THE UNITED STATES SANITARY FAIR
ROVNI3 AT LOGAN Starrang.—Logan Square, one
of t h e prettiest in Philadelphia, is bounded b Y
.I•lighteenth, Nineteenth, Race, and vino streets,
and contains about two hundred and fifty thousand
square feet. The gravel walks or promenades are
arranged at right angles with each other, and con
tain an average width of over thirty feet, so that the
buildings erected thereon elm have this width in
the clear. The main walk. extending from Eigh
teenth to Nineteenth streets*, will afford room for
an arched building, silty-tour feet wide, five hun
dred feet long, the arch Waving an elevation of fifty
feet. This may be considered `the main building of
the entire Structure. It will contain a floor surface
of 32,000 square feet. It is being put up by Messrs.
1.•:Itone, Quigley, .1.; Burton, under the especial super
intendence of Mr. Murphy, who is attached to the
este blishment.
We might state in this place that the entire work
is being done under the general superintendence of
Bin B. N. Shedaker, who devotes :Mitts time free of
charge. All the money that is paid goes to the me
chanics and laborers, nli of whom intend to devote
one dayts labor to the glorious cause. The main
entrances are three in number. They will be at the
corner of Eighteenth and Vine streets, northeastern
gate; corner of Eighteenth and Race st.reets, south
eastern gate: the eastern gate on Eighteenth street,
abont half-way between Race and Vine. The gate
ways of exit will he at the northwest corner of Vine
and Nineteenth streets, southwest corner of Race
and Nineteenth streets, and the western on Nine
teenth street, half-way between Race and Vine.
The main building will extend from the gateway on
Eighteenth street, the main centre entrance, to the
western limits of he square, being the main centre
-exit. On the east side of Eighteenth street islocated
the beautiful cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul,
of the. Roman Catholic religion, with its immense
dome, 2nd the emblem of Faith pointing to the vast
arch of blue, inspiring a spirit of veneration for
lady things. In our visit yesterday afternoon we
gleaned the following facts, that will prove interest
ing to the public -
FEEEEZEI
This pole is the largest in the United States. lt
has a bedding in the earth to the depth of 16 feet.
The top of the immense liag:Aatf Is 216 feet above
the surface. A model steamship, ten feet long. snr-
Viounts the tall structure, the propeller receiving
its eirenlar motion from the lefty breeze. This pole
ryas contributed by that glass of industrious opera
tives known as 'longshoremen. It cost 14,600, and
was donated by the men who placed it in its present
position. There will be a grand flap--raising - , at
ome time yet to be fixed, between the present - and
the commeneement of the Great Pair. This pole is
cmistrueted in -the most substantial _manner, and
limy really be considered one of the most admirable
tionations to the institution.

It is rather a difficult matter to draw a pen pic
ture of the plan, so as to be easily understood; but
sle make the attempt. The four main buildings,
each 500 feet by 30 feet in the clear. extend around
the four sides of the square.. Then we have the 500
feet by ti 4 feet arch building running east and west.
There are two immense circular buildings north and
,ouch of the centre of the square, then branching
cut from either side of both of these are large rec
tangular building,s formed in shape like a T. Be

Near the main Gothic arch building are the rooms
for the executive committees of ladies and gentle
men.
The reader may form some Idea of the magnitude
Of the structures from the above somewhat-praeti
cal or mechanical description. We have merely to
:aid that a fine play ground,2soteet by To feet, will be
arranged on the southeastern part of the enelosure
for the children. The public schools have not been
forgotten, for a building 250 by 30 feet has been ap
propriated for their especial use. On the eastern

be appropriated to Messrs. Rooney, Nreaftle i St
Co., who design to exhibit an iron steam yacht, 55
feet in length now in progress of early completion.
A portion of the space west of the south centre will
be placed at the disposal of coal operators and retail
grocers. Mr. Shedaker inflamed us yesterday
hat all the buildings will be finished in
the course of two weeks. The workmen are
busy as bees in pursuing their respective avoca
tions ; gas and water pipes are being laid, the pipes
lbr illuminating are being arranged, and every
thing connected with the entire work is progressing
?admirably- The exhibition promi..ier? to be a great
success, and for extent and beauty will stand un
surpassed. The 'visitor who intends to pass through
all the departments will have to walk very nearly
two miles before accomplishing an inspection of the
entire exhibition.

shops, Right Revs. William Paul Quinn, Daniel
A. Payne, and Willis Nayrey were present, and
members and delegates from the Annual Conference
districts of Ohio. Indiana, New England, Missouri,
Philadelphia; New York, Baltimore, and a double
delegation from the British Provinces of North
America.
The entire session of yesterday was occupied in
effecting- an organization, some difficulty growing
out of a..law of the discipline governing said organi
zation, which says " The General Conference shall
be composed of all the travelling preachers who
have travelled six full years in our connexion, whose
character and standing are fair, and one regularly
licensed local preacher or minister of four years ,
gtarAlim,., whose character and standing are fair, for
every eight hundred lay members returned at the
previous Annual COnference.” A rule of the disci
pline requires the presence of two-thirds of the
abovematued members before an organization can
be effected. Some or the members claimed that the
law meant two-thirds of the members present, and
not two-thirds of those entitled to seats by the above
quoted rule.
After :mum debate, a temporary organization was
effected, and atter appointing Several committees
and announcing the appointments for the evening
meetings in the several churches Of the city, the
conference adjourned till 9 o'clock this morning.

