The question Of accommodating oul
visitors with bed and board II still a.
undetermined one. Tho Now Yorl'
Herald believes II to be impossible fol

The lowest estimate yct made by amy
one, OF, the number who will como "a
the Exhibition from outside this city,
Is 1900, 900, or 20, 900 persons for eacll
day tho Exhibition IL open AS il ID
expected that cncli person will remain
on an average at least three days, this
would then ivquiru accommodations
for 90, 900 people; then again, 10000
persons will be here permanently as
exhibitors, workmen or clcrks Of those
having articles on exhibit, making in
oil 10000 to provide with food and
lodging. 'la Ia pif trir +,
10 meet this demand upon us,
must confess wc are doing but little.
The contractor for tho Centennial
Buildings, Mr. Richard Dobbins, il
himself the most entcrprising man
amongst us, in ths respect Within
one hundred yards Of tho main Exhibi-
tion Building, he is erecting magnif-
cent fire-proof hotel that will be
finished and furnished by January lst,
next. This building, called the United
States Hotel,is rUlly a plock OF dwell
ing houses, and being built in the style
prevalent hcrc-each house having u
parlor, dining-ro)m and kitchen on the
first floor two bed rooms. bath and
sltting.room In the second, and four
bed rooms ON third foor---thc whole
forms the most complete hotal in this
city. There being nine large bod
rooms in each house, as now arranged,
and in measure almost entirely
private, the idea is perfect, and for a
party of ladies and gentlemen from any
particular place, who desire to keep
together Mr.. Dobbins' dwelling
House Hotel, . he ought to coll II, i
about the only institution that meets
such q want.
This building covering one acre OF
ground, will accommodate about 1000
persons, and IL | could only announce
that fifty more such buildings were in
course of construction, the only ap.
prchension that now exists would be
removed.
Some idea may be formed OF the OK
travagant charges for hotel accommo,
dations, by the amount the Bryn
Mawr Hotel, intends charging the Ger
man Prince and his suite. The party
have engaged the Bryn Mawr
Hotel, for the month OF July, no
other guests are to be taken, and
for that one months board. the sum of
800, 900 is to bo paid.
One of the things about which | de-
sire TO caution your readers, is the ad-
inserted in tho country
paper for "yonng ladies for the Cen
Icnnial Exposition" No young ladies
arc wanted at the Centennial, and ii is
Ior a nameless purpose that these
'coundrcls want "young ladies propos-
'ossing in appearance" A well known
broker on third third street, has fitted
ip an establishment in grand style
'hc furniture alone costing $50, 900 las
place Of resort for fashionable gentle
men, whose bank accounts are as large
.s their morals arc dcpraved. 1t is to
Ill this and similar palaces OF sin, that
young ladies from the country are
wanted.
One whcIp, who has been making
lses Of the U. 5. mails, TO invoiglc a
ew hundred females, has just been
brought up with q sharp turn, by U. |
J. Attorney, John X. Valentine. As
'ur new District Attorney has no
for such scoundrcls, he will |
onvict this Lothario, and Judge Cad !
valadcr will extend to him the hos
'italitics OF Cherry Hill--our State
'rison, until the Centennial shall have
ONE and gone. .lali /
Tho fees ofour Coroner, elected upon
platform of salaries, and not fees,
o amounted s17,l44.75, up 10, and in
lHding October 31st, and would you
elievc that this reform coroner pocl-
ted those fees without ever limiting
alary single time. a.ttfr
And the Hon. Furnan Sheppard,
district Attorney, who defeated Col.
Vm. b. Mann, has done much better
han even Coroner Goddard has done.
In order to put money in their pock-
Is, cotoric Of moral and political re-
'rmers have organized an association
'r the purpose Of furnishing buyers of
eal estate in Philadelphia, with court
sarchcs, showing what judgments,
ems and mortgages, are entered
gainst any particular property. The
entlemen propose to place large
Of bonds on deposit with
