TUkSDAY, JUNE 24, 1862.
Books of the Season,
What are called books of the season, in
English parlance, are simply half a dozen (or
fewer) publications out of the scores and hun
dreds which annually appear—simply the most
striking and popu'ar, if not always the best,
of the multitude. The mania for bookmaking
is great, and is apparently contagious. As By
ron said :
"'Tie nloasatit, sure, to See one's name in 'print
A bcok'a a'book, although thore's nothing in't,"
and an equally illustrious authority, pleasantly
bespeaking mercy from his critics, ex
claimed
tn morcr spare me, if I do my best
To snake no much waste-paper as the rest,'
When Thomas Campbell, the poet, at a great
city feast, was reproached with not belonging
to any city company or guild, he retorted,
On the contrary, as an author, I am a mem.
her of the worshipful Company of Paper-
Stainers." At present, onerbalf the world
apparently is occupied in reading what is writ
ten by the other half.
Out of the crowd of publicatioias which an
nually issue from the London press, a very
few, as we have said, attain great celebrity.
As far as our observation has 'been made, it
does not matter wind, the subject of a work
inlay be, to make it one of the Books of the
Season.. Sometimes a man's adventures are
related—such as Kane, Livingstone, or Du
Chaillu ; sometimes a neve! bits the public
taste—such as, not long ago (besides the pro
ductions of Bulwer, or Dickens, Thackeray
and Wilkie Collins) Marian Evans' "Adam
Bede," and Mrs. Henry Wood's "East
Lynne :" sometimes it may be a history ; now
a volume of poems; anon of =Mons. We
have knoWn a book on chemical science, by
Liebig, have the run of a season. In Paris,
and other great publishing cities, it is much
the same. For instance, Eugene Sue's
"Mysteries of Paris," some of George Sand's
romances, Paul de Kock's or De Balzac's no
vels, Dumas' 4, Monte Christo," of which he
never wrote a line!
Some authors. are able and fortunate enough
to have all theirproductiens admitted, at once,
to the rank of Books of the Season. The first
who had eminent success in this way was
Walter Scott—commencing with his poems,
and continuing with his novels. It must be
remembered that for one book-reader in Eng
land there are fifty in the United States, and
that where one book is bought in England, at
least one hundred are purchased here. The
price of English books virtually prevents their
general sale.. A man will give fifty cents or a
dollar fbr a book, original or not,"published
here, but never would give seven to eight dol
lars for the same book, as in England. Hence,
the greater number ofEnglish books go into the
circulating libraries, where six to eight cents a
volume are paid for the more privilege of hasty
perusal. Thus, for a new novel In groat de
mand, a reader will pay half a dollar, (throe
volumes being the usual number for a work of
&tie%) and he could buy a neat reprint of the
same, in one volume, for hall the money—
sometimes for less. For instance, there is
Bulwer's last novel, called a cc Strange Story."
It was published in London, In two voltimes,
without engravings, for six dollars, and was
republished here, by the Harpers, with scores
of original and good illustrations, for twenty
fire cents. In like manner, Dickens' "Great
Expectations," equally costly in Eogland, was
republished here, by the Peterson's, at twenty
five cents, although the immense sum of One
Thousand Dollars was raid to Dickens, by the
American publishers, for the proof-sheets.
Next in order of time to Scott was the popu
larity of Byron, whose successive productions,
for a long time, were inevitably Bpoks of the
Season. In his memorandi, speaking of the
success of Childe ilarold,(published in 1812,)
he wrote down—half in wonder, halt in- the
Conscious . pea% of genius—(c I awoke one
moin'iag and found myself famous." In
Switzerland, some years later, his physician,
Dr. Polidori, who had a very high opioion of
himself, said, "After all, what is that you. can
do that I cannot ?" Byron answered, " Well;
'since you force me to say, I think there are
three things which I can do that you cannot."
Polidori defied. him to name them. Byron
answered, , cl. can swim across that river ;
I can snuff out that candle with a pistol-shot
at the distance of twtnty paces; and have
written a poem of which 1-1,000 copies were
sold in one day." t . The river here alladed to
was the Rhine, and the poem was cc The Cor
sair," written at the rate of two hundred lines
a day—a fact which would appear incredible,
bet is true.
It would be easy to give a list of successive
and successful authors of Books of the Sea= -
son.. Since Scott's great triumphs, .which
built up Abbotsford, (that splendid "romance
in stone and mortar," as a Frenchman once
called it,) no writer has had any thing like
the popularity , of Dickens. Indeed, the bale
d' his works has - exceeded that of Scott's.
Most of thent have appeared in serial form,
twenty 'numbers
. constitutieg the whole single
story. The volume, when completed, ',would
have cost five dollars, bat when purchased, in.
numbers, atiwenty-five cents a month, the.
payments were almost imperceptible. It is a,'
singular fact that, from the commencement of
ic Pickwick " to the present time, a period of
twenty-elk years, there was only 'a * solitary
instance of the author's disappointing the pub•
lic by failing to produce the' usual .monthly
number. This was during the publication of
Nicholas - .Nickleby," and an apology was
made on the ground that death had smitten a
-dearly'-loved
, member of -his' family, (Hrs.
Dickens' sister,) which had rendered Dickens
unable to write , that month. Of course, such
a plea was kindly received, bat we remember,
as if it were a thirg of yesterday, the dismay
and disappointment . of all readers at the non-,
appearance of the usual instalment of ec Nic
kleby." •
While writing these lines, we have been re
minded, in the new number of c; The Book of
Days," of the extraordinary good fortune
which made an Almanack pre-eminently
. the
BOok of the Season. In November, 1887, an
Irish gentleman named Patrick Murphy, who
had been a schoolmas'er, and had some little
knowledge of . natural selerice, prevailed upon
Whittaker Br. Co., publishers in London, to
bring out what he called a Weather Almanack,
containing, predictions :'of the state of the
weather during every day in the year. It was
not on the old and vagne plan, of running
through a month something such as cc Expect
—much—rain—about—this time—if • not—it
will bc"—otherwise," but a bold and open
weather prophecy for each day. Murphy,
who was poor, wished to sell his interest in
this . Almanack for one hundred pounds, bat
Whittaker, who took the risk of publication,
cautiously bargained that he and the author
should evenly divide profits, whenever profits
should accrue.
Murphy's prediction, for January 20, 1838,
was " Fair, prob. lowest deg. of Winter temp."
It occurred as be bad predicted ! On that day,
at E unriEe, the tbeimometer stood at 4 degrees
below zero ; -1- 6 degrees ; at 12
(noon), -1-14 degrees; at 2 P. it.,16,4 degrees,
and then increased 'to 17 degrees below zero.
During a hundred years preceding there had
notbeen e 0 cold a day in England:-the near
est approach being - on Christmas Day, 1796,
when the thermometer is said to have been 16
degrees below zero ;—but there is no authentic
record of ibis.

