THE VISITED STATES.
A tuee'.mg was held las t evenlrK at St. Luke's
Chuici, Thirteenth street, below Spruce, Rev.
M. A. 1 e Wolfe Howe, D. P., rector, for the
porpose of raising contributions lor the enlarge
meut Of the "Mission Houf-c," situated in this
city, and lis clearance from debt, all the pnr
ticulHrs ot which occur In the remarks appende'd.
The inectine was well attended, and was opened
with the usual Church service o!' Ringiujr and
j rajer, by the rector. We noticed a large num
ber of the prominent clerpv and laity of the
Episcopal Church present, iind a spirit of jrreat
Interest In the object of the meeting was mani
fested. ,
Iiishop Thomas A. Vail, or the Diocese of
Kansas, stated in his Introductory remarks tliat
in the year 1WI4 a mis-ion house was established
lor the first time, for the purpose of preparing
mm for the missionary work in Africa to preach
the Gospel ol our Lord ami Saviour, lor the en
liphlennient and conversion of its people. This
Mission house was then located in Gambier,
Ohio, established In the month of September.
It was felt, however, that such au ius'itutlon
thnuM hi; located nt a more imp riant and
accessible point l our country, nearer the
more populated distrie's, and accessible to
those Mho, returning Irom Uieir missionary
tields from time to ti ne, could come and stay,
uivc experience to ilio-e in preparation fr simi
liiT labors, 'and impress them with the spirit of
missionary labor. A plan was cllected by which
the musiou hout-e, in the course of the last year,
was jemoved from Gambler to this city.
The noble liberality ol the city had procured
a building. We have commenced; wc feel the
necessity that this work yliould prosper, and we
wi?h earnefet Chrisiian people to help us for the
extension of our Church, and the carrying of
the Gospel of our Lord .Icitis Christ to the
heathen of the world. Wc lay this subject
before your Christian ludsrtnent your Christian
conscience hopinp; that you will be actuated
by the Holy Spirit to hHp us in sour liberality
for the .extension of Christ's Church and the
spreadinc ot His holy word.
Rev. Mr. Howe, the rector of the ;1iurch, re
marked that he had been desired to speai to
the congregation upou the importance ot this
mission house audita enlargement. All know
that, under the influence ot the la'e revered
Bishop, a theological seminary was e.nabl shed
in West Philadelphia, at the corner of Thirty
ninth and Valuut Greets, awl there has no it
become affiliated with that institution this mis
sion house, located at the corner of Laucajter
avenue and Thirty sixth street. On thai mission
house, as you pass by the heights of West Phila
delphia on sonic line day, you will see a white
flap, with the worth ""forcien Mission'' im
printed upon it; and if you enter that building
jou will tind there some twenty students, who
are applying themselves to work, qualifying
themselves to cairy the Gu.spel to the ends of
the earth; you wili find presiding over that in
stitution the Rev. J. G. Auer, who has been a
missionary on the coast ol Africa lor some years
past, and wilh him, abidiug there tor a time,
the Right Rev. Bishop Payne, who for thirty
years has been outraged in the missions upon
the African coast. Such is the "Mission House."
I hardly need tell you, Christian friends, that
the cause of foreian missions in the Protestant
Episcopal Church is at a learlully lo w ebb. I
say it with deep sadues ol heart, that to the
lack of interest in loreigu missions throughout
all the years of our history, 1 attribute, more
than to any other came, our slow prores in
these United States. For it seems to me that a
Church like this, having a pure (scriptural doc
trine, a primitive and apostolic ministry, hav
ing a worship which adjusts to all tastes
the taste of tho cultivated and the taste of the
simple if we only weie animated with tho
spirit of Christ, and tiying 1o do Christ's work,
by dispensing His gospel to all tho suffering
ranks of mankind, It would have attracted all
eyes, and made us to stand forth from the hetero
geneous sects around us, who are goiug on in
their extension from division to subdivision
as years roll on. Christian men will eo whore
there is Christian life and its demonstration In
works; and although we have all these mark of
the original Church, until we have tDe orieiuol,
apostolic .primitive spirit of the Church, we can
not hope to do our legitimate work amoug men.
