The Hall of Independence, on Chestnut street, between Fifth and Sixth, was commenced in 1729, and completed in 1734, having been designed for the use of the Provincial Assemblies; and the long hall formerly in the upper story was often used for grand official banquets. given to Governors, distinguished strangers and generals, and to the members of the First Congress when they arrived in 1774. It was originally decorated with a stately steeple, which w£S taken down in 1774 on account of decay ; only a small belfry was left to cover the bell until the year 1 828, when the present steeple was erected as nearly like the ancient one as circumstances would permit. The ancient bell, formerly used for the clock, is remarkable for its prophetic inscription. Originally imported from England, in 1752, but cracked in its first ringing, it was recast in Philadelphia, and the inscription — " Proclaim Lib erty throughout the land, and to all the people thereof," — was placed upon it. This was more than twenty years before the independence of the Colonies was dreamed of; yet, when the Declaration was signed, this very bell was the first, by its merry peal, to "proclaim liberty throughout the land." It now occupies a place in the south vestibule of the building. — The Declaration of Independence was signed in the chamber on the left of the principal entrance. Some years since the antique architectural decorations and furniture of this room were removed, and their places supplied with new furniture and tapestry in modern style. This error has since been repaired, as fair as possible, by restoring the Hall to its ancient appearance. The portraits of nearly every one of the signers now adorn the walls.

"&* 83- -88 Hotel Accommodations during the Exhibition. The capacity of all the Hotels has been increased to the greatest extent, besides which numerous New Hotels of large dimensions are being erected ; there is, therefore, no doubt that sufficient accommodations will be afforded all visitors to the City during the Centennial Year. Among the New Houses may be mentioned This Hotel is one of the mammoth structures of the Centennial. It is situated on the great Avenue and promenade direct to the Exhibition, and but a hundred yards from the Pennsylvania Railroad Centennial Depot. Its premises are 900 feet long, the Hotel proper having a front of 540 feet on Belmont Avenue with a depth of 240 feet. All of its thousand rooms are open to light and air, have outlooks on the busy thoroughfare of the Exhibition, or on inner lawns and gardens. Its Dining Halls are spacious, and will accommodate about 2,000 guests at a sitting. Special pre cautions have been adapted against fire, five great iron tanks being located at the highest points of the building, and a special brigade of thirty members having charge of the complete fire apparatus which is to be kept in instant readiness day and night. The charges at this Hotel are to be such as are now paid for first-class board and no more. PRINCIPAL HOTELS IN PHILADELPHIA. American Chestnut above 5th. Allegheny 814 Market.

The chamber on the right of the principal entrance to Independence Hall has been thoroughly renovated and repaired, and now contains the nucleus of a National Museum intended to occupy all the rooms of this building and the connecting wings. The chamber itself was formerly the Judicial Hall of the Colony of Pennsylvania, in which the sessions of the Supreme Court were held. Receptacle cases are already partially filled with relics and memorials of distinguished men of the period from 1682 to 1787, and with pamphlets, wearing apparel, newspapers, and everything illustrative of the daily life in America during the same period, while appropriate platforms are reserved to display furniture once in use by the patriots of that day. On the walls are displayed authentic portraits (originals or copies) of royal person ages, generals, statesmen, and others connected with the early history of the country. Uniforms of the different arms of the service during the Revolution have been re cently deposited, and frequent additions are made of pictures, autographs, and other articles that contribute to make the National Museum one of the most interesting places of resort in the city. Open, in fair weather, from 10 A. M. to I P. M. HALL OF CONGRESS. At the south-east corner of Sixth and Chestnut streets is located another impor tant and interesting relic of the past. " In this building sat the first Senate and the first House of Representatives of the United States of America. Herein George Washington was inaugurated President, March 4th, 1793, and closed his official career, when herein also John Adams was inaugurated the second President, March 4th, 1797." — Marble tablet 071 east wall of the building. FIRST PAPER MILL IN AMERICA. The first paper mill in America of which there is any account was built by Wm. Rittinghuysen, a native of Broich, in Holland. In the year 1690 he, in company with Wm. Bradford, the printer, established a paper mill in Roxborough, near Phila delphia, on a stream called Paper Mill Run, which empties into the Wissahickon about two miles above its junction with the Schuylkill river. The paper was made from linen rags, the product of flax which was raised in the vicinity and made into wearing apparel. In 1699 William Bradford leased his fourth part of the mill to William and Nicholas Rittinghuysen (now spelled Rittenhouse) for a term of ten years, upon the following terms : That ihey should pay "ye full quantitee of seven ream of printing paper, two ream of good writing paper, and two ream of blue paper yearly." The second mill in America was built at Germantown (now a part of Philadel phia), by William DeWees, a son-in-law of Rittinghuysen, in the year 17 10. -*r *6- 12th Month.] DECEMBER, 1876.
