The New PosT OFFICE Yesterday afternoon
the new Post Office, built by our respected Uncle
Samuel, for the special accommodation of his
Cleveland friends, was opened to the public. The
hour of opening was o'clock, bnt for an hour pre-
vious, impatient individuals were standing upon
the steps, trying the doors every five minntes, and
endeavoring to get sight through the windows of
the mysteries within. As the appointed time drew
nigh the number increased, and when the doors
were thrown open the crowd amounted to perfect
lam The spacious vestlbue of the Office was
speedily filed to its utmost capacity and the rush
was like that TO Dan Rice's or the 0rdways. A
rare opportunity was presented for pickpockets to
practice their pleasant occupation, but we have
heard Of no deeds of daring in that line having
been done. 1t was really most entertaining sight
to see the scramble and hurry toward the wicket
gates" Having reached the delivery, and obtain
cd the booty, it was equally difficult to get out
again-and many a torn coat, crushed hat and tor
turing corn, was borne away as relics Of the fight
Some demonstrating, considerable swearing, much
laughing, good deal of joking and an indefinite
amount of squeezing were among the more prom
inent exercises. However, when the excitement

found perfectly ample and satisfactory.
We have before given general description of
the building. The Post Office occupies the whole
of the ground floor, the building being Ito feet
front by 60 in depth The vestibule TO the Office
(haying five entrances on the square,) is ll0 feet
long by l3 wide. This story is II feet high. There
are about 1850 pigeon holes and about $50 boxes
with locks, the keys being each designed for one
special lock, and fitting no other. No drawers are
used, the doors opening upon hinges. There are
nine deliveries, that the right being for foreign
delivery, and on the left, for the ladies. In the
centre is a bow window devoted to registered let
ters and the sale OF stamps The gilt lettering and
numbering was done by Hopkins. The interior of
the Office is separated from the vestibule by an ele.
CANT iron framework which is filed with glass, and
whose arches and caps add mnch to the beauty OF
the room. Three handsome double gas burners
| light this hall at night The floor is laid with
English tile in three colOrs-black, red and drab
This tile was described few days since. letter
box is placed in one of the outside doors fronting
the square.
Behind the above partition is the general mailing
room, and smaller ones in the northeast and south
east corners, the former for the Deputy P NJ, the
latter for letter distribution The Office is fitted
up with the best and most approved fixtures, and
will be the pride and boast of Ceveanders for gen

THAT BABY.-The Columbus Statesman gives
the disposition Of the baby left on the cars few
days ago, as follows:
The train reached the Columbus depot, when the
little stranger was delivered to the officers of the
railroad, with statement of the facts in the case,
which was authenticated by the testimony of q
number of passengers.
Here was another dilemma. Who was to take
the babyl Several gentlemen offered their services
in certain contingencies, that is if no body else
wanted it they would take it. but the question WI
finally settled by Officer s. F. Dewitt who bundled
the "httle cove" in his overcOat and started for
home. When Dewitt knocked at his own door the
babe made its first demonstration that he ''still
ved' by yelling Justify, which rather startled Mrs
D., who opened the door with an exclamation.
why, Mr. Dewitt, what hare you got there?"
"a baby" he replied meekly.
"a baby well declare, where did you get it,
Whose is it, How did you come to get III"
These questions were all satisfactorily explain
ed, and the maternal emotions of the good wife
was soon as much interested in the event as her
lord. The little pilgrim was as well provided with
the necessary means Of existence as circumstances
would permit. He is now resting after his travels
and doing as well as could be expected. If any
body wants q stout, healthy and pretty little baby
of his age and promise, they can be accommodated
by calling on officer De Witt, North street, between
High and Third.

FoGYIsN.-Mr. Baliwin's lecture last night at
the Melodeon was one of much interest. The fogy
cold fogy" is tautolOgy, the word fogy meaning
in its original signifcatiOn, old man or sOdier
was shown up 10 the life, in his opposition to all
the fancies of Young America. His contempt of
railroads, telegraphs, and patent inventions; his
opinion of the evil effects ofnewspapers those dis
turbers of public peace, whose best feature consists
in the bits of scandal circulated by them his vain
search among the present inhabitants of the world
for the prototypes of the old heroes of song of eo
quence, of bravery and of forensic debate; and his
proud eulogium of {" Old Fogy England" whose
commerce, manufactures, navy, harbors, banks,
and agriculture are acknowledged the finest in the
world, were all eloqueDtly, and, in many instances
humOrOusly portrayed.
The speaker was no partizan of England but he
would ask Young America to produce more manly,
broad chested men with more stamina than were
to be found in Old England He, in common with
the fast men of our land, believed in "destiny,
but it was a destiny that rewards virtue and pun
ishes vice. We had indeed made progress in sci
ence, in population and in wealth since our country
was established but in morals we had pro-
gressed from the high standard of Puritan virtue,
down, down to the brink of a bottomless ruin
Whether our future destiny be one of glory or Of
shame depends upon our adherence TO the rdIes Of
right. We should march on, not in the common
highway of battle and blood, but in the paths Of
right and justice; not with the eccentric course Of
comet, but with the steady orbit of the planets
dispensing light and health.
The lecture was very fine one, and abounded in
| eloquent passages and humorous paragraphs. At
its Close Mr. Baldwin referred feelngly to the time
twenty years ago, when he left this city and to the
many changes which had taken place in the inter
vening time. He also made quite an impromptu
patriotic speech, extolling Justly) the firm dsvo-
ton of Virginia to the Union. The speakers man.
ner at first was unpleasant, but as he warmed up
with his subject, the absence of gestures was for
gotten in the fervor of his utterence-and all harsh
ness of his voice was lost sight of in the full pow
erful terms in which be thundered forth prominent
thoughts.
When the alarm of fire was started in the street,
several boys ran down from the gallery, calling
fire" This reckless and objectionable act start
ed large number from their seats and in an in
stant fearful scene would have transpired at the
passages, but the speaker shouted that there was
no cause for alarm and quiet was retored. It was
moment of great peril.
