Hall, Formerly of this city. Our readers will be pained to learn of the decease of the Rev. William 8. Ha l, D. D., Who was formei ly pastor of the North Baptist Church, and also of the Knon Baptist Church, of thlk c'ty. Dr. Hall died on tne evening of tbe Slh Instant, at his late residence in White Deer Valley, Union county, Pennsylvania, being at the time about nfly-efcht years of age. Dr. Hall was well known throughout this btate, which has seldom been blessed by the labors of a more earnest and efficient minister of the Gospel. Durlnz tbe recent war he was especially prominent, on account of the hearti ness with which be entered Into every mea sure which tended to advance the national cause. He did not belong to that over-fastidious class who ignore politics In the pulpit when .the safely of the nation and a great moral Issue are at state. He also did great service as President of the Twentieth Ward Bounty Fund, and gave two sons to the service of the coun try, one of them perishing at his post in the Ai my of the Potomac, during the campaign of 1863. But One Session a Day. Yesterday, at tho meeting of tbe Board of School Control, the question of having but one session a day In all our public schools during tbe hot season occu pied considerable attention, and was freely dis cussed. The following resolution was finally adopted: Mesolved, That on and after June 13, until the Bum xner vacation, one sesslou of four boon' duration (from US to J!'i o'olock) be held daily in all the schools of this district. This Is a movement which will no doubt be tern illy acqulesoed lu by two Important classes of tho community tho scholars, who, freed from the drudgery of study during the swelter ing afternoons, will return with greater avidity to their books in the morning, and the teachers will for a time be relieved of that treadmill occupation which knows no variation from clawu to dark through the long terms. Strawberries. This luscious fruit is now quite plentiful In the market, and has been sold as low as twenty cents a quart. The strawberry vines have been finely developed by the wet spring, and the present warmth of the sun's rays is all that Is needed to bring it to fall ma turity. We were shown this morning some magnificent specimens of the "Agriculturist" variety, which were grown by Messrs, T. 8. and K. O. Fletcher, at Delanco, New Jersey. This variety already grow very large, many of the berries being fully seven Inches In circum ference, and weighing over oneounoe each. The attention of these gentlemen heretofore has been directed to the propagation of the plant, but hereafter they will endeavor to increase its size, as well, and hope soon to be able to dispose of the "Agriculturist" berries by dozens, us Is UUW UUUB WAm I'rqiB.

