immense quantity of these wintry blooms allure a
great number of purchasers. To little folks, they
suggest a vision of a bettu-idenl Christmas tree, illu

myriad-tinted lamps. They arc suggestive of "good

pleasantries of riddles, conjuring, snap-dragon,

are remnants of Druidical practices. Sylvan spirits
used to think its boughs would protect them from
the fingers of the frost. The mistletoe, beautiful in
its nature as in its name, in its history and array
of legendary song; the ivy, the laurel, and the rose

TILE CASE . OF THOMAS S. DUFFIELD—
LNVOITrOATIOIN OP TILE 003CMITTHE OF (korxcir.s.
—lt will be remembered that, on Thursday last,
Common Council adopted a resolution referring to
a special committee of live members the papers and
documents upon which that body, on the previous
week, declared vacant the seat of Mr. Thomas J.
burnout, a member from the Eighteenth ward. The
resolution authorizes the appearance of Mr. Duffield
at the investigation, either by counsel or otherwise.
The committee have held two meetings, at which
a large number of witnesses have been present. Mr.
David Sellers, at the opening of the investigation,
rend a protest against the action of the committee,
and also an affidavit of Mr. Duffield in reference to
the case.
The first witness examined was Thomas J. Tim
mins, who, being sworn, testified as follows: I have
known Mr. Duffield ten or eleven months ; was em
ployed at the U. S. Arsenal until the latter part of
October; I always respected Mr. Duffield as the su
perintendent of the arsenal yard ; he was always re
cognized as such by every employee ; knew him as
such three weeks ago ; when I wantedhands to work
for me I always applied to him; Mr. Alligood, mili
tary storekeeper, appointed Mr. Duffield ; Mr. Atli
good was appointed by the Secretary of War ; he re
ceived his pay monthly; do not know that he re
ceived it from paymaster Gibson ; when I left the
arsenal there appeared to be a conflict of authority
between Col. Crosman and Capt. Martin, out to who
had Jurisdiction over Duffield.
John Donegan sworn.—l know Mr. Duffield; he
was the general superintendent of arsenal; do not
know his salary; heard from the cloc' that it was
$l,OOO per annum; when I was first employed at the
arsenal, I waited upon Capt. Alligood as to my du
ties, and he referred me to Mr. Duffield, who at once
employed me; Mr. Duffield was always looked upon
AB the second in command about the yard; he never
assisted in loading or unloading goods to my know
ledge; I heard him on one occasion say to the boss
painter that he did not wish to Interfere with his de
partment; witness presented a note signe d " Thos.
J. Duffield, general superintendent, &c.; Mr. Duf
field never performed laborer's work; the laborer
gets $1.26 per diem.
Edmund Barr sworn.—l know Mr. Duffield only
by Introduction; lie signed his name to bills as gene
ral superintendent; I am not now employed at the
arsenal; do not know who instructed, him to sell
goods.
Lieut. 001. Crosman sworn.—l am Deputy Quar
termaster, U. S. A., having In charge the arsenal on
Gray's Ferry Road ; Mr. Du ffi eld is employed as la
borer on the li st of laborers, with the title of super
intendent ; his salary is $83.33 per month ; he is under
Me direction and control afCa pt. Martin; he holds no com
mission, but only an appointment from me; on thtpay
roll, he is the same as 111 r. Irvin, one of the irlfipec
tors, but on a different abstract.

A. Yea.
Q. Do you know of Mr. Duffield ever having dis
charged any one.
A. No.
Captain Martin sworn.—l am the commissioned
military storekeeper at the Gray's Ferry Arsenal.
Mr. Duffield is superintendent of the laborers in the
yard. I increased his pay myself. He ts directly un
der my control, and 7101 under Mat of the department at
Washington; his office was created by necessity, and
not by Act of Congress.
On cross-examination, the witness said that Mr.
Duffield was recognized at Washington as the general
superintendent of the yard. He has the right to sign
my name to bills ; he has no right to discharge men,
or take them on, without my sanction; at times I di
rect him to employ men.
Andrew McGrath, sworn.—l know Mr. Duffield;
when at the arsenal I always looked upon him as

