GLOUCESTER, March 26, 1864.
MEssRs TILTON & MCFARLAND,
Safe Manufacturers Boston, Mass.
Gentlemen From representations made by Mr.
Lille, was induced to purchase one of his
So Called ''Fire-PrOOf Safes.''
On the 18th of February last, fire occurred in
our block which desroyeda number of buildings,
and our own with the rest. We trusted our books,
papers and all in the safe. After the fire the So
called "safe" was taken from the ruins, and opening
it we found that
Everything had been Destroyed.
We send you the safe with what is left of the pa
pers and you will that not one of them is egblo
strong enough to sustain its own weight. Having
the curiosity to know how neighbOrs Jared in this
fire, we noticed MessTs. Mckenzie & Hardy Just
opening their safe CLIFTON & McFARLAND'S
make), and its comforts were found to be
In Perfect Condition.
This led rs to further investigation, and we found
to our astonishment that from the large amount OF
cOmbustible material in Messrs. Mex. d II. H.slcear-
such as lard, pork etc., their safe subjected to
much greater heat than that of our own, we being
in the clothing business and had but little in the
cellar. There was another of Lilies safes heresub
jected to the fire, faring, however, no better
than ours. Very respectfully, your obedient ser
wants, Sgned:I GEO. L. CHEsBRO & co.

bearing their statement Of the case,
that so many complaints had reached
him from various quarters Of the as

of quotas for the several States, and had
arrived at the conclusion that no candid

credits have been deducted He further
stated that although the policy which
had been adopted by the Provost Mar
shal General, for the assignment of the
respective quotas, met his entire appro

by which exact justice could be secured
in view Of the fact that the aggregate o