was a luck); hit; ..Throughout the year, Mur
phy was partially right on 167 and
,decidectly
wrong on 196. He wail mostly wrong in Feb
ruary; Match, May, and October, and mostly
right in January and. June,—viz : on 23 days
in January and on 18 in June. On the ave
rage, he predicted truly on eight and falsely on
ten days throughout the yearlB3B.

PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 1862. ,
very coldest day of 1838 was mentioned in the
newspapers, and then commenced a most ex
traordinary demand for the Weather Alma
neck, of which, there being no expectation of
a great sale, only a few thou;and copies had
been printed. Extranrdinary efforts were
made to meet the extraordinary demand, and
compositors, stereotypers, press-men, and
printing-machines had a busy time of it.
Meanwhile, when waiting to be supplied, the
patient public amused themselves in com
paring Murphy's productions with • the facts:
He was right in January, twenty-three days
out of thirty-one, and this still further ad
vanced the repute of his prognostics. Orders
for the Weather Almanack pressed in from alt
parts of the country, and, at last, wheat the
publishers were ready with a largo supply,
they were compelled to protect their premlies
with policemen. The publie entered Messrs.
Whittaker's premises by the door in Ave Maria.
Lane, paid their money, got their Almanacks,
am' passed out in what the French'eall a queue,
through the opposite entrance in Stationers'
Hall Court. It took weeks to meet the earlier
dt mend, but the Almanack • kept on selling
during the whole year. In Pebrnary, unfor:_
tunately, Mr. Murphy was not right one day
-in s . i three, but that did not much affect his fame
to'7Weather Prophet. The newspapers con
tinued to keep up the excitement,. 2 by,, an
nouncements of his lucky guesses, for they
were no more, Meteorology net being-able to
see twelve months ahead.
The net profits on the Weather Almanac of
1838 were £6,000, divided betweed Mr. Mar
.pby and Mr. - Whittaker'. Of course, an Alma-•
nac was prepared for 1839, which also had a
great sale, realizing some £4,000 te, author'
and publisher, but so few of the - predictions
were fulfilled that a heavy loss was created on
the Weather Almanac .for 1840, of which 'a
large number were printed, and, by, reason or
small sales, became so much waste paper. On
this, Whittaker ceased to publish for Murphy.
The Almanac was subsequently published by
other London troeksellers-lateit of all by
Eflingheln • Wilson, of the Royal Exchange.
Latterly, -It was scarcely remunerative; In
1847; Murphy, who h.id existed for some time
on the benevolence of Mr. Wilson, his pub-
Usher, died obscurely in a little lodging near
Salisbury Square, Fleet street. It is onlyjust
to add that lie really based his predictions upon
scientific observations sad calculations, and'
firmly believed in himself. •
There waa no novelty in the introduction ot,
predictions Into an almanac. On the
,contra,
ry, they formerly tbrmed the staple of such
works ; the earliest of which, in Europe, ap
peared over four hundred years ago. Nos-e
tradimus, the famous astrologer, (who mi
nutely predicted the death of Henry IL, of
France, the execution of Charles I , of Eng
land, the Restoration, the great fire of Lon
don, 'lived a century before some of these
events occurred,) gave such an impetus to
the publication of predictions that, in 1579,
Henry III.; of Fiance prohibited the appear
ance of political prophecies in almanacs.
However, the Almoueck Eidgeois, Which still
circulates largely in the rural parts of France,
is prophetic. In England and Scotland, for
two hundred years before 1828, when the So.
clety for the. Diffusion of Useful Knowledge
commenced their excellent British ../1/manach,"
predictions were leading features in such
works. To this day "Francis Moore, Physi
cian," figures upon the title page of , an Eng.
lish almanac. Lieut. Morrison, under the
pseudo-nyme of t , Zadkiol the Seer," pub
lishes an almanac of predictions. Murphy
was the first who volunteered to act as Clerk
of the Weather. He is dead, 'but Edward

New York what sort of weather it is-going to

The'Recent AH•ali at . Tunstait's Station.
The following account of the recent raid beide
of our lints, near -the White House, comes from an
oye•witness, and will therefore be read with in
,
tercet
To the Editor of The Press:
