The, corqpapies, of J.h!s,, regiment ansem
bled at Ccrry in obeiieuce to orders on
Wednesday, May 24tb. The Titusville
Citizens Corps joined in the ceremonies by
invitation from the Division Commander.
This corps and the Oil City Greys (Co. D)
were the first to arrive, and to .them were
nesigucd the honor of escorting the Gov
eruor apd st al nnc the Division Comman
der and staf totijeir qunrtars. Itm was
donin a very excellent manner, judging
froaj my experience at the review of the
loth regiment at Greenville the previous
day. I ordered the various companies as
they arrived to march to their quarters and
repcrt at. 1 q'clock 1. M. , for duty. At
that hour line was forjneJ,.. considerablp
delay occurring rcm, the companies nit
understanding their proper position in line,
which wis changed from the former posi
tions held by. them, owing to, the promotion
of the second senior Captaja to the, position
of Major. I was ordered to march directly
to the, parade ground and ba prepared, for
Ibe parade, at once, .jl-'n. was. formed on
the parado ground, but owing to Uio inipen
feet di -3ss of some of tho oompauics I or-
tiered tne '-guitcB on tne tine, . .r..na estan-
liehsd a more perfect line, prqsjnted the
command to the Comniander-13-Cmef and
was ordered to "pass, in review.'.' wheeled
intpj t;oJ'Jipn of pmpanies and ordered the
eomrqand to 'forward guido right march,,"
Several compa.nie(j ha,d passed thu former
right.the line when, I discovered tba t,h.e
music, had not,, advarcpd at once, ordered
theregjmentjaack a the original line, and
once more, ctarted with (lie music in ad-
vanoe,' ewinj to sompof the cpmpaniea not
taking the ' right gude propprly, the pas
sage was only fair,, wheeled again into line
and presenting the.corauiand, the review
was ended. The inspection, being., nest, in
order, wheeled into column of companies
and aft-r some delay in, . t'bving b j ."left
.guiuo cover, opened ranus ana .iu-
seeded bv the officials present. After the
spefltion by request of the Governor, 1
new line ,was established for dress parade
Some of the, companies were very slow
coming out to the line and iu throwing out
the guides;' teveral,,, lieutenants fajled to
come to the front.at h? proper time, la

From our Regular Correspondent.
Philadelphia, May 31st, .1876.
The attendance at the ...Exposition
increases spme.whait a'ld has been gen
erally bet,t?r,;han last week. For some
ciays nasi me weamer nas Deen most
delightful, and aide from the slight
drawback ofa few unfinished buildings
etc., this is really the pleasantest time
to visit the Exhibition. The. trees.
flowers, grounds and all surroundings
look as fresh and beautiful ,as a May
Queen, and Fairmount, 1'ark, is just
now the most .attractive place to be
found apywlere.,. There, Jjj , $p , .dust
and opprpsslveh,eat tp be encountered
and travel both on the road ,a,nd about
the city in not accompanied with many
discomforts which will be nepa.rabl-,
from it.io ruidsum.nier. .Y.et njost like
ly the great rush of,. visitors will come
then,kfor, Americans as a rule, select
the season of the year for pleasure
trips, when travel is a burden rather
than a pleasure when it is too h.ot to
stay at home. There are still people
who do not realize the discomforts of
two in a bed, in a p-ert by nine room,
in the .middle, of July, and that is why
the Crowd is .expected to-be the largest
about and after the glorious Fourth.
J.ast week I gave a pretty full out
line of the government, agricultural
display, but only !'fooled .round the
edges'' of the United States building
proper, which I hjnk wjl.l, atcrall,
attract as much notice from the fiver
age visitor as any part of the exhibi
tion. Uncle Sam's "Centennial Drunch
Post Office," which occupies,, a 6pace
forty by sixty feet In the south-west
wing , of the building, is as complete
and well-ordered as any city in the
country possesses. It is inclosed by a
walnut partition with glvss front; and
has five hunclred convenient lock
boxes. There are ten carriers employed
and AO bpxes.fur disposing mail station
ed at various points on the, grounds.
The clerks speak all languages and
the deposit boxes pre fettered in Eng
lish, French, German, Spanish, Italian
and Japanese. Hourly trips are made
to the main; city post office by the, Cen
tennial mail wagon's, which are hand
some.yehjcles, with drivers in uniform
One of thj carriers is a. John Chinaman
whose q'uque hangs, down his back as
natural as the curl of a pig's tail.
The space occupied by the PpstOfflce
Department, proper, is ,40 x, 40 feet,
and displays many, ipterestj.pg exhib.

