Destruction of the New.. York Crystal
Palace*
. A'singular fatality seems to have attended
the New York Crystal Palace almost from the
time of its erection. The building was the
largest and most magnificent ever erected in
this country, except, the present National
Capitol at Washington. Its original cost was
about $050,000, or, according to some esti
mates, $700,000. Of this expenditure, about
$lOO,OOO was paid out of tho receipts of tho
exhibition of 1863, and tbe balance was made
up of the capital and the landed debt, whioh
is about $160,000. No stockholder has over
received a dollar of a dividend from his invest
ment, and tho bondholders have feted' but
little, if any, better, though the building has
been in tbe hands of a receiver, for their bene
fit, irom the fall of 1854 np to some time last
May or June, when the authorities of the city
of New York took possession of it, as tho ori
ginal lease, for five years, of the ground be
longing to city, npon which it was erected, had
expired, and its renewal was denied. To this
action the receiver, Mr. Jobs H. White, ob
jected, and instituted a suit for its recovery,
which has not yet been decided. '
Tbe American Institute leased tbe bnilding
ftom tbe city for the purpose of holding in it
its Annual Pairs, one of which was being hold
at the time the fire occurred. The building
was thus filled with a largo amount of valuable
property, belonging, to inventors, manufactu
rers, merchants, and mechanics, in New York
and elsewhorb. The .loweBt; estimate of the
value of thoße goods, that we have seen is.
$225,000, while other estimates roach $500,-
000, or a still greater sum. Tbe -insurance
has been very small, either npon the building
oy its contents, Tho number, of exhibitors
was nearly ,4,000. Some of them wero .from
Philadelphia and other parts of Pennsylvania.
Among tbe very few things saved was a case
of patented self-cocking pistols aud rifles ma
nufactured by H. S. Noetu, of this oity.
As is. usual with great Exhibitions of
the products’ of American Industry, the
articles displayed embraced an infinite
variety of-manufactures. It is considered
certain that the fire was tho work’of an incen
diary. It originated, in a part of the building,
sot apart as a lumber room for tho remains of
former exhibitions, and not in use at tbo time.
When the-tiro occurred about two thousand
persons wore in tho Crystal Palace, for tho
’ pnrposp of witnessing tho display presented
within it, A steam calliope, had just Unishod
playing tho air of “ Pop goos tho woascl”
when the flames worn first observod. They
spread with such frigbtrul rapidity that tho
crowd lmd barely timo to osenpo from tho
biiilding in time to sayo'tlioir lives. An im
mense concourse speedily collected to witness
the - conflagration. Tho sight was fearfully
magnificent and sublime, and possessed a ter
rible interest to many of those who witnessed
, it, not only from the destruction of the proper
. ty they had on exhibition, but from tho fear that
! many lives would also be sacrificed. Wo are
i glad to leaf a' that the' latter apprehension has
i proved, and that np one was killed.
, Nothing is left of the Palace bat the iron'
towers at the angles, and a small portion of
the iron sides. All else is an undistlnguish
, able mass of rnins.
It rarely happens that an enterprise has
been more unfortunate throughout than this,
New York Crystal-Palace project.- Great as
were its former difficulties, the crowning cala
mity was reserved for this last sad accident,
and.tho property of the American• Institute
and thousands of enterprising exhibitors has
shared tha common sacrifice which destroyed
the last hopes of thow interested' in the mon
ster building. t ,

THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1858.
Correspondence of The Press.]
To 001. Forhby; The writer, a Republloaa
voter of Delaware county, respectfully asks the
favor of a limited space In your widely oiroulatod
and truly independent and popular journal,, to ad
dress a few words of warning and advloo to his
foUow-Republicans of the Sixth Congressional die*
tilot.
. Like most of his party in Delawaro county, iho
writer a few weeks slooe advocated tho policy of
making d distinct nomination Qgaiqst the Hon.
c Jobp Hiokman, and zealously assisted in placing
John M- Broomall before the people for their sup
port ; bat now, in common with hundreds of hlfl
fallow-Repuhlioans, he is fully sensible of the im*
policy of that act, and is keenly alive to the disas
trous effect an 'adherence to Mr. BroomalPs nomi
nation, by any considerable portion of tbe ifo
publioau. party,.must have on the great issue now
pending/ That nomlbation, as every voter in tbe
district well knows, wns reluotantly concurred in
by Chester* county, by so meagre & majority of the
Convention, that, practically, it feli atill lower on
the,day H was fully made,'and must, if persisted
in, suffer ignominious defeat at the ballot-box.
Defeat in behalf of great principles has been,
and oonld aitaia be, endured by-Bopnblioans and
soiaoe be extraeted out of all its bitterness, if some
progress had been made; but there' oan be nought
else but bitter rankling belf-aoousatidhs over de
feat which sacrifices our excellent nominee at tbe
shrine of mere party feelings and party rules, and
Buffers the dough-face oandidate of the Adminis
tration and the slave, power, OharlesD. Manly, to
defile the place of the fearless John Hickman.
There can be no deulal to tbe foot that tbe mass
of the people, without distinction of party,
are attached to John. Hickman. Our_party love
him as if he was one of themselves. They know
that when the . alleged; frauds in Kansas were re
ferred In Congress, In January, 1866, to the Com
mittee on Elections, 1 of whiob committee'he was a
member, that As moved Hmttho ooramiitee should
ask the House for power to send for persons and
papers; that If was fits vole that earned the mo
tion in committee; that it was his earnest elo
quence that carried the motion through the House;
that to Jam alone is the nation indebted for tbe
full exposure of the orimes. against liberty in
Kansas.-qs revealed in.fche famous report made to
the Houso. They know it was to Min they werein
dobted for tb© ; key whioh unlocked 'thearmory,
from whteh they drew the ‘greater vnarfe-ef their
guns and ammunition intkememoraDle.oampalgn
of 1856, and that he voted, too, with the Republic
cans for tho Toneka Constitution. For those aots
of jastioe the Itepublloaus gave him voted enough
to re-elect him in 1856. at a time even''when uo
was the • most powerful opponent—because tbe
mosthoneßt—tbev had on tbo main Issue.
Of tbe small but illustrious band of Democrats
and South Americans who joined tho Republicans
in resisting that monstrous crime against free go
vernment itself—the Leoompton Constitution—we
reoogniso that John Hiokman was the foremost
and boldest—tho noblest Roman of them alt! ”
With suoh a reoord, familiar to tbe pooplo of
bis district us household words, it has been found
to bo impossible to brlog out tbe Republican parly
against him. Oar party has organized, has made
Us nomination; tho nominee is undoubtedly on
able man,'well and widely known, and legitimate
ly put before us. Party leaders urgo us by party
niies, and for party considerations, to support tbe
nomination.. Meetings are called, mouey< is sub
scribed and spent, apd speeches are made in his
behalf; but a'l In vaip. We make no progicss.
Our people yield n roluotant nnd feeble response
to the calls of the party, - but refer with pride to
tbe reoord of John Hiokman, and point wiui exal
tation to the foot that -hundreds of. our rank-and
file are' fighting under his lead. In Chester oonn
ty more than half of tho whole American and Re
publican vote is openly and ardently battling for
Mr. niokman; and in Dolaware hfi is daily gain
ing fresh accessions from the same parties in evory
township in the county. At the adjourned meet
ing at Media September 30th. of tho convention
which nominated Mf- Broomall, it was ascertained
that not less than nine members of the convention
who had voted for. him were advooating the elec
tion of Mr. Hiokman. A few bittor. partisans,
with more feeling than judgment, oohtfnuo to ad
vise Mr. BroomalTto’keeplo the field, whilst many
of his warmest admirers, who stand pledged to
vote for. him, and intend to keep their pledges, aro
openly urging others to vote for Mr. Hiokman, and
are doing their utmost for him.
The'enthmiaim of the campaign is all on Mr.
Hickman's side, and has been so manifested from
tbe first; nor is it a matter of surprise, for, when
yot did apeople so intelligent aud just as tbe peo
ple of Dofaw&ro and Choicer fail to recognise and
sustain ability so great, merit so pure, and aots so
independent and (barters as his Congressional re
oord proves his to have been ?
Tbe people wero prepared to like him for bis
conduct in tha past; and his recent eloquent de
nunciations of the wrongs heaped on the protest
ing people of Kansas; of tho corruptions of the
Buchanan dynasty; of the haughty intolerance
and aggressive spirit of tfae South; his bold plead
ings for the forming of a true Northern sentiment,
to develop. Northern interests, protect North
ern rights, havo.callcd forth the'admiratteubf the
honest and Intelligent of all parties,'and won tbe
main htQdy of our party right over 'fata his
rooks, , , \ -1 ■
Mr. Broomall oan.mqkfl no headway before this
enthusiasm, anif his. dqjhat {9 jneyitq.bfa, and ap

