Philadelphia hu nover been lacking In public spirited citizen, who toll it their dotr to reader their city attractive to stranrers oa account ot its Jne architectural adornments. Dr. Franklin, in the early history ol our city, nrged tbe neoeseity of ornamental buildings a one ot the modes by which large and Intelligent population would be attracted to Philadelphia, and, on acoount of Its beauty make it tbeir borne, In that, as In most other respects, be WW wise. Tbe science or architecture has greatly i mproved recently. In our boyhood we remember to bare gazed with admiration at Mr, Dundas' residence, at Broad and Walnut, and perbapa incautiously broke one of the commandments by tbe indulgence ot a ppiiit or enyy. That was supposed to bo beyond the power of improvement yet, magnificent as it is, it is no longer a notoriety, The building of muguiflcont hotels in later days became a speoia ty. Head's Mansion House, in Third sirDet, was once the fashionable headquarters, but as business and promenade mured westward new places . of resort became necessary, and the United States and Jones' Hotels were opened for Jhe benefit ol tioe attractei to our city by business tt pleaturli For several years these capac ous hosieries sorrod the purpose, but the luorra iug gro vth of our city said the wonderful impetus givuo to our trade re quired greater accommodations for tbe gu sts, and tbe late George W. Edwards, a puotic-spiritcd Phila dolphian, projected and completed tbe Girard and 1a Pierre Houses. Tuey in their turn were eclipsed in arcbitcctnial grandeur by the building of tbe Con tinental, whico in size and interior decoration equals, if not surpasses, any hotel in the United States. The building of these vast structure' suggested the idea of immense business houses, and among the first that entered into the project of grand buildings was Dr. David Jij ne, whose fine store, in Choi nut street, below Ibiid, bas a world-wide fame. At every Philadelphian knows, some of tbe finest bust Bess houtes in the city were buiit by bim. Very soon alter tie completion of (be. Chesnut tlrcel building, be commenced tbe Quinoy granite structure running from Dock to Carter Btreet, for some j ears used as tbe Post Office, previous to its removal to the United states Bunding, in Chesnut street, below Fifth. H i next venture was the mas sive Quincy granite building generally known as Jayne's Hall, in Chesnut Btreet, below Sovonth. It waB of tbe same colossal character as his previous edilices, and contained an immense public ball, which will be genera ly remembered in connection with tbe noon-day prayer-meetings, wbere immonso crowds gathered during the religious excitement Of 3866, '67, and '68. This is now converted into stores, offices, and places oi business, He afterwards bou'it tbe old Arcade aud Bolivar House, with adjoiuing buildings, and built the fine marble edifices adjjin lng Jayne's Hall. Our citizens are aware that these are among the finest buiness structures in Philadel phia, and will remain through miny years to per petuate the name and fame of him wlo reared them. Unfortunately for our city, tbe band of death bas token from as a citizen that we oould ill spare. In the very midst oi bis usefulness be was providen tially removed, and it is not bkoly that there is any one loft at present to take bis piaoe. He made it bis special prldo to spend bis ample means in the erection of magnificent buildings, and they are his enduring monument. As long as our city endures, Iiis name will be linked with that of Stephen Girard as one of our greatest publlo benefactors. At the lime of his death, which occurred only a few weeks ago, he was engaged in building a man sion in which to spend bis declining years in that ease and comtort which a life of probity and industry deserves. With unlimited means at bis command, it is reasonable to suppose that he would not be penu rious in tbo expenditure of money upon a borne for blB later years, and to leave for tbo benefit of bis family, But no one who bas not carefu'ly inspected tae establishment can have any possible conception of the exquisite taste and beauty that pervades tbo en tire edifice." Many of our wealthy men have built tbemse ves palatial homes, but nothing in our city at all approaches this in regal magnificence. It seems like a legae left to our city by one who nevei ceased in life to uphold her interest and her honor. The grand edifice now aoproaching completion occupies lour lots at the southeast corner of Chesnut and Nineteenth streets. Iiserection was commenced In December, 1863, though the property bad been purchased some time beiore. Dr. Jayne, we believe, paid about $45,000 for the ground, but owing to the rise in tbe value of real estate in that quarter of the city, it is estimated to be worth 60,000 at present. Tbe lot bos