observe that the United States Bank building and
lot. on Chestnut street, Philadelphia, is to be
sold under the hammer of the sheriff, at the Ex-

The building is a magnificent of the finest mar
be and the lot fronting 80 feet - inches on Chest
nut street, runs through over 300 feet to Library
street, on which it fronts l6l feet ! inches. To
what purpose Will the property be appropriated
hereafter The most appropriate would be to turn
it into prison to keep for life the Infamous villains
who have plundered the people of many millions.
