tempt made by burglars upon of your safes in our
counting-room.
The key to the safe in which kept our securities
was locked inside OF our fre-proOf book safe, the
doors OF which were literally cut to pieces; from this
they obtained the key to the other safe and opened
1t. Fortunately we had one of your Burglar-Proof
Bankers Chests inside, in which our vauables were
deposited. This they went to work at with WILL
and evidently used up all their time and tools in vain
attempts to force it. The night dark and stormy
and the fact of their knowing where our key was
kept shows that their plans were well matured They
tried wedging the door and body Of the Chest, and
the faithful safe bears evidence Of the labor and skill
devoted to the work. All was useless and it is with
great satisfaction report that upon opening it we
found our securities all sG and therefore cheer
fully indorse the Burglar-Proof work recommended

You will please send the new safe purchased by us

NEW SUGAR CANE-Col B. W. Sinclair
has been experimenting the present year
with new description of sugar cane,
grown from seed procured in Baltimore
The great trouble with planters in this
climate is to protect the ordinary seed
cane in healthy condition, go that Is
will sprout in the spring; the quantity OF
cane banked prior to frost is 90 criterion
as to the amount the planter will be ems
bled to plant the ensuing spring, as it ire.
qucDtly occurs that more than one half 10
destroyed. The seed which Col. Sinclair
has been experimenting with the present
year grows similar to the sorghum o.
Chinese cane, but is of Ear more valuabls
variety, yields immense quantities Of seed.
which are gathered and housed like tbs
seed Of any ordinary plant. Another ID.
vantage is that the cane natures in July
or August, and can be converted into
syrup or sugar at season when work
upon the plantation is slack. We have
tasted a sample of the syrup made from
this new seed, and find it of excellent
quality and fine flavor; in fact, we prefer
it to the ordinary cane syrup. 1t would
be well for planters to give it trial.-lSuit'