We have drifted away from our mother. We
came out of the Church of England when her
spiritual lite was exceedingly lo. Through
the whole eighteenth century, that Church,
although keeping the forms of worship, was yet
lilcless; and as you know, through all Europe
at the close of the last century, especially in
France, there was a prevalence among iutelli
gentpeople of wide-spread infidelity; and the
Church, you will notice, in that century, did
very little, almost nothing, lor the dispensing of
the Gospel to the hea'hen. But now the Church
ol England has changed her front upon that
mutter, and is now sending her missionaries to
all lands, and at this moment the has more
Bishops in the foreign field, than she has at
home.
1 believe iu my heart that it is in that work of
the Church of Eneland that she has such a hold
upon the sympathies of the Eneiish people.
You all know w hat the Moravian Church has
done in this work. Its home is in a little town
of Geiniany, Heniback. Its missionaries are la
all lands, and God is caring tor it.
For the education ot the clygy there exists In
our land, In different parts, eight theological
schools. Why should not the foreign missiona
ries be educated iu these schools? What Is the
use ol a Mission Hotr-e lor the express purpose
of educating foreigu missionaries? These are
the questions which cme up in the mind. I
will give you one reason immediately why we
cannot deprnd upon our theological semiaaries
for the lurnishiug of our foreign missionaries.
The past tells us lhat we cannot depend upon
them. The past plaiuly informs us that, of all
who are therein educated, not one iu one hun
dred will devote himself to this work. The
reason is that they educate ministers fjr the
homo field; that is 'their speciuc undertaking.
We want a school that is pervaded with "a
special missionary spirit lor t'JH special WJik ot
missions.
The constantly increasing population, the
increase ot parishes, make a correspondiag in
crease of ministers, and so tew is the supply to
.1 T I .. 1 , 1. . ..I . i 11 . I
ine mimucr neeueu, mui uuuosi uu wuo are
instructed in ourtheological schools are eacaaed
before they take holy orders. Consequently, it
any good young man, who ha' devoted himself
in his own heart to the loreigu missionary
work, goes to one of these schools, the proba
bility is that the inllueuceof the place will be
such that he will be divcried from his original
purpose, and instead of going .broad to carry
the Gospel to the heathen, he will be attracted
by tome more comfortable place at borne, where
there will be plenty of Irieuds to tell him his
talents can be well employed, and therefore no
need of this self-sacritlce. Therefore I say that
the establishment of a Mission House, for the,
purpose ot educating jncu foe the foreign mis
sioKfl, Is a most auspicious and happy event in
tho history of our Church.
In the first place, It holds out the missionary
idea. It prevents us from shutting our eyes to
the fact that there is a work to be done some
where d&o besides the country where wi live.
I confess that my eyes are gladdened as I pass
over to the divinity school in West Philadel
phia, and see that Hag, with its blood-red letters
aDd blood-red cross, in the midst of them. It
is just what we want to mute day-laborcre,
blessed by God, go forth in this grand work of
enliuhtenment to the barbarians and heathens
who knew no God. It is lust what we want to
make a young man determine what shall be his
career in lite by the selfless question, "Am I not
caliel by the providence of God and by the
spirit of my Master? Am I not called to conse
crate my life and labor to His services?" As
illustrating this fact, let me tell you in this mis
Monhouse are twenty young men assembled lor
education to do a specitic work. They have
come far and near. Some of them from the
Island of Ilavti; some from the Batbadoes; gome
ot them are Europeans.
Here are these twenty men to work tor tho
oreiun minion. Why do we want a spec'ul
hcue for tftireducntion as foreign inlnsonaries ?
IWicau-e foreicn missionaries do not mean pre
cisely that they have the same education as
mlui'steis do. We can get for that work in tie
Mission House, material which wc wojld uof
send to theological schools. We can (ret In It
artisans men who have been employed in the
industrial pursuits of life, and who will be
better qualified on that accolint men who
have no heed of much literary attainments -men
who, if they were to attempt to qualify
themselves for the missionary work at home,
would be required to go through along period
of study, and it would take some until matured
life belore they could be taken Into holy orders.
