AN EXTENSIVE EsTABLIsHMENT.-S
the termination of the war no firm within our
acquaintance has manifested greater llberality
toward the people of the South, than the
house of G. NJ. Stief, of Baltimore We are
glad to see that the business of this house is
such as to require an extension, of its facil-
tiles, and we hope that any of our readers
who wish to puchase first class piano, will
give Mr.. S.ieff a call. From the Baltimore
Gazette, we copy the following notice:
Warehouse ZmproUcmem-T rapidly in
creasing business of Mr.. Charles NJ. Stieff,
the we'll known and extensive piano and
church organ manufacturer. has been such
as to render necessary an additional warehouse
for the display and sale of his instruments in
connection with the one now in use at No.
North Liberty street. TO obviate the diff
Guilty Mr.. Stieff will erect, adjoining the
present warehouse, substantial iron building.
The proposed site for the new structure has
long been the property of the firm, and the
work of removing the old building has been
progressing for some weeks under the supervis-
ion of the architect, Mr.. j. w. Hogg. The
new warehouse will be known as No 8 North
Liberty street, and when completed, will
prove quite an ornament to the section of the
city in which it is situated. The lot has
frontage on Liberty street of twenty-fOur feet,
extending entirely through to Sharpe street
a distance of ninety feet, and the building
will be four stories in height, and of the
Corinthian style Of architecture. The entire
front will be composed Of iron, with heavy
ornamented pillars, arranged in such a man
ner as to furnish the interior with ample light
for displaying the instruments. The most
experienced artisans will be employed, and the
work will be completed in the most substantial
manner, at an estimated cost Cincluding the
value Of the lot) Of thirty thousand dollars.
1t is noticeable feature, in connection with
this cnterprising firm, that commencing the
manufacture of musical instruments some tif-
teen years sinces they have by commendablc
energy and perseverance been steadily grow

time, When with their extensive establishment,
and employing as they do the most skilful

prosecution Of their business. The work of

DEAR SIR:-I have to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of yours of March 4, and to express to
you the delight with which l found the very
Just, dlsinterested and honorable point of view
In which you saw the proposition it covered
The resolution you SO properly approved had
long been formed in my mind. The public
will never be made to believe that the APP
pointment of relative is made on the ground
of merit alone uninfuenced by family views;
nor can they ever see with appreciation offices,
the disposal of which they intrust to the Pres
ident tor public purposes, divided out as FAM
lily property Mr.. Adams degraded himself
infinitely by his conduct on this subject, as
Washington had done himself the greatest
honor: With two such examples to proceed
by, l should be doubly inexcusable to err
IL is true that this places the relations OF the
President in worse situation than If he were
a stranger, but the public good, which can
not be effected, itits confidence be lost, requI-
res this sacrifice. Perhaps, too. it is compen-
stated by sharing in the public esteem. L
could not be satisfied till l assured you OF the
increased esteem with which this transaction
fills me for you. Accept my affectionate ez-
preasiOns OF it.

LOCAL MISCELLANY.


ANOTHER CITIZEN GoNE.-1ielding to
the inevitable decree of Providence "who
is too wise to err, and too good to be uukind,"
another valued citizen of our community has
gone down to the grave. On Thursday morn
ing last, the Sth inst, the spirit of JOHN
FREDERIcK BLESSING took its departure from
the body, and on Friday afternoon all that
was mortal of our friend was deposited in
Edge Hill Cemetery. Familiarity known as
lie was to all our people, it needs no eulogy
from us to herald the virtues of the deceased.
For twenty years and more he passed in and
out before our people, and they have known
his kindness Of heart, his acts of benevolence,
and have read his generous nature, which was
ever open as an unscaied book. An atfec~
tionate husband, an indulgent father, kind
neighbor, he will be greatly missed by ail who
knew him, but most by those to whom he was
sndeared by the sacred ties of the domestic
circle Poor FRED! many will be the tears
shed for him, as memory calls up the past,
and holds as before n mirror the generous
deeds which marked his life.
