March Weather Past and Present. We
have now reached the middle of this most un
pleasant ko fur of spring mouths; which, flgu
miiv.ly, was to ciimo in with roarings as of
many linns, and Anally take upon Itself the
dander of a peuccfnl lamb. .March, bluster
inn, howling, whistling as in seasons past, lias
become to all appearances, lily-henrted ; and
has been content to d lizzie and sl..lo itself
away, putting people "out of sorts," aud
Into all manner of bines exciting the pas
sionate, displeasing the merry, vexing the pa
tient, irritating the choleric, provoking the
cross-grained, and chntliiir too sulky, by lis un
welcome contact, everything, somehow or
other, goes wrong on a rainy day; sonio screw
get loose in the machinery of the business
community, which causes a general clashing
together. Notes always fall due on rainv days,
and curious enough, cash'sometimes gives out.
Fires wont hum aud houses are smoked; every
thing is soaked or drizzled. It is ouucu a day
that "employers give vent to their spleen and
case their minds; and it Is either the oflice-boy
or chief clerk, and if not them, someioilier in
dividual who receives a speelul instalment of
exhortations and sundry warnings, as to gene
ral misconduct, highly magnified on a wet day.
There is only one thing which can dispel these
gloomy feelings, Jand that is sunshiny
weather, which seems to touch and light up the
heart of every individual with a genial dispo
sition. And the periodical glimmerings of
sunshine yesterday afternoon, although the air
was somewhat chilly, greeted all cheerfully.
Old and wise heads predicted that com
mencing on the ninth instant, we should have
a succession of twenty-two storms before the
close of the month; if it be true, we may
as well prepare ourselves for other visitations
of disugreeablo weather. The weather this
morning wns cold, but has somewhat mode
rated this noon; the sun is pleasantly shining,
With a more genial state of the atmosphere.
A Sap Case of Insanity asd a Tu.voedy.
About half-past oignt o'clock this morning a
terrible scene wns witnessed iu Filth street,
below Monroe, The wife of an cx-pollceman
and a constable In t he lower oart of the city,
whilst laboring under a tit of "insanity, seized
upon her child, a boy aged four and a half years,
and running up stairs into the second story,
threw him out of the window to the pavement
below. As soon as the frantic act was observed
some persons rushed up and secured the
woman, and at the same time everything was
done to relieve the poor child, who was insen
sible when picked up. Resides being badly
bruised, it was lnjuredjintornally, and it is pro
bablo that it will die. This family has met wltb
many terrible misfortunes in the last two years,
and this is believed to be the cause of rendering
the wife and mother In wane.
A Couple op Sneak-Thieves. Peter Wel
don and David Vallier, alias "Shorty," had a
hearing before Alderman TittPrmary last even
ing on a charge ot larceny. In the afternoon
they had made a raid upon the yards of Nos.
002, 601, and 600 South street, and had stolen a
ouantity of wash-clothes that were hanging on
the lines. The victims made complaint against
Weldon and Vallier, whonad been seen around
the premises, aud thev were arrested atSeventh
and Sbippen streets. They were committed to
answer the charge of larceny. Vallier. alias
.Shorty, is said to be a professional sueak-thlet,
and is well known to the police.
Innocent Amusement. William Wilson and
John Mcfiowan were arrested yesterday after
noon, at Tweuty-flrst and Chesnut streets, on a
charge of misdemeanor. They were Indulging
In the innocent amusement of throwing stones,
without regard to thedangerof striking passers
by, several of whom made narrow escapes of
being injured by tbe mlHsiles. This practice is
a thing ot almost dally occurreuco in that
neighborhood, and has become quite anulsanco.
The two had a hearing before Alderman Jones,
and were, after a hearing of the case, held iu
$300 bail to keep the peace.
A Handsome Testimonial. The "Associa
tion lor the Kelief of Disabled Firemen" has
gotten up a beautiful certificate of membership
to be presented to Fire Marshal Dlackburu.
The frame is a very elaborate piece of workman
ship. It is about three feet square, and besides
being ornamented with the insignia of the lire
men's craft, is surmounted by a steam lire
engine drawn by two horses, a hose carriage,
' aud a hand engine, all carved in very fine style.