a front of 100 ieet on Chosaut street, and runs back on Nineteenth street 115 teet. The whole establishment, including the furniture, canuot eost less than 9000,000. ThebuiMing itself is 60 feet front, by 106 feet In depth, including the fine com ervatory iu the rear. By a most judicious choice ot Dr Jayne in his lifetime, it Is set back a sufficient distance to givs to spectators a pei feet view of its proportions, it is tour stories in height, of pure while marble, every block of which was brought from the celebrated quarries at Lee, Mass. There is no vhore in this city a more imposing exterior. M arble is not a material that is greatly improved by excessive ornamentation, and the projector has shown good taste in omitting flli ereo work, and depending upon simple mssstvenoss lor Its effect. The Chesnut and Nineteirtita stieet Jrouts are composed of solid marble, and are certainly lhe very perfection of beauty. It is proper to fay that the whole design of toe building was made by John McArtbur, Jr., aided by his effloient assistants, Alossrs. Andrews, Bummers, and Pier son, In con stant consultation with Dr. Jayne himself, who bad a keen and cultivated appreciation of propriety and fitness in all suoh matters. Mr. Mo Arthur, a near jetatireof the architect, tothetopcrinwndout, and has dt voted himself to his work with peculiar earnest ness. The result of the combined efforts of all the gentlemen engaged, is a mansion eo'lpsing in beautv and elegance anything in the country. While thore is nothing gaudy or offensive to good taste about it, the brilliancy is of so overwhelming a character as to almost defy description. Throughout oar future it will stand as a monument to the munificence of Its projector, and an honor to those engaged in its election. Tbe interior is approached from Cbesnut street by wide fllgnt of steps leading to an arched doorway of ornarmntat design, most elaborately flnishod. The oiled walnut doors alone are said to have cost C700, and we imagine, from their massive appear ance, that they are worth at least that sum. . The visitor is ushered into the spacious ball, around which are ranged pillar of Scagliota marble ana porphyry. This ball leads directly through the building, dividing it into two parts It is entlroly covered with delicate frescoing by Messrs. K. Keyser A Co One of the features ot the whole house is the fact that there is no paper npon the walls The basement is painted in oil ol a rich pear color, and the re-t of t e building is of fresco, and it is sesree'y posdble to conceive of anything more magnificent. On tho right of the on trance is an immense parlor, 18 feet wide by 70 ieet in depth, and so srrangod that by the uso of sliding doors it can be divided into two apart ments. The doors throughout the first story are of rosewood, and were made by Mr. Even, of New York. 1 bruugh the rest of tbe houie they are of black walnut, inlaid with butternut. The parlor mantcl-piecse are real works of art. Thev are of pure white marble, and on each side are lull-length statuettes of Dr. Jayne's daughters, axd on tbe keystone of each arch are busts of his two sons one of whom is deceased The marblo work of tbe entire building, including the front, was done by Mr. btruthers, and the statuary by Mr. Bal'ley. HI he parlors are frescoed In panelling, and the heavy cornice is relieved by the introduction cl gilt moldirgs, giving great effect to the part men t. Di. rectly opposite to tbe mam parlor Is tho reception room, which is finished in the ss'ne style, tho ceil ings and sides being of lresco. The mantel-oiece in this loom is of California marble, by Jacohy, and Is an exquisite piece of workman-hip. Immediately in the rear of the roecpt on-room is the stairway leading to tbe attic, and the opening covered by an im mouse skylight of stained glass. The visitor parses through between massive pillars oi tscagliola marble, set on pedestals of slate, from tbe establish, meut ot Thomas Heath, The banisters are of ma- sive design; and, as is the rest of the finishing, are of solid oiled walnut. Tbe upper portions of tho house, which are of the same superb charae'er as tho main floor, are divided into spacious rooms, to be used as sitting aud retirintr rooms and chambers. Tbe building bas bath-rooms and all modern conve piepces upon every floor, Thoie is a doorway in the hall leading through the rear parlor and thence to tho Nineteenth street entrance On this side ot the houso there Is a spacious portico, which, at the souta end, terminate' in a circular bay window, and is sun- ported by flu ed columns. A wide stairway leads from tbe ground to this beautifully graceful balcony. Two couchant lions guard this passage. Tbe yard and grounds are tastefully ornamented with evergreens and flowering shrubs, Tbe side-yard is laid out in parterres, nnaer