The late Samuel Wollaston informed
Treasurer Vincent not long before his death
that the ground on which the City Treas
urer's office now stands was in his youth an
apple orchard. A school house at that time
stood where the Hanover Street Church now

upon the ground now occupied as part of
the City Hall yard, where it stood for many
years, until pulled down. Sixth street was
then called Hanover street, hence the name
of the church.

two expert openers. The oyster is laid in
thetpalm of the left hand, with the mouth
or thin part toward the opener, who has .
long steel blade made expressly for the pur-
pose. This he inserts between the two
sldep OF the shell, but not without some diff
r4oN)ty, and then by dextrous movement
.of NE hand the shells are separated, and
thsNyster is laid bare to the gaze. There is
considerable skill required to be successful,
for unless the opener knows exactly how to
perform the operation the oyster will be

Two gallons an hour is considered excel

for It's wines, it's agricultural fairs, and It's
innocent sort of natives. When at home,
Milton Kvnding lives down there, but re-
Gently having hC ard that there was Gen.
t.puiAl something or other on exhibition
away up here in Philadelphia, he determined
to come up and give the turn-stiles at least
one swing on their pivots. It was on Octo-
her llth that he arrived in Camden, and
thinking that Shackamaxon street was the
principal port of entry to the great Centen-
NAL Ciy, he embarked on ferry boat, and
in due time was landed on the shores OF
Pennsylvania.
"Have hotel, sir ?" was the first ovation
he received, and accepting the kind offer
he was conducted TO q hotel in the vicinity,
and forthwith registered his name In full !:
"Milton Keudig, Egg Harbor City, N. J.,"
and then deposited in care OF the clerk his
valise, cont aiming several changes OF linen
and one hundred and forty-dve dollars IN
cash. The night supper was taken, then
Natures balmy restorer was patronized, and
in the morning good warm breakfast
takeu.
The next thing on the programme was
the Centennial, SO Milton--named after the
great Paradise Lost man-started for the
show, but true to instinct he forgot to look
at the number of the house where he was
stopping, the name Of the street or any
thing else by which he could guide his re-
turn.
He went to the Ceatennial; he saw the
Corless engine and the back-action electro
centrifugal pulsometers, etc., and then
started for his hotel. 1t was on the 18th
of October that he commenced look
ing, and he looked and ne
looked for twelve weary days, meanwhile
subsistipg on some loose cash that he had IN
his pocket, but the more he looked tne
more he became bewildered, and yesterday
he gave up The search and took lodgings IN
