BUSINESS NOTICES.
ruii.Ai.Mf HiA, Nov. it, Isfi7.-Ata meeting of tbe
esldents of Broad street, held lost evening. It wu
narlmntiaty
Bemtvrd, That statements made in an editorial ol
the North American of Ne". la, 187, art In every par
ticular Incorrect (In tnlitake, probably), tbat tbe
Widening of (be footways does not diminish, but doe,
on the contrary. Increase tbe original cost and es
pouse to the property owners
Jtemlvrd, Tbat our chief aim la to embellish and
beautlly our street.
SrvXvrd, That we never had. and have not now. any
Intention of encroaching on tbe extended lootway.
Rrtolvtd, Tbat we do believe the opposition gotten
op to derpat Ibis Improvement or our favorite drive
and promenade Is but a forerunner of an effort which
will be made the coming wluter to ruin It by a doable
rack boise railroad.
Now, Mr. Editor, In passing and publishing these
resolutions we make no charge against bis Honor
the Mayor, but In defense of the charge of selfishness
brought agalnslut by tbe writer of tbe aforesaid arti
cle, and to show the honesty of our purposes to our
fellow-clllr.ens. We do believe, from the absence of
all arfcuiupnt In his Ilonor's veto sent to Common
Courcll, there exists a power behind the throne
Which tu us has proved Irresistible; or why should be
refuse tbe petition of every property-holder on Broad
street T why disregard the request of bis fellow-cltl-eens
who crowd that thoroughfare not only on Sun
day, but ou every pleasant afternoo T It Is ridiculous
say to that It will Interfere with the future Improve
ment or the street.
ptand on the corner of Broad and Poplar streets,
and look north; at this point commences the narrow
lug, and you see nothing but one long stretch of pala
tial residences, a beautllul avenue of trees, and all the
evidences of future magnificence. Now look south;
here the street widens, and what see yon, with few
exceptions, but mills, factories, blacksmith shorn,
coal aud lumber yards? Now, Mr. Editor, all we
want, and we are supported by nine-tenths ofoui
fellow-cltlr.ens, Is permission to carry out and perfect
ur original design.

A Card to Sknsibdi.e Peoplb. Rational reader,
If the aspect of tbe weather was uncertain, you would
not be foolish enough to venture out wltbout an over-
X coat or aoiumbrella. Have the forecast, then.to protect
1 ' vnurnelf at thla daneernna season with something
more Important than either these articles. Strengthen
your stomach and nervous system; regulate your
liver and your bowels; tone all your organs, and
cheer your animal spirits wltb that agreeable eordlal,
tonlo, and alterative, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Bo shall you surely escape the diseases which fasten
upon the feeble and debilitated. "Suffer and be
Strong," lays the proverb; but "Be strong tbat you
may not suffer," la the wlstr maxim, and of all
Strengthening preparations this Is the safest, tbe
surest, the most genial. As a remedy, as well as an
antidote, for dyspepsia, fever and ague, and liver dis
eases, there Is no combination of vegetable specifics
at present known which even approaches It In effi
cacy. Anticipate the enemy. The elements of Innumer
able diseases are afloat In this raw, damp, mephltlo
Winter air. Will you defend yourself against them or
not, good roader T That Is tbe question. A bottle or
two of tbe great defensive medicine ot the age, Hos
tetter's Bitters, will so strengthen and brace up your
bodily powers as to enable them to "laugh a siege to
scorn." Tbe morbid matter which was exhaled In
V perspiration through your pores In summer finds no
1 such free egress now. A powerful counteracting
I ageut is therefore needed, and you have It In Hos-
tetter's Bitters. They neutralize tbe materiel morhl
from which disease originate, and regulate all the
secretive organs. Nothing can be more harmless or
more healthful nothing so potent to prerentorcure
biliousness, dyspepsia, lever and ague, constipation,
and general debility, as this wonderlul corrective.

Thakksoivino Day. By official appointment
to-morrow will be celebrated as a National
Thanksgiving Day, on whioU the people
throughout tbe country are requested to ab-r-taln
irom all tbelr usual labors, and to dovote
tbeiiieelvcs to returning thanks to the "(Jiver
of nil good gilts" for past aud present prosperity
and peace. In our own city tbe day will be uui
verttaHy observed. Work in all our manufao
torlea and in all our commercial houses will
ceatse for tbe time being, and the majority of
our stores will be closed. Not only la it a day
of thanksgiving, but also a day for rest, and In
this latter respect it will be greeted by a large
army of hard workers In our city, and as a
sboit release from constant, unchanging
toll, will be balled by them as a relief uiOHt
opportune. Need we speak of the fond antici
pations ot this, the first of the winter holidays;
of thanksgiving gatherings of old friends and
relations: or of thanksgiving turkeys with
their concomitants of viands and sweetmeats
and delicious pastry, or of the thanksgiving
parlies and sociables for the young, or of the
joy t tbe Inmates of benevolent Institutions,
who for once will have a pleasure hardly
known to their constant, weary rontine of lire?
But may we not say tbat there are some, may
many, wno win carry a weignt or sorrow oa
this Thanksgiving Day, and leel that It belles
Us name?
There will be hundreds of poor to stand idly
In tbe street or stare through windows, with
longing looks at the array of Thanksgiving
dalaties, trying to satisfy their physical wants
by gratifying their visions, who will have to
turn aside in the sorrow of their extreme
poverty to solace themselves as best possible
with a erust, or with some little article the
purchase of which had entirely cleared tbelr
meagre coffer. But this Is the dark side of the
picture, and will be so on every anniversary
day. Our kind citizens are doing as much as
can be done by them to feed the poor. Our
fcoup Hecletles will deal out good, wholesome
soup and bread, and our benevolent lnstlta
tious are all preparing great Thanksgiving
d Inters lor tbelr inmates.
At the Soldiers' Home, on Elxteenth street,
above Filbert, tbe ladles have prepared a feast
for the brave, disabled inmates of that institu
tion. And we are requested to state that dona
tions of poultry, cranberries, and all tbe little
necessaries without which such a dinner would
be Incomplete, are requested, and will be thank
fully ie eived by a committee at tbe Home.
A substantial Thanksgiving dinner is to be
given to tbe occupants of tbe "Home for the
Aged and Infirm of the M. K. Church," at Tenth
and Poplar streets. Donations of poultry,
groceries, and other suitable provisions are
asked for.
The "Home for Little Wanderers," at Tenth
and Shlppen e tree's, will also be the scene of a
Thanksgiving Jubilee, wherein the little ones
will have a time of rejoicing for the return of so
good a holiday.
Bishop Stevens, of the Episcopal Diooese of
Pennsylvania, In his Thanksgiving announce