' It is on exhibition iu the window of the store at
tbe southwest corner of Seventh and Chesnut
streets.
Judge ok tiie ScrRiiiiE Court. Considerable
feeling is manifested as to who shall be the
Judge of the Supreme (Jourt when that high
Josition is vacated by the present incumbent,
adge Woodward. The friends of ex-Governor
Pollock have put forward his name as a candi
date for that position, asserting that a more
appropriate selection could not be made. As
President Judge of the Northumberland dis
trict he gave full and complete satisfac
tion, aud received tbe hearty aoproval of the
community.

ilia Honor the Mayor, presided, and Richard
Wood and Thomas McClurg were appointed as
Soeietaries. The Mayor slated that the call was
Kuflicient to enlist the sympathies of all to
Whom It came,
Mr. John Welsh then oflered the following
resolutions lor the consideration ot tho meet
ing: Jie.wh ed, That the citizens of Philadelphia, in
town meeting assembled, are deeply con
cerned to hear that, by reason ot tho failure of
the crops and other causes, there Is a state of
famine prevailing through large portions of the
Southern .States. There Is cumulative evldeuce
to show that, many thous uids ot our country
men are at this time threatened with actual
starvation.
Jtexolved, That wo assure our fellow-citizens
of theHouth of our cordial sympathy In their
suffering, and we earnestly desire to aid in
mitigating the great calamity which has over
taken them,
Jiesolved, That, representing as we do a city
which a benign Providence has blessed with a
redundant prosperity, aud which, from the
days of William I'enn till now, has never
turned a denf ear to any apneal on behalf of
human suffering, we respectfully Invite our fel-low-citi.ens,
ol ull parlies, sects, and occupa
tions, to unite in a prompt and generous eflort
for the relief of ourfamlshiug brethren at the
South.
Jlcsolieil, That tho following named persons
are constituted a commiUeo to distribute
funds: Messrs. John Welsh, Judge William
Armstrong, George Whitney, Hev. Henry A,
ilonrdniau, J. Morris Wain, Morris J. Nowlin,
Krederlck Fraley and are charged with the
duty of appointing committees with a view of
carrying iutoelt'ecl tho general object of the
Heeling.
Hesmlved, That, for the purpose of securing a
Judicious and equitable distribution of sup
plies and donations, whether of money or pro
visions, they shall be applied under direction of
a committee of seven, to ba appointed by the
Chair; it hciiitr understood that those supplies
are desired for the relief of the people of the
.South, irrespective of all social, political, or
religious distinction.
Reiolred, That fie Mayor shall be an cxoQlaio
member of nil the Committees.
Jiesolved, That ve respectfully request tho
reverend clergy to bring this subject to the
notice of their several congregations at the
earliest opportunity, and, ou behalf of proper
committees, invite our citizens to send in their
contributions with the least possible delay.
Mr. Welsh desired to oiler these resolutions
in silence, as they snok or themselves.
Hev. Dr. BourJmau said that the sympathy
of the citizens of misciiy always went out to
thesulleriug of all people. Hut this appeal
comes from our own people bone of our bone
and llesh of our flesh who havo become our
own, and whose destiny must inseparably be
that ot our own.
it. linfl been said during tne late war mat this
nation was in its trial. It was; and It came out
safe. Secession was crushed; evil institutions
riut down; ana an sucu msiiiuuons wnicn were
tbe immediate cause of this war; but this has
been crushed and now we are one people; and
although they yet cherish hatred against us,
yet they are our peooie, auu w y mpauiize
with them in theirsutXerlng and will help them,
for they are our brethren.
One principal oojecv luuur icsuiuiauus is, inao
we Bhall observe no social, political, or reli
gious distinction, but will give our sympathies
and our help to alleviate theirgreat destitution
ami trials.
The nation Is now on its trial the great trial
which has been brought on by the influences
and the consequences or uie late civil strire;
for now that strife of arms has ceased, we mutt,
by brotherly influence, root out the hatred
which rankles in the bosom of our Southern
brethren.
