FUN AND FORT RTE.—About twice a year
the unclaimed packages in our express com
panies are so.d at auction. They are supposed
ptp_revionsly to have been opened.
The Messrs. Martin. Brothers; Auetioneers,
yesterday sold 1.500 packages accumulated in
the office of the Central Express Co. A.AUSIIIII,
the sale drew a good gathering of people. 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. •

shyly. Our reporter went in fora dollar'S

by the persons to whom they are addressed. -
Comparatively few fail to reach the locality
of their destination. The accumuletibii lathe'
greatest during . the month of April. The
April fool game is common in the country. Of
June fools we yesterday saw a good many. An
. imitation rosewood box was run up to-,sl2.by .
one of.this pattern. It was entirely_empty...Lt
was addreSsed to a lady- up town. Many of
the.packages contained patent medicine. 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.
In both gentlemen runs a vein of quiet humor.

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

FACT Aka FUN FOR TnaFounrii.—Persons
who bay.e an American Eagle on Monday, can
make him soar by chopping a piece out of his
leg. (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. The
Board of Health should leek after this matter.

. glue
and lampblack. It is not known positively

wore an undershirt, but it is understood that
Mr. Logan, of the Sixteenth Ward, is hunting
for an authentic garment of the kind. If he

The contract for the erection of the new
Police Station house on Fifteenth street,

men will begin to demolish the old structure
no: -- Week. 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,

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 . -

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.

QuAnTrat SEssioris—Judge Allison.—The
whole morning was occupied with the con
tinuation of the hearing of the case 'Of Mint
zer vs. Mintzer. Several years ago. Mr. Chas.
A. Mintzer was ordered to nay $6 per week for
the support of three children. He now asks
for a modification of this ~order; in, as much
as his health is seriously affected, his hearing
defective and his ability •• pursue
his profession as a musician is im
paired, while, the _three children_ore re-.
spectively 19, 16 - and 14. years, and the mother
has an income, from a separate - estate: The
application-was resisted , and several witnesses
were examineil, some of them stating that
Mrs. Mintzer has three other 'children at
home, the oldest being 30 years of age, and
yet' no board being exacted from him or the
others. The Court modified the order to $4
per week.. • - • ' - -
