BERLIN, July 2I, 1870.
There is something to be seen in the
streets of Berlin, which is much more
Jolly sight than the statues of the war
riors, the palace of the King, or the sol
diers. And it is not unlike what one
sees every day in Delaware. 1t is the
boys and girls. They trot up and
down the pavements and gardens, and
they play and shout like any other chill
dren, but as often as we have scanned
them to find one that looks just like an
American, or like any Charlie or John
ny or Mary or Alice in Delaware, we
have failed, until last Sunday when we
met a little mischief dancing along from
church in front of her mother, whom we
knew for an American about as well as
though she had told us SO. When YOU
eat an orange you first dispose of the
rind. We have not been in German
land long enough to write letter about
the boys and girls as they are. SO
we must write one about them as they
seem, and if we could, we would like
TO do both before going down 10 such
little subjects as the wild animals IN Ile
Geological Garden, the handsome streets'
and shops, and dwellings, the King or
his family, For as to the king, ne IS
seventv-fve years old the story OF his
life is almost written, and you can read

to the walls. The principal front will be
on State street; the centre will be eight
and the wings seven stories high, the
whole surmounted by a mansard roof
The dining-hall will be on the second
floor and run up through the third story,
giving it the height of IS feet. The gen
eral outline of the front will be modelled
after one Of the inner squares of the
Louvre, Paris, and the building material
will be either iron or Ohio sandstone.
The ground on which it will stand is es-
timated as worth near a million dollars.
and the hotel when finished will cost
81. 500, 900. 1t will contain 756 rooms
and accommodate I 900 guests.
The Pacific House will equal this in
every respect, and occupy a frontage Of

PRESERVATION AT THE Reform SCHOOL,
Some of the officers of this institution, wishing
to thow their esteem for MIR. Woodbury., the
retiring superintendent, got together, and
choosing Mr.. Dresser from their number. pre-.
sented him with silver cake basket. On Mr.,
Woodbury's entering the room, Mr.. Dresser
said:
Mr.. Woodbury., have been delegated by
these lends of yours to present to you this
article The gift is small, but it comes from
the hearts of the givers. May it be cherished
by you and your family; that you and they
may not forget the acquaintance made at the
Reform School,
Mr>Woodbury was very much affected and
replied that this unexpected token of their re-
gard had wholly unnamed him; and still he
would think himself less than man if these
tokens of kindness did not affect him. He
thanked the officers for their uniform courtesy
and kindness, and said the success that had
attended bis efforts in conducting the aTiirs OF
the school, were in great measure attribute
BILE to them, and he thanked them in behalf
of himself and family, for the valuable present
and said he should regard it, valuable as il
was, more for the expression of the kindly feel
ings which had ever existed between them
Than its value in dollars and cents.

the manufacture of Suspeuders. A portion of
the Thompson block, Nos. AZ aEAsf9 Middle

employed; four sewing machines heiDg used.

the rate OF 500 dozen week. The Boston

by the company, at their factory in Chelsea,
ally.
The business has been cons derably increas-
ed within the last few months, and now
amounts to about 100000 year, as the arti-
Gle is in great demand by the best houses in
New York, Boston and this State; and is con-

the wholesale houses in this city are selling
agents for this excellent article of suspende,r
and the demand in the Eastern part of this
State is particularly good.-Star.