Eau : SO much discrepancy exists in the various
accounts which have been published in regard to
the attack of the rebels on the railroad train last
Friday evening, on its way to the White House,
that a statement from one who was a passenger by
that train may help to dispel the mystery which
seems to hang about the affair.
The train left Fair Oats station about 4 P. AL
It was composed of about ten freight cars covered,
and three or four open cars. Its passengers were
unarmed men, many of them sick, on their way to
the general hospital, at White House. Aiwa ap
proached Tunstall'a station, at 7* P. M., five miles
from White:House our speed was slackened, as it
was the intention ofi the engineer to take in water'
at that place. Suddenly, before we had come to a
stop, a.heavy volley was fired at the engineer by a
party of men who were on the bank of one side of
the road. The engineer, with a presence of mind
to which those who escaped owe their freedom, if
not their lives, immediately opened the valves, and
in an instant we sped on at the rate of twenty.five
miles an hour. My attention was first attracted by
a large number of men jumping from the roof of
the cars on the side opposite to that of the attack.
Looking on the other side, I saw a line of men, each
on one knee, certainly net fifty in all, firing on the
train as it passed. Their fire killed, perhaps, four
or live, and must have wounded, more or less se
riously, some twenty persons. Those in our ear
immediately threw themselves on their faces, and,
although the balls raided against the side of the
ear like hail, and many passed through above us,
we all escaped uninjured. .
Now the question is, who were these men, and
Where did they come from ? Any one who will look
at the map, and remember that we occupy only the
south side of the Pamunky; and that the country
between that river and the Mattapony is filled with
a hostile population, will readily perceive that an
organized band of marauders might readily cross
the river Pamunky above the White House, de
stroy the vessels containingsupplies, and the teams
which were loading from these vessels ; and then
penetrate through the 'swamps to Tnnatall's, which -
is not two miles from the river, and attempt to cap
ture a train.. These people could have had no com
munication with the army of the rebelsat
mond, or, at least, did not form a portion of it:
first, because they were so few in number ; second
ly, because we hold the whole line of the Chicika
hominy swamp to a point at least twenty-three
miles north of Richmond ; thirdly, because they
were provided .with no tools to remove the rails,'
and, finally, because they started again for the
'river about ten o'clock, as I was assured by those
who jumped from the care t and remained concealed .
in the swamp during the night, and observed all .
their movements. They were, then a band of
'marauders, composed of residents on thei north side
of the river, wboinade a bold dash across with the
view of doing all the damage they,could in a few
hours. This Is confirmed by the news this morn
ing, that many of the mules oaptured by them on
our aide of the river were found, yesterday, by our
cavalry on theirs.
It is also a great mistake to suppose that the rail
road or the supplies at the White House are un
guarded or in danger. There was' a respectable
land force at the White House that night, and the
rebels, even if they had penetrated our line in
large nowhere, had too wholesome a fearer our gun._
boats to venture an amaalt at a point guarded by
four of these formidable vessels.
Dispatch station, four miles above Tunstall's,
where the bridge crosses the Chiokahominy, was
guarded on that night by nearly 3,000 men, and
Tnnstall's itself would have been occupied en •
Thursday, if a certain colonel of cavalry had
obeyed his orders from headquarters, to proceed
forthwith to that point with his force. - The masse.
ore, therefore, on Friday, is due wholly 'to.,thir
neglect. .We should never forget that we are in a
hostile country, and -that ; all the residents who
have been unmolested in their movements have
been spies, watching a favorable chance to indict,
.injury upon us ; but the idea that the rear of our
army oan be penetrated in force i or •that the rail
road or the depot of our supplies min danger from a
surprise by the enemy is simply absurd. C. J. S.

