GROWTH OF BosToS.-We were struck, dunng
our flying visit to Boston last week, With eyiden-
ees OF the substantial prosperity ana growth oi
that wealthy City. Every where Business moves
on with steady. thrifty pace; while IN the
Southern part OF the City, the numbers and the
magnitude OF the new buildings now IN progress
exceed any thing we remember OF Boston. That
section Of the City We refer to was under water
ten years ago, and stout ships lay where now
stand the Worcester and Western Railroad Depot
and the magnificent United States Hotel, sur
rounded by hundreds of the finest stores and dwell
lings. Sc goes Boston ahead
Speaking of the United States Hotel: We
looked hastily through that noble establishment
during our visit. and deem it worthy a passing
notice. 1t is by far the largest Hotel in Boston
containing 800 rooms, and accommodating Gle.
gantly 400 guests. 1t is supplied with water
from Jamaica Pond, -four miles distant, which Is
pumped up by steam engine TO any part of the
house Abundance OF water is held in reserve II
the upper stores in case of fire.
The culinary arrangements of this house are
especially worthy of regard. 4 single FIRE serves
to cook for FIVE hundred persons, for their wash
ing and to propel the steam engine which sends
water to every part of the building. Barrels of
vegetables, &c, may be boiled at any time far
from the fire and without . drop Of water, by
simply placing them in the boilers and letting in
hot steam upon them by touch of the finger.
The washing Is done without lifting a pail OF
water; cold or hot flowing into the wash-tubs
when wanted and running out as readily. Iron
ing is done IN no time with gigantic roller, the
clothes being dried thoroughly in one hour, what
ever the weather.
In the baths, you have salt or fresh water, hot
or cold, by touch. Such are some of the econ
omics of this splendid establishment and it is
needless to add that the comforts and luxuries are
equally remarkable. Messrs. Holman & Clark,
the hosts, have already won an enviable reputa-
ton and generous patronage, which they are
constantly increasing.
