The hill was the placed in the corner stone;-together with the followfavorite promenade, in fine weather, and on Sunday af-ing memorandum or inscription:ternoon. It was so essential to the comfort and recreation of the inhabitants, that they could scarcely form an idea of a town, without its Grant's hill. There was a fine spring half-way to the summit, which was supposed to afford better water than that of the pumps; some even thought it possessed of medicinal properties, which might be the case, after an afternoon's walk, and the toil in overcoming the steep ascent. What a change in the appearance of Pittsburg since that day!-since the time, when I used to roll over and over on the smooth velvet side of Grant's Hill. Fugit interea, fugit irrevocabile tempus-Yes, that beautiful hill itself, which might have continued to enjoy a green old age, has been prematurely murdered, and cut to pieces by barbarous hands! The shallow pond at its base, where we used to make our first attempt at skating, has been wickedly, and wilfully filled up, and is now concealed by brick buildings; the croaking of the town frogs having given way to noisy men. What is passing strange, as if in mockery of nature, the summit of the hill is half covered by an enormous reservoir of water, thrown up there from the Allegheny by means of infernal machines, enough to frighten the ghosts of a thousand hills, while the remainder is occupied by a Cathedral church. What is still worse, the hill itself has been perforated through and through, and a stream has been compelled to flow there, at an expense and labor that would have deterred a Roman Emperor-streets have been cut in the side of the poor hill, as at Pompeii, in Italy, and perhaps, hereafter, houses will rise up along them, like those of the Cowgate, in Edinburgh, thirteen stories on one side, and a half a story on the other. It would fill a volume to enumerate the changes produced in a quarter of a century, in which comparatively short space of time, a small village has grown into a large city, possessing extensive capital, commerce, and manufactures." STAGING-NORTHERN ROUTE. We are gratified to state that the infatigable and able head of the Post Office department, Major Barry, has yielded to the wishes of the people, and made such an additional allowance to the enterprising mail contractors, Colder & Wilson, as to enable them to run through their fast line daily, from Philadelphia to Bellefonte. This daily line leaves Philadelphia in the morning, and arrives at Bellefonte early in the afternoon of the second day, affording an opportunity to the citizens of Bellefonte, and vicinity, to examine their correspon dence, and answer letters by the returning mail of next morning. The accommodation stage on the northern route, established particularly for the convenience and accommodation of those who do not wish to travel after night, leaves Lewistown at 7 o'clock in the morning for Harburg; and for the west at 5 o'clock. It is confidently expected that the present contractors for carrying the mail from Bellefonte to Erie will exert themselves to improve the staging on that route; which will add much to the reputation of that line, and cannot fail to increase travelling upon it.—Eagle. HOSPITAL FOR THE BLIND AND LAME. The corner stone of the "Hospital for the Blind and Lame" was laid on Monday last. The edifice is to be raised in pursuance of directions made in the last testament of JAMES WILLS, Esq. whose beneficent bequest for such an institution is well known. Erected by the Mayor, Aldermen and citizens of Philadelphia, under the direction of a Committee of the Select and Common Councils, composed of the following members, viz: John R. Neff, and Daniel Grover, William J. Duane, Joshua Lippincott, Of the Common Council. Joshua Andrews & Son-BRICKLAYERS. Benjamin W. Richards, being Mayor of the City. George Wolf, Governor of the State of Pennsylvania, and Andrew Jackson, President of the United States. This corner stone was laid on the 2d day of April, 1832, at 10 o'clock, A. M.” The following address by John Moss, Esq. of the Common Council, was made on the laying of the stone. The speaker did not overrate the blessings which will result from the institution. Time alone will develope the good which it will confer upon that unfortunate portion of the community, for the allevation of whose miseries it is especially designed. It may be the place where some opthalmic remedies may be discovered, or improv ed,- -or where some nice exposition of medical science may arise of incalculable benefit: "GENTLEMEN:-We have assembled here this day to lay the corner stone of an edifice destined for the Asylum for the indigent Blind and Lame. We are indebted to the benevolence of the late JAMES WILLS for this shelter from the storm, and quiet retreat for those, who are shut out from the light of heaven; and to whom even the earth has denied a pleasant habitation. So quiet and unobtrusive were the habits of the founder of this institution, that he was almost unknown to his fellow citizens, but in the way of private charities; here his heart and his purse always expanded to the crying of the poor, and the sighing of the needy, and the true objects of charity never went empty away. In the year one thousand eight hundred and twentyfive, he entered upon that glorious reversion held in reserve for all good men; and given to them in perpetuity. And although during his life he was but little known, in ages yet to come, many a blessing shall fall from tottering frames, and faltering lips, for his godlike gifts; and at his name, eyes, though they cannot see, shall weep for gratitude, and wounded hearts shall leap for joy. Now may that Great Being who overthrows all human greatness, and treads to dust the proudest workmanship of his hand, condescend to bless this worksoothe every care, and cause the children of sorrow here to forget their woes, and the aching restless head, here to repose in peace.”—Phil.
