On the morning of the 14th u1t., the store owned
and occupied by me in this city, was, with its con-
tents, entirely consumed by fire. My stock of goods
consisted of oil, rosin, lard, pork, sugar, molasses,

in the midst of which was one of Rich’s Improved
Patent Salamander Safes, which I purchased last
October of Mr. Isaac Bridge, New Orleans, and
which contained my books and papers. This safe
was red hot, and did not cool sutlicicntly to be open-
ed until 16 hours after it was taken from the ruins.
At the expiration of that time it was unlocked, when
its contents proved to be entirely uninjured, and not
even discolored. ‘I deem this test suflicient to show
that the high reputation enjoyed by Rich’s Safes is
well merited. S. C. Fienn.
TEST No. ll.——Cert1_?/iczzte.

By the fire which occurred in this village on the
27th July last, our Law Oifice, together with many
other buildings: was destroyed——we had in our ofiice
one of Rich’s Improved Patent Salamander Safes,
which, though heated red hot, preserved, without be-
ing the least damaged, many papers valuable to our
clients—the envelopes of a few papers being slightly
scorched. Some twenty-tour hours after the fire, the
Safe was removed, and so hot was it, that several
hours were required for it to cool off. Our office
was in the second story of a large brick building, all
the wood used in construction of said house being
pitch pi-ne. While the Safe was red hot, one of the
walls tumbled in, and so injured the lock that it was
necessary to break the door open. From this test,
we feel no hesitancy in recommending “ Rich’s Pa-
tent Salamander Safe” as enti7‘elyfw'c proof.

S pikes., The Troy Iron and Nail Factory keeps
constantly for sale a very extensive assortment of
Wrought Spikes and Nails, from 3 to 10 inches,
inanulac_ture_d by the subscriber’s Patent Machinery,
which after five years’ successful operation, and now
almost universal use in the United States (as well
as England, where the subscriber obtained a patent)
are found superior to any ever offered in market.

Railroad companies may be supplied with Spikes
having countersink heads suitable to holes in iron
rails, to any amount and on short notice. Almost
all the railroads now in progress in the United States
are fastened with Spikes made at the above named
factory--for which purpose thctaly arexfound invalua-
as their adhesion is more an double any com-
mon spikes made by the hammer."

All orders directed to the Agent, Troy, N. York
will be punctually attended to. - -
