MODEL HousE--A. B. Young, ESQ.,, the archi-
tect OF the United States Treasury Department,
is erecting house for his own residence on 18th
street, below Pennsylvania avenue and fronting
the extension of the Presidents Park. When
completed, this will be of the most elegant and
commodious houses in the city. The style of ar
cEftecture Is modification of the Italian. The
window frames and cornices are of iron, and the
brick work will be covered with mastic The
hJuso is three full stories in height, with wing
of the same height in the The windows
are provided with inside blinds which slide
back on castors, like folding DOORS The princi-
pal drawing-room is in the second story, and occu-
pies the whole front of the house. The windows
of this apartment command fine view of those
Virginia hills, beyond which John Randolph saw
the sun setting, as he emerged from the Capitol
and the sight of which induced him to ask himself
what is all this political squabbng worth, and to
determine to return to the bosom Of such constitu
ents as no man ever had before, and to whom he
stood sa loco PARENTS.
But, to return to our " muttonsn-the house of
Mr. Young is replete with all modern improve
ments, and will cost about $4,000. Its erection
will doubtless induce other gentlemen of fortune
TO initiate his example in the same locality, where
property has enhanced 90 per cent in value since
the commencement of Mr.. Young's enterprise.
The erection of one fine building in a neglected
district will often produce similar results, and cap
italists ought to make note of it.

manifested.

odist Protestant Youths Missionary Society pledg-
ed 5000 to the support of Mr. Nichols, if he should