Under authority of the Orphans' Court for the County
of Bucks and State of Pennsylvania,
WILL BE SOLD AT PUBLIC SALE,
on the premises, on
TUESDAY, MAY 3n, 1864, AT 2 O'CLOCK P. M.,
the following - described Real Estate: - -
This valuable Estate is situate at Bristol, Bucks coun
ty, Pennsylvania,CM the line of the Philadelphia,
. Tren
ton and .N 6.20 -York Railroad, and has a large FRONT
ON BATH STREET, which may be divided into desira
ble COTTAGE LOTS. The improvements are all that
are requisite for a SUMMER RESORT, and consist of a
FOUR-STORY FRAME HOUSE, UPWARDS OF ONE
HUNDRED FEET LONG,
with a capacious wing attached; au extensive piazza
extends along the whole front; a
DINING-ROOM 24 by 73 FEET,
office, wine-room, five ehambers,and two parlors are on
the first - door; kitchen below stairs. Two stair-cases,
leading from the main halls, extend to the upper floors,
which are divided into
FIFTY OR MORE PLEASANT SLEEPING ROOMS.
' Several Spring Houses for drinking and bathing pur
poses. -
A TEN-PIN ALLEY,
with balls and Pins complete.
Ice House capable df bolding several hundred tons of
ice, which can be obtained With great facility upon the
premises.
Carriage Houses, Stables. Barn, and other necessary
outhouses.
A handsome Lawn. studded with
GRAND OLD PINE TREES,
many of them toweriny, to the height of nearly 100 feet,
faces the house, while in the rear is an extensive garden
containing the greatest variety of fruit and flowers, im
ported and planted by the late owner.
THE FARM HAS G ACRES OF LAND,
of the finest quality and in a high state of cultivation,
having all been covered with lime and other fertilizers
within the past year.
But the chief attraction and matter ofgreat value ho
to be found iu the MEDICINAL QUALITY OF THE
SPRINGS, for drinking and bathing, which abound
upon this property.. They have been the
RESORT OF INVALIDS AND OTHERS FOR ONE
HUNDRED YEARS PAST, -
and possess a value not surpassed, if equalled, in this
or any country, facts which are attested by Dunlap Sr
Claypole's Daily Advertiser, of August lit,
17A4, which says: •
"The medicinal qualities cannot be explained in a
newspaper; any person desirous of information ou this
subject is referred to Dr. Rush's experiments and ob
servations read June IS, 1773, before the American Phi
losophical Society, held at Philadelphia; and experi
ments and cases published in the first volume of the
'Philosophical Transactions of Philadelphia,' by Dr,
John A. De Normandie, formerly one of the proprietors
of these baths."
•• • •
And further, by analysis made by the eminent chemist,
nu. F. A. DE.STIE,
in May, 1852, as follows, viz: " The quantitative analy
sis shows that one pound (17,(0) grains) of water con
tains:
Phosphate - of Iron 0.1451 grains,
Bicarbonate of Iron 0,2741 do,
Bicarbonate of 312.gailese 0 ONS do.

with: this water, in regard to the proportions of iron

"The constituents or this water, which are of great
value as medicines, are Iron,Phomphoric Acid,Carbonic
Acid, besides Potash, Soda, and Lime. The Iron is im
portant, both as an astringent and tollie; astringent
especially in passive litemorrgage,Colliquative Sweats,
Diabetes, Chronic Mucous Catarrh, Lencerrlara: and as
a tonic it is used with the greatest advantage in dyspep
tic affections, Anaemia, Chlorosis,sfor it is absolutely
necessary to form the blood corpuscles; or, in other
words, it is a main constituent of blood. -
"A part of the Iron is combined with Phosphoric
Acid, which still further enhances the value of this
mineral rater.' . . . . .
. .
Its proximity to the cities of PHILADELPHIA (within
twenty miles,) HEW YORK (within sixty-five miles),
and TRENTON (within ten miles), and its easy access
by Railroad and Steamboat (being less than one-fourth
or a mile front the Railroad Station, and but one-half
mile from the Steamboat Lauding), considered with its
Beauty, its 'Mineral Springs, and Other advantages,
make it one of the
:MOST DESIRABLE PROPERTIES OF THE KIND
EVER OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC,