not.
Bernard M. Toole was also examined, but his evi

James Sheerer sworn.-1 was employed at the
arsenal, and always recognized Mr. Duffield as Irene.
rat superintendent; he employed me last July; 1 was
discharged at the end of the month; I went to Capt.
Martin to ask the reason therefor, and he sent me
back with a note to Mr. Duffield, who employed rue
again; at the end of the month I was again dis
charged by him; Mr. Duffield employs two clerks
and a tneseenger in his office.
Here the evidence was concluded for the present.
The committee, it is thought, will not be ready to
report on the ease nt the meeting of Councils this
afternoon.
As the evidence now stands, nothing less than a
report decidedly in favor of 'Mr. Duffield can be
made. The following statement will show the posi
tions of the various officials at the Schuylkill Arse
nal, and how they were appointed
About June last, Col. Crosinan, Deputy Quarter
master General U. S. A., in command of the depart
ment of Army clothing, camp, and garrison equipage,
in this city, directed a reduction to be made of the
clerical and other forces employed at the Schuylkill
Arsenal, and its branches, at Chestnut and Twenty
fourth streets, Twenty-third and Filbert streets, and
Twenty-first and Spruce streets. He also took steps
to vacate the premises at Twenty-third and Filbert,
and Twenty-first and Spruce streets, in order to
lessen the expenses of the Government; he believ
ing there was no nt eessity for such a large force of
employees, end the renting of buildings outside of
the arsenal. In discharging some of the clerks,
Col. Crosman retained those whom he deemed best
qualified and most watchful for the interest of the
Clovernment, (there having been a great necessity
for a change And a reform, in this respect at the
arsenal). He, therefore, regulated the positions of
those retained, as follows:
W.J.J. Pollock, chief clerk ; Jos. S. Paul, audit
ing clerk ; Joseph Cooper, bill clerk; George R. Sc-.
wage, issue clerk; Theo. Albright, abstract clerk
(attached to auditing clank) ; Benjamin Mifflin, let
ter clerk and Messrs. Work and Rockefeller, in
voice clerks ; Edward Hutch, principal receiver; W.
Gibson, pay clerk ; Thomas J. Duffield, general su
perintendent of workmen; Wm. Meade, assistant
superintendent. In addition to these officers, there
are assistants to the bill, invoice, and issue clerks,
receiver, and pay clerk. There are also Mr. Irvine,
superintendent of clothing, who gives out all the
clothing, Sc., that is to be made up by the women
employed at the arsenal; also, chief inspector of
clothing, ice., Neal Campbell, and an assistant;
Snmuel S. Kelly, Perkins, and other assistant in
spectors, who do the principal part of the work of
inspection ; Mr. Neel), inspector of tents; Mr. Etter,
inspector of kmvpisicks and haversacks; Mr. Faulk
ner, inspector of boots and bootees, and leather; Mr.
Parsons, superintendent of the boots and bootees
that are given out to be made up ; Mr. Dubree, mea
surer of leather; Mr. McGrath, receiver; Mr. Test,
receiver; and a number of other receivers. There
are ;elect numerous assistants to all of the above
named officers, and numerous other minor positions.
The number of assistants taken on was owing to
the increase of business at the arsenal, and these
will be dropped, no doubt, from the list as soon as
the Colonel directs that the force must be lessened,
which, we understand, he has already done, now
that the demand for army supplies la not so great as
in August and September, when supplies were fur
nishedto the new levy of men and those already in
the field. Colonel Crostnazi has the jurisdiction of
the arsenal, and all appointments and discharges
must be approved by him, although the minor offl
ece generally are created by the military store
keeper and sent to the former for approval. We can
not see how any employee is to determine the fact
of an officer being one thing or another. The head
of the department is the only man who can prove
what position Mr. Duffield holds. The grave error
supposing Dlr. Duffield to be general superintend
ent of clothing must have originated in the follow
ing manner : The note or letter paper used at the
Arsenal has a printed heading, it Clothing Deportment
tf Schuylkill Arsenal." air. Duffield, writing a note
on this paper, signs his name General Superintend
ent, and the gentlemen in Council, no doubt, took
it as general superintendent of clothing. This is
another position altogether. Mr. Duffield must in
future add " of laborers."
THE ORGANIZATION OF COUNCILS.—The
new Councils will organize at ten o'clock A. M., on
the first Monday in January. A lively time is
anticipated in both the Select and Common Branches.
The Democrats and Republicans are alike sanguine
of securing the election of the Officers of both
chambers, as each party claims a majority. Until
Thursday last, the hope was indulged that.the open
ing of . Select Council at least would be attended
with order and di coruni. 'The resignation of Mr.
Catherwood, Democratic member from the Twenty
fifth ward, has given a new complication to matters.
The cause of Mr. IVs resignation is secretly given
out as arising from some misunderstanding with his
Democratic brethren in caucus. A certain member
of the opposition, who would not go Into a caucus of
his own party, has thus given the Democrats hope to
expect that he will act with them. To entice him,
they offer him the presidency of Select Council,
which it was generally understood would be given
to Mr. Catherwood. Anew imbroglio springs up—
whO will take Air. catherwood's seatl He was
elected for two yells. The act of Assembly disquali
fies a member It he resides over a year out of the
ward he reifies+ uts. Air. Cstherwood, it Is said, is
thus disqualified. But, at the last election a candi
date was put forth by the Demeeratb who was elect.
eft. The Bernoeratic party, by this action, wege de
termined that if they were foiled in one repreftntn
tive they should hat e another. The quesHen now
to be determined is whether Mr. O'Rourke, the new
ly-elected member, will be legally entitled to take a
seat to which soother was elected for two years.
In Common Council, the difficulties 'tithe way of
a peaceful and orderly organization are even greater.
In two or three wards opposite candidatmswill claim
their seats, and each can show certifies.* bf having
been duly elected. Nothing will be left unturned to
secure, if possible, a Democratic organization of
Common Council.

