Pettit's New Building.

obblb NOW oul1uluSt
This large ediffce of which we have before
spoken, has its exterior about finished, and
a army of workmen are bringing the interior
to completion as rapidly as possible. No
proper description of the internal arrange
ments, the massiveness and strength of the
work can be given from hasty passing
through the building. A more particular &C.
count of its various departments, machinery,
&c, must be reserved for another time. It
is said to be the largest and best constructed
building of the kind in the western country,
having but one competitor in respect to size
and completeness, and that one In Chicago
Before proceeding to the erection of this
building, Mr. Petit made extensive exami-
nations in various cities in the Northwest
with the view of procuring the best and
most approved model. The edifce is not
only an ornament to this city, but would be
regarded as such in any city of the west. 1t
has front $50 feet with well proportional
depth three stories above the basement, with
handsomely archsd windows, and the whole
structure surmounted with FIVE towers. 1t is
mostly fire proof throughout; many OF the
apartments entirely so. Besides the stone
used in its construction, il has required
80, coo of brick 100000 feet of lumber, 10
tons of iron, besides vast amount of other
building material The building is designed
for the manufacture of malt, and will have
the capacity for using Is, 900 bushels of barley
per month. Much of the machinery and
work, connected with the building, is of An
expensive kind. The entire cost, we have not
heard estimated.

The Boston Planohette,

The Boston Planohette,
From the original pattern, first made in
Boston in 1860. Within few months past
there has been brought before the communi
ty little board variously noted in the pa
pers the Boston Transcript of May 21st, de-
scribes it as follows
AN ASTOUNDING NOVELTY Is "PLANoHETTE,'
which is only little board in shape like a heart
placed on wheels or castors, with pencil III 'front.'
When the fingers are gently placed on Planchette,
in few moments 1t becomes animated, moves
along OF it, accord, answers mental written
questions, talks with you and does many wonder,
full things. In November both number OF Ever y
Saturday. the wonder workings OF Planchette are
described by an English writer.
As Planchettee has been extensively no
ticed in most of the leading papers Of the day,
it is unnecessary to say further Of it than the
following from the Boston Traveller:
Is PLANcHETTE HUMBUe 9-On this point there
is great difference OF opinion. That Planchette
Is full of vagaries there is no question OF doubt
with some it is as stubborn as Mr.. Malowneys pig,
with others it is docile and quick to answer ques-
lions, interpret the thoughts of lockers on and not
only tell of past occurrences unknown to the ope-
rator but will also give the note of warning for the
future All in ALL Planchette is a wonderful insti-
tution full of fun, puzzle and mystery. and pleas
ant companion in the house. Have Planchette in
the family, by all means, If you desire novel
amusement.
After various experiments to produce a
wheel as a substitute for the Pentagraph,
which of necessity caused Planchett to be sold
at so high price, very neat, tasteful and
durable wheel has lately been applied, which
reduces the cost of Planchette one-half the
former price, and for which the subscriber has
exclusive control under the patentee and
manufacturers, and is now ready to fill orders
with promptness.
