A Notable Event.

The late assemblage of invited Gov
ernors at the International Exhibition
of Philadelphia, together with their
most cordial endorsement of it's plan,
scope, and object, henceforth places it
under the auspices, as it were of our
whole nation. And this is eminently
proper, seeing that the Exhibition. under
the energetic direction of its present
sagaclous management, is now and is
destined still more to be in the future,
not only vast collection of varied at
fractions, but a great school of instruc-
ton for tho entire American people as
we'll as popular trademark and COM
mercial emporium for merchants and
business men.
The Company now offer merchants
from every part of the country, near
and distant, facilities such as were never
before presented, for the examination
and comparison of all the various styles
and qualities of manufactured goods. A
day or two spent there before making
his purchases will enable the shrewd,
intelligent buyer to enter the market at
great advantage Com Portable and ap-
propriate rooms are now fitted up as a
sort of commercial exchange. where
buyer and seller can meet-where papers,
samples, price lists, etc., can be inspect
ed and compared. and where the strang,
er is invited to come and at all times
feel himself perfectly at home.
The assertion is unhesitatingly made
that this is the largest, graDdest, and
most complete Exhibition in the world.
1t unquestionably has never in the
worlds hlstory had any peer. except in
the matchless Centennial, of whose
wealth it is the natural inheritor, and
OF which it is the most worthy success

sky's liquor store, on York street. The
fire originated in garden house in the
rear Of Chris Koebke's billiard hall, and
commitment ted to the wood shed and
kitchen of Mr.. Kostomlatsky close by.
Before the engine could arrive considerable
damage had been done, but the fire was
held in check by continuous though small
stream throwa by Mr.. Todi's force pump.
A second alarm was given at about four
'clock, but . few minutes work with Mr..
TodPs pump soon put out the blaze. The
buildings were injured to the value Of from
Two handred to two hundred and Fifty dol
lars, and the furniture and other property
removed from Mr.. KS house to about the
same amount. The night was a very quiet
one; but had then been good breeze at
the time, the loss would have extended to
