GRAND'-OPENING THIS' EVANING.
In offering to our readers the followmg
descriptive sketch of what may be justly
regarded`, as ,the most popular Clothing
House in Amrica, we are happy to state,
as a matter of interest to our readers of
'both sexes, old and young, that after many!
months of careful and costly preparation,'
this spacious establishment will, this even
ing, be thrown open expressly for the grati
fication. of visitors between the hours of 71.
.and 'lO o'clock. The arrangements made'
for rendering this grand "opening" a fete'
in the business experience of our city are
such as to invite the largest attendance, and
we opine that the ladies especially will:
' avail themselves of this opprtimity of ex- ,
omining the various departments of .this
immense Clothing mart. Parents are' in
• *Vited to bring their sons, as they • are cer
r.tain to be highly delighted with the fine
• display of Boy's Clothing, of which Messrs.
' Rockhill & Wilson now present the largest
'stock in the country.
, The business career of the establishment
`known throughout the country as "The
"Brown-stone Clothing Hall of Rockhill
Wilson," was commenced in 1843, twenty
three years ago, on Chestnut street, below
Third, in a room not half as large as the
house now employs' for taking the mea
surement of customers .for suits made to
order. In 1845, two years later. their busi
' ness had increased sufficiently to warrant
. their leasing a _ good store under, the old
Franklin Hotel, at the corner of Chestnut
street and Franklin Place, where they con
, tinned about five years, when the firm re
moved to the opposife corner. Here they
• \ remained till 1856, when they fairly set the
clothing world in an uproar, and took the
public by storm by removing to their pre
sent elegant warehouse—the Brown-stone
.•,!,•. Clothing Hall, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestriut
street—which was built by themselves, and
:in which they have steadily maintained the
leading place in this department of the
trade and ffiannfactures of Philadelphia.
At the beginning of Rockhill it Wilson's
career in this establishment only the first
floor was employed in their business—a
grand sales-room forty-two feet front by one
hundred feet in depth, with a spacious out
. let on Sixth street, which marks what once
constituted the entrance to the pit of the old
Chestnut street Theatre. At the outbreak
of the rebellion, however. in the spring of
1861, houses of the calibre and standing of
Rockhill 6 Wilson were speedily brought
into governmental requisition, and in a tew
months their entire building was found not
any too large for the. requirements of their
'stew branch, of manufacturing clothing
for the army; and, to their credit be it
written, no soldier of the Republic
was ever imposed upon by worthless gar
ments-emanating from this establishment—
while in the finer department of manufac
turing uniforms, few officers felt themselves
perfectly rigged,eitber for service or display,
lunless their suits bore upon them the im
print of "Rockhill et - Wilson's Brown Stone
Clothing Hall, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut
street." Many of these officers, now that
the war isQver, have become immovably
riveted to this house, and are giving among
their peaceful orders one that the clothing
for themselves and sons shall be furnished
only by. Rockhill & Wilson. Among the
latter may be quoted a no less distinguished
representative than Lieutenant-General U.
S. Grant, as the readers may discover for
himself by reading an autograph letter to'
this effect l'rom the hand of General Grant,
now in possession of Messrs. R. dc W.
STATISTICS OF THEIR ARMY WORM.
In order that the reader may form some
idea of the enormous aggregate of their
- business with the United States Govern
went during the war, the statistics, copied
from the books, are given as follows:
Their first order, we may mention, how
ever, was for the State, received by them
from Governor Curtin in May, 1861. Its
jtems were
Five thousand pair of Trousers, and
s? j` Ten thousand nine hundred and seventy-
Great Coats.
The promptness and satisfactory manner
With which this order was completed, at
Inca rendered the United States Govern
. oaent a gigantic customer, and during the
succeeding years of the war they were called
upon to execute orders for the following ar
ticles :
186,373 pair of Trousers;
56,100 Blouses;
52,200 Woolen Shirts;
101,108 Great Coats;
123,020 Infantry Frock Coats;
1,500 Zouave Vests;
4,610 Zouave Jackets;
38,600 Cavalry Jackets.
The total of these orders amounted to the
enormous sum of $3,113,840 34 (three mil
lions, one hundred and thirteen thousand,
• r eight hundred and forty dollars and thirty
four cents).
In order to meet the wants of the depart
ment with the utmost alacrity the house of
Rlockhill & Wilson grew, for the time being,
into a sort of State establishment, employ
ing at one time upwards of twelve hundred
sewing hands alone, residing in various
towns throughout the eastern counties of
Pennsylvania, and western New Jersey,
ARottsville, Reading, Norristown, Easton,
, orlington, Mount Holly and other places.
