The Lidding,. however, wasn't as spirited as we have seen in times gone by. Two years ago we saw people draw valuable prizes in this auction lottery: . A negro porter got a. camel's hair shawl, and an errand boy, for less than $2, found himself the, possessor of a gold watch. • __ln.the present case the bidding was done shyly.

A box, for which a foolish fellow paid $lB in the expectation that it contained a watch, bad in it only a new-fangled syringe. The sale was conducted alternately by the Brothers Martin.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.--The proposition to have a parade Of the First Division National Guards on Monday ; the anniversary of Ame rican Independence, failed in consequence of the refusal of City ouncils to make an appro priation to pay the necessary expenses. Therefore there will be no public demonstra tion in celebration of the day. Of course therp :will be a universal suspension of busi ness. The Post Office will close at 10.30 A. M. The carriers will make the 7.30 A. M. delivery and theA P. M. collection. The juveniles will indulge in their usual habit 'of firing crackers, torpedoes, Scc. not withstanding the strict orders to the police to prevent such doings. The proclamation of the Mayor on this subject is as follows : "JULY 1, 1870.—Notice is hereby given that the police force . have been instructed to rigidly enforce the ordi maks prohibiting the tiring of crackers, squills. chasers, rockets und other fircwor%ts, and the firing oil of guns, pistols and other firearms on-the coming -4th inxt- Parents, guardians end others, the heads offuei lies, are eatuestly requested to co-operate with the officers iu this respect, so that the good order and quiet of the city may be maintained, and casualty by fire in a great measure avoided, " 113' order of the Mayor."

(The play upon the word "sore!' will be - explained in our edition . of Tuesday.) Parents are cautioned against permitting their children to carry loaded bowitizers around in their pantaloons pockets. Fatal accidents have re sulted from such carelessness. It is understood that Col. Maurice, who will Speak the Decla ration of Independence from memory on the Fourth, does not wish to receive encores more than fifteen successive" times it-the weather is oppressive. Persons should watch their older boys, and positively prohibit their tying their little....brothers to the large size skyrockets previous to setting them off. One poor child who ascended from this cause on the Fourth of July, 1812, has not come down yet, and his parents are - afraid they will not recog .nize him .when he does. Do not 'attempt to crack torpedoes with your teeth. John Hau cock always avoided this praetice,•and wisely too, for a set of . false teeth cost a large sum when your mouth has been very much enlarged all of a sudden. Children - under two years of' age will not be. admitted to Inde pendence Square to hear Colonel Mathice speak, and any attempt on their.part to force an entrance will be boldly,resisted by a strong body ; of pplice.--Persons who -have not been Vaccinated\ should keep away , from the btatue of Washingto.ii .on the FOurth, for it is understood--that the General once had an aunt who died of scarlet fever in Georgia.

For a temporary station-house the Mayor has leased the Pritchell estate, at the corner of._Eighth and South .streets.. Th 6 property has a front of nearly twe.hun dred feet on each street, with a house in the centre of the lot. The property was fitted up years ago by a gentleman for a commodious residence, With stable, outhouses, &c., and a garden containing an abundance of fruit and shade trees. Of -late years, owing to the inroads of disorderly persons, the shrub bery. a nd frnit trees have nearly all been de, st r oycd, and the house has been considerably injured._ The place has-been- unoccupied for some time - past, .and has been a resort for a vicious class of persons, comprising_ men and Women. boys and girls._ When put in some . what better order,-he- property make-a good Station-house for temporary purposes ; -and-the-presence.- of.--the-police-will- rid--the neighborhood .01 the bad people above re ferred to. .

