A Policeman's Duty.


Policeman Ed. X Heath, % North street, Port
land, Me-, May IL, 1858, writes:
II have been troubled for a good many years
with Inflammation of the bladder, dating as far
back as during the time l was in the army l
suffered with dun. heavy pains in the back and
kidneys too intense for me to describe, and tried
several remedies that were recommended, aud
was examined by one of our best physicians, who
pronounced it Inflammation of the bladder, and
1 went to the hospital for treatment, but all
medicine and treatment had seemed to fail |
was recommended TO try Hunts Remedy, as it
had been used In several such cases here in Port
land and vicinity. 1 purchased bottle at
Smiths drug store here. and found after using
the first bottle that it relieved me greatly, and
after using several BOTTLES found that 1t did me
more good than all other medicines and treat
ments have received combined. And to add to
my good opinion of Hunts Remedy, l beg TO
state in closing that my wife has been for long
time troubled with a weakness and Inflammation
OF the bladder, with complication of other di-
seases peculiar to women. After using only two
bottles she has been completely cured; and l can
say that my wife is loud in praise of this won
derful medicine, and would highly recommend
it to all who are suffering from kidney diseases
or diseases OF the bladder"

THE STATES FUNDS.


Thomas i. Chandler and Adolf Scherrer, the
two experts appointed by the Governor 10 make
an examination of the State Treasury vaults,
yesterday submitted their report. AFTER most
careful and thorough examination" they state,
"of the construction Of the treasurer's vault
from the basement up to the roof" they are OF
the opinion that if there should be fire In the
State building, that, the vault is part OF the
building itself, ana is not separate structure
it would be liable to be destroyed. They
also state that they find IN their
Investigations that the vault is not lin any par
ticular burglar proof" However, they think
that the safes row in use in the treasury are
fire-proof but 1.-THE burglar proof doors are at
present in a condition TO admit the use OIL
wedges or iackscrews to force the doors OPEN
and the resistance they offer is not sufficient TO
prevent skiltul burglars from opening the safes
in a very limited time. The relative position
and construction of the locks will admit the use
of punches or explosives" The opinion OF the
experts is, therefore, that "nether the whole
nor any part of the treasury vaults and safes can
be considered TO come within the meaning OF
absolute security and safety against fire and
burglars" They Offer the following suggestions:
'Nlth view of perfect security ana saIetY 10

OF the vault in the State treasury from the
foundation up, enlarglng the same by using the
space now occupied by the nlght-Watchmah'
and constructing it independents OF the
building and making 1t perfectly nre-
proof. We also recommend the pur-
chase of safes of sufficient capacity" Upon re-
celpt of the report Of the experts, the Governor
at once formally notified the Auditor ana
Treasurer of the defective condition OF Ihe
vaults and safe, and, required by law, directed
that they should be made absolutely secure
against fire and burglars,