Rate been furnished with the following account of
the ralliond meeting held in this city on Monday, at
which the Philadelphia, Wfintingtcnt, and Baltimore
Raiiroad, Camden and Amboy Railroad, and Balti

seated:
• PHtt. am:Lellt a, December 28.
An imprirtant special meeting of the representa
tives of the several railroad companies forming the
direct toad between Washington and New orkwas
held here yesterday, and was fully attendell. Much
harmony characterized the proceedings, and mea
sures of the inost thorough character were adopted,
looking to the increase of the advantages of the line
as the great public route of travel..
The number of the through trains, with close con
nections, to accommodate the heavy travel between
Washington and New York, was increased from
three to four daily, while the time of all the trains
now on the line is considerably reduced, and the
hours of departure and arrival so revised as to pro
mise greatly improved facility and comfort torts.
sengers. The through trains will leave New i ork
at 7 and 10 A. ItI„ and at 7,‘ and 1114 P. M., arriv
ing in Washington at 6.20 and 9.40 P. hi., and at 6
and 9.45 A. M. They will leave Washington at 8
and 11 A. AI., and .3 and 6!‘ P. M., arriving in
New York at 6 . 4 0 and 101'. DI. and 3 and 5.10 A. Si.
Special agents of the route will travel upon each
and all of the through trains constantly, and see that
through passengers are properly assorted and accom
modated in their own cars, and that their baggage,
etc., is promptly and safely cared for. Three of the
four trains are to be exclusively express, on which
mere local travel will not be taken. By this a much
improved certainty in the schedules will be increased.
It was agreed that thirty new and splendid cars,
the best that can be Lunt, should be at once put
upon the line, with such running fixtures as would en
able them to pass over the whole route between New
York and Washington without change or interrup
tion whatever. The new line arrangements will take
effect on Monday, the sth of January.
Steps were also taken looking to an agreement be
tween the companies composing the route, by which
double tracks shall be Laid down. as soon as practi
cable, to further facilitate the movement of trains.
A firstelass double-track direct railroad will be corn
pleted between New Brunswick and Trenton, pass
ing under the canal and most of the streets of the
latter city. Work on the second 'track is already
progressing on the Washington branch and the
Philadelphia and Baltimore road. The great rail
way bridge across the Susquehanna, at Havre-de-
Grace, (the piers of which are begun,) will be rapidly
built, and substantial embankments be substituted
for the present bridges on the Philadelphia and Balti
more road over the Bush and Gunpowder rivers.
The transfers at Philadelphia and Baltimore will
also be improved by special arrangements already in
progress. As soon as the new through cars are com
pleted, all the changes of passengers at Philadel
phia will be avoided.
ARRIVAL OF WODNDRD FROM FREDE
nieusnuno.—At an early hour yesterday morning,
about three hundred wounded soldiers from Frede
ricksburg arrived at the Baltimore depot, Broad and
Prime streets. They were received at y the Citizens'
Volunteer Hospital, where their wounds were