We must Dnng uaca. uur urumers, remove
these alienations, uproot the evil opmions,
supplant all tue vicious leeuugs wnicn sur tne
bosoms of our brothers, thus becoming united
again into one people and one nation, Whau
IS niBEnBUlllniyiuii whu uhu cicitisc lb duep
tho conquerors? Is it not enough that the
cup of anguish and suffering is filled to over
flowing? I believe us a people they accept the results of
the war. What is the course you pursue to
recall a wandering son? Is it severity. You
know that will but only separate you further
from each other. It is only by kindness that
vou can ever hope to again reclaim your sou,
nnd should we not apply this same principle to
our erring brethren of the South?
If anvthing will conquer them, it is kind
ness. Our Interest, our destiny, are one with
theirs, and our prosperity is their prosperity.
We propose to minister relief to the people of
the South without distinction. Wo can only
conquer by humanity, and humanity is insepa
rable from religion.
Like Constantino, we must inscribe upon
our bauner "Inhocninhxn l inee'' "In this sign
M econquor." If we overpower the South with
kindness as we did vith arms, we shall be a
united nation with one destiny, and tnat on
whicti the light of the heavenly sun will shine
upon onr prosperity and happiness.
llev. I'hilips llrooks was the next speaker,
who remarked that the famines whicli have oc
curred at the South, brought on by the devas
tating war, and the peaee aud prosperity which
now l omes over us, find the slowest progress
in thefamished nnd desolated south. We must
allevittie the sufferings now at the South, and
open the way lo happiness, and remove as far
as possible theell'ectsof the ravages which have
taken place in the South.
l'.oth trie politician and merchant will wel
come this etliirt to alleviate suO'ering willopeu
his heart and make it amenable to all feelings
of need. It is little use to question how reeou
suuetion will be furthered by t bis effort, or
what will be the disposition of the South. Do
away with ull these vacillating questions, and
feePtlmt these people tiro famishing, and that is
sufficient to call forth the warmest sympathies
Of the heart.
New York has done mueh, but not enough, in
this respect. We must outstrip uer, gainer con
tributions and funds, all manner of supplies
to send to this people. This is way one to reach
their hearts, aud will be the surest means of a
right reconstruction, and a right sympathy of
h'ai't.
The remarks of Mr. LrooUs were nlnnunn;
earnest, ami stirring, eliciting henrty expres
sions from the audience at all its ref jrences.
Tue resolutions wore reud again and unani
mously adopted.
Mr. James Aertson was elected treasurer of

Tun lliviiit Ykstehhay and To-pay Arrival
OV TIIF. j IJ N 1 ATT A T II K HAVANA TRAPR.
Ihere wns much animation along the river
Iront yesterday, although the weather was
extremely tnw and unpleasant, chilling us, as
we threaded our way among the various vehi
cles employed In commercial transportation,
tf uite n larr;e number of vessels arrived, whi'e
u still larger number were in the act ol depar
ture. About 1 o'clock the steamer Iloman, C iptaln
linker, lioston lino, steamed in, nnd at 4 1'. M.
the Juniata was seen coming up. Tho word
Juniata drew at once a large number of specta
tors, for no small anxiety had been felt on
account of tho long absence of this vessel. At
4;. she was alongside the Sout hern Mail Steam
ship Company's wharf, where the scene was
quite enlivening. Voices of welcome aud
clasping of hands woro the order of the hour.
At 6 o'clock the Custom House olllcers came on
board, for the Juniata was the pioneer ship of
the line at Havana, and touching at a foreign
port, became, of course, an object of Custoui
J louse surveillance. Permission was obtained
to land passengers and baggage, which was
immediately done, and to unload tho vessel.
( m our vlsitlhls morning, we learned that her
wbolecnrgo was on shore, the Company work
ing all night. At 7 o'clock this morning she
commenced taking In freight, of which there is
even now on overplus. She will sail ou Satur
day afternoon.
The advent of the Juniata at Havana was a
perfect success. Captain Hoxlo informs us
that every attention and courtesy that could
ho nsked or expected was most gracefully
given by the Hnbuneros, who were delighted
with this new accession to their commerce of
three additional steamers, the Juniata, the
Star of the Union, and Tioga, now nearly ready
lor sen. Captain Hoxlo was detained at Ha
vana three days and a half in pel feeling ar
rangements for the future, and taking in
freight. The passage of the Juulatta from
Havana was made la four days aud eight
hours, wharf to wharf. On her return trip this
voyage she will brlngover the largest passenger
list that ever reached our wharves, as well as a
large amount of freight. Captain Hoxio de
scribes the voyage as charming, but the change,
was very great, the thermometer at Havana
being at one hundred, nnd at the Capes of the
Delaware less than fifty. This morniug it was
as low as twenty-two. The Touawanda is lying
very deep In the water, with a full cargo. She
will: sail for Savannah. Oa., to-morrow at
8 A. M.
Another Swindling Concern We have just
been shown the prospectus of another of those
swindling concerns that are deluging the coun
try with their pernicious; and false promises.