We understend that the contract of Mr. Lawrence
Myers, of Philadelphia, for casMron pipes for the

recommendation of the engineer in charge of the work,
for the reason that the contractor hannot complied with
its provisions by delivering the thirty-inch pipes within
the time specified, viz: the first of October. .
“The contract was given to Mr. Myers, though not
the lowest bidder, because he offered to deliver these
pipes within thi specified time: It is dearly proper,
therefore, that having failed in this condition, tho con
tract should be forfeited.
“We rosy also state that, as the pipes are required

.. ‘grhpk Company': ’’ ‘ -
• * ' Loni»*n, September 18.
I arrived at Valentis on the evening of l the 6th fn»t.,
wh*n I found that no words had for tnafry da}* been
received through the table from NetrfoandlAnd. 1
' natb’eflth Jib. oth.Mth and 10th, I tested the cable
al'inter/abi In four different w&yA to ascertain its con
dition The following R/Se tho repiilt*:
1 TherC is & fault of great ruaguitude at a dtaipngp
of between two bundreQ and forty-five and thtVe hun
dred statute miles from Valeutia, bflt the locality can
not be more accurately ascertained until a portfon of the
cable, twenty or thirty miles In length, baa been tested
against my standard of resistance.’and until the log
has been to ascertain the amouot of slaok
Said out. I would suggest tjj&t the niece ot cable at
reenwloh be earefolly measured aud tossed agajnßf
standard In order to obtain tho most correct feathVt&ie
of the distance of the fault Assuming, boWever. that
it is two hundred and seventy' miles, and allowing
twenty-two per cent for slack, it is' possible that the
chief defect is (n shallow water—four hundred and ten
/atbomp.
2 The eoppor wire at the faulty place abovo alluded
to does not touch the iron c'Overmgof the cable, as
is proved by its forcing a voltaic eJeojapL which gives
rise to a continuous positive current from tyts copper
wire varying .verv little in tension *
3. The Insulation of the wire between Valentla aud
the fault is'perfect, or at feast contains' no ddfeot’of
aufficient importance to he perceptible,* or to materially
inynenfle the working were the cable otherwise per
fect.
• 4. The copper ,wire la ooptinpous, and consequently
the eablehaa not parted. Paint signals or peversAla are
still received from Newfoundland, hut the prayer used
will shortly eat away the exposed copper wire in the
faulty pl&oe by electrolytic decomposition.
The actual resistance of tho fault appears to be at
least equal to ten miles of the cable, out is most
probably greater. ’
■ Takmjfft at lie lowest resistance, vis. 10 miles, and
assuming tha,t Newfoundland id only using lip cells of
Daniels* battery, the strongest'currant received thence
during my stay wai oily l*24th part of the force
it should be were there but this one fault ' When it is,
hQwevCr, borne In mind that on the other side they are
probably using more power, and also That the'defect
first alluded to probably offers more rfealflfanee than
that assumed, via. 10 miles,'it is evident that there is
another and more* distant fault, the approximate lo
cality of which I ooula nbt pretend to estimate at this
end without befog able to speak to Newfoundland
From authentic shown to tqe at Valentla, I am
of opinion that there was a fault onboard the Agamem
non. before the 'coblb waseubmerged, at a distance of
about die hundred and sixty miloa from one eud, and
aik hundrtd atid loHy from the other.
Tbe following are the dum In question, but on what
occasion they were obtained, I ara unable to state, They
were, however, probably taken when the ships were at
Queenstown:

•*■? io fora«d *%at the currents through the
cable, even immediately after it was submerged: were
ho weak that relays were useless, and that not one per
fect message Was recorded by them; everything that
was received being read from the deflections of a sal
vanoraeter." •
Br comparing the above data with those ot the new
cable now making by Messrs. Glasse & Elliott for the
Electric and International Telegraph Company, the
amount of current which ontered the 1,090 miles of
oable when disconnected at one end should not have ex*
c# ®J* o d 2or 2 6 parts instead of 7 5 and 8 6 parte.
The inference by rough calculation, therefore, is that
J“®f® a fault offering a resistance eqnal to 1,000 or
1,200 miles .of cable, situated at a distance about 660
miles from one end of the 1200 mile coll on hoard the
AgAmemnon.
rbia, however, cannot be the fault first alluded to,
situate at about 870 miles from Valentia, but may have
been tbe one which caused such alarm when the ships
wero 500 miles from Ireland aud when the signals
ceased altogether and never certainly recovered.
' I* “Dot at all improbable that the powerful currents
from the large induction Coils have impaired the insu
lation, and that, had more moderate power been used,
tbe cable would still hare been capable of transmitting
messages. f
To satisfy myself on this point, 1 attached to the cable
a piece of gutta-percha-covered wire, having first made
a slight incision in tbe gotta percha to let the water
reach the wire ;* the wire was {hen bent so as to close
up tbo defect, The defective wire was then placed in
a jog of sea water, and the latter conueeted with the
!’ « ftrt £ " After a few s’goaU had been sent from the
induction coils into the cable, and, consequently, into
the test wire, the electricity burnt through the incision,
rapidly burning a hole nearly one-tenth of anin -hlu
diameter,.
When the full force of the coils was brought to boar
on the test wire by removing them from the cable, and
allowing the electricity only one channel—vis , that of
the test wire—the discharges, as might be expected,
burnt a hole In the guttapercha under the water hair
an inch in length, and tbe burnt gotta percha came
floating up to the surface.
The foregoing experiments prove that when there are
imperfections In tno insulating covering, there is very
grett danger arising from using sash intense currents.
The else of the present conducting strand it too small
to have worked satisfactorily, even had the insulation
been sound. With a strand of larger dimensions less
intense current would bo required, and both speed and
cer'alnty increased. - • r
ft is not, however, altogether impossible that some
intelligible signals may yet be received through the
cable, as stated in my previous communication