A Surr A.GAUVST A RAILROAD COSMIC
TOIS—DIPOIITANT DECISION.—In one of the counties
of this State a case was recently tried the decision
of which is of importance to the travelling public
and to railroad conductors. The facts of the case
are few and easily stated. A passenger, who wished
to ride from Johnstown to Huntingdon, attempted
to purchase a ticket at the office offering a five
dollar bill, which the ticket agent could not change.
The passenger then took the train offering the same
note, which the conductor received for the purpose
of examining its genuineness. After a time, the con
ductor returned the note stating that he believed it
to be a counterfeit. The passenger insisted that the
note which the conductor returned to him was not
the same he had offered in payment of his fare ;
but it was established on the trial that the note the
conductor offered to give him back was the same he
had received from him ; and, moreover, that the
conductor was mistaken about its being a bad note;
that it was a genuine note on the Delaware City
Bank.
The conductor then told the passenger that, unless
he could pay with other money, he would have to
put him oft' the train at the next station. He maul
feated some unwillingness to go, and there was some
difference among the witnesses as to whether the
conductor took hold of him by the collar to put him
out, or whether he had gone out without force. He
was required to leave the cars. He then indicted
the conductor for assault and battery. The judge
held that, if the conductor require it of the passen
ger, he, the passenger, is bound to make the change;
that the conductor Is not bound to take the fare out
of a note larger in amount, and furnish change to a
passenger; that what occurred in the cars in reference
to the five-dollar note was not a payment of the fare;
and that if the passenger did not produce a ticket,
or pay his fare in the cars, the conductor had a right
to eject him from the cars, using no more force in
doing so than is necessary. The Jury acquitted the
conductor.
AN EFFICIENT NURSE.—Chief nurse Mrs.
Nary Simmons, a Philadelphian by birth, has, since
the commencement of the war, rendezed the utmost
service at the Mansion House hospital, Alexandria.
At this place she so endeared herself to the soldiers,
that she was known by them as "Mother." The
lady has recently been appointed by the Government
to the Island Hail hospital, the new one at Washing
ton, completed some two or three months ago. Her
present visit to this city is purely a business one, as
the lady returns on Saturday. As a Philadelphian,
and a lady of great charity and long experience in
nursing, we are glad to notice that her services meet
with appreciation.
CONCERT OF SACRED MusiC.—A concert
of sacred music was given at the Church of the
Intercessor on Monday evening, and largely attend
ed. The choruses were exceedingly well rendered
by able and accom - plished singers. The interest of
the audience, however, was particularly attracted
by the solos. Mrs. Nevins, who has a rich, clear
voice, sang with marked effect three solos. This
lady, to the regret of her many friends and admirers,
is about to leave our city for New York, where she
will doubtless eclipse even her present musical repu
tation. " Oh, Thou Omnipotent" was sung very
sweetly by Mrs. Dickinson, and elicited much ap
plause. The bass solo, by Mr. Etussinger, was ren
dered with his customary artistic skill and effect.
"Judith," a sacred operetta, very brilliant in some
parts, and combining a great deal of variety and.
operatic effects, was exquisitely rendered by Mrs.
Lverest. This lady deserves especial mention for
hetleaniess of enunciation, an attainment possessed
by tew artists. With a perfect enunciation, a clear,
full voice, rich in modulation and compass, and a
depth of feeling appreciative of the subject, she ren
dered "Judith " in the most artistic and impressive
style, which was enthusiastically received by the
audience. The concert was very satisfactory, both
in its reception and in the funds which it has se
cured for this church.
COT.. MOLE_ N's REGIMENT AT .FREDE
nicusnuno.—Among the many noble and gallant
solilien engaged in the battle at Fredericksburg,
few are entitled to more praise than Captain Wrn. J.
liarkisheimer commanding Company I, Stith Penn
sylvania. This regiment, formerly commanded by
Col. Geo. P. McLean, added fresh laurels to its fair
fame by the bravery displayed in this battle. They
went into the tight with but one hundred and forty
men, and at one stage of the battle were ordered to
charge on a rebel regiment of seven hundred. It
was in this charge that Capt. Harkisheimer acted sp
well ; he led his men so successfully as to capture
forty prisoners, and kill some thirty more. In the
charge, Captain H. was injured so badly by a fall
as probably to prevent his taking charge again of his
company.
'DONATIONS TO THE HOINICEOPATHIC HOSPI