We need eleraettary instruction In tiie common
and most Important branches of learning.
They need to learn household economic?, for
they are going to live in places where tLfy will
not be able to command their own servants, but
will have to know and learn themselves. They
will have to apply their own hands, and teach
others tho knowledge of tho Gospel, to m iko
themselves comfortable and respectable in life.
They need, bIpo, some sort of au education in
mechanics. They should be taught in a moderate
way a little civil encineerinB', to know taoiv
bridges are made, and how roads are to be cat:
a knowledge of carpentering, for w herever th
(iospel reaches there it is necessary to have
churches and chapels to worship in.
All of you have observed that wherever the
Gospel is carried, there civilization troes vi',!i it;
and he who lives in a mud hut, when ho begins
to understand that he I" a man, he becomes a
man, and usines to have 60mc better and more.
comloriable home. And all these, pr.ieticil
tliims of daily hie our foreign mis-i-muric?
must know, and they never can or will l;arn
them iu theological seminaries They must
have a knowledge of the nations they irro.i I. 10
visit, mid the opinions that prevail in heathen
land.
Thev must know the peculiarities of thi reli
gions they have to eneountcr, and inu-t be
taught the history ol Christian .yiiou. inoy
must know the habits, the pecul'trUles and lan
guages, of the ditl'erent tribes aud nation-, and,
above all things, they niisst live in, una ore uhe
all the wliile, a missionary spirit. They should
be under the training of one who has been actu
ally on the field, and knows whereof he 8peks.
A man filled with missionary enthusiasm, whose
heart will counsel and warui the hearts oi those
gathered around him.
They need to be in constant home intercourse
with returning missionaries; and this is one Of
the points ot ' our Mission House, for we keep
two chambers there for the accommodation of
tho.-e missiouaricM who return to the United
States for the recovery of their health; and they
are here domiciled, aud set at the table with the
young .men who, iu toe inordinary intercourse,
love an opportunity of gaiuiug suggestions and
acquaintance, and ate infud by the zeilnus
missionary spirit, whereby they arc benefited
and uplUted in their work.
We of the Episcopal Church must have our
hearts touched and warmed to this work. Let
us be liberal with means and men, and the mis
sionary hrc will prrva le all our prayers. Lei
us be iiberil to provide, out ot our ubundauee,
for the education of the mi;sion workers who
are to carry the light to dark places; for "he

Rev. Dr. Pratt, of Philadelphia, the ni'xt
speaker, remarked that there was great reaon
to apprehend a continuance of just precisely
that condition of things which we now observe
iu the Church, viz., a coldness aud indifference
oii the great subject of religion at large. Can
there be a plainer mpssage in all the Gospel than
this: "Go ye into all the world aud preach the
Eospel to every creatrire?" Is not the Church,
by its negligence an.d coldness, losing evidence
that her members are the friends of Christ that
her disciples are the chosen ones to accomplish
this work? The question has often been aked,
whether this Mission House was under the care
of the Church, to be upheld by it ? 1 have in
variably answered that I believed that God has
commenced to make it au interest to the church
men of Philadelphia, and they Lave answered
warmly and ghidly. AUtI that I believe the iti
terercst in the Church at large is so reat that
there is no possibility of a failure.
But when I notice around me evidence of a
lack ol interest, 1 must say to you, my brethren,
let us feel as if we were called upon to woik
bardtr for this lack of interest. Nothincr cau
be clearer than that the Church required just
precisely such an institution, and if I Lad
clmrge of it, and it were in my power, I would
put a wauarouua tnis .Mission House, and wo'HJ
putinioice some law like that which prevails
in Girard College, and not allow a minister,
in search ot a warden, or vestryman, or helper,
or a peron to take charge of a church, to come
into the institution.
