that they will both be below our horizon, but
they will still be quite close together when
they rise on the morning of the 18th. Mercury
will then have fallen about quarter of de-

in the city but has not yet decided what
to do.
1t has for come time past been Mr.

ment Of the hotel, and several parties
have made endeavors to secure the lease.
The property was on the verge OF being
transferred last summer to JAmes D,
HcClelland, proprietor Of the American
House, Philadelphia, but the negotiations
fell through. Several other parties also
made application for Mr.. 0rtlip's lease,
among them Mr.. Pyle, who has had the
matter under consideration for some time
past. The new tenant or landlord
managed the hotel for some time prior
to Mr.. 0rtlip's taking 1t. He afterwards
removed to the Lafayette Hotel
and continued bis duties as mine