tbe immediate supervision of Mr. James Kent, one of our most accomplished gar deners. Tbe whole lot m surrounded with a tbirtcen-incb wall, with cop'ng and facings of marble. Toe gateway on Nineteenth street is of rich design, and has openings by which passers-by can inspect tbe giounds Tbe whole bouse is sur mounted by a Mansard roof of slate, broken wifi dormer windows, and this constitutes the attic. All the window sills are of marble, and the frames and sashes of oiled walnut. The shutters throughout the house are on the inBido, a plan which givos an airy effect to the building. The cornice is heavy, and of elaborate doslgn, supported by almost innu merable brackets. Tbe Chesnut street front bas immense bay windows on either side of the door way, tbus breaking tbe monotony which neces sarily attaches to sol d wbito, The Introduction of walnut in tbe windows and the massive door aid in the pleasing (fleet ol the building. the dimensions ot some of the main apartments will give a better idea ot the size of tho bouse. The dining-room is eighteen feet in width by forty in oepth. The vestibule is twelve feet wide by nine ieet irom tbe outer to the inside door. This is the only part of the houBe in which marblo tiling iu used. Sheets of polished marble, about throe feet wide, line tbe sides, and thi whole is finished gor geously in fresco. The ball is twelve feet wide by fifty-three in length. Toe Salle rf Ileeeption is tbirtv-seven ieet long by twenty-five wido, inoluding tbe fine alcove on the eastern side. Ihe staircase is nireteen by thirty-eight, and continues oi that dimension to toe observatory. The conservatory is 12 by 24 and the verandah on the west side is 12 foot in width. The library is in tbe Bccond-story, and is of tbe same size as tbe dining-room, which is immediately be neath it. The northeast chamber is 29 by 25, and the northwest, 21 by 18. There are a number of other spacious apartments, tbe whole number in the house exceeding 76, but space does not permit us to go more fully into detail. , .Even in this immense building, economy of space bas been studied and care tuken tbat no room shouid be wasted. The kitchen, which is a model of comfort, is lo cated upon the main floor to the east of the dining room, and is fitted np with ranges, pantries, closets, ana ever? conceivable convenience. The basement is divided into various compartments for the use of the servants, washing-room, laundry, butler's pan try, and near tbe centre la located one of Mutzinger's immense fire-pioof safes, imbedded in solid masonry, intended to be a place of do posit for the silver service and other valua bles belonging to the family. Ihis, we should say, was not only fire and burglar-proof, but forms one of tbe centre supports ot the building. In the basements there are innumerable pantries, store rooms, and bath-rooms tor the use ot the servants. Everything here is furnished in the elegant style which characterizes the rest of the building, with tbe single exception that it is painted in oil, aud not in fresco. Thore are outlets from the base ment on all sides, and it is well lighted and venti lated by abundant windows and duors. Those who desire to inspect the building from its best point of view, will do well to go a little way beyond Nineteenth, on the opposite side of Chesnut street. Tbe effectiveness of tbe edifice is more plainly discovered at a distance. Viewed imme diately in front, its vast size and overpowering beauty are to some extent lost. THE OAS riXTUBE. ; Among tbe most important and beautiful features ot.tuis grand mansion are the chandeliers and fix tures fur lighting. I hoy are from the celebrated establishment of Cornelius & Baker, a firm of which Philadelphia has good reason to be proud. It will, perhaps, give tho pub ic some idea of the immensity of the place, when we say that it will contain .1500 gas-burners. In the ball there are three 12 light chandeliers of the Renaissance stylo, with six brack ets to match. Ibe centres are mermaids of solid bronze, holding in their bands the branches out ot which the jets issue, lu the pallors there are two 12-llght chandeliers oi fire -gilt of such an ornate character tbat we are scarcely able to describe tbem. Suffice it to say that tbe manufac turers announce that they are the most brilliant pieces of luccu&ulsni tbat they have ever placed in any private residence In the country. The chande lier In the talle d reception is a perfect gem. It has thirty-six burners, and it alone is va ued at tl500. It is composed of three figures of angels ot solid bronze holding out golden cornucopias, and thi Jets pass through tubes ef alabaster, ma e la tho form andl color of wax cand'es. In t e dining room, which Is immediately in the rear ol tbe parlors, there is a splendid rerrfe antique chandelier of the same style