This has been the great difficulty iu n;o-t theo
logical schools, in trying to educate young men
tor foreign work. I was informed, but a short
time since, that in a class of graduates of one of
these schools, applications had been received
from all parts of the country lor every man. No
chance lor educating foreign missionaries there,
when the home demand far exceeds the number
studying. We must have a missionary traininc
school, to be exempt from these applications. I
believe young men that enter that institution
are required to give pledges that they will go to
the foreign missions. The other theological
schools can supply ministers for this country;
this school should supply those fo? the Christian
work in far-oil and darkened countries. These
men ought to be instructed for the peculiarities
of the missionary work. They require to know
thousands of things not necessary to the
preachers at home.
If this good thought for the enlightenment of
those ignorant of a Parlour's love would inspire
all our friends with confidence and faith, God's
blessing will rest upon this institution. Our
hearts should be renewedly interested In its
support, and the Churches of tho land
would see in it the requisite to a successful
building up of God's people, and the wide spread
knowledge of the Gosixl of our Lord Jeius
Christ.
The principal of the Mission House, J. 0.
Auer, spoke of some ol his remiuiscences in
Alrica. The Africans, he said, have a oeliet
that after God formed the earth lie retired be
hind the high mountains in the centre of Africa,
hid Hiif.eclf up, and loraot everybody; and they
say lie does hot care lor them, and why need
they care for Him ? There is no hope, no spirit,
no energy in the people. They are not incited
to any euerey. The summer, with its heat, its
warm sun shining down upon them, and sur
rounded by every tbiug In rich luxuriance, tends
to inako them still more listless aud uncaring
lor their weltare.
But when this letbanry is once broken down
and the light of the Gospel is diffused in their
midst, aud they learn and believe that they are
men, with souls to eave; when they ouce know
that knowledge will increase their happinoss
and better their condition, then their thirst for
the truths of the Bible and the opportunities of
learning Is insatiable.
Although the difficulties in giving them the
Gospel by fcoiug in their inids. are greir, yet
the lruits oi the labors will satisly. It needs no
great mind, rich talents: it needs only a good
heart, and somewhat general knowledge ot
the important things necessary to enter into the
seivice ot Christ Jesus; and 1 believe, if we but
try, God gives success, it is difficult to give
them any impression of our learniLir in general
about reading or writing, because at first when
we arrive, we know not their language. Slowly
we learn, picking up a word here an i there,
with its definition, and bv degrees form a dic
tionary, and then we are better prepared to go
on with our work.
We want thlsMf sion House io or lerthatmany
of these great difficulties can be removed. We
desire to give the student a goeral idea ot the
language, and of the work to be done there.
We want to give blm an idea of the peculiarities
ot the people, and teach htm how to secure the
attention ot the wild boys who 11 he will have to
teach. Their odd ways how, at first, they will
laiurh and shout and run away, when you speak:
to them; but how by degrees you will ba able
to teach from the Bible. Give them a little know
ledge of the uso of arithmetic; tell them how
to count and how to spell, and give the meaning
of the words. Allthe.se thing will be done at
first slowly; but, as their minds are opened to
the Increasing benefit of the knowledge, they
will study all the time, aud want you contiucully
with them. Teach our uiissionaiy workers how
to ti'u ibem with k!iducsM, iiever tc ;ive Wiiy

Where the missionaries huve been, tnf.rc have

regular Miceessiou, never missing, you will ee
native young men "tudjin;: ddiremly, and after
they have learned to understand then.selves,
tiny start off, through the rtceu ravines and
tangled wood-, to spread the gi ld news and to
traeh others. H used to be an impossible thine
for a missionary, alter starting a school, to
remain a long time, ae l when be did leave it
v. as with the greater ot dillieulty. For the men,
fearing that hp micht not return, and th'rsfnR
for kr.owledce, would not let him go, or if they
did, made him promise to come h ick f ion.
Von know not with what ragcrn-'ss the young
and old will gather around a teacher or minis'er,
when he comes into a village, where he has been
preceded by the Word or i.'od. Hun Ireds and
hundred ot tne youth and at'ed will come from
neighboring towns, and from round about
places, 10 hear of that name w hich already tuey
beirin to love. As an instance of their desire t j
hear the Word of God, I will illustrate by a )
eplcode in my own experience.
