..oe'late Sirs. John Hickman,
of West Chester. -
at West Chester, there was- mftoh
t'eral and sorrow, deep in the hearts
the inhabitants, Vend f observable not only in
leir awed countenances, hut m their hushed ami
ihdned aeeents. Nor sorrow alone— though the
iparted Mrs. Uicklus had endeared herself to
by the most .amiahle disposition, gentle man*
rs, 'aotions ; hot. sorrow aloge for
- who is but gone before,’* but deepest
id truest sympathy, for her noble-minded bus
«d, who has lost a pdrtneVwha.was indeed " a
lpmate meet unto him,” and for her interesting
smlly, whom the death-stroke has deprived of a
endec-mother hud; a loving friend. The loss,
which, ha darkened the homo of whioh she wee
the living light, has fallen , heavily «« the whole
social circle which she adorned- In every relation
of life she wasbelored. but us a Christian gentle
woman, the daily hsauty of whoso lifo it was de
lightful looontemptate, her example cannot easily
ba forgotten.. ,
, During tho forenoon numoroua persons visited
hfr. HrojotSK’a house, in day atreot, and passed
on, silently and sadly, lnt» the apartment where
the mortal remains or tho deceased lay. They
ieemed to Snd a mournfal satisfaction in taking
aiast'vlew’of her whorn'llving they,had loved,
and Whom dead they lamented. A few minutes
before 2 P. M. the slow and aad tolling of tho
pauinji heU'oommenoed. , Immediately after, the
coffin wasiemoved iato tho Church of tho Holy
Trinity, (all of, whioh waa immediately occupied,)
followed by Mr. Hicxvix and his bereaved family,
and by numerous relatives and friends—of tho
latter 5 , many had come from a considerable die
tanoe. - . .<
The Church, which was that In whioh the la
mented lady-worshipped, was crowded, ohlefly
with, West Oheiterani, the. mqjori'y consisting of
females, ainopg whom wenotloed many members
of-the Boelety of Friends The funeral «ervloe—
the Impressive and solemn service In the liturgy
of the Protestant Episcopal Church—was road by
the Rev. Mri Nbwton, after which he delivered
an extempore &ddress, pf some length, upon the
personal character of the deceased, and the lesson
whlohnil rmight the sadden bereave
ment With" which It had pleased the Almighty to
affllot her family and frfendc. He was much
affected daring the delivery of th!e address, par
ticularly when referring to the Jate Mrs. Hick
man's relation to the Choroh, a* one of bis own
congregation. After this .address the ohoirgave
u "Vital spark of heavenly flame, •* with very effec
tive earnestness. The federal servloe oonoluded
with an appropriate prayer. '
Precisely at 3 o’oloek took place the removal of
the coffin from the Church to the hearse. Itwaa
a touching speotsole to behold the bereaved wi
dower and-the orphaned children accompany it.
Many persons were weeping and sobbing audibly
when they beheld Mr. HickmAn, almost borne
down by great grief, yet manfally endeavoring
not to yield to it la public.' And sadder still was
it to behold the dear children, some of them so
young as to bo almost unable to comprehend tholr
great deprivation, following the last mortal re
mains Of their tender and loving mother. Wo saw
strong men,' silently looking on, with the tears un
consciously rolllngdown their obeeks. And it really
seemed, so general wot the feeling, as if every
one of the crowd assembled, In and out of the
Church, had lost not merely the wife of a respect
ed, and distinguished, and much honored towns
man, but they mourned almost as if she belonged
to their own hearths, .
As largo a concourse as evsr assembled in West
Chester, oh an occasion so sad, formed the funeral
cortege to Oakland Cemetery. Many hundreds
were present, and, on that day, most certainly,
the differences of opinion whioh politically agitate
Chester county* were stilled In the universal
heart of the Inhabitants.»We have rarely seen
public feeling so mournfully, silently, and respect
fully manifested. It seemed as If every, Instead
of a titiglt household bad the threshold shadowed