House in this city on Monday afternoon, when the
Rev. Warren Randolph was called to the chair, and
thediev. Mr. Vastle, of West Philadelphia, acted as
secretary. The object of the meeting was to listen
to' a lecture, which was delivered by the Rev. T.
J. Conant. D.D., on the revision of the Bible. This
venerable and learned scholar has been in the city
forseveral days, and, on the afternoon named, met
a gathering of Baptist ministers from this city and
vicinity. He gave a clear exhibition of lite princi
ples on which he Bible Union, of which he is one,
is founded, of the manner it proceeds in its work,
and of the great Biblical and literary resources of
which it avails itself in prosecuting that work, Dr.
Mutant was listened to with great respect, and
vote of thanks was unanimously passed. We have
been favored with the following resolutions, sub
mitted by the Rev. Dr. Dickinson, editor of the
Christian Chronicle, and pastor of the First Baptist
Church of Wilmington, Delaware, passed at the
meeting:
Resolved, That we accept the recent reverses that
have befallen our anus as significant indications that
God is teaching this nation that " the race is not to
the swift nor the battle to the strong.%
&salmi, That these disasters conspite with other
events to indicate that it is the will of Providence
that the American Union is to be preserved only by
the overthrow of the institution of human slavery.
Resolred, That we hereby reassure the President of
our cordial approval of his proposed proclamation
of emancipation, and, while deploring the causes
that have rendered it a military necessity, that we
nevertheless rejoice in the fact that it is a measure
in itself in perfect harmony with the eternal prin
ciples of right, with the best interest of the white
and colored population of our land, with the de
mends of a Ohristian civilization, the general wel
fare of mankind, and the good pleasure of God,
Resolved, That we assure the President of our con
fidence in his purpose not to be deterred from issuing
the said proclamation of emancipation, on the first
day of January, 1663, either by the entreaties of
friends, the threatenings of foes, or by the present
trial of the nation's faith ; but that he will throw
himself and the country upon the providence of that
God who brought his ancient people to the Red Sea,
and then bade them "go forward.) ,
Resolved, That we recommend the observance of
the lastdfty of this year as a,day of earnest prayer
to Almighty God for His blessing upon the antici
pated proclamation, and the observance of the first
day 9f January next as a day of thanksgiving in
view of its utterance.
Resolved, That a copy of these •resolutions be for
warded to the President with the assurance of our
profound sympathy with him in his present efforts
to save this nation.