1 was in ft vitiaire, which I ha 1 just reached,
IUICT I'UUIIlip n JOUH ui-iiiim v, Hill I V uum uj,
giiraufie Africans accosted me, des'rin that I
should go and preach for them. I told them 0!
my wenrine-s and that I was lame from exer
tion. With that, they lilted me on to their
brawny shoulders, and carried me to their
villa; e, where a lartre concourse of people were
gatluied, and to whom I preached. You kno
not the want of preachers and teachers in thnt
land, where lig'it has ju-t began to dawn 011 the
darkened minus of the people.
This Mission House is the necessary establish
ircnt where they can be furnished. Now, we
come to you wilt these farti, aud ask you, as
Christian, to help us in thi" preat work. Wc
hive a tne lot, 1J0 feet front by 190 feet deep,
and a large, well-furnished building, but it is
now lull, and we need more room and more
money. We dare not turn away any who desire
to cor.ecrate their lives to C hrist, as "the. Celd
is while to the harvest, aud the laborers are
few." We make our needs kno n to the people
and the Church.
We need at once to enlarpe ur bnUdirj;? to
accon modate fifty students. We m-ed at once
.ir students now In the house, and tot provided
for, eiuht scholarships at $;Sllu each a year. We
need twenty-six additional scholarships at :iut)
a year each, and an amount for teachers' sala
ries, servants' wage?, books, incidentals, etc..
making a total necesary for a rurht carrying on
of this work, ot about $40,000. We cry umo the
Loid for all this, for it is His work, and He bade
us do it; aud we cry also unto the Church, for
the respovibility of doing the work is upon her
conscience, and we feel tbnfideut that she will
bear it.
Bishop Vuil, in his closing reniprks to the
congregation, s.-dd nothing more could be added
to what already had been 'set forth by the prece
dingspeakers. ' He would ask the people to bear
It ever in mind, that the salvation of many souls
depended upon the immediate help and work of
this Mission House. The object was a errand one.
In this Christmas season aud advent year, God
had given us many blessings. In return, 'let us
be liberal, aud labor for Christ. Let us remember
the beautiful words of the poet, so expressive of
the importance of odly w ork and the shortness
of time:
"The world Is grown old and her pleasures are past,
The world is grown old and her form cannot last,
The world is trrown old and trembles for lear,
For sorrows abound and the end draweth near."
The benediction wab then offered, and thecon
grcaation dispersed.

tilled while away ot Its seizure: I returned home
on a Friday evening, and went to my place ef
business, where I found three persons, who re
fused to admit rue. at first: the persons were
Mr. Wci(iiidii and the two sons of C. M. Der
ringer: the business of the place was stopped,
and things were mixed up generally; tin
binges were unscrewed from the door and the
connection pipe twisted eft": the whisky and low
wines had run together; the watchman, Rogers,
had been removed, and Mr. McUuinu was put on;
the young Derringers said they had received or
ders from their pap not to let s.-;y one In: a lawyer,
named Fannce, visited me the next day; be was
introduced to me as Mr. Faunce; I think McHuinn
introduced me; Faunce said he had been sent tor to
come there; McQuinnand Fannce talked together
some time, after which Met Jainu told me the case
coma De settled, ana wanted to know now muca 1
would give to have it settled; I said I was not in
fault, and ought not to pay anything; I finally told
him that sooner than have ray baslness stopped 1
would give 400 or t500; Mc'lninn told Faunc
this, who said he would try to fix the matter up in
the best manner he could, and then he went en:
alter the lapse of two or three hours Fannce came
back and talked to McQninn, who said it could
not be settled for less than 1000 or li00; I told
bim I could not pay that amount of money; Mc
Qulnn and I talked together for some time, and I
concluded, rather than have my business stopped,
to pay this amount of money; Faunce said If it
was settled that way I conld go on with the busi
ness right away, as be would get an order to that
effect; Faunce went away, and on bis return Mc
Ciumri gave up possession to Rogers, my first
watchman; Faunce told me to meet him at his
office, and I went there two days alterwards; his
ofllce is in "W alnut street, near Fifth: I told Faunce
1 was unable to raise the money, and be said he
would see the parties, but 1 don't know that be
mentioned any names; "be -told roe to wait at his
olllee until be came back, but I could not, as I had
business; he then proposed to meet me at the Oi.
rard House, and I met bim there: be then said the
outside parties were not willing to settle, and he
would have to go on: Mcljuinn came to the
Oirard House belore Faunce, so we all three
were there together, I remarked to Faunce
would have to make the best of it, and we parted:
Mc'iuinn and I returned to the distillery, aud
Mccjuinn retook possession of it from Rogers.
