The BURNING OF THE LITIz SPRIEas HoTKL-
The. Lancaster (Pa) Intellgencer, of Friday, gives
additional particulars Of the burning Of Litiz
Springs Hotel in that county on Thursdays. The
1ntelligencer says:
The hotel was q combination building. The
old three-story brick, capable OF accommodating
about fifty, had been added to by very large and
complete frame building, with room for several
hundred guests. There were about fifty guests
at the hotel at the time Of the fire, all of whom
escaped with their baggage t .f ss-. g.
The frame building, worth probably $4,000, is
total less Less than 81 900 will repay the dam
age done to the brick building and It's contents.
About two-thirds OF the furniture in the frame
building was saved, much of it in damaged con-
dition. There were in the cellars about $4,000
worth of liquors, of which fully two-thirds were
saved 1t is not likely the entire loss will exceed
$4,000, which is fully covered by insurance as
Mr. Butler holds policies to the amount OF $4,000
$4,000 of which is on the frame building and its
contents, and $4,000 on the brick building and
contents. Besides this there is. an insurance Of
$4,000 in the Farmers Mutual of Lancaster
county.

Ex-Preaident Jefferson Davis recently visited
st., Louis, and while there avoided anything like
ostentation, but he could not escape the fatterlng
attention Of some OF bis old friends. The Dispatch
gives an account Of one instance Last night two
sable Africans, who in antebelliHa times hoed the
corn aud picked the cotton on MIR. Davis planta-
ton, serenaded their old master of the Planters.
Davis called them both to his room and made
them handsome presents He was also called on
by an old aunty who had the task Of nursing his
oldest child. The elections Of the warm-hearted
ex-slnves for thelE old master, and the kind In

HNyden's Exploring ExpedItiOn--A
Mountain I7, 900 Feet High. wa

Professor Hayden, writing under the date
OF the 23d ult., from Camp ON the West Slope
Of the Rocky Mountains" furnishes some
very valuable and interesting data regarding
the operations Of the expedition to date. The
summit Of Mt. Lincoln has been attained, and
its elevation ascertained to be 14,3OO feet.
From this elevated point at least fifteen noun
tains were seen that are Ia, 900 feet above the
sea level, and two hundred and fifty having
an altitude Of IL, 900 feet above tide water.
The panorama Of snow-capped mountains,
ranging as far as the eye could reach, from
north to south, was magnificent in the ex-
treme, while on the summit OF Mt. Lincoln b
distant peak was revealed which fairly aston
ished the explorers. 1t bears the name of the
Holy Cross" and is computed to be II, 900
feet high. On its eastern face are two deep
assures crossing each other at right angles,
making perfect cross, that at ali seasons of
the year are filed with snow. This mountain
is believed to be the highest peak if not in
North America, at least in shat part Of the
country. ta9t eat3 Z gs gJ.l.s ~, ! a

They have captured large number of tail

new species of bugs and insects have been

BUILDIMc AROUSE IN l2 HOURS.
DIR. BEN. MIsHLER OF LANCASTER wHooPINa 1T
UP AGAIN. n att

Inc Lancaster Inteilegencer of last Friday
says;
There has been considerable talk Of late about
the determination OF DIR. Ben. Miehler to eclipse
the feat he accomplished some three years ago
when he erected and finished three-story brick
house in nineteen hours. Llst evening Workmen
arrived on the trains from Reading Columbia and
other places, and everything being in readiness,
the erection OF the proposed edifice was begun at
oo'clock this morning. The location is on South
Prince street, between Hager and Hazel streets.
The building is two-stOry brick, 20 feet front by
~ Deep containing eight rooms, and q cellar ex-
tending the whole length OF the building. At
three O'Clock this afternoon all the brick work
was completed, the front painted and pencilled,
the interior lathed and plastered with doors hung
and finish given to the whole which seemed al
most impossible Of accomplishment. There
were, we should judge about one huadred work.
men ot all grades, and they dove-tailed in their
several departments with such precision as to
occasion but little, if any cunfusion. One or two
slight accidents occurred, such the slipping of
hatchet in the hands of carpenter and the inhic-
tlon OF slight wound upon the boss brick mason,
ths smashing OF toes by falling timber, bricks, etc.
but still the work went with clock.work regularity.
AZ different stages of the work, photographs were
taken Of the scene, in which the degrees OF pro-
gress were noted, and the woEkman pictured a
graphic style by J.. 4. Reading, Of this city.
About thirty OF these photographs were taken IN
all, and they will no doubt, be cherised as pictorial
relics OF an achievement in the building line
which has never been equalled-certainly never
surpassed. When we lett the ground, which haI
been the scene of great attraction all day. tho tin
root was being rapidly completed, and plastereri
we're busiy atwork in finishing the second story
rooms, The original idea was TO erect the bull
ding within sixteen hours, but the confident ex
peetation was-and We believe il will be realized
that by O'Clock the whole will be completed
thus making Doctor Mishler's last building fea
eclipse his former one by some seven hours.
We have later information ofthe above reading
as follows; Mr.. Mishlcr completed his three
story house in fourteen hours. This is the second
enterprise OF the kind which he has undertaken
