DEAR REGISTER: After very pleas
ant and speedy journey, 1 find mysei'
in the city of Brotherly Love,

hero Lieutenant General Winfield SSott,

are nda Hall and other public and
Pota bindings. On Friday afternoon
Pr Pr The bells in this city will be tolled
dnring the time the funeral services are
being held at West Point rn-
Philadelphia is more lively and ami
mated, in business point of view, than
it was few weeks ago, and merchants
confidently anticipate general revival
in trade.
Strawberries are abundant, and green
corn, peas and new potatoes, have made
their appearance here.
There are quite number of delegates
here from various cities in the Union,
en- route for Albany, to be in attendance
upon the Annual International Conven-
ton of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation.
News.dealers are reaping heavy profits
from pamphlets, songs, etc, written
about the murderer of the Deering FAM
lily, Antoine Probst, who is to be exc
cuted here on Friday week, June Sth.
I expect to return to this city in time to
witness the execution, and will give our
readers detailed account of the sad but
just affair.
The gold market here today has been
quiet and rather firm. For time there
was little stir on Third street. The
market closed at 81, 35al ,384
The crop prospects in Eastern Penn
sylvania are not so unfavorable as has
been reported. The yield of fruit,
especially apples, will be an unusually
large one.
l leave this evening for New York.
l may write you from Albany.
Yours, truly,
WILL.
