The stone was moved to build FIRE places
for our quarters, and in the spring Of

order of Lieut.. Col. Kearney. This de-
tail was commanded by Lieut.. Lee, of
our detachment. The object was to trim
out these apple trees, which We did
There were some hundred or more OF
them. They were sprouts from sprouts,
and we're some l2 or Is inches through.
There were aged oak trees some two feet

1t was thick with timber all through the
orchard. We trimmed it well, and the
the next fall ate apples from the orchard,
and as good apples as ever l have eaten

The Hotel cuisines In New York.

FROM the NcW DIX Tribune, March Z.
The probability of very active com
mercial trade during the coming season
is foroibly indicated by the fact that all
Of the Rrst-class hotels in this city are
at the present time crammed, so to
speak, TO repletion. Vacant rooms are
rarities, and it is with much difficulty
that travellers arriving in town, either
day or night, can find accommodation.
People 10y the score are daily turned
away from the doors of the AstOr. st.
Nicholas Metropolitan and Fifth Ave
nue. hotels, none of them having a room,
or even cot to spare
At the Metropolitan and St Nicholas
from fifty to one hundred and fifty cots
are made up every night, in the parlorG
and other large apartments about the
house, and occasionally, at tho latter
establishment, the billiard room is con.
verified into a vast dormitory Except
ing the Metropolitan, the leading houses
have recently raised their prices to s. 50
per day, which charge is paid without
grumbling, and in many instances no
tel-keepers have been offered most ex-
traordinary inducements by the tired
and weary traveller
Even the second class and third class
hstels, with lodgings and restaurants
attached, are literally full of occupants.
The family hotels in the upper part OF
the city are all crowded, a large mum.
Der OF strangers having been obliged
to put up at them during their business
sojourn IN the city, because of their in
ability to procure accommodations at
the houses they have been accustomed
TO stop at From this unparalleled
rush Of travellers, hotel keepers argue
that as soon as the spring fairly opens,
business will be hyelier in this city than
for many years past
Appropos Of hotels, a bill is now
before the Legislature, and has been
favorably considered, incorporating the
Grand Hotel Company, with a capital
stock of 100000, with the privilege OF
increasing it to S2,5O0,0O0 The incor-
porators named in the bill are Edward
B Wesley, Stillman Witt BENJAMIN
Holiday, Leonard w. Jerome and
Warren Leland
The project is to build "Grand
Hotel similar 10 the Hotel Louvre
and Grand Hotel" in Paris, in the
immediate vincinity of the Central
Park, and we understand that those
engaged in the enterprise have already
selected a site for the purpose 1t will
occupy an entire block The main
front will face the Park, and the ex-
terror of the building will be designed
with special view TO the adornment OF
that section OF the city.
