BOSTON FIRE-ALARM TELEGRAPH. - SPECIAL NOTICE.
The fact that an aların-box is located near their residence, and where the key is kept, should be known to all persons, both male and female; and the simple man- ner of giving an alarm in case of fire should be a matter of common education. The Board of Fire Commissioners recommend to all persons who may see this notice, that they make the necessary inquiries, to enable them, in case of need, either to get the key, and give an alarm, or to direct others to do so. Time saved in this way may sometimes prevent a conflagration.
In case of fire, follow these
DIRECTIONS.
Get the key to the nearest box to the fire.
Open the box; pull the hook all the way down ONCE, and let go.
Wait one full minute for the sound of the bells.
If you hear no sound, pull again, and the third time if you get no sound.
If you fail the third time, go to the next nearest box, and do the same there; but do not touch any other box if the nearest one gives the alarm.
After giving the alarm, remain a while if possible by the box, so as to direct the firemen to the fire.
SECOND ALARMS. - No person will give alarms for the same fire (after the first alarm has been given), without an order from an Engineer; and the person so ordered will be sure to go to the sante ber from which the first alarm was given, and report the same to the Chief Engineer. If, however, a fire breaks out while another is burning in a different section of the city, a second alarm can be given by a Police Officer without waiting for an order from an Engineer.
CAUTIONS TO PERSONS HOLDING SIGNAL KEYS.
I. Never open the box or touch the apparatus except in case of fire.
2. Never sound the alarm for a fire seen at a distance.
3. Be reasonably sure there is a fire before sounding the alarm.
4. Be sure your box is locked before leaving it.
5. Never let the key go out of your possession, except to some responsible person to give an alarm of fire; and be sure the key is returned.
6. If you remove from your house, or place of business, return the key to the Fire-Alarm Office without delay.

Hub Punch is growing in favor among our customers, and we hear many complimentary opinions on its merits. The increasing popularity of the article is pleasant testimony to your success in using exclusively the best and purest components. PARK & TILFORD.
Dear Sirs: - The increased sales of Hub Punch among our always most critical consumers is evidence of its superior merit. Yours truly, ACKER, MERRALL & CONDIT.
BOSTON.
The sales of Hub Punch have greatly exceeded our expectations, and are . constantly increasing. S. S. PIERCE & C ).
The constantly increased demand for your Hub Punch satisfies us it pos- sesses real merit. JOHN GILBERT, Jr., & Co.
TO LOVERS OF GOOD THINGS ; Boston, Nov , ISSo.
Hardly fifteen months have elapsed since we first brought Hub Punch to general notice through the public press. Hardly a day now passes but thatorders come for shipment of our preparation. in lots of from 12 to 50 cases, to points 2,00 miles from Boston, and to points where we have never advertised a dollar. To the question, "What is it like ?" we will say it has a character of its own ; it is unlike any other Punch. It is as good as can be made from Pure Liquors of our own importation. Our word for it, its character and present high standing shall be main- tained at all hazards. C. H. GRAVES &- SOVS,