This afternoon there will be Knottier gala time upon the Schuylkill, and from tbe Immensenumberof persons who were preiveril to witness the races on Monday last, It Is to be presumed that the I'ark and the sur round In rh will ngaln be overwhelmed by a nrrry crowd of eager spectator. The first race will take place at 5 o'clock, the competition being between the four-oarod gunwnle barges undine, of the Undine Club, and Stranger, of the Pennsylvania Club. This will be followed, at a quarter beforefl, by a contest between the double sculls Uar.clle, of the linchclors' Club: Bertha, of the Quaker City Club; Fawn, of the Undine Club; Viola, of the Pennsylvania Club; and Malta, of the Malta Club. Tne prl7.es placed in competition consist of beautiful and appropriate lings, which will bo awarded to the victors by the Naval Board. The preparations for tho grand finale of the races, which takes place at half-past 4 o'clock on Saturduy afternoon, are actively progressing. At that hour there will be a contest between single sculls, or skeleton-boats. This will be followed, at 5 o'clock, by what has always proved the most exciting raco of the season on the Schuylkill. It will he participated In by the second-class six-oared boats Atlanta, of the Undine Club; Kaugh-a-Hallagh, of the Phila delphia Club; and Hiawatha, of the Malta Club. The day will close with a contest between the four-oared outrigger barges Cygnet, of the Quaker City Club; Lotus, of the Bachelor's Club; and Onward, of the Neptune Club. Great Interest will be added to this occasion by the presence of the elghl-oared barge Excel sior, of the famous Atlanta Club of New York city. This boat left the headquarters of the Atlanta Club, at the foot of Christopher street, New York, at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. Their route to this city lies through the Uaritan and Delaware Canal, and It Is expected that they will reach their destination on Thursday afternoon. Previous to the start, a pleasant social reunion took place at the boat house. A large number of the boating fraternity, in cluding Mr. Benjamin F. Brady, President of the Hudson KiverAniateur Rowing Association being present. The Excelsior was escorted on its way by several boats of tho abovu-named Association, including those of the Oullck, Columbia, and Waverly Clubs. The Excelsior Is manned by the following gentlemen: A. 8. Swan, bow George Poahr, stroke; J. Ogden, coxswain- H. Bproul, J. If. Lindsey, L. Water bury, W. M. Haddock, A. It. Haddock, and A. Knapp. Tbe President of the Club, David Banks, Jr., accompanies thorn on their trip. The Atlanta Boat Club, to which the Excel sior belongs, Is the oldest association of the kind now in exlstenoo In this country, having been organized in May. 1848. Since that time. their organization has been maintained In a manner highly creditable to themselves, and to tbe boating fraternity as well. The walls of their boat-house are adorned by numerous tro- fihlcs which testify to their skill in handling he oars. The following are the present ofllcers of the Club: President, David Banks, Jr.; Vio President, W. O. Maluland ; Secretary, J. W. Edwards; Treasurer, Charles Dovoe. We hope that the crew of the Excelsior will be given such a reception as is their due by rea son of their boating fame, and one that will not shame the hospitality of Philadelphia.

An old German, who has seen the beltertmrl of his seventy-seventh year, named John Martern, resides on Brandy- wine Btreet, aoove miteeum. yesterday morn ing he went to the house of a neighbor, and lounu toe mistress engaged in washing and cleaning up. After restiug a short time, he suggested to the lady that much trouble could be saved ber by allowing mm (Martern) to take the children two little girls, one eight and th other twelve years old, and a baby out walk ing. Leave was reauuy granteu.anu the trio left, Martern drawing the smallest In a baby's coach. They stepped Into the grove back of the Monument Cemetery. Here tue old reprobate, by enticing the little girls with the promise of pennies, committed great outrages. Otllcer Westline, of the Twelfth District, passing by and witnessing the transaction, took Martern In custody, and placed him under lock and key nnlil morning, when Alderman Fltoh com mitted him to answer at Court In default of 81500 ball. The Addition to Fairmount Parr. The area of ground, with the Improvements, bounded on the northeast by the Heading Kailroad, on the southwest by the Schuylkill river, and lying between the Water Works and Lemon Hill, is necessary to complete the symmetry of the Park. An ordinance was passed so long ago as In the spring of 18(il for its selection, and ajury chosen in December of that year to assess the damages. That jury, it will be rembered, gave awards to tbe amount of 8185,000 and upwards. To their report exceptions were filed, which were sustaiued by a mass of testimony takeu during the summer of 1860 by Judge Brewster, then City Solicitor, and Mr. Nichols, the present First Assistant Solicitor. The report of this Jury was consequently set aside by the Court, April 17, 1807. A petition for a new Jury was presented to the Court, and they have been ap pointed, as follows: William Neal, Henry C. Lea, Charles Macalester, Daniel M. Fox. Wil liam B. Thomas, and T. Livingston Erringer. A better selection of names could not be made, and the people of Philadelphia can rest assured that Just and equitable awards will be given by them. Anniversary and Concert op a Juvenile Missionary Society. The Broad and Brown Street Baptist Churcn was well filled last night, on the twenty-second anniversary of the Juve nile Missionary Society. The church was hand somely decorated with a number of religious and patriotic emblems. The presentation of the missionary offering was the gem of the evening, the scholars presenting the Pastor, Mr. Henson, Mr. O. P. Farmer, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Fearing, ana Mr. Brown with scares of bouquets and baskets of flowers, and most all the teachers were sur prised in the same mauner. Many sweet Utile hymns were sung by the little ones. A young lady scholar, who was sick and could not attend, was the recipient of a handsome bouquet. The good old hymn of "Greenland's Ioy Mouu talns"wassung by the whole audience with good eil'ect, and an uddrohS by Master Stelnmetz w is given in good style. After singing "Tho Lon Ciood Night," the pastor pronounced the Bene diction, and at half-past 10 o'clock the party dispersed, well pleased with tho happy remem brances of the Juvenile Missionary Society. Absaclt and Bat tery with Intent to Kill. Margaret Elliott and Charles Francis, two noted characters residing at No. UK) Briar plane, were before Kecorder Eneu tills morulnu, charged with committing an assault and bat tery on and attempting to killacolored womxn named Kody Uoblnson.

