They Feel the Pressure. — As the result of much indignant pro- 

 test, the Western Passeng-er Association has changed the rule re- 

 garding the number of passengers requisite for securing one and 

 one-third fare. The last rule placed the number at 250, and when the 

 teachers met here there was much disgust when it was found that 

 the number fell short of 250 patronizing "Western Association roads. 

 Many of the teachers had to pay full fare for the round trip. The 

 horticulturists had the same experience, and the protests of these 

 two bodies were taken up by the board of trade and the business 

 union. The consequence is the number has been reduced to 100. —

The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society has concluded to 

 rebuild Horticultural Hall, which was burnt down about a year ago. 

 At the last meeting of the Society a resolution was adopted in 

 favour of rebuilding the hall on the former site. 



The money for the purpose of rebuilding will be raised among 

 the members of the horticultural society, which includes in its rolls 

 some of the wealthiest men in Philadelphia. 



About $30,000 has already been subscribed for the purpose, The 

 Florists' Club have expressed their willingness to contribute $1,000. 



It is proposed to put up a building, which will be an ornament to 

 Broad street.— Tiie Florists' Exchange. 



(Is there a hint here for us? — Sec'y).