Larceny of a Picture.
Barney lifelllhenny, whose photograph has a place
in the Rogues' Gallery, was arraigned before Alder
man White, yesterday,. on the charge of the larceny
of apicture, representing Daniel Webster address
ing the United States Senate. The evidence • set
forth that the defendant and two or three other
persons stopped at the oyster house of Mr. McClean,
on Pine street, above Fifth, and, having indulged
in bivalves, tendered a note in payment. The pro
prietor absented himself from the saloon to get some
change. When he came back he missed a picture
from the wall. Starting out, he finally saw the de•
fendant at Eighth and Locust streets, with the stolen
picture in his possession. An officer was called, and
the accused was taken into cuejody. He was com
mitted in default of $l,OOO bail.
Daring Robbery.
Frank Johnson, a, colored man, was charged be
fore the same magistrate with stealing a lot of candy
from the store of Mary and. Catherine Divine, two
sisters, on Fifth street, below Walnut. The defend
ant entered the store on Monday night, and tried to
rob the money drawer. Failing in this, be picked up
a box of candy, valued at two 'dollars, with which he
walked away. One of the sisters gave the alarm,
and the daring fellow was captured without much
trouble.. He was committed in default of $BOO bail
to answer.
A Row on Front Street.
Yesterday morning the neighborhood of Front and
Walnut streets was thrown into commotion, be
cause an individual suddenly made an attack upon
the public house of Mr. Polett. Several panes of
glass were smashed to atoms, and some persons
within the bar-room narrowly escaped the boulders
Thrown by the infuriated man. lie was arrested and
taken at once before Alderman White, to whom he
gave the name of George Fredericks. The evidence
was the defendant applied at the house of Mr.
Polett for some liquor ; the proprietor thought he
had enough already and cleared him out. The fel.
low desisted, and was finally put out with just such
force as was necessary to accomplish this work, lie
was committed.
[Before Mr. Alderman Dougherty.]
Discharged.
Pabmick Cutter, who was held for a hearing on the
charge of committing an assault and battery on Mr.
Schoneberger, on Sunday evening, the particulars of
which have already been given, had a final hear
ing yesterday before Alderman Dougherty.
The evidence was positive that he was not the sol
dier who pulled the nose of the proprietor. The de.
fendant was honorably discharged.
(Before Mr. Alderman 13eltler.l
An Important Arrest of Alleged Shop.
Utters.
Yesterday afternoon Detectives Bartholomew La.
mon, Henderson, and Carlin started on a leisure
stroll among the stores on Eighth street. They made
their observations ? such as only true detectives can
do, and on comparing notes, came to the conclusion
that two women,who mingled in the throng,were pro
festional shop-lifters. When they were first seen on
Eighth street, they appeared to be dressed according
to the fashion. In the course of a couple of hours
they had grown wonderfully; in fact, the skirts of
~ their dresses, that trailed the sidewalk at first, did
not now reach the pavement by a couple of inches.
At first they appeared to be well-shaped ladies; but
now they were so decidedly obese that they looked
like silk-covered overgrown specimens of humanity.
Walking to them seemed a tiresomejob. After
little while they emerged from the throng and
started down a cross street, and entered a certain
public house, where larger beer is served to ladies in
the second story. The officers entered shortly after;
and it is supposed imbibed, or rather called for four
lagers. Two of the detectives ascended, and, on en
tering the ladies' room, found the two women dis
robing themselves of a considerable quantity of dry
goods, chiefly of dress patterns, which it is supposed
they had stolen. It was not longbefore awowner or
two were found for some of the goods. This Was the
only link wanted to fasten conviction on the parties,
and they were at once taken to the station house for a
hearing. Some goods were recovered that await
owners. The prisoners have not been long in this
city. As they were about to descend into the lock
up yesterday afternoon, we heard an expression made
by one of two ladies passing by at the time; "what
a shame it is to take up such well-dressed Indica."
Both the prisoners are married women, lady-like in
their manners, and very well calculated to deceive.
The officers subsequently arrested two men on the
charge of being implicated with the women. The
prisoners gave the names of Bridget Ward, Margaret
Montgomery, Wm. Fanning, and Andrew Kelly.
They were locked up to await a hearing on Satur
d,ar afternoon at 2 o'clock. One of the prisoners
said she is a respectable woman of New York, and
t at she was here for the purpose of buying goods by
the invoice. Alderman Beitler t before whom the
party were arraigned last evening, asked her why
she carried all the goods beneath her clothing. Oa
this point ehe was particularly dumb. The whole
party were committed where, in all human proba
bility, they will have prison are for their Christmas
dinner. Some port-monnalelS and ladles' cabas, or
leather satchels were recovered. Tkey await owners
at the Central Station. Storekeepers would do well
to call upon any of the above named officers, at the
Central Station, before Saturday.
Look Out for Pickpockets.
It Is generally understood among the knowing ones
of the detectives that the Philadelphia professional
pickpockets, becanse of the " ninety-day law, ,, have
lied the city, and are now plying their nefarious
business in other places. There are plenty of the
profession in our city but they are new here, yet
they are evidently adroit thieves. Yesterday after
noon, a lady was relieved of her port-monnaie, con
taining the sum of $BO, at Second and Callowhill
streets.
it is probable that others lost their pocket-books
On Second street, as that ancient thoroughfare was
pretty well crowded during the afternoon. To-day
the market stands will be more than usually , at.
tractive, and the attendants in search of Christmas
turkeys should be careful of their money-purse or
they might find themselves suddenly bereft of the
wherewithal to purchase the necessaries for the pro
pa. observance of the day of enjoy - meat that will
dawn tomorrow. The many fine stores that adorn
the city draw great crowds of admirers. In some
instances storekeepers have had posted in glaring
letters, " Beware of Pickpockets." This is a good
idea, as persons whose minds may be fully employed
in admiring the beautiful might for the moment
forget their pocket, and lose the material. There
fore, we mutton the readers of The Press to beware
of pickpockets.
Passenger-ear Pickpockets.'
There was noticed in this column on Monday that
Mr. Herbert, a New Jersey farmer, had his pocket
picked on-one of the cars on the Market-street Rail
nod. Since that time information was lodged at the
Central Station-house of several other similar oc
currences. One gentleman lost $7O, and another
gao, while riding on these cars. It seems that the
pickpockets have selected this line and that of the
Green and Coates for their operations. The reason
of this is because they are the only lines that exact
payment for fare from the detective police. Yesterday
Morning a scene occurred on one of the Green and
Coates-street cars, worthy of being mentioned trwe
for the benefit of those people who patronize this as
well es the Market-street -tine. The ear was
crowded. Two gentlemen Inside observed a well
dressed young man on the platform put his left
bond Into the pocket of a gentleman -whom he
crowded. Presently_ another well-dressed young
man got off and started down a cross street. As
soon as the observant gentlemen could do so con
veniently they asked the other man it. he had lost
anything. He said no ; he believed not. They re
quested him to feel h is The
; he did so, and
missed his pocket-book. The suspected party was
examined; in fact, he insisted on an examination
being made- Postmaster Cornelius A. Walborn
happened to he among the passengers, and assisted
in making a search of the suspected individual. A
cast amount of indignation was expressed, and
finally the postmaster thought he knew the young
gentleman, and said lie was the eon of a highly re
spectable citizen of Philadelphia. The young gen
tleman admitted it, and very well knew Mr. Wal
born. Of course he did. The other gentlemen,
however, who could not doubt the evidence of their
own eyes, could have nothing to say, and no pocket
book was found. The loser had to pocket the logel—
SCVC mill hundred dollars it is said. The detective
police never use the care on the Market-street or
()Teen and Coates-street tracks. The pickpockets
are aware of this, and therefore " go a gunnin g ," as
it Is called,.through these roads.