The Election in California—How it was
Carried by the Administration*
The Stookton Democrat , in alluding to the late
election In California, says: “ The Buchananites
dodge abohfc wonderfully. They now olaimth&t
they have gained a glorious victory. Gloriens,
indeed! when they dared not avow their princi
ples before the people, but orerywhere declared
that they believed Broderick and MoKibbln
were right in voting against tbe -Leoompton Con
stitution. This they did indirectly by their news
papers, and their pnblio speakers, all deolaring
themselves In favor of popular sovereignty, ana
that Buchanan did not new differ with Dongles upon
this principle They deolared upon tho stump that
they loved Douglas, and that they would cheer
fully and gladly vote for him for the next Presi
dency. Now, however, having hoodwinked and
deceived tho people out of their votes, they fear
no longor the ballot-box, as its power for tho pre
sent has passed by, and they come out of their
hiding places and loudly proolaim that the people
arc opposed to popular sovereignty and are in
favor or forofng the Lecompton Constitution upon
the people of Kansas, first through the power of
Congress, and, when that failed, through means of
a threat aad tbe offer of a bribe as contained in
the English bill. They did not dare speak their
thoughts boldly until after theeleotion, when they
deemed themselves safe beyond tho power of the
people.
[From the New Tork Times.J
Our poor friend Glanoy Jones has onr siooerest
sympathy in his present unfortunate condition. To
bo rejected at all is bad enough, but to be rojeotod
after dining so often at tbo white Home, and so
oloso to the President's home, is worse still. We
know what a high value Glanoy set upon an invi
tation to Mr. Bueb&nan’s table,.from the fact that
beasoribedan anti-Administration vote given in
the House last winter to the member’s chagrin at
not being asked to dine at the Presidential board.
The nature of this argument proved so clearly the
extent of Mri.Jones’s powers, and his great readi
ness and versatility, as well as the thoroughly gen
tlemanly tone of his mind, that we feel that his
defeat has deprived the House of one of its bright
: eat ornaments.

