NEAR AcoUIA CREEK,

Owing to the great exposure and terrible decom-
position after the battle of Antietam, was utterly
Frustrated and very sick. My stomach would not
retain medicine. An article called. Plantation Bit
tors, prepared by DR.. Drake, of New York, was
prescribed to give me strength and an appetite. To
my great surprise they gave me immediate relief
Two bottles almost allowed me to join my regiment
have since seen them used in many
cases, and free to say, for hospital or private
purposes know of nothing like them.

FIREI FIRE! FIREI

PHILADELPHIA, May 80, 1868.
~ O. SadIer Esq. agent for Lilies SAFES:
DEAR SIR; During the night of May 10, 1868,
our Grocery and Provision Store, at North Second
and Willow streets, took FIRE at about o'clock
A. M and as the store was a two-story wood
building it burnt rapidly, and before the fire.
engines could act upon the fire, our whole stock of
goods, including much combustible material, and
amounting to over $4,000 was wholly de-
stroyed. We had one of your No. ii Chilled Iron
Safes which was in the hottest part of the fire. and
it came out of the fire not in the least injured ex-
eept the melting of of the name, plate and paint.
The contents inside not affected in the least
and we consider the Safe just as good a protection
against fire now before, and shall use it hereafter
with increased confidence. r...-.--
Yours truly,
McMANUs & CROFT,
Late 429 North SECOND Street
Attention to the above certificate is particularly
requested, as it is the first trial of LILIES
SAFES in an accidental fire in Philadelphia.
l would say to all parties who want a Fire and
Burglar-proof Safe that LILIES WROUGHT
AND CHILLED IRON SAFES are much the
cheapest and the only real Fire and Burglar Proof
Gales now made; and to those who want simply
Fire-proof, would say that LILIES WROUGHT
IRON SAFE is fully equal in all respects to any of
the most approved makers, and is sold at fully ono
third less price. ~
also am receiving daily in exchange for Lilies
Wrought and Chilled Iron Safes other Safes, and
keep constantly on hand a general assortment Of
makers, many of Thorn almost new, which offer
at, and even below, auction prices.
All parties interested are particularly requested
to examine the Safes above described at nv depot.

me to ask you 10 bring to the notice Of citizens

beef at 81 to sl25, but understand he is determined

The question, then, presents itself-WhAt shall DO
done for home defences would say enrol every man
capable of bearing arms, without exception. Let all
bo organized into companies battaliOns and regiments.
Let them be drilled and subjected to strict discipline,
and brought under the rules and regulations of the reg
uar army. The drills should DO at the most central
points convenient to the men, that they may return
to their families at night and keep the machinery Of
their farms in motion This be dore except at the
battalion or regimenal drills They should never be
taken into camps except in Of extreme necessity
and then for the shortest possible period.
Richmond and Petersburg and also Lynchburg afford
examples of citizen soldiers who have been drilled and
disciplined without being taken from their business and
homes The National Guards of Paris have often az
fOrded demonstration strong proof Of Holy Writ

parts Of the ConfederAcy, have, various occasions,
rendered signal service. without being carried
through the treadmill Of camp exercises

archy no alarm borne to every family by stripping the
country Of its men, The current Of domestic life would
flow on as usual save when some raid eItraor

two And this system need call for expense unless

commissaries quartermasters and the various other
costly officials who belong to tse regular army. The
men can very well carry their provisions and fight
at their own expense. By all avoid giving any
