Mr.. EDIToRs:-Give space in your valu-
able paper for the insertion of the follow
ing: On the 10th inst. the citizens of Fish
ngcreek and Benton townships, according
to previous arrangements, met at Adam
Humel's to surprise him with their baskets
flied with all sorts of cakes, pies and
canned fruit, to celebrate his birthday.
There were six teams who had come early
in the morning, to plow his corn ground.
They turned over about six acres against
one o'clock, when all rartoJk heartily OF
the well-prepared table, after which, all
having had good and pleasant time, re-
turned to their resnectiye homes.
With respect to the present arrangements
of adopting text books for our schools
great Injustice is done to large portion OF
the poor class of our county, as the most
of these persons who have to rent move
from one district to another and are re-
quired to buy new books nearly every year
| would suggest that this could and should
be remedied by the County Superintendent
notifying the directors of the county to
meet in convention and agree upon series
of text books tor the whole county aud
thus remove the necessity OF having to
purchase new Looks 50 frequently.

G0lanamahrr's.


Within the past few months
all these disjointed parts are
drawn together and made into
one. The little street and its
bridges are gone. In place of
it spacious and lofty transepts
stretch across the Arcade from
Thirteenth to City Hall square
and up to the almost open sky.
The Arcade itself is moved
step eastward to bring it into
line with the middle aisle, and
extended northward to intersect
the transepts. Blind bridges
over the little street are replaced
by light and airy galleries very
slightly obstructing the view.
All round the building-and
now all round the building
means along Market to City
hall square, to Chestnut, to
Thirteenth, to Market again-all
round the whole store inside,
the ancient landmarks are gone
nothing remains to mark it as
old. The same is true of part
of the upper floors. The cen
trail portion isn't touched. 1t
was lofty and picturesque be-
fore. Now it is old and almost
low. The brighter aspect all
around it makes us wonder how
it ever was anything better than
quaint.
We have exactly eleven and
sixty-hundredths acres of room.
We had, to begin with, two-and-
forty six hundredths acres.
There's more to be got over
head. We shall need it all.
We thank you for your pa
tience while this work has been
going on. We have had to
make noise and dust. We have
screened off both as much as
we could. No beams have
fallen. No harm has come to
any one. Not even the hazard
Gus sights of building have
stirred your fears. What was
night to you was our day. The
work went on most briskly un-
der the drowsy stars.
We thank you for more than
patience. While the tedious
work was going on, though
parts of the store were made
uncomfortable and parts unin-
habitable, you have never left
us. Trade has actually grown
in spite of it all and during il
all.
We owe you more than emp
ty thanks. We owe you sucf
a use of this building you have
helped us to build as shall make
this city, already a leader in in
dustry, a light in the commercial
world.
What we owe we shall faith
FULLY try to pay.

Come and see us.
We never had SO much pleas
ure in asking you in before.
Our house was never so COM
Portable. Standing room at
least is plenty.
Everybody is more indulgent
toward an old unhandy house
than he who lives in it. They
admire its quaintness. He
apologies.
The naked beams, the ups and
downs in the floors, the glimpses
of distance, the cut-offs, the
medley of rough conveniences
and inconvenience, the very
disorder and lawlessness of the
store may have helped to ex-
press in the language of nature
its unconventional untraditional
character.
The asperity of it is wearing
away. 1t was a sudden and
sharp innovation in one of the
most conservative cities. Moth
ing could justify it but signal
success. At first we we're stared
at and laughed at and scolded
at. Weare stared at still; but the
laughing and scolding are most
ly over. 1t turns out that what
we set out to do here was act
ually good for the city, its trade,
its industry. Everybody sees it
now; and that is why the sharp
ness is wearing away. 1t is time
the old rough building in which
this rough success was won
should be smoothed little.
There is something happy in
gradually turning the old into
new. The present condition of
trade in Philadelphia hasn't
come about in a minute.
We couldn't have torn the old
building down and built a pala-
tial store. For what would the
two-million people have done
who come here ffty-thousand a
day?
Several years ago we dug out
the dirt underneath and laid the
foundations. The work was out
of sight. The first you knew
of it you were let into a base
ment long and wide and filled
with fresh air and artificial sun.

Then the old dwellings on
Chestnut street came in, one
after another. The party-walls
were broken through; the floors
were brought together; you had

OF the upper; we bridged the
little street between, and you
forgot it was there.
All along we were lifting the
roofs of various parts, New
stories were added here and
there from time to time. Ex
tensions were made to the upper
floors. About all you knew OF
what was going on was the iron
pillars that rose in the night

DEAR Sir; 1t may be of interest to you

samples sent to me within the last two
months, asking for my report. OF course

Aside from its purity and strength, your
peculiar manner of putting it up, restrict
ing the wasteful use of it, serve to make 1t
