MISCE LLANY
PROJECTED PALATIAL HOTEL rs NEW
YORK.-The great Central Park Hotel,
?o Vie erected by Hiram Cranston, of
New York, at the corner of Fiith
avenue and Fifty-ninth street, will no
doubt eclipse anything of the kind in
this or any other country. The
ground \vil? be broken next Spring,
and it is supposed that two or three
years will be required for its comple?
tion. A number of capitalists are in?
terested in it, and whatever taste can
devise and money can purchase will
be lavished upon the new house. It
is to be half as large again and thrice
as elegant as the Fifth Avenue ; is to
be built of white marble, and to con?
tain over five hundred rooms, all of
which are to be furbished in a style
of magnificence hitherto unknown
even in this extravagant country.
A number of modern improvements
are to be introduced, among them
private breakfast and dining rooms,
suites of apartments for families,
where they can live with entire priva,
cy; baths of the Oriental and Koman
sort, where luxury is to be exhausted
in designs and appliances. In addition
to this,|the guests are to be favored
with hot-houses, fountains and a de?
lightful garden in the centre of the
x, "-v,i"i, it AI-- i -

be carried out, will be splendid and
elegant at the same time, and be a
miracle of luxury and art. Of course
it will be a good investment. If it
were ten times as large and expensive
as it will prove, it would put gold in
the purses of its builders and pro?
prietors, and augment the passion of
the traveling publio for reckless ex?
penditure.

REMARKABLE CASE OF TRANCE.-On
Tuesday night, Mr. Crowder, a young
gentleman residing on High street,
died, to all appearances. The corpse
was laid out, and the grief and lamen-1
tation was such as is usual in such
cases. His brother was to have been
married last night, but all preparation
for the happy event was stopped by
this sadand solemn one. On yester?
day morning, tho supposed dead man
got up and dressed himself, and is
now enjoying as much validity as could
be expected of a corpse. The mar?
riage came off last night, and we sup?
pose "the resurrected" attended.

self and the public. I am happv to verify
thc old adage, that "Ifs an ill* wind that
blows nobody good." and, conseouentlv,
congratulate you that your well * known
safes have again demonstrated their supe?
rior fire-proof qualities in an ordeal of un?
usual severity.
The safe you made for nie some time
ago was in the ofliee of C?e Museum, on
'he second floor, back par- of the building,
and in the hottest of thc i r.
After twenty-four hon.< ; .rial, it was
found among the debris, and on opening
it this dav has yielded up its contents in
very good order-books, papers, policies of
insurance, bank bills, all in condition for
immediate use, and a noble commentary
on the trustworthiness of Herring s Fire
Proof Safe. Yours trulv,

Te the Citizens of South Carolina.
The termination of a sanguinary contest,
which for the past four years has presented
an impassable barrier to all social or com
mercial intercourse between the two great
sections of our country, having at length
happily cleared away aU obstacles to & re?
noval of those relations which formerly
bound ns together in a fraternal union, I
lake the earliest opportunity afforded me
by this auspicious event, to greet my South?
ern friends, and to solicit from them a re?
newal of that extensive business connection
rhich for a quarter of a century has been
uninterrupted, save by the great public
calamity to which I have adverted.
It is scarcely necessary, on the threshold
of a business re-union. I should repeat the
warning so often given to my friends-to
beware of all those spurious and deleteri?
ous compounds which, under the specious
and false titles of Imported YVines, Bran?
dies, Holland Gin, Liquors, Ac, have been
equally destructive to the health of our
citizens as prejudicial to thc interests ol'
thc legitimate importer.
Many years of my past life have been
expended in an open and candid attempt to
expose these wholesale frauds; no time nor
expense has been spared to accomplish this
salutary purpose, and to place before my
friends and the public generally, at thc
lowest possible market price, and in such
quantities as might suit their convenience,
a truly genuine imported article.
Twenty-five years' business transactions
with the largest and most respectable ex?
porting houses in France and Great Britain
have afforded mc unsurpassed facilities for
supplying our homo market with Wines,
Liquors and Liqaeres of the best and mc!,
approved brands in Europa, in addition to
my own distillery in Holland for the manu?
facture of the ''Schiedam Schnapps."'
The latter, so long tested and approved
by the medical faculties of thc United
States, West Indies and South A:ucrica as
an invaluable Therapeutic, a wholesome,
pleasant and perfectly safe beverage in all
climates and during all seasons, quickly
excited thc cupidity of the home manufac?
turers and venders of a spurious article
under thc same name.
I trust that I have, after much tod and
expense, surrounded all my importations
with safeguards and directions which, with
ordinary circumspection, will insure their
delivery, as I receive them from Europe, to
all my customers.
I would, however, recommond, in all
cases where it is possible, that orders bc
sent direct to mv Depot, 22 Beaver street,
New York, or that purchases be made of
mv accredited agents.
In addition to a large stock of Wines,
Brandies, Sec, in wood, I have a consider?
able supply of ?ld tried foreign Wines, em?
bracing vintagos }f many past years, bot?
tled up before the commencement of the
war, which I can especially recommend to
aU connoisseurs of these rare luxnries.
In conclusion, I would specially call tho
attention of my Southern customers to the
advantage to be derived by transmitting
their orders without loss of "time, or calling
personally at the Depot, in order io insure
the fulfillment of their favors from thc pre?
sent large and well selected assortment.
