Thomas Loud, Esu., died at his lata residence, on Saturday last. Mr. Loud came to this country from England when a youug man, mtwI heiran the manulaciure of pianos in thii n'.v in 1H20. He became well known for the mineru.rito of his instrument, and his interest in the ailuirs of the Musical Fund Society, of wuieh he was a member, and in whose sci-'mvc concerts and musical interests generally he took a very prominent part lor some years, Recruiting Officer Shot. Between 9 and 10 o'clock last evniner. a reeruitmir ser ceant was shot in the left hiD bv an unknown persoc, while endeavoring to arrest a deserter in Dock etrect, below Second. The wouik!, wtiih is not considered a danejerous one, was iiresiM by Dr. Coud. The te-erter made ton bcsle I HE DRAINAGE SyHTKM OF PHILADELPHIA.- In a recent report, made by the Cuicf Kneitieer, he makes mention t the great im provements in the scwersge system of thiscny. lie says further: "As to the requirements ol, tho city m the extension of sewers, he would reter to the report presented to Councils through tho Committee on Surveys and Herniations, to which is attached a hill appropriating $,ir2,0()0 lor constructing srterinl sowers, and niBkiii! certain changes where depression of grade cause too rapid an accumulation of surface-How to be admitted at one point into the sewers. There arc many other lines necessary: enough, in lact, to cover an expenditure oi $1,000,000." In retenine to the present water-closet system he uses the following language: "I do not wish to be understood as Renin? forth the present system as perrect, lor it Inn us objectionable features, in fact that the delivery Hows thromrh the sewers into river?, and larsre as is the capacity of our river Delnwar" iu comparison With the Thame?, and small as Is our population compared with that of London, yet we have a large area of territory which may be as extn slvely ami densely populated as either London or Paris; nnd notwithstanding manv years may elapse before our population will reach a number which wiJl bear the same comparison to our water capacity as London does to that c.f the Thames, yet it is not too soon to give a thought a to what shall bo done with the sewage. More fears may be justly felt as re gards the Schuylkill thau the Delaware, for already have we at least one-fourth of our popu lation delivering their reiuse into it, and tho progress of improvements in West Philadelphia has been, and will continue to be, very ranid. "The Delaware, between the island and tho city, has a delivery of about 12,000,000 cubic feet per minute, with about 600,000 people draining in it; in the Schuylkill 2,000,000 cubic feet per rniunte, with about 200,000 of population. "The Thames, at London, Las a flow of about 4, 000,000. cubic feet per minute, with a population of about 2.000,1100 in the city, and 000,000 additioual above the city, and even then 1 find in a Parliamentary report of 18G5 these words: "In the investigationfrelating to London sewage, and its effects on the Thames, and the injury to health inflicted thereby, it is conclusively shown that the createst part of the nuisance lies in the sedimentary matter which lines the banks, and is in an active state of putreffl'-tion.' I state this to show that we need not have any immediate fear of injury to our rivers should wc continue the water closet system,". Stealing Raiment. Mary Dillon was up betore Alderman Beltler at the Central Station yesterday. She was chartred with stealing wearing appaiel of considerable value from a woman named Catharine Mcllit, in Mahlon street, between Filth and Sixth and Race aad Vine. Policeman Waterhouse recovered mo-.t ot the property. It looked rather queer to see the occupant of so obscure a residence pos sessed of toggery that a merchant prince might have been proud to purchase for his household. Such, however, was the fact. The silk dresses were elaborately trimmed with Iloniton, the furs wereot true sable, nnd the under garments Acre ol iinest '.ineu. The defendant was com mitted for triaK Oub Fire Dkpaktmknt. The Fire De partment of this city embraces, at the present time, 88 companies, of which 47 are steam tire engine companies; hand engines 13, used altogether in the outer districts; 107 hose car riages, 9 hook and ladder companies, having 1574 feet of ladders, C2 hooks and 162 axes.

The finances of the Society are in a very meagre condition, and the demands upon its resources are largely on the increase. The destitute people In the lower part of the city are suffering, and starvation and death from cold and privation stare many In the face. Soup and bread are distributed daily at the soup house, in Sutherland street, below Queen, where contributions are qli-o received. Tayino Watkb Rents.
