Safe At Post Office Blown Open

On the night of the 19th or morning of the 20th inst., my safe at the post office was blown open by burglars, and what was not stolen was destroyed or charred beyond identification by fire. In said safe were certain notes of hand, drafts, acceptances, and due bills, due to the undersigned, or to the Pontiac Gazette Co., endorsed by the undersigned or by said company. Now therefore, this is to warn all parties against receiving or negotiating for any instrument in writing, note, check, draft, or due bill, wherein the undersigned, or the Pontiac Gazette Company are a party, which said instrument or instruments bear the date anterior to March 21, 1877, as all such have been stolen, and payment on the same been stopped. - signed C.