as those in the parlors, of twelve burners, with ornamental brackets. In the upper stories tbe same style of magnifi cence obtains. In the northeast chamber there Is a six-ligbt chandelier ot bronze. In fie Pom. pelan style, and toilet lirhu banging over the mirrors- a new and very beautiful Idea. , la the north west chamber we observed a tweive-lisht chandelier ol Louis Quatorze patter u, In gold gilt, with hanging toilet lights of tbe same pattern. Thi library chan delier Is In the Grecian style, and althouuh simple in form, is exquisitely beautiful. Throughout tie uppor stories tbe same magnificence is observed, somewhat decreasing In sire as tbe building asconds. A very beaut'ful gl tand bronze bed pull bas also been manu factured by Cornelia' k, Biker, representing Cupid in a shell. 1 be handles ef the front end vesUbiilu dooisare female figures in bronze. 'be cost ot these magnificent tas fixtures w II be near y f 15 000. In this matter Dr Javne gave orders regard em of expno, and tbe manufacturers taxed the resources of their establishment to produce somothmg that would be worthy ot their reputation. Tbat they have suc ceeded, no one that will give tbe immense edifice even a cursory examlnat'on will doubt. Tbey are unquestionably tbe finest or their character in any private residence in the wor.d. . These gas fixtures, which are nearly all in rtadinivs lor bjing put in their places, occupy and completely fill a large apart ment at the manufactory of Messrs. Corne.inj & Baker, in Cherry street. It is expected that they will all be put in their p aces during the coming month, TBX CARPETS. These were all imported expressly tor the build ing, by Messrs. J. if. & B. B Orne, No 904 Chesnut street. The parlors are laid with magnificent Ax minsters, made to exactly fit the apartments, and woven in a single piece. Tbeir weight is enormous, and Uusir texture perfeot They are ol the medallion pattern, and are aboattbe finest specimens oi this kind of handicraft tbat bare ycr been brought to this country. The library, reception room, and drawing room arj laid with piece carpet of different designs, all of English manufacture, and imported expressly tor Dr. Jayne. Tbe ma n halia and st drways are also covered with sp endio Axmjnsteie Tbe second, floor, including the sitting ro6ms and chambers, are covered with French Ve.outes ard royal Wiltons of exquisite beauty. The third story is laid with En lish Brussels and velvet, and tbe a 'tic with orna mentnl matting. This portion of the fitting np is in keeping with the rest of tho estaolishment the car peting costing the pleasant sum ot tf 15,000. Tbey are not vet laid down, but are ready loi adjustment as soon as the work of frescoing and painting is com pleted. There arc between ten and e even tuouand square ieet ot carpeting on the floors, halls, and stairways of tbis vast edifice. THE KNAMELLKD MARBLE WORKS. As the spectator passes along the ha'l and through the main rooms of the bouse, he will observe a vast number oi pillars, with elaborate capitals ot various styles of archl-1 tecture. ' Upon inspection they will be found to be of ficagbola marblo, and they are cer tainly creditable to the artistic skill of Mr Heath, the maker, ihey are all sot on pedestals of ena melled slatei from the manufactory ot W. A. Arnold, o. 1010 Chesnut street, and give to the whole inte rior tbe finest perspective. There is also a mantel piece in the dining-room of the same materia, In imitation ot verdv antique, of enormous proportions, and very ornate in its style. In tbe fourth story the mantels are of enamelled slate, in imitation of allfctbe various foreign marbles. Tbev icrm great features in the ornamentation of the building. The linings of the bath-rooms are also ot enamollod slate. Tbis admirable ma erial has become very popular for building purposes, on aocount ol its durability .and its adaptation to various uses. It admits oi being polished to a nigh degree of beauty and finish, In Dr Jayne's hou-e they are abso- lutoly perfect, and will attract the attention of evety visitor. As another specimen of Philadel phia manufacture, they are worthy oi inspection. Tbe white marble mantels throughout the house are equally beautiful, and are from the extensive works ot Edwin Greble, in Cbesnut street; Mr. Baird, Spring Garden street ; and William Struthers, Market street. They are all of rich design, and in the most ornamental style of sculpturing. It is worthy ot observation tbat we have in our midst artists who wield the chisel with as cunning a hand as any foreign prolessors whose names may have a wider fame. It is to tbe credit of Dr, Jayne's memory that nearly all of his splendid establish ment is t he fat rication of Philadelphia bands. In everything he has selected home material as far as it was possible, and the vast sum expended