one OF the two circles OF B. L. which
Gently visited Pennsylvania Circle Of PHI

nj Belts foundry to the city line and DR..
sed a. brown has continued ii down to WI
Wilmington. This is a much needed /
puvemcnt and the more so on account
the large number of buildings going uli
that direction.
IMPROVED ENVELOPES. - Mr.. j.
y Ochetree has invented an envelope VII
IL, is quite novelty. After letter or cir
ma lar has first been sent in it it is opened
i''t the recipient by cutting open the top,
any other envelope, but after the encus
way mas been removed another Hap can
'v" pulled out Of the envelope and turned %
'lu the old address, So that the same cnve
:" can be made To carry back the reply.
"' idea is to have the sender's name prin
en- on this second flap, thus avoiding the
ID crssity for sending IL second envelope "
nm" letter or circular, as is frequently do
.n,'T The device is quite ingenious, and
'ly' doubt not Mr. q. will receive the pat
he has applied for.