Considerable dlfficultywas experleaoet In effrotlng
an orgaoisat’on. Mr. James Clifton, of the Eleventh
ward, was nominated for president Mr. Llovd moved
to amend by substituting Morris P. Parker, of the Ninth
ward. Upon taking a vote, this motion wss apparently
agreed to.
Mr. Parkor then took the chair, bnt some dlssatls
faction being expressed, he said he did not desire to aot
as president against the wish of the majority of the
judges. The yeas and nays were called, and Mr. Parker
wss elected by a mte of 14 to 7.
.Messrs. 8 L Kinney, George H. Moore, JohhM.
Riley and Mr Erripkson were nominated for .clerk?.
Upon a rote being taken, Messrs. John 31 Riley end
George H. Moore were eleoted. Messrs John Barton
and William B-aokburn were nominated for messenger.
The former was chosen. Alderman James B. Freeman
wss then sent for and administered the oath to the
officers. ■
The reading of the returns for Sheriff was then pro
ceeded with as far as the Pourth watd, when— 1
Mr. S Lloyd moved that the return be thrown out on I
the ground that it is not what it purperts to be—a gen
eral return of votee for Sheriff And other < Ulcers He
had evidence to prove that the return was not a truo 1
one, but was fraudulent and false, In the E’ghth divi
sion.- He produced an affidavit sworn to by Messrs. |
George P. Pioney and Thomas Thoroley, the watchers
appointed by the Court. It sets forth that the officers
of tbs election were all Democrats; that they refused
to recognise any challenges; that they rafu fl ed to
qualify persons whose names are not upon tho Asses
sore’ list; that no'qu»4Ubua were aiked as regards
the residence of the voter, or the payment of taxes;
that no naturallaatlon papers were required, exoepflu
three cMes. ;and unnaturallftd persons were permitted,
to vote in defiance of the challenges of qualified dll'.
*9°* I that the rolls were kept open after eight
o’clock P; M., and four votes were received after in »t
tlmo; that one Henderson voted six times, one Carr
voted four times, and James Norris, of Baltimore,,
voted four times, using a different name each time.;;
that the votes of several non-residents were taken.; I
and that, in counting the votes, the ballots for Neblnger:
.were counted for Florence, and those for McDonough'
counted for McClain. The affidavit was sworn to bo- I
fore. Alderman Swift. !
.Here several gentlenjen irose, and contended that
the whole matter ”*aa out of order. The president said
Mr. Llo'd had the floor, and should be heard. Mr.
Lloyd therefore continued He said that the returns
had been sent to impose upon the judges and the com
munity. Ho produced another affidavit, signed by John
M. Butl°r, stating that he had challenged several per
sons, and no regard had been paid him. -
Mr. Christy insisted that the Court of Quarter, See-'
alona wm the proper tribunal to bring this matter be
fore. The judges had nothing to do but to receive the
have previously been sworn to as true.
The president said that he was not aware that ho was
to be called upon to preside, or, he should have been
better posted. He then read the election law, and de
clded the matter out of order.
, Mr. Lloyd appealed from the decision of the chair, I
and was sustained by a vote of 11 yeas to 12 nays. Mr. I
L remarked that he had several affidavits, but wou'd I
notread them. Nine votes had been returned for Mr. I
Neblnger, and nineteen citisens had swoffc that they
voted for him, and had examined their tickets.
Mr. Christy contended that they coaid not go behind
the records. This coutse was unprecedented.
Mr. Clifton moved that one or the judges of the
court be requested to attend and decide the question—l
“Whether, if the Return Judge* have sufficient evi
dence that the return of any precinct is not true, they
have a right to reject suoh return?” '