remains witn us, distriouted generously among our own mechanics. BEATING APPARATUS. The entire building is heated by two of Morris, Taskcr & Co 's self-regulating furnaces.. Tbe boilers and the furnaces are located in the front basemont, and are embedded in solid masjnry. They are oi enormous size, and during the winter months it will require two and a half tons of coal per week to keep up a regular beat throughout the whole building. These furnaces are so ai ranged as to warm the build ing by means of air which has passed over pipes within v bich hot water is circulating j and the pecu liarities consist partly in the novel construction of the furnace itself, and of tbe sets ot watot-pipes com municating with it, so as to allow them to be eco nomically cast, and easily and speedily put' to gether, and chiefly in a solf-acting means of con trolling the draft ot tbe furnace, so regulating tho heat as to insure economy, and dispense with the necessity ol frequently meddling with tbe fire. The furnace has tbo usual trrate bars and ash pit below, but the' sides and top consist of water spaces cast in segmonts fitting into each other, and to be made air tight by proper cement. , ' Tbe wa'er fli.es, around which the air to be heated circulates, are cast In eeotions, cal.ed manifolds, each section consisting ot a number of tubes con nected at the top aud bottom by tubes of larger diameter. Each of these sections is case in one piece, and the number ol Joiuts to be kept close is thus much diminished. Tue ends of each conducting tube terminate in rings cast on them, which rings, when tbe sections are setup, fit into each other by projections and grooves, so as to torm one con tinuous pipe, which is a continuation of one of the carrying or return water pipes of the furnaoe; and, when adjusted and cemented, a single bolt pass ing through tbe axis of eaob pipe binds all the lections tiirhtly together, yet allows tb-m te be easily and rapidly separated. A feature ot novelty about tbe apparatus is the self-governing valve. Ihis consists of a float in a reservoir, so plaood on tbe apparatus as to have the level of the water within it affected by the expansion of the water by beat, and its contraction as it cools, From this float a rod pas-ies downwards and governs a regis ter in a flue, by hicb, when open, air Is admitted directly to the chimney. The draft door ot the fur nace is also closed by a register, so connected by a rod vith tbat Just described, tbat as the one opens the other closes. So that as the water becomes too hot, its expansion lifts the float, and by its rod lessens tho draft, both by letting the air directly Into tbe chimney, and by tightly closing tbe draft door. The heating arrangements are absolutely perfect, and are all npon tbe gleantio scale proportionate to the size ol tbe bul.d ng. Tbe beat thus generated extends to ere y portion of tbe house, irom the base ment to tlie title; and we are afraid to lav how many miles or pipe It will require. , The Dip a meander II e the mazes of the labyrinth, and their Inflaeno is noticeable everywhere In the ed'floe. the rcanrrrR The flttings-np of the establishment a-e In perfect keeping with tbe sp endor of tb exterior. It is Ira possipleto conceive of anything more magnificent than tbe aopointments reiected by Dr. Jayne. Everything that a cultivated taste could suggest bas been liberally provldod The most elegant portion of the furniture is irom tbe extensive manuiae'ory of A. Lejambre, in Chesnut street, above Tenth. The furniture . in the parlors is of rosewood ot tho most exaui'ite design, and is lnt.nied to sutt the frescoing in that apartmnt A.coup'e of sofas, cocupvlrift the n ches on either side ot the mantel, are covered with tapestry manufactured expressly for Br Jayne, In Lyons, at a cost ot $25 per yard.. The lumtture of the rear parlor is of solid oiled wal nnt, and is also suitable to the .roscoing,as it the case throughout tbe entire building lheae rfe reception is furnished with walnut somewhat plainer, but exceedingly appropriate. The dining-room furniture !s of a rtch.claborato character, aLd n ill strike the mind of the visitor with greater force than tbat of any other apartmunt in the build ing. It contains an extension table of colossal di mensions, capable oi fi ling tbe immense dining hall. Fitted in its p'ace Is an enormous sideboard ol oiled walnut, tbe shelves and plating oi which are of enamelled marble, in verde antiqite. la tbe top centre of tbe sideboard Is a shield Inscribed with the letter 'J," tbe monogram of the prop lotur This is, perhaps, the most elegant piece ol furniture ever placed iu anv private residence in our city. Th j re- mainder oi the dining-room furniture Is of a similar style, and very massive in its character. Ihe library is flushed in walnut, iuUld with b it