ADVANTAGE OP DISCIPLINE
The - troops compering the army of the Potomac are
good soldiers certainly, when wo remember that a few
inionthe ego the men were farmers and mechanics. This,
owing to the materiel first, and secondly, to their appre
ciation and onkk application of discipline, which tells as
:Neal with intelligent Americans as it does with the
foreign machine soldier. "It is well known that General
Wool was - always one of the strictest disciplinarians,
although his military education was mainly practical,
being obtained on the field, in camp, or garrison, and it
is also well known that he was proud of the discipline of
his old division of troops, now serving with the army of
the Potomac. Naturally enough, every one here is
unscrews to know how these troops will demean them
selves in battle.
On Thursday last the 20th Indiana Volunteers, for
merly stationed at Camp Damliton, but now forming an
outpost regiment of the gallant Kearney's outpost divi

.THE POOR. CONTRABANDS
The .. No-principle party" are again at work trying to
'lnjure the poor contrabands, who.by the accident of: war
;liars become free men—free laboiers, worthy of their
hire., It is well known that, however worthless the con
trabands may be, they have done all the heavy work
gown here and have been very useful to the Government,
ind it is also well known that many have never been paid
be it. In addition to this, it is just as well known that
those who are most vigorously placing their heels upin
the poor Africafi's neck, now that he Is low and weak t
are the , very ones who have pocketed the money from
the Government, and cheated or helped to cheat the con
trabands out of their pay. The negroes do not know
bow much is doe them, but they know they have not re
ceived eight della-a in any one month, or its equivalent
by half, but as they have no one to plead their cause they
mutt remain silent, and, in order to get rid of working
without pay, must get out of the way of theee Gevern