Suspected Murder—Excitement at the
Wharf.— I The vicinity of Race-street wharf was thrown
into a high state of excitement yeßterday, by a singular
train of circumstances. The ship Shamrock, 0»plaln
Donne, was belog loaded by Messrs. Bishop & Simons,
for New Orleans. She lies at the end of the pier at the
foot o r Race street. The persons on board the ship,
during the night, were John Smith, the carpenter, Mr.
Scott, tbe first mate, knd the watchman of'he ship.
Soon after daylight the doer of the room occupied by
Smith, the carpenter, in whit is known as the forward
deck-house, was found open by the watchman. The
*' deck botse” Is a sort of cabin on deck, near Ibo for
ward part or tbe vessel, which Is intended for the use
of the petty < ffleern of the s^ip.
Mr. Smith Was called by tbe watchman or mate, and
no answer being received, thoy entered his apartment,
and a shocking scene wai revealed. The bed clothes iu
thp sleeping berth of Smith were saturated with blood,
and upon the pillow lay a portion of his whiskers with a
grpatdeal of gore, as though'the throat of the occu
pant of the bed had been cut while he was asleep. Be
neath.the pillow was a rasor covered with blood, Rod
Mir by vas an open olasp-knlfo also bloody. The floor
was puddled with blood, and the articles in thenar
row apartment were spattered with tbe vital fluid.
There were terrible evidences of a bloody deed having
been committed, but the victim had disappeared, and no
trades of blood, could pa found to indicate where the
body nadbeen taken
The Sixth-ward police were soon upon the spot, and
updef the persuasion that a murder had been commit
ted, the watchman and a brother-In-law of the missing
man were taken into cuatodv, and removed to the
Mayor’s office, where an investigation into the myste
rious affair was commenced. It was ascertained that
Smith was rnarrSet) about two years since, to a German;
ili Nfcw.York, by whqin'hp bad'ope ohUd. There wag
srnpe pausp of disagreement between tUe coqple, and
there has been no communication between them of
late. . Smith had boon in port for two months, and
during this period he had seen nothing of his wife.
On Tuesday, Mrs. Smith, acoompanled by her brother
in-law, came to this city, and had an interview with
her husband, the result of which has not yet been made
known, but which, St is thought, was not calculated to
make the husband comfortsbio or happy. Mrs. Smith
was fonnd at a Gorman tavern, In Water street, above
Walnut, yesterday morning, and was removed to the
Central Station,' bat she said nothing concerning her
husband or of any knowledge how he had disappeared.
While the investigation at the Mayor's office was in
progress, news arrived that the missing min had beeu
found alive, and a new tarn was at once given to the
mysterious affair. It seems, that about 10 o’clock in the
morning, the hands were employed to loading the ship
with b.l.d hav Tier *ep> puking th« hnjr in a.
'* run,” below decks, in the extreme after part 61 the
vessel, and the missing man wAs fdpod crouched up in
a spot where, In’k moment mbre, hi would haye wen
cover*) with a bale of bar, and effectually placed out of
sight uptil the cargo would be removed at New Qrleaos
ilif esqape from being thus packed in ampng the cargo
was almost iplraculous.
Upon bringing to the light it was found that
b>B tbrpat w»s oit, windpipe belog severed in front
W4 a $“*11 arterr tjetog pr. lames was called
qpon and dressed thp wound, declaring his belief that
it would not provp fatal. He thought the sufferer
could speak ifhe had been disposed to; bnt he lay as
quiet as though he were lifeless Two slight wounds
wore also found about the middle of the left arm They
had the appearance of having Von made there for the
purpose of opening an artory. These wounds amounted
to nothing, the skin being barely punotured. The man
was takon to the Pennsylvania Hospital, after his
wounds were dressed.
It seems probable, and, in fact, almost oertain,that
Bmltb made an attempt to commit suicide by opening
an artery and cutting his throat. After performing the
latter operation, while lying upon his pillow, he got up
and worked his way below and to the opposite extremi
ty pf the ghip, f here he stored himself away in a place
which’* 3 ® muathave known would aeon be occupied with
Che cargo. The blood* from his wbuna' lodged in his
crothes Which absorbed it, ana in'this way the sbsened
of }>lood spots oh the decks'l« accounted for. Had he
not bsen discovered, and had thb hay beon packed over
him, thb persons on boara the ship when he disappear
ed iVould have been Involved in a painful dilemma, and
hrouid {jave been a' borriblo mystery to solve at
Smith wtf a very sober, steady young man, and It la
believed that he wee drlveb to mekb an attempt upon
hie )ife by heavy * domes tie trouble, fie" obtained
twenty dollars from Captain Roane. This mosey was
found among his clothes In hie trunk.
Several explanations have bepn given of the affair by
the wife and brothcr-ln-law. bnt there is nothing yet
developed Will tpafppally change toe statement
glyen above.
A Monument to , W’ABjnNaTON.~By invita
tion of the Directors of tho Tenth Section, a meeting
of delegates from the different School Boards was held
at the Ohester-stroet School-hcuse, to devise means to
interest the scholars and their parents towards the
erection of a monument to Washington. Delegates
were present from the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth,
Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Sixteenth,
Seventeenth, Eighteenth. Twenty Brat, aod Twenty
fourth Seotlons—in all, fourteen. James Q Randall,
Mr Randall, after* stating'the object of the meeting,
said that Friday were "employed by the fe
male scholars In sowing, aud he had no doubt h fair
could he got up, the articles for which would Be cheer
fully supplied by the scholars.
The State Arieoal. one of the largest buildings In the
city, could be got for little or no oharge to hold sucti*

monument fund There were now |56 QQQ invested by
the Omolnnafcj S'oiety In State fives, in two separate
foods, now held by the Farmora* and Ueohanlea' Raok,
who are the agents of tho State. This fund could, no
doubt, be reached, If sufficient exertion! were uieu to
raise enough money to complete the monument, which
would probably require some $70,000 0r576,000.
Ur. UGorge L Dougherty moved that a committee of
five be appointed to consider the matter, and report a
hlftn op clang, to be submitted to this body at a future
meeting: ' f o «•* * * i
n The motion was adopted, and the Chair appointed as
the committee, Meiers, tieorgo L Dough«rty, W) J.
Jarkson. B. F. ITurt,'W. B Stephens, and JB. Hosier,
after which the chairman and a cretaries were added.
Several suggestions were then made as <o the best
means of accomplishing the end in view. The idea of
a fair seemed to moot with approval, but nothing defi
nite was agreed upon, the subject being left to the com
mittee.
The secretaries were directed to notify the sections
who have not sent delegates, recommending them to
unite in the movement; after which the meeting ad

James F. Johuson; Esq., of the Seventh ward, ma
speech of masterly ability and some length, gave in bis
whole-souled support‘to the resolutons. He was
greeted #ith prolonged choering whfcu he announced
hirapclf as an anti-Lebompten Demoorat.