Unknown ANOTHER STEP TO THE WESTWARD.—The tendency °Ube business community is toward. • the perfection of the arrangements for tranii acting their business, The days of dinginess and close quarters in stores in American cities se rapidly passing away. The stores of the Cheeryble brothers and of Mrs. Clennam, of described by . Dickens, find occasional f; 0 similes -among business fossils in Philadelphi;-, hilt the man who now-a-days undertakes to do business in a hog-pen, is very likely only to have hags for flis customers. What is true of stores is true, also of count ing-rooms.---Time was that Men who spent one-third of their lives. in their business of fices spent it with nothing - bier& picturesque in the way of surroundings . than a pewter inkstand and a couple of spavinedstools.• At the present time Philadelphia boasts some of the finest business edifices in; the United . States. We know of- none more stately or better supplied with modern conveniences :than that, of Messrs. William T. Snodgrass & Co., at . thenorthwest corner of Ninth and Market streets. When the erection of a busi ness structure is in question the best architect is the merchant.- At planning the new Ma sonic Temple or the big Synagogue on Broad street, in all probability Mr. Snodgrass would have made a failure. As lt is, the premises at `Ninth and Market streets, in point of 'convent enceand labor-saving appliances, have proba bly no superior in the United States. lot is 112 by 26feet in area. Just in this locality the.. title to the soil is of some little value. For this reason the confirmed fogy is theonly person who permits an inch--of- it to go a-begging. Of their lot the M.essis. Snod grass haven't lost a barley-corn. Beginning with a splendid sub-cellar-the basement above is as hand Some a room as it ever was our privilege to - enter. - The - cloth . .trade want light and here - they have it. The-room ex tends: entirely under the sidewalk, both on Market and on Ninth streets; The pavement is the Hyatt light—circletis of convex glass set in . cast-iron fraine.. To get this light alone cost,the neat little Sinn isf 54;J00.: 'The price of the article is eq 80 per square foot. --But,,dear as it seems, it is-cheap_in_the end ! This basement is the equal in convenienee, and; of course, so,n3uch larger than the room upon the ground-floor. The room upon - the latter is among-the finest 'we have, ever seen. To do -business in such premises an be at tended with nothing- but pleasure.- As we, have said, no one 'can so contrive a business house as a. _business tnan, .In. tbe. disttlhation of light-an d .the -Messrs. Snodgrass have proven themselves'independent of either Pro . - lessor Morton or. Sir Isaac' Newton. People who buy cloths from them, buy -them where the blue sky looks down upon their bargain. The :windows -are of the most-transparent. plate:glass, Whose screens, plabeir upen a' rail road track contrived for the purpose, retire in day--time-to. a closet.. Hoistways . and hatch ways, gas and water are just wherethey should be. The store is in the _right place, and the firm .in theirs. If the accretion of busi ness has enriched them, no,one be grudges . them the fruit - of their - upright labor. It was the axiom of a celebrated politi cal economist that no business transaction is a healthy one unless it brings corresponding benefit both to buyer and to seller. In no city is this Makin' kept More closely in - view - than in this goodly place.' .What we are glad of is that for their -very extensive jobbing as well as retail trade; the Messrs. Snodgrass now have adequate accommodations. - The cloth trade per se is full of interest. - No trade re; quires closer watching, or ,a more. intimate acquaintance with the business. From the ..parlor window of the - man who_ goes into it without first haVing his eye-teeth • cut, a _sheriff's flag_ is_rpretty_sure__ulltiniately_tg.ily. -,.Because the - Messrs: Sriedgrals - s - ate - iiiii..stiilti cif their line of _trade, they have erected this beautiful store at- Ninth and Market streets, and removed theirhusiness.to alocalitT more commensurate with its magnitude. . _That_manymerchants_from..other_cities_will model stores after' the plan of-the Messrs. Snodgrass is very probable. Their - visitors are very numerous. With the,Oriening - of the Fall trade..they will be prepared with - one of The largest' and finest stocks ever seen on this side of the Atlantic.. .We spent a pleasant hour this morning with the genial head of the firm. We heartily second his invitation to evens readerof the BULLETIN to call and visit the firm in 'their new Ideation.