The motion was agreed to, and the messenger was
despatched after Judge Thompson, and in the meantime
the readlng of the returns was continued.
After the Sheriff had been catledcff, Colonel Thoms* I
D. Florence entered the room, and asked permission to
make a statement. He said he wished to be present by
counsel. In ease an attempt wa* made to throw out tho

Lecture before the Class of tub Ecleo
tio Colluqb. —The operiog lectors before the olsss of
medical students, in attendance upon, the Eclectic Col-,
riege', at Sixth and Callo'whiU streets, was made by D,
II Hol'omback, yesterday, at ten o’clock. The lectu
rer dwelt. In the opening passages, on the difficulties
acd perplexities attendant upon the acquisition of that
knowledge of their profession which the ©lass sought,;
by attendance upon tne.course of lectures given by the .
institution, and the importance which would attach to
them in their future careers, , Agraphic picture was'
drawn of the progress ofescieu"*, and tne liberal senti- ■
moot which gradually succeeded the dark fuper ; tltion
of former ages, with' the influence which was thereby
oxorciaedupon the profession of medicine, and the aid
which in oivillzsttou and science extended
to tho medical atu 'ent. - Among the most prominent of
these aids was instanced the discovery, and progress to*
wards perfection, of the art of printing; and miny ludi
crous quotations were made from ancient dispensatories
illustrative of the superstitious-and absurdities which
attached to tho early practice of medicino. The prin
cipal tim of the lecturer was to establish the superiority
of the modern schools of med'clne over tire old; and
although he paid to the allopathic school the meed of
praise due It for the many discoveries it has gUen to
the wotld, and the progress it has made toward liberal?
ism, the destructive agencies employed by that school
were set off, in most unfavorable contrast with the im
provements whlcfr bad.been introduced by the Eclectic
school: The lecturer'spokeof the duties and hardships
of the practitioner of mediolne, and clMsetwith him
the printer, as two.whose labors were most lightly and
grudgingly repaid, and whose b*nefita to mankind were
most thankless, and last to be'acknowledged. The
lecturer dosed with most wholesome advice to the
class, as to the course of life which should be pursued
by them, the duties necessary, and the vices and ex
cesses to be sbnnned.
The institution commences operations with over forty
matriculates, and the number is confidently anticipated
to- exceed one hundred, which Is an increase over former
years
Non-Explosive Burning Fluid.—By an
advertisement in to day’ B paper it will bo seen that
there are to be no more explosions, and that the ase of
burning fluid “is safe at last ” Messrs. Yaroall & Og
don,Ni 472 North Third street; having made arrange
ments with, Prof. Greenough, of Boston (tho original
inventor of burning fluid and CAmphene) for the exoln
‘sire right to the manufacture and sate of the non-ex
plosive fluid and camphene in Philadelphia, have en
gaged in the manufacture of the non-explosive burning
fluid and camphene, and are prepared to furnish the
same to tho public.
We have fully tested its morlts, in ihe presence of
many oiilr.ens. and all prononneo It of the utmost im
portance to every family as a safe and brilliant light!
It is us-d in the same lamps as the common fluid, end,
although rather more expensive in the manufacture,
will be sold at a very slight advance over cost. . . ..
This fluid, although' not explosive, is ; inflammable j
therefore it behooves persons using it In proximity to
lire nottoncset their lamp or can.
We shall give, hereafter, a more explicit statement
of its superiority over ordinary burning fluid.
Another Parade.—Tho “Independent Or
der of Cadets of Honor and Temperance” is making