This morning he will continue bis visitations, and at tbe La Pierre House tills evening, in company with his wife, will be pleased to receive his friends. A Fire, with Littlb Loss. About half-past I o'clock this afternoon, a great rushing of people to tbe vicinity of Front and Shlppon streets, and tbe vociferous yelllngs of old and young, proclaimed that a conflagration was in progress in that neighborhood. It was dis covered to have originated by the bursting of a whisky still, belonging to Mr. Sheridan, In a large brick building on South Front street, two doors above Shippen. With the exception of a small loss of half distilled spirits, and charred timbers, no great damage win done. Stolh a Still. Some person or persona to the authorities or parties concerned unknown, last night Jumped on a fence, and Into the yard of the tavern kept by Mrs. McElwee. at Twenty third and South streets. The object to be ob tained by such a movement was an old still then out of service, and lying in state in the corner of the yard. It was valued at $133. How It was stolen, and taken over the high fence without attracting attention, Is yet Involved In the greatest mystery. A Cry op Murder resounded through the nelgl borhood of Noble and Fourth streets, raid the darkness of last night. An investigation Into the cause thereof, proved that one Georgo Itaivolt, lu a persevering and energetic man ner worthy of a better cause, was beating bis wlfo, whose screams for help deterred him not one whit.

We have seen it stated that bis expense for advor ttslPL' for the year 18ti8 will not fall short of 81 jO.W.0. He has the utmost faith in its benefits, or he would not venture such a fortune, which to many, seems like "throwing money to tho winds;" but far diflerent with him. He says he kuows he will reap his money buok, with more added. Advertisers and all others should give this suggestion a thought. N. V. Daily Times. Economy is Wealth.

One can hardly pick op a newspaper or turn a street corner nowadays that he does not And, staring him In the face, the announcement that Professor Ho and-so basjust discovered a raedloine whloh is a panacea for all the Ills that flesh Is or may be heir to. These "wonderful" discoveries usually have an existence of a few montht, then disappear from publlo notice. The reason of vJielr sudden extinguishment Is apparent. They Werb humbugs. At the ontsot all medicinal preparai'ons have an equal chance for success, aa all are equally unknown; but the chaff is soon winnowed rom the grain by the practical test which an unprejudiced publlo applies to all things. There are but few preparations of me dicine which have withstood the Impartial Judgment of the people for any length of time. One of the few which we have now In mind, and which has been a long time familiar to nearly every household In the land, Is the cele brated IIOSTETTER'S 8TOMACII BlTTERS . Their almost universal sale and use, and their era phatlo endorsement from all portions of the country, compel the admission that they must be a specific for the ailments for which they are recommended. Letters before us attest their efficacy In diseases of the throat, bowels, and liver. In that truly terrible complaint, dys pepsia, they are regarded as a sure cure. In Pittsburg, where these Bitters are manufac tured, their sale for home use is Immense. This fact alone speaks volumes In their favor. Extracts from the Muscatine Courier, Iowa, Febru ary 7, lStfT.