The Interior Department makes a
good display. , The Patent Office
shows 5000 models arranged in classes,
60,000 patents bound iu series; a central
office of administration in whiah-th?
iworkjrtgsof America's favorite bureau
b illustrated. Etrangely enough, one)
finda the Paten .Office section of the
Jnterlor Department in the possessic h
Of, the original Declaration of Inde
pendence,, and the Commission of
General Washington from true conti
nental Congress; also, sthfl. relics of
Waabineton. hiB. clothes,.-. tamp equi
page,, 1. punch-bowl and furniture. Th
National Museum once sought a fire-
prqof, place Qf, deposit in .Washington,
and, -so did branche?.jof,thp Govern
ment. , The Patent Officer-rabout one-
sixthiof the present building was se
lected as a safe place. This was-, about
1840r and now the Bureau arid Depart
ment ave rewarded by the proud op
portunity to display what they have
so long and sp carefully kept and so
jealously guardedn- -r , ;
Next comes th Treasury. JJepart-r
ment .with a profuse display. Jf money,
not gold and . silver altogether, but
printed money. . Tho array of specif
mens of. Treasury motes ,of every de.
scription and. denomination ever is'
sued, is. ft ptudy for the admirer of
bcauty.p.nd fine art. In no land under
the etm is so much siull shown in the
manufacture of ppcif. iinoncy, , ?he
paper for the continental, money was
made only a few miles hence, at tne
'Ivy Mills," and the mill is running
yet arid In the hands of a descendent
of its. old., proprietor, Lut when the
writer visited it seme tmp Ago, it was
making a nasty kind cf thictt wrap
ping paper of straw and old ropes.
Franklin used to get his paper there.
Even if the, old mill has 'been burned
down once or, tviqe, 'it -is njore . ccr
tainly than the boy's old jack-knife
which had had five new blades and
four new handles the same mill, and
it ought to drop the straw and junk
and iuelie some .more hand-made,
water-mark,, , iben-stdck paper with
some of old'Benjavniri's shrewd advice
printed on .it irt-tjiid-fashioned. (type.
Arid here is the Navy Department
which shines as it has a right to do
in bu,ntii)g...,,b.ne reads the history of
the American: flag;sus.pbhdcd from the
columns in the various forms of tho
colonial and conventional periods; the
pine tree, the English '-Union," with
a red and white "fly," a white anchor
on a blue field, and eventually the
flag of tQ-dayj.sbbwhig largest -.of: ftU,.
as if it had grown in size as well as
developed in design. The navy shows
a variety of guns for special services,
such as boat howitzers and gunwale
guns; it also has piles 9f naval stores,
wjth smelling, ropes, ;and things to cat
and tp wear; the provisions .to,. go to
the great co,qli's,j gall ?ys and, the fur.
nishi,hg of ;ths raen' Jklts;s tjf.e. instru
ments of theTransitof Venus expedi
tion, as the. Var Department has those
of the. Signal Service, This Depart
ment has tylsb .some boats of the Polaris
expedition, one scow made in an emer
gency., from, an abandoned vessel.
Around lie many piles o,f sjiotvaiid
shell ;and,oi material suggestive of
1 long strvicb, when "they that go down
to the sea in ships," have to depend
upon the forethought of the providers,
who must be ready to supply every
thing from a niaiuyard to a sewing
needle at a momenta notice. AVe pass
; with. gnat interest the snore -.scientific
portion of iho cttlleetion, . the . corn
parses, barometers, sounding instru
ments, ship's logs, and velocimeters.
One begins with the arts of peace, and
wanders through the building to tlie
south-eastern, end. , He steps out at
the door with the big guns on each
side,, which are pointed in mimic hos
tility at the other building, and stands
upon tlie terrace to listen to the music
of the band which plays in the pavil
ion nenr by, .. .., ; .. : ,. .,
One. letter covers so onfall ,4 .portion.
of tlie whole exhibition, that I am.
obliged to stop after having j ust begun.
Probably. Machinery , Hull . and the
State buildings will b'J the next most,
interesting .feature to your , readers,
and following these we will journey
through the main building. This.last
is the place to study human nature I
cannot think of any placo- where 6ne
would f- id such a variety of rpecimens
of ,the genus homq, in, as tho natural
ists, say ''all btnges of preservation."
Coming down from the government
building yesterday,. I passed through,
tho carriage manufacturers' structure,
ond have never so fully . rolMJzed tho
force .of that familiar, smile "pretty as
a red wagon," J do aftf.-r a glance at
the, fine display pf vehicles. It was

Jt hi about settled that there will be
no further reductiou-in railway fares,
and so th.ecpmmittee appointed by
the Centennial Commission to confer
witty.the railway authorities hate, re
ported. , The Pennsylvania. 1 Central
people assert that they woxdd do pas

acceded to this, demand, as the extra
Centennial travel. ,fat .tlio. low i.rates
w,o,uld not equal the falling off of reg

By the death of ,Lev( Stine, one of
the jurors in the Yost murder trial at
Pottsvllle, tU?cae cannot be. resumed-
till July,, and ,-the additional, cost to
the , county : will amount , to many
thsands of dollars. Kerrigan. the
man pn trial, is accused of the murder
.of pQltceniau Yont at.Taraaqua. under
immim-imusirow tne Iplly Maguiro
organization, and some., startling reve
lations were expepieclduring the judi
cial iPYestlgaioo. , Xh death of the
juror, gives the prisoner a longer lease
of life.
AsteAdt increase of paying visit,
tors to the Centennial exhibition is
claimed. Cash admissions on Satur