ing this, truth compels mo to say, that considering the
people of New Orleans as a body politic, a more un
grateful one, or one more factious, taken as a whole,
never existed. Of course, there are individual exceS
tious, but the pall of the reign of terror, or Southern
fanaticism, about .fighting for their independence and
rights, de., as they call it, or all these things combined,
cause them to give unmistakable evidence that they are
deeply hostile to the national cause and to the Northern
soldiery.
PUBLIC OPINION
As en evidence of the state of public feeling here, it is
scarcely necessary to state more than the fact that the
only American flag flying in this entire .city is the sue
displayed on the custom house, which is garrisoned by a
large number of our troop'. Not a newspaper office,
hotel, store, restaurant, private residence, or other
building exhibits the stars and stripes.. The flags of
European and other nationalities are unite common, but
the glorious old 'ter-spangled banner is nowhere to be
•
seen.
WANT OP DI SINESS
Many, probably the larger portion of the stores, are
kept, open In accordance with General Butler's pro
clamation, but there is not much business of
any• kind doing. The banks, with straage fa
tuity or the insanity which smart] to have eon- -
trolled everybody and every thing In the consterna
tion caused by the approach of our fleet, sent all their -
specie, amounting to several millions, out of the city, to
secino it, ea is alleged, from being plundered by the
mob. Be that es it may, it is now said that it was sent
to such a very safe place for keeping that it is utterly
out of their power to get it back again. It is also some
shut singular that all the bank pi eeldents, who accom
pat ied their specie, have not found it convenient to
turn to the city.
YANKEE REGMENTS
The regiments stationed In New Orleans are, I be
lieve, all from the New England States. So rar se I
have seen, or beard of their conduct, it is excellent In
every respect. .
Of the condition, force, and position of Gen. Bemire
gard'a army, I can bear nothing reliable. It is said,
and 'think truly, that there is scarcely a family here
but what bas some ono or more of its members in that
army. .
TUB CRESOOT CITY REG/NEST
The minister of the Fourth PresbytCrian Church, who
I have reason to think, from his character and cancer
satin)), to be a Conscientious Christian clergyman, in
fotreed me that under Beanregard's appeal for men for
service for ninety days, many of the beet yonng men in
his congregation thought it their duty to go to the war,
and went accordingly in the ere/lent City Regiment,"
which was a volatile( r uniformed regiment, composed of
the flower of the young men of New Orleans—many of
whom were dello, find of Northern birth, engaged in
stores hero. Alter the battle of Shiloh, in which the
regiment was engaged, be said it became his painful
deity to communicate to their respective families the
deaths of several members of hie congregation who toll
OD that bloody field. Among Orem, he 'said, wore two
most exemplary and promising young men, leaders in
the Bible ChM, in his church; and one gentleman, who
bad been married and fitted up a nice hones but
little over a year ago, upon entering which to
break the sad tidings= of the father's death, he
was met by the young wife with her smiling baby in her
at me. Nis eyes filled with tears as he narrated the scene
that ensued, and I am not ashamed to coulees that he
did not weep alone. This simple story 'made a strong
impression on my mind, • It came back to me In the even
ing, and I could not get rid of •it, and It set me to think
ing upon a subject I bad beard talked about a good
deal, but as it was none of my bueinees, I had paid little
or no attention to it, and that woe what le the real cause
of the unmistakable 'aversion of the people here to our
inddiere, and their evident determination to have aa little
intercourse as possible with the' officers and men of our
forma. I think it arisee mainly: from the fact of so many
of their relatives and friendaluilng in the army, and any
citizln here seen associating with, or 'extending civilities
to our people, is afraid of encountering the reproaches•
or incurring the displeasure of his neighbor. This, in
my bumble judgment, is one of the prominent causes of .
the curious state of the relations existing here between
the troops and citizens. There are, however, many other
cantos patent to the meet casual observer, for the non
intercourse sort of system prevailing, .rich as the morti
fication caused by seeing the commercial capital of the
great Confederacy occupied by the "Yankees," a term
which, however, le now applied pretty generally to all
Northern men, and the belief entertained, that the strng
.gle is not yet decided, and that eventually they will:
achieve their independence, .4.e. • •
New Orleans has 'suffered in every way by the war.
It is a commercial city without committee s and the means'
to carry it on, when restored,dwill Iliave to come from
abroad, for the bankii are utterly ruined, and can never
be resuscitated, owing to the immense amount of Con
federate notes they hold, and which they can never
Make available to any considerable extent after the ex.
tinction of the rebellion. 8. E. B.

LATE FROM NEW ORLEANS.
Gen. Butler's Famous Woman Order
To the Editor of the Daily Delta:
Seeing Bongs sevens strictures in somo of the Northern
papers upon Ostler No. 28, of Major Oatmeal Butter,
commanding the Division of the Gulf, In which the terms
of that order are very hsrshly criticised, it is perhaps not
inappropriate for a citizen of New Orleans for more than
a qliftitt.r of a century to bear witness to the necessity of
tome order of that kind being made, to order to sup-
Mein a practice on the part of some or the-women of
Now Orleans who would have felt themselves most
highly insulted at not being considered ladle,, which fre
quently come to the notice of the writer himself.
' It is d notorious fact that, immediately upon the land
ing of the Government forces in thls'city. some of the'
woman (not all by any means) were constantly in the
habit of exhibiting their hatred and contempt for the
officers and soldiers in such palpable wave as to leave no
rum for mistake as to their intentions, to wit: When
officers or soldiers entered the street railroad care or om
nibuses., they wero met by curlings of the lies and noses
on what emotld have bees modest faces i by the polling
ix-of tkirts, as irthelr wearers were afraid that they
would income soiled by coming in contact with the uni
forms of the oflicere and soldiery of the United Stales.
Cmtederato flags would be flouted in their faces whilst
walking the streets, and if, perchance, they happened to
get mar inch ladies in the street., skirts would be drawn
up and .aide la such a way as to exhibit more of atiklea
then of good marmrs. Staves of the "Bonnie-Bine
Flag," and other Secession conga, would immediately be
mg upon the appearance of Federal officers in the
neighborhood of certain dwellings, otherwise the abode
cf gentility.
In some of the public rthoola in the city, the female
pupils vete Aatructed by their lady teachers to 'how
iltir contempt for Federal officers and poldiera, in case
they thould ylalt than, by refosing to off. r them any of
the common civilities due vi=itors to the echeols, and by
the efogirg of tbo "Bonnie Blue Flag," etc., all of which .

