It is a beauty, and in poor judgment as perfect as anything of the kind that could be made. The burglar proof department is of the lntest invention, and consists of elock work whích raises a strong lever against the bolt ot' the lock preventing it from being sprang nntil the time appolnted, which may be iïom one to sixty-four hours. The special value of this arraiiiremeiit is in the fact that the owners themselves cannot open the safe till the time they haveet the clocks arrive. Henee the old burglar trick of dation is iïustrated. And iiero we see that all things have their uses, even burglare, it was to prevent their depredations that tliis rnasterly piece of raechanism was invented. Besides the clock arrangement there are the ordinary combination lockj and bolts, so li at the safe is as secure as it could possibly bo made. Wc onderstand it is the best in the county, and those who have treasures to hide away in it, alas we have none! may now sleep sweetly without fear of loss. - Dexter Leader. - Horatio Burch, suporvisor of Manchester, furnishes the following statisücs: miruber of acres of wheat grown in tlio townsbip oí Manchester, in 1S71), was 3,810; bush. fsom same, 92,008; avpor acre, 2-1 1-0 busli.; acres now on tlie ground, 4,246; increased average, 436.