AYER'S SARSAPARILLA IS A OCW
ceutrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined
with other sithstaneng of still greater alterative power
as to afford au effective antidote for diseases Sarsaparilla
is reputed to care. Such a remedy is surely wanted b
those who safer from Strumons complaints, and that
one winch will accomplish their cure must prove of im
mense service to this large class of our afflicted fellow
citizens. How completely this compound will do it has
been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases
to be found in the following complaints:
SCROFULA AND SatoroLous GOMpLAINTS, ERUPTIO/8
AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, ULCERS, 1"/NPLES, BLOTOIHJR/
TCNORS, SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND HT

AND I:CDHIESTION, ERYSIPILAS, ROsE OR Sr. ANTHO 4
DISEASE, -, Dior
DIM and indeed.the whole class of.complaints arlairif
from larertrrror THE IlLooti. •
This compound will be found a great promoteri of
health when taken in the spring to expel the foul hu
mors which fester In the blood at that season of the year.
By the timely expulsion of them many rankling agar
dere are nipped iu the bud. Multitudes can, by the ald
of this remedy, spare themselves from the endnranpf of
foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the
system will strive to rid Itself of corruptions. if not is•
girded to do this through the natural channels of the
body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the villa,
led blood whenever you feud its Impurities bursting
through the akin in pimples, eruptions. or sores: cleanse
it when you And - it is obstructed and sluggish in the
veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings
will tell yon when. Even where no particular disorler
is felt, people enjoy better health, and live lengerofor
cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is
well; but with the pabulum of life disordered, there can
be no lasting health. Sooner or later something nlnatAo
wrung, and the great machinery of life is disordered , or
overthrown.
- .
During late years the public have been misled by large
bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsa
parilla for one dollar. Most of these have been trends
upon the sick for they not only contain little, If shy, Sarsaparilla,but often no curative properties whatever.
Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed
the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which
good the market, until the namedtself Is justly despised,
and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat.
Still we tall this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to
supply such a remedy as shalt rescue the name from the
load of obloquy which rests upon D. And we think we
have ground for believing it has virtues which arc irre
sistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended
to cure.