;Strum LATE FIRE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.
With their newlY-acquired prestige, and
. enlarged facilities for meeting the wants of
the public, the closing months of 1865 were
occupied by this firm in remodeling their
edifice and adding some important new de
partments, which had just received their
finishing touches when the fire occurred, on
the night of January Ist, which materially
. •damaged their stock and effectually unmade
their new improvements. With character
istic energy, however, they immediate* , set
about repairing the damages, and turning
'what seemed to be a great loss into a posi
•Live gain. By a liberal and judicious system
of auvertising they soon succeeded in selling
of/their entire antediluvian stock (the damage
lo their goods having been occasioned not by
ire but by water), and as a consequence have
310 w the great advantage of presenting
AN ENTLRRLY NEW STOCK.
. The advantages of this fact just now, to
buyers,are incalculable, and must be appa
- rent to every one. All the goods in their
house are the latest and newest, as their
• prices are necessarily the lowest.
THEIR READY-MADE GARMENTS
have all the brightness and beauty of newly
coined dollars, the style and workmanship
of them being unsurpassed by any others in
4. the United States.
THEIR NEW CUSTOM DEPARTMENT
is a feature which every gentleman will
appreciate. It occupies the entire second
story of the building, and is approached by
a massive double staircase leading centrally
from the rear of the ground floor. It is mag
nificently stocked, beautifully lighted, and
fitted up with every comfort and conve
nience for gentlemen to arrange their orders
with pleasure and satisfaction.
THEIR, NEWS IloYs' DEPARTMENT
is also a feature which our citizens will ap
preciate. We need only say with regard to
" • it that its , extent and completeness harmo
nize with the character and thoroughness
of the house in other respects. The Boys' de
partment, with that devoted to Ready-made
Clothing for Gentlemen, occupies the whole
of the first floor, and presents unusual
attractions to buyers. Parents wishing to
order suits-for their boys,fkom any partici:l
- fabric in the stock, can have . them made
if, at the shortest notice. Their orders from
• al parts of the Union for Boys' Clothing
Containing; measurement) already consti-
Xte a. large feature of.' their business.
their facilities for supplying such orders,
pth far gentlemen and youths are very
operior.
Their "opening" this (Monday) evening,
cannot. fail to be a, repr.l2blF and interesting
event. . , . _
WEST FitMADELPUTA:-7Yesterday wore
a more than usual Sabbath-like appearance
away out west, among, the now rapidly
rbliaging, trees,that sift, with , their, young
leaves; the noises of the busy metropolis.
All the churches were well > attended, and
such a display of spring bonnets was seldom
witnessed.. The auditoriums, so to call
them, looked like great tulip beds, magnifi
cent in brilliancy and variety of color.
At the "Berean," Baptist, Fortieth and
Chestnut streets, the Rev. Mr. Cooper offi
ciated, morning, and night. At its sister
edifice, Thirty-sixth, not thirty-eighth and
C'hestnut, which is St. James's (Catholic),
Rev. Jas. R. Castle was the presiding cler
gyman. It was Communion Day, and he
had a full congregation.
The "Asbury" M. E., was in the charge of
Rev. Mr. Lybrand.
The services to the insane poor were con
ducted by Rev. Francis C. Pearson. There
were quite a number of visitors from the
"village," and the choir had several addi
tional voices.
There were quite a number of hands
engaged in replacing "sleepers" on the
track of the West Chester and Media Rail
road, between South and Spruce streets, on
the West Philadelphia side and Market
street.
The crossing at Market street and the
Darby road, is completed, with the excep
tion of the northern foot-path.
On Thirty-sixth street some improve
ments are being made; The whole side
walk, from • Locust to Walnut streets is
being entirely replaced; while a beautiful
summer residence, three-stories high with
three-story back buildings, is approaching
completion on the same street, just below
Sansom.
At the Alms House we give a recapitula
tion of the business of the past week. There
were 100 admissions, 71 discharges, 13
deaths, 6 births, while 33 eloped. Sunday,
there were 4 admissions, 2 male, 2 female;
2 births; 3 discharges, 2 male and 1 female;
deaths, 5 —,l in the "Insane Department,"
lin the "Men's Medical," 2 in the "Sur
gical."

statement of Cornelius Boyer and Johnson
Kelly. Boyer stated on Saturday that if he
had sworn that Foley offered to sell him
Fold plate, he had no recollection of it, and
