The announcement of the opening of Geo.
w. Albaugh at his large, new and attractive
building, together with the concert, display
of fireworks, and balloon ascension, drew
very large number of persons to Westminster
last Monday and Monday night. From the
time the doors were opened until they closed
at night throngs of ladies and gentlemen
passed in and gave the building a thorough
and critical examination. The new stock of
goods embraced all the latest styles in ladies
wear, and many were the EXPLANATIONS of de-
light when something new attracted the crit
ical eye. In gentlemen's wear the exhibit
was immense, and included suits from the
finest to the lowest grade. In the second
story, which is reached by broad stairway,
was shown the carpets, rugs, hassocks, &c.
In the evening the room was lighted by num-
erous gas Jets, which shed a pleasant light
over the assemblage. Over the entrance is
chandelier, while in each of the large win
dows brilliant light burned and showed off
the dress and other goods to great advantage.
In the morning the Westminster Band was
placed on the tower, eighty feet above the
street, and rendered choice airs. About
o'clock in the evening the building was illum-
mated, and the crowd in front was so dense
that it was with difficulty that passage could
be made through it. Later in the evening a
and number of rockets, Roman candles,
variegated wheels, and other fireworks, were
set off to the great delight of the public. At
this time the Westminster Fire Department
turned out in full force, bearing torches, and
headed by the band, paraded through the
city, after which the Fire Company and Band
were handsomely entertained at a supper at
the Montour House by Mr.. Albaugh.
Notwithstanding the great rush of visitors
Mr.. Albaugh's sales during Monday were over
$1,000.
A new feature has been introduced-lady
cloaks-and Mr.. Albaugh will soon add
ladies' ready-made clothing department,
which will be a great convenience to the fair
sex.
Mr. Albaugh has given concert every
evening this week, and tonight there will be
fireworks, balloon ascension and music by
one or morebands.
The enterprise exhibited by Mr.. Albaugh
is commented upon in the most favorable
manner by our best business men.
Last week, in mentioning the work done
on the building, the name of Mr. Gershom
Huff, of Myers district, who did the plaster
ing, was inadvertently omitted.
