Mr.. S. f. HUNT of this city has leased in
Philadelphia block of two new houses, and
has fitted them up for a public house to accom-
modate parties attending the Centennial Ex
position. The Fuller House, as it is called, is
situated on the high lands in Western Phila-
delphia, directly between the city and the
Centennial grounds, on Proctor Avenue, be-
tween 40th and 41st streets, about minutes
ride from the main building. Horse cars pass
within half block every minute or less. The
building is of brick, with stone front, and is
supplied with all modern convenences. The
sleeping rooms are large, and are furnished
with spring beds-a luxury offered by few,
except the largest of the centennial hotels.
The terms are $500 to $3.50 per day. Re-
duced rates for permanent boarders
To reach the house, take the Market street

proprietor for the wishes of his guests, commend

PORTLAND, June 9, 1876.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I noticed an article in this
mornings PRESS that does great injustice to a
class of dealers in this city, the majority of
whom can lay claim to being as honorable men
and as good citizens as any others. In the ar
tcle referred to why not have given the names
of the guilty ones and not leave it open fer the
public to suspect any or all of the dealers, who
are not, as anyone would infer, a set of thieves
that need looking after by the police? Any
one can learn the contrary by nquiring who
the junk dealers are or have been IN years
past. A list of their names can be furnished
that point