It beirays a depraved and selfish nature to receive

yet render no thanks for these benefits to Him who Is
the Author ol every ood and perfect gift. And on
the other band, it greatly adds to our eDjoymeut of
the biesnlngs which God gives us when we learn to
recognize the source whenoe tbey spring, and to kiss

aie making preparations on the most extensive
scale. The new companies are rapidly tilling
up, and it Is expected that a full regiment will

A Philadelphia Sculptoh. The London
Time, of a recent date, has the following
flattering notice of a rising young sculptor
who is a native of this city
"Those who go to Florence will do well to pay a
visit to tbe studio of a young sculptor there, named
Connelly, who. Judging from what he has already
done, gives promise or a very rare order or excel
lence in his art He Is, we understand, not above 26,
an American by birth, but educated In this country,
at Marlborough College, and was Intended for an
engineer, but, abandoning that profession in favor of
palnllug, tor which be bad a strong natural talent, he
underwent a coure of severe anatomical and other
studies at Dusseldorf, and subsequently In Paris,
whence be went to Florence, Intending to finish them
there, w) ere. however, be made the acquaintance of
bis eminent fellow-countryman, Hiram Powers, who,
on Beelrg his llrst attempt at modelling, strougly
urged him to abandon palnllug and devote blmseir to
sculpture, wh en he at once did, Powers generously
giving blm from time to timesuch Instruction as he
saw he needed, and taking the liveliest Interest In
bis progress. Tbe result was, that before he had
worked at bis new profession two years be bad
modelled an Ideal bust or Shakespeare's Cordelia, for
which, when subsequently produced by him In
marble, he readily obtained one hundred guineas,
and oiders for two "copies or It at the same price.
He has, we understand, been equally successful with
his Ukenesaes In busts and with figures."
Tub CnrRCH op the Tkansfioubation. of
which the Rev. Robert Paul Is rector, is labor
ing zealously to redeem the southern section
of the city. A new aud very eligible lot lias
been secured at the southwest corner of Broad
and Reed streets, and thereon It is proposed to
erect a chapel. For this purpose the congrega
tion will need $10,000, and they make an urgent
appeal to tbe Christian public for aid. With
the View of forwarding their praiseworthy en
terprise, a very attractive entertainment will
be given this evening at the Assembly Build
ings, at tbe corner of Tenth and Chesnut streets.
The programme combines the features of a
iehtival and l nose of a concert, while addressos
by the Rev. Drs. Rudder and Howe, and other
prominent divines, will vary tbe occasion.
Several of the most accomplished amateur
singers and pianists of the city will be present,
and tbe musical portton of tbe programme
will nndonbtedly prove very attraotlve.
IIekey Vincent's Lbcdcbe last evening was
an entire success. The well-known abilities of
this brilliant English orator served to draw out
to his lecture a large audience, who manifested
tbelr appreciation of his efforts In great enthu
siasm. Ills subject was the Life, Character, aud
Writings of John Milton. He brought forward
the more prominent characteristics of Milton
In language beautiful and comprehensive, and
those who beard him obtained a far deeper In
sight into tbe true history of tbe poet than
could be obtained from the most accurate
blograpby. Mr. Vincent la a leotnrer of rare
power, and we would advise those who enjoy
an Intellectual banquet to attend his next lec
ture, at Concert Hall, on to-morrow evening,
When he discourses on "Garibaldi."

After tha return of Colonel William P. Wood
With the electrotype plates for printing; the
face, bach:, and tints of the spurious f ItOO stevau
tblrty notes, It was questioned whether these
spurious Issues had been prluted from these
electrotype plates or from steel plutes. This
doobt lias been dispelled. After a careful com
parison and examination by experts, no doubt
remains tbat tha spurious notes were printed
from tbe Identical plates now In the possession

Chief Justice Chase declined to attend tbe

tbat his duties here, being of prior Importance,
required blsnndlvidedattontlon. Hoconslders
it not the duty of the Chief Justice to preside
over the Circuit Courts. As Is known, he was
willing lo attend In May last, and Is still ready
to preside when It can be done without Inter
