SEcURITY.-We notice by our exchanges
that among the special depostors at the Free
mans Bank, Boston, was one who had by
strict economy and attention amassed the
sum OF ten thousand dollars which he had in
vested in securities, and for safety placed them
in the outer vault of the bank. During the fire
the vault fell into the cellar and in descent iu
was broken open, admitting the flames, result
ing in the total destruction of the special de-
posits 1t is too late to remedy this casualty
but are there not many in our city who are
trusting to vaults ne stronger. or in better posi-
ton than this vault was at noon of Saturday
last? Are not many others relying upon the
ordinary safe, or to the secreting their valu-
ables at home for protection against burglars
and fires. Should not common prudence sug-
gest to them the propriety of securing the
benefits afforded by the Safe deposit Vault
particularly as it can be done at rates less than
those charged for insurance against loss by fire

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12.-An investigation
into the charges of corruption and bribery in
the City Councils commenced to-day and so
far as testimony is taken shows that most of
the venalty rivals that exposed in New York
last year. The testimany of reliable witnesses
fully corroborated, shows there was wood
paving 'ring'' designed to swindle the city;
that a large sum of money was raised for the
purpose of bribing members of the Council to
for wood pavement on Broad street; that the
affair was concocted and carried on in the office
of one of the members of the Council and that
when member threatened to go back on the
whole concern threats were made to kill him.
=. The testimony as far as taken duplicates
many outsiders. 1t is believed that those who
are exposing the affair do so at the risk OF
their lives. Some of those implicated in it
being also implicated in the Brooks, Mora and
Dougherty affair.
