size No. Salamander safe winch
purchased from your agent, Mr.. Adam H.
Bar, in Lancaster City, on July 2oth, 1895,
has been subjected to a very severe test,
which it withstood 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 rcpreseting valne of over Twenty Ihous-
and Dollars, $50, ,0OO) was in my Mill which
was DESTROYED on the night of the 27th or 1u.
Iy, 1860, and passed through the fiery ordeal
unsca.hed. The Safe was on the second moor
and fell to the basement of the Mill, ana was
subjected for six hours to an intense heat
among the rui.is, which was greatly increased
by the combustion of a large quantity OF gram
confined within The brick walls AFTER the
fire the safe was opened and the books anu
papers taken out in state of perfect preser-
vation, the paper not even being discoiored.
This fact was, however, to many oystanders
a better recommendation of your Sa'es than
could be expressed in any other words from
me. Yours ResPeStiui,y,

nA- Nor Wester, tho New York cor
respondent of the Boston Post, relates the
following incident of one of the fortunate
specalations of the Gay:
In the summer of 1861, young man
who happened to have $4,000 burning
in his pocket, but whose fears conseled
him to keep it out of the usual channels
of trade, called on one of our heavy ship
ping merchants, who is also president Of
a city bank, and asked his advice as to how
t. use his money. The merchant sug-
gested his Investing in purchase of tar,
the article at that time selling at one dol
lar barrel, with every prospect of soon
being on the advance. The young man
took the advice, bough. ten thousand
barrels of tar, and stored it away for a
rise. After keeping it until last fall, he
concluded to realize on his investment,
and sold out at $40 per barrel, or forty
times its original cost, receiving his origi-
nal capital of $4,000, and the slight ac-
eumnlation of $4,000 as the dividend
thereon.

1t had been led tor many years by
one of the deacons, whose voice and
musical power had been gradually fail
ing"
One evening the clergyman gave out
the hymn, which was in metrical measure,
rather harder than usual, and the deacon
lo.l off. Upon its conclusions the minister
arose and said -
"Brother B-will please repeat the
hymn, as l cannot conscientiously pray
after such sinsing!'
The deacon very composedly pitched
it to another tune, with manifest
improvement upon the first effort, and the
clergyman proceeded with his prayer
Having finished, he took up book
to give the second hymn, when he was
interrupted by the deacon gravely getting
up and saying in voice audible to the
whole congregation:
"Will Mr.. -p please make another
prayer? 1t will be impossible for me to
sing after such praying as that -

Sag Recently a number oe rebel pris-

boat Major Roybold. Before the boat
started from the wharf, Philadelphia
copperhead scrapcd the acquaintance of a
Major among the rebel party. The
doughface was profuse in attention to him,
and paid marked Difference to the prison
er. He finally left him with warm pro-
fessiors of regard, aud earnest protesta-
tions of willingness to do anything in his
power to serve him. A feeling of disgust
was evident in the face OF the rebel, and
this feeling found utteraDce in words when
the Copperhead left the boat. 10 gen.
tleman with whom the prisoner had
engaged in conversation little while
before. the latter used the strongest Ian
guagc of contempt and disgust to the
Copperhead. He called him miserable
sneaking traitor, who was sympathizing
with the open enemies of the Government
under the protection of which he was
living, and to which he owed allegiance
lie said that Southern Men despised such
contemplate rccreants, and he expressed
surprise that society in the North should
tolerate such traitors, and that the Gov
crnment should suffer them to 60 unpun-
ished. Such sentiments from the lips of
rebel soldiers, like the recent editorial in
the Richmond Inquirer upon Northern
Copperheads, should make the latter feel
particularly mean.