Cross-examined-1 made my application for li
cense last May; 10 September or October I roadt
application under the new law; I had a bonded
warehouse at the time; Mr. Rogers was appointed
inspector about the 11th or 12th of October; X
knew I bad not violated the law, but I ottered to
pay tbe four or five hundred dollars so as to go on
with my business; I paid no money to eitber of
tbe defendants; I saw O. M. Derringer after the
seizure, and be asked me if I knew of any im
proper conduct on his part, or on that ot any one
related to him by blood; he asked about Mr. Kneas
banting np evidence against him or membsrs o'
his family, and 1 told him he was doing so; I
don't know what else I said, but whatever I did
say was tbetrutn; Derringer also told me that the
case ought to be settled up, as be did not think I
bad violated the law myself, and he was willing
(9 do anything to let me out; I think Derringer
said whisky had been removed, and he bad found
tbe place unlocked on one occasion, but let tne otf
then; I was not at the place to either remove
whisky or unlock it, and I did not understand
bow be could let me off; he did not tell me I was
not keeping books properly; Derringer has my
bookc; my brother might have takeu a letter to
Faunce to come np and see me.

about charges against himself or family he first
administered an oath to me.

sucb person as he could not make arrangemen's j
wi'h tor that sum: tha' their figure was consider. ,
bly higher, and he believed he conld etle. t the se -tit
mem lor tfKuu: Wright hesitated a little and said ;
he hud better do that, and If Faunc 'onld so ar
range it he conld have ?iou also: Fannce went I
aw ay and returned in the afternoon, telling in to
give the key of tbe place to Rogers, as there was
no obiecuou to Mr. Rogers being allowed to re
main 611; 1 think Fannce said it wonld be al right;
1 don't remember that be showed me authority tor
bis actions; he gave me tbe idea that be had au
thority. Alderman Beitler. Then you, as a Vuited S:ae
olllcer, put in chnrpe of a place by Mr. Derringer,
surrendered it to Mr. Faunce without any author
ity I
Witness. Mr. Faunce bad a paper in his band ;
that 1 tnppoeed was authority; I wonld tune
Faunce 's statement, and I believed be bad author
ity from Colonel Derringer; he said he had effected
tbe arrangement, end so instructed me to let Ropers
takechaige of the place; 1 think I ae'ed Faunce
the question, and he said P. would bead right, to le".
Rogers have the place; as a United States otlicer, I
believed Fannce, becanse I knew he was engaged
In ranking the arrangements.
At this stage of the case Mr. Cassidy asked for a
continuance, as be bad a prior engnpemeut to.at

Who Pats por the Stamp? The annexed

l-f,r, Jon. . A. Rollins, Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, Washington, 1). C Sir: I sub
mit tbe following question, predicated upon the
enclosed evidence, arising out of a case now un
der consideration by me:
In giving a receipt, who is required to ami tne
InUrual revenue stamp, the person giving or re
ce" ving a receipt I
In my judgment, -hile a receipt Is a matter of
courtesy and right due to the person making the
payment, it is questionable wbetoer tbe person
benefited should pay for the legality of his re
ceipt, when it is bis right as a protection. It is
tbe practice, 1 am informed, of all the corporate
bodies in this city, to make the person paying the
money pay fur the internal revenue stamp allixed
to the receipt, and therefore I consider the settle,
ment of this mooted question, by tbe ruling ot
the Department, beneficial to the service and ad
vantageous to the public, independent of the fact
that upon this ruling I shall dispose of the case
now undetermined by me.
