A CARD
WITMER's BRIDGE,


Lancaster TIP. July 80, 1860.
MEssRs. EVANS AND WATSON: GENTLEMEN
The small size No. Salamander safe which
l purchased from your agent, Mr.. Adam Z.
Barr, in Lancaster City, on July goth, 1858,
has been subjected to very severe test
which it wiLhstood in most satisfactory
manner. This Safe, containing all my books
together with valuable papers belonging to
myself and some to my neignbors and friends
and represeting value of over Twenty Thous-
and Dollars, $50, ,o0o) was in my Mill which
was destroyed on the night of the 9th of Ju.
ly, 1860, and passed Though the fiery ordeal
unsca.hed. The Safe was on the second floor
and fell to the basement or the Mill, and was
subjected for six hours to an intense heat
among the ruins, 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 ana
papers taken out IN a state of perfect preser-
vation, the paper not even being discol0rea
This fact was, however, to many bystanders
a better recommendation of your SAFES thar
could be expressed in any other words from
me. Yours Respectfully,
[se13 SAMUEL RANCH,

French Society for the protection of ami
mails is to the following effect. A coun-
tryman, armed with an immense club,
presents himself before the President of
the Society and claims the great prize.
He is asked to describe the act of hu-
panity on which he founds his claim.
"I saved the life of wolf,'' replied the
countryman. "l might have easily killed
him with this bludgeon;" and he swung
the weapon in the air, to the intense dis
comfort Of the Preside ent.
"But where was the wolf 2" inquired

B9- We are informed of recent occur.
renee in Darlington District, which is wor.
thy: of more general notoriety thar it
is likely to obtain from mere neighborhood
gossip. A lady had stored up a considera-
BILE quantity of lard, upwards Of a thousand
pounds, which she was willing to sell at IS
per pound, but not a cent less. She had
also smokehouse. crammed full of bacon,
for which she likewise demanded IS per
pound, and although she was repeatedly
offered So, SO so, and even 81, she persis.
ted inexorably in her demand ofS5. The
impressing officer of the District, being in
want of bacon and lard for the army, called
on her one day last week, and politely in
formed her that she must consider her lard
and bacon as purchased by the Government,
at Government prices-that is, 50 per pound
for the bacon, and 81. so for the lard. In q
few hours every pound of the articles in
her possession was placed in the railroad
cars, with instructions "on to Richmond !"
and We have no doubt they will reach their
destination. The difference between the
sum received from the Government and
what would have. been cheerfully paid by
her neighbors, will amounts to at least
$4,000. We commend this proceeding to
the imitation of impressing officers through
out the State, and trust that wherever cases
of boarding of provisions for extortionate
prices is brought to their attention they will
apply the remedy promptly and thoroughly.

victory was gained over vastly superior
numbers, and the army of the Potomac was
driven from the field, leaving all of its dead
and many of its wounded in our hands

many of the prisoners state, the act was one

them suffered death. by fire is we'll estab-