A Splendid Vehicle. —A very beautiful
hearse, fora gentleman of Washington, D. 0 , has just
been completed by Messrs. Beqkhous, AUgeqr. A Sut
lers, of Froukford road, in this city, . The firm In ques
tion are among the most celebrated carriage-makers in
tbe Union. Their vehicles are now runuing in most of
the countries of the qtvUUtd world. The hearse la
qttestioif is well .Worthy s of inspection. It is gothic in
construction, the eldesubetog of crystal plate gl*»»
nearly half anmohln thickness. The whole & enameled
to such a degree that solid ebony could not be more
beautiful. There fs probably no house in the country
gotten up with the same, degree of elaborate finish.
The design is by Mr. Allgesr. It is highly emblemati
cal, the insignia of death and of immortality being in
terspersed with rich and massive carving. A new (fea
ture ]s given to thp affatr by enameled paintings upon
the glass panelling, which present the appearanep. of
filter statuary. The whole is finished and ironed
wj * P er^ec t manner, constituting another spied

A mission sehool has also been established within the

A Model Establishment.—in passing np
Chestnot street, yeeterday/our attention was attracted
to the splendid new brush. Me. Edwin
Clinton, No; 903 Chsstnut steeet, first store above Ninth,
on tbe south side. We take,pleasure in calling the at
tention of our readers to this neat, and, in some de
gree, unique house, for several reasons: First, it is
emphatically unrivalled in its line by another .hotpe la
this city; secondly, there is not, that we are aware of,
any other brush-house iu whteh is found * every de
scription of brushes now in use, whether far the toilet,
the house, the artists' stndfa, the workshop of the
artisan, or the eloth-rbom; andr lastly, ~we iake plea
sure In noticing it for thcjsuoerior.character of the arti
cles offered to the publtel The proprietor, Mr. Clinton,
although for some , years engaged in the same branch of
trade and manufoctare, has not, until quite recently,
availed himself of qaarters ln which his facilities would
enable him to eater directly tilths wants of the retail
trade. This desiderating he has achieved with striking
good taste In bis present establishmentsu we think
every one will agree who will derate to it a visit pf in
spection, of which it is eerUlnly worthy. ” The. store
here referred to is a model for neatness,'both’as to Its
internal construction and tbVaningemenVof Its stock,
and its proprietor will doubtless reap,as'the*reward;or
his industry aqd ; enterprise, a. liberal patronage at tbe
hands of ourcitisens In general, and the ladies inparti
cnlar. , v
» Bemoval op ten Market Shedn.—-We notice
that many of pur Market-steaet,friendsxre growing Ju
bilant over the prospect of having rased from the state
ly thoroughfare they.have’too, losg cumbered, one oi
most abominable nntsances tderated by kh ebllghtened
eomminiW within the present century. Nor is it to be
wondered at tiiat'they who have eolong suffered the
dlstdvantagu of those market-houses— alias barracks
for rats and small merchandising—shoald feels lively
Interest in their removal. This, like many other pro
gtessire 'steps, needs bnt to be consummated to Insure
the favorable verdict of allj and. more'especially'- those
who feel a proper interest in the advancement of our
city. ~
Another Grand Opening.—Yesterday -wqg
one of those' charming autumn days which Out
door exercise a' luxury. For the sake of our fair
readers, no less than our fair-dealing friends, Messrs.
Lincoln, Wood, A Nichols, No. 46 South Second street,
we haye $ special desire that to-day may hold out
equally propitious. Tho firm named—who are known
as tbe proprietors of one of the most complete and ex
tensive millinery establishments in-this country as
will be seen by their announcement elsewhere, will
open to-dey their grandest productions, in the bonnet
line, of the present season. We know this Is a good
deal to aay of a manufactory as extensive as theirs;
bnt the facts, doubtless, warrant them in maklng the
announcement,and wain repeating it. This opening
will afford an opportunity which'theladieV should not
fail to improve.
Mournino Goods.—We need not tell the readers
of The Press that for everything in the way of mourn
ing dress goods, the well-known establishment of
Messrs' Besson ft Son, bn Chestnut street, above Eighth,
stands among toe first, in point of extent end variety,
in this country. These gentlemen not only manifest
good taste in the selection of their stocks, qqtorpris? la