Trusting to hear from vou at your earliest con
venience, I am truly yours,
A. B. Sloakaker, Collector.
Twasury P'j'artmtnt. ($:. of Internal Revenue,
Washington, Dec. 2s, IHtfl. A. B. Sloanaker, Esq ,
Collector of Internal Revenue First District of
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pa. Sir: In answer
to your letter of December -i-), asking who Is re
quired to stamp a receipt, I have to say that any
person who ishuee an unstamped receipt, with the
intent to evade the provisions of the law, becomes
liable to the penalty of 50 in the law provided,
and that the receipt so issued shall be deemed in
valid and of no effect. In relation to the other
question asked by you, I would state that it is not
believed to be incumbent upon this office to decide
who shall pay for the stamp to be placed upon a
receipt. Very respectfully,
E. A. Rollins, Commissioner.
CAMDEN AFFAIRS.
A Hatty Family-. On Saturday evening
two women, with seven children, applied at the
Stiition House lov lodgings. Tuey represente I
they v ere from Ohio, aud ha l travelled alL the
way on loot, nud that they were on the way to
tne inouutainK. When questioned as to what
niouutaiun, tuny replied the mountains in Jersey,
where, one ot them said, her "folks" lived.
Their personal appearance was not very pre
posseesiiif;, as their heads had the appearance ot
not havinir'been within ten feet of a comb for
six months at least. They were ragged and
dirty, and when aceooimoduted witb. a cell, all
huddled together like eo many pifrs. The
youngest child was about one year and the
oldest teven jean old, and, notwithstanding
being surrounued with poverty and dirt, were
happy, and ind ul ired in singing while confined
in the cell. In the morning they were permitted
to depart, and were last heard from as being on
tbe oilier side of the bridge at Coopei'i creek,
where, bavins built a large fire, they were pre
paiing to spend the night.
Assault and Battery. Anna Maria
Fisher came to the Station House on Saturday
evening, and told his llouor the Mayor that she
could not live with her husband. He was in
the habit of getting drunk-, and coming home
and beating her. She had been "living out,"
and that morning he went to the house and
struck her iu the face, grasped her by the arm,
and kicked her in the side. The Mayor issued
a warrant, and Officer Gilbert was Distracted to
bring him to the Station House. His wile had
him committed to prison, a short time since, for
seducing her child, aged fifteen years; but he
was subsequently released at her earnest solici
tation. Conncbial Felicity. George Roath
was ai rested by Special Officer Lomacks for
assaulting his wife, antlrreaking a looking-glass
valued at $12. Roath lives in the South Ward,
and is in the habit of imbibing a little too much
of "Jersey lightning," which makes hliu feel
light-headed, and unconscious of what he is
doiug. About 1 o'clock on Sunday morning he
was in this state, aDd on going home adminis
tered to his better half a sound thrashing for
some imaginary fault. She cried murder, which
attracted the attention of the above-meutioued
otlicer, who took Roath before the Mayor. He
was committed in delault of ball.
Slight Fitse. Last evening, about half
past 0 o'c'ock, a coal oil lamp on the bureau
in one the rooms of the house, No. 42 North
third street, occupied by Mrs. Peak, was
.Knocked oil', and the contents scattered over the
lloor. The carpet took fire, an! but for the
presence of mind of one ot tbe inmates, who
smothered the flames with quilt?, a d'.saurou-?
lire would have resulted.
TnE Late Eobbeky. In addition to the
things earned off from the house at Fifth, and
Walnut street", mentioned in Friday's Tels
.ntrn, tbe thieves took with theui aboat $70
and a number of blankets. Five women and two
men have been arrested upon tbe chanre, but
nothing has as yel tiausnired to criminate them.
They were all coninjilteu to prison to await an
Investigation.
Robdeby. The house of John Gray, In
Fifth street, ahove l'lum, was entered dmiug
Friday night, through the back door, and robbed
of $7 and a pair of boots and pauts. No arrests
weie made. Gray Is a poor man, and the money
stolen was all he had. The mean scoundrels, if
caught, ought to be severely punished.
Lodgers. During tbe past year over three
thousand lodgers made application for "a night's
luddng" at tbe Camden bUiion lluue, and were
accommodated.