ternut. Ihe arm-.hairs and solas are oak, with si k covonng. In this apartnent there are three large bookcases of solid live oak, with plate-lass doors. The chambers on the second floor a e 1 ui nishod io smts oi rosewood, Inlaid with tulip woo I, tho rose wood of China, imported expressly for that purpose by Dr. Jayne bimse f. Throughout the tuird story the furnlt tre. adapted to tbo coloring ol the walls, Is of curlod niaplo, ma hogany, cherry, aud walnut. It is lmpo:s:ble to describe minutely each apart ment, but it is sufficient to say that the fltnewot things has been observed in eyory particular, The hi per stories are fitted up in elegant stvte, with the finest materials, irom the establishment of Mr,' Allen. It is, perhaps, the most magnificently furnished houee in the L'ni'cd states, and is a ike cieditable to the projector and to those who had it in charge. The curtains oi tbu Walnut aud Nineteenth stroe fronts are oi satin damask, with hangings of broca UTe lace, surmounted by supports in pip. In addition to the resources of Mr. Lcjambro's establishment, the taste and skli of Mr. I. E. Walraveu was obtained, and consequently the uphols'ery is a t stically per fect. Some of the window-curtuins alono are said to be worth SG0O. The mirroi-s, which are of various styles, suitable to each apartment, and of most biautilul finish, were iurnixbed by Mr. Tames S, Earle fc Sons and C. W.' Bobinson. Like all the rest of the iurniture, they aie iu every case appropriate to tbe apartment in which they are placed. TUE OAS FITTINGS ; The gas-pipes, which are a'l concealod in th walls, are aoout 8000 fee: in length, and the main laid into ti e building is sufficiently largo to furnish gas for 2000 burners. They aie all furnished by Stratton & Bros,, in Walnut street. Taere are more pipes in Dr. Ja ne's mansion than thore are in tbe Girard College and its adjoining buildings, or in tbe Naval Asylum two of tho largost build ings in our c ty. By a skilful arrangement the stop cocks have bren so placed that the bead of gas can be cortrol ed in each of tbe separate stones. Tho pipes run up to tbe stained g ass sky'igat, which can be brilliantly lllumina'ed if necessary, and evon the observatory is finely lighted. The contract tor tbe gas-fitting ii the largest that bas evor been made UtliOcity. PLTJMBINO. This portion of the work is by John Forsyth, and is on the same extensive Scale. The water is con ducted to the attic, and when it is considered tbat there aie bath rooms on every story, some idea of the amount of load pipe In the building can ba ob ta ued. Every conceivable convenience in this respect bs been introduced, and some improve ments that have never been known in this city. Tbe portions of the work visible are artistically designed, and In strict accoi dance with their surroundings. Tbey in n any instances add materially to tbe orna mentation of the apartments. The plastering was done by John Supplee, and is perhaps the finest spocimen of tbat kind or woric in the city. All the painting is the work of David M. Lutz, aud 1 of tbe most tastefu' chatactor. By tho lint will and testament ol Dr. David Jayne, the executors are directed to carry out tbe designs of tbe decedent in rogard to tbe Nineteenth and Chesnut streets mansion, in accordance with bis plans while living. They are required to furnish the house in an appropriate style, under the Immediate direction of bis widow and daughters, and also to pay out of tbe estate all tbe current expenses of a family so dtuated. He provides, also, by his will that the family horses, carriages, etc, snail be renewed as often as it becomes necessary. His widow, under tae terms of the marriage settlement, receives the sum ot three thousand dollars per annum, in addition to her share of tbe amount required lor the carrying on of the estab ishment. It is also provided tbat she sha!I have the use of the bou e during her lifotimo. A singular provision of the will, which might per haps be imitated by other capitalists, is that no in toxicating drinks shall be kept in the new house, ex cept lor medical or culinary purposes. Tbe immense business of tbe firm ol which he was the prominent member will be in noway aflected by bis decease, for although he was the head ot the establishment, for some years past tbe drug business bas been conducted entirely under the auspices of Eben C, Jayne aud John K. Walker partners in tbe concern. The sales of this firm amount to mil lions per year, and the receipts from real estate left by Dr. Jayne are but little, If any, le?s. We hope that our citizens will be permitted to in spect the premises when finished, as many besides tbe owners and occupiers are interested In this fine building. It is thought that it will bo completed by the middle ol July. ,, glTr DELIGHTFUL EXCURSIONS ON TIIECIIDTLKILL.