It is contained in an envelope, aud was sent to
a person in this city. It holds forth induce
ments to the unwary to send their fifty cents
for a settled envelope, which will tell them
which prize out of a list they will get. In order
to obtain this prize, they are requested to send
a further instalment of three dollars. Among
the so-called prizes is a gift of 810,000 in green
backs, a SGl'OO prize, a lot in Brooklyn grand
pianos, etc. etc. The circular also contains so
called endorsements from one or two Western
New Y'ork papers, aud also letters from dif
ferent persons who are reported to have been
lucky enough to draw prizes. Accompanying
the list -l prizes Is a llthographod letter, which
is worded in a very careful style to mislead, and
very tempting in its terms to those who wish
to become ugents for disseminating their
swindling schemes. The documents are dated
liereus, Sussex county, New Jersey, and our
citizens should take warning in time, aud not
be swindled by them.
Tub Inevitable First District. The office
of the Collector of Internal ltevenuo for the
First District was upside-down again this
morning. Mr. CJeorge Kelley, who was re
cently appointed Acting Collector by the inevi
table Sloauuker, revoked all tno appoint
ments of the deputies from him as acting depu
ties, to date from March 15, and they are up
pointed clerks. Kx-Governor and Kx-Collector
of the Port Johnston has been nppointed Chief
Deputy of the otllce, to date from March 15.
Wilson liuckley, Esq,, another Deputy Colleo
tor, had his appointment revoked with the
others, but was reappointed again. At present
there are two deputies in the office Ex-Governor
Johnston and Buckley.
A Deputy Commissioner arrived from Wash
ington yesterday, lo examine into the manage
ment of the ofliee. We have no information
as to the conclusion to which he has arrived in
reference to tho matter. Governor Johnston
has been duly installed as the Acting Collector
of the First District.
Tue Collectorbhip of the Tort Sn all
Colonel William B. Thomas nr. Ue
ai'I'ointkp? We mentioned yesterday that
the reappointment of Colonel William B.
Thomas to the vacancy in the Custom House
was being urged by several prominent and
influential gentlemen, who had at heart only
the business interests of the community. This
movement is raDldly gaining ground, and
to-morrow at noon there will be held, at the
rooms of the Corn Exchange Association, a
meeting of the merchants who are favorablo to
it. Politics will bo entirely eschewed on this
occasion, and all those who are interested in
the honest administration of the Custom House
allairs, aud have the prosperity of the city, in
a business point of view, at heart, are invited
and expected to be present, without any regard
to their rival theories on reconstruction.
A MiFfniEVOrB 1'akty. teorge Ward, Ed
ward Pollard, Maurice Lewis, and Andrew Mor-
rissey were arrested near the uising sun village
last evening, on a charge ot larceny. There
was a church exhibition going on in a hall at
that place, and the four young men had got
underneath the platform anil mauaged to steal
a basket of flowers by reaching up through a
broken space in the flooring. The basket In
question was valued at about seven dollars, and
as it was a principal feature in a part of the
exhibition, its loss threw the entire arrauge

to be stooped. I he culprits nau a Hearing be

Mr. Sbenan (Ohio) thought It oughth to be a Joint

as to the public linpiesalou upon the subject of the
duplication of United Slates bonds. There was au
Impression that a large number of bonds had been
duplicated, and that the Government had lost a great
deal in Uils way. This was erroneous.
He was authorized say that in no case had a dupli
cation been discovered. In a few Instances it had
been discovered ttiHttbesame number bad been, by
mistake, put upon two bonds. In all the cases of pre
sumed duplication, nothing had been discovered but
erroneous stamping. Tbe amoudt of tbe bonds thus)
erroneously stamped was tlii.ooo.