The effect of the order boa been moat happy, ill Waning

Union Mass Bleating
[From the New Orleans Delta, June 15.]
The Union Association of New Orleans last night held
a mass meeting in Lyceum Hall. A great mast of en
thusiaatio participant; thronged the room, while the
galleries overhead were filled with fair ladles, who, by
their pretence, lent another and golfer charm to the
scene. Able and Eloquent speeches were made by Messrs.
Madison Day, Charles Lamont, and T. J. Earhart, and
seten some stirring allusion was made to our great Be
pntllc. "the Mecca of nations," the very walls sremoled
with the deters of the excited throng.
After the twtjournment, the association proceeded with
a bah dof music to the St Charles Hotel and serenaded
Major GeLoral Butler lied General Shepley, who ap
peared and mode hudsome Yeepoeees, which were loudly
applauded by the immense assembly present.
A meeting of the association wtll bo held this morning,
at Lyceum Hall, at 10 o'.-lock, to enroll new membors.
The bell is In motion'! Keep it moving!
Crowds Taking the Oath of Allegiance
We - take great pleasure in knowing that the citizens of
this town, and the towns nonicent, are seizing the oppor
tunity to come forward and renew their vows to stand by
the Union. It is a high privilege, and we doubt not that
it will be considered as such To stand once more right
upon the record must be a source of gratification to alt.'
We are sled to ba informed that rich and poor jostle each
other at the places prescribed for takinw the oath. ;This
is as ft should be; for it proves that wealth knows and
feels that under the justrule of the commanding general
it will he allowed no special privilege. but must stand on
the HMIs finality of allegiance us poverty. They do well
in this, at tbe commanding general will certainly allow no
favoritism at the altar of the country.
The Picayune of the 12th says a large army of labore - a
had for the last three days been assembled around the
City Nall, awaiting employment by the City Council.
Gen. Butler has ordered the unconditional release of
Dr. Stone, an eminent citizen of. Now Orleans.
The Picayune announces that the coy is full of the
most exciting and variant rumors relative to =Mali

EIMRATA MOUNTAIN SPRINGS.—This pleasant
and popular place, lately owned by the lamented
Joseph Ronigreacher, Esq , has been purchased by
Upton S. Newcomer, of the Union Hotel in this
city, who will open the same for the reception of
visitors on the drst'day of July next. Of Ephrata
Springs it is needless to say anything. Those who
have been there will go there again, as it possesses
every advantage to make it one of the most attrao
tive summer resorts, while under the management
of its present proprietor, Mr. Newcomer, wo feel
assured no pains will be spared to make it equal in
every respect to any watering-place in the country.
BROAD TOP CITY ROTEL —This well.known eum
liter resort has been newly fitted up, from cellar to dome,
.and is now open for visitors. It is one of the most de
lightful and healthy places in the State as a summer re
sort,• the country and scenery around it being mogul
ficently greed, and the atmosphere the purest of the
tinrg. The accommodations are equal almost to the
Continental Rotel in Philadelphia, while the chargei are
not half to great Colonel Morrison, the gentlemanly
end obliging landlord, understands hie business to per
fection, and never fails to make his aneets feel perfectly
at home. Mrs. Morrison, the accomplished landlady,
will bo found amiable and entertaining, and moves about
the house with that proco and ease which is mire to win
the aclmirationof her goads. In a word, Broad Top
city, as a summer resort, has no superior in the State;
the charges are moderate, the. house is kept in a style
equal to any to bo found, it is easy of access, the table is
furnished with all the delicacies of the season, prepared
in •the most skilful manner, and the landlord and land