tinns of the city quite perfect; The eittsens of the up

To what Base Uses may we come at Last I
—We notice, among the new invention* of tbe sge, that
small slates, suitable for children, are now framed with <
cane, the material used being (probably) the worn-out
or broken hoops used by ladies In their skirts. Tho
idoa i«, at all events, a good one, as hoops make a most
excellent, neat, and substantial frame. When our fair
friends are done wearing their cane hoops, they can
band them brer for the ose of their little fo'ks.with
which to hoop their slates.

Railway —The woik on this road Is steadily progress
ing, and we learn it is the intention of the company to

day morning,; In the Supreme Court room, were {de
posed to excliidb anumber of divisions in the Fourth,

muoh discussion, it was propoied that the opinion of the '
J9nges of the Court of Common Pleas should be;ob-.
a® to the supervisory powers of the Board of

CITY ITEMS.
A Noted Establishment.—-In passing by
the corner r f Second and Bock streets, a few days ago.
our attention wasnailed to the elegant new eatibllsh
mentof Messrs. E, S. Parson & Go.,at that locality.
We were qiite unprepared to find *ln that’ vicinity a
Housekeeper's Furnishing Btore equal in extent'to the
finest establishments in that line anywhere in this city.
;This house will, however, prove of great convenience
to a large number of our citizens who have nearer ac
• csss to, that point than to similar stores situated farther
westward, and from the great, variety of its stock
:wjb abould not be surprised to And It receiving a liberal;■
, patronage from the most remote sections, especially
since, by the vatious railroad lines, th.s point
pay be reached by housekeepers from the outer wards
with as much facility as any other. It would, of .coarse,
be impossible to convey any just Idea of the character
of this varied stock; but with one feature we were
particularly pleased—vls.; that.the greatest possible
pains have been taken to present to ibe public all the
modern improvements in the department of housekeep
ing goods. This fact, In connection with, the pollto
and efficient attendantsemployed by Mr. Parson, can
pot butrender his place a point of general attraction.
In paaslcg through the superb collection of useful artl*
pies, our only regret was that ire hid hot room enough
in our cozy domicil for all the tempting: housekeeping
conveniences exhibited to us; each as we thought it
prudent (for us) to indulge in we bought, and bought
cheap, and in their nee since, we baTo.the most un
questionable authority for stating that they give entire
satisfaction.
New Bonnets.—Those who lly© And retain the
use of their eyes until to-morrow, and place them-'
spires in good position for observing such things, will
probably have the' pleasure of seeing a very practical
iUuatratiea.of the good taste our Philadelphia ladies
evince ,ia. the soleotion of their.. new bonnets.'. .Very
much of that pleaaine array of millinery loveHneaaia
yet unpurchased, and to-day, therefore, will be largely
derotsd to that purpose. In view of this, we will place
our fair refers under renewed obligations (which they
will be good enough to ■ discharge by' following
ode advice) by Informing them that the' finest and
most extensive display of fashionable millinery in this
city is at the popular establishment of Messrs Llqcoln,
Wool, & Nichols, Ne. 45Sm(h6rcond street.
% Eelig;op4 —By ah • advertisement in anothor
column, (which see,) It.wlllbeseen that Revs Hibson
andMcOlure’will preach again in.pur c’ty to-morrow.
These ■aiatlogalshed brethren from abroad (Ireland)
preached eloquent sennoss in two of our churches on
last Babbaih, and the .announcement of their holding
forth to-morrow will ddnbtleM attract overflowing con
gregations to.hear them again. ’ : v
A Great"Stovb-'Housb".—ih passing along Se
cond atreet lncidentally dropped In to see
our well-preserved friend at. the extensive
bouse of North, Ohue, & North, founders and stove
manufacturers, and were surprised to find.that their
stock of stores (whieh, by the way, they are Jarfc now
turning out at a whizzing rate) presented about as great
a variety of patterns u the dress gords on Ib*> cnn-*» r
of a fashionable dry-goods store.. It Is imposes logo
into this house amiss for any thing In the stove Hue—
from aneedljtoananchor!
/ A Stove'for the TiMßsi—ln nothing do oar
people act oat more clearly the dla+isgaishiog charac
teristic of our nationality than In the promptness with
which any new monejf’saving Invention is seized upon
by the masses. It is precisely for this reason that the
celebrated Stove, to which we called attention a few
days ago-sold by Mr. J. S. Clark, No. 1008 Market
street—is pairing Into geoeral u»e so rapidly that It Is
with difficult? the supply can be manufactured fast
enotigh to meet the demand. , The itove Is Cilrer’s in.
veution, with Mr. Clark’s own Improvements, Mr.
dark, No. 1008 Mirket street, Is the owner of both the
invention and the improvement, and hie place should be
visited by all who are In want of stoves.
A Seasonable Hint.—There is nothing more
oommon than when Sunday comes for gentlemen to
find that there is a sorew .loose Jn their wardrobe; In
other words, that they neglected to purchase either
a collar, cravat, stock, suspenders, an undershirt, a
pair of drawers,* box of hose,* pair of gloves, or
somothiog else Iti that line, on Saturday evening; all
of which might have been obviated by calling at the
model gent’s famishing store.of Messrs.' B. O.Walborn
A Co., (now) Nos. 6 and 7 North Sixth street.
Going it with a Rush;—We felt it
several occasions to Inform the public that the, beet
place In town-to l obtain pure confectionery, was at E.
G. Whitman 6c Go ’s, Second Btreot, below Chestnut;
and so effective has been our advice that on a recent
occasion, in passing their store, we halted to ascertain
the cause of the throng of human beings we saw inside.
We have sines learaed that the crowd has become
chronic—that their place is always full of customers.
Cause-they make the finest confectionery manufac
tured, are polite to easterners, and sell reasonable;’
Phrbnologv.—A pleasant and profitable way
of spending on evening, for a gentleman who has chil
dren, is to engage a skilful phrenologist, and to submit
their cerebral developments to a scientific examination.
Mr. Capon, of the firm of Fowler, Wells A 00., at No.

Singular Phenomenon.—About twelve o'clock
last night a luminous cloud of considerable size wa®
observed to rise in the northeast, and gradually pass
over the city. It wjre every appeananco of having
erchnated from a conflagration. The bells of tbe city,
did not rinr, but several eogine companies came out;
The oloud vanished in the southwest, leaving a halo, in
whioh we could dearly discern the well-known admoni
