JoratulM yo upon tho uoceH which has attended
JnrnloSaion 1. one which calls for ItWston
riiulilion. tiongvntulatinn on our part, that, by your un
l.nna aid the mind of the community has been directed to
i nilnner'appnww'ion of that humanity which, while it
-As to alleviate the condition of fallen man, anticipates
the want of the brute creation in staying the hands of
Uwkleiw cruelty by the strong arm of the law, and pro
viding fountains along our highways where they may drink
long dranghta of cooling water during the continuous
fcbora of the day. Congratulation! on your part that your
own personal efforts have been seconded by a society of
lad ms and gentlemen who have given practical utility to
thought by the erection of a beautiful fountain in our city,
from which tho pure stream of water flows that, will refresh
the fainting traveller and make glad the poor beast, who,
though mute, h a language of thankfulness which speaks
tmi (he eye, and which, to the good and merciful master,
is so easy of interpretation.
The practicability of the object In which yonr efforts are
enlisted commends itself to our entire community. A
eneroua liberality has distinguished many of our citizens
hi lb furtherance of great enterprises which are in every
way . orthy ; bnt why, in providing for the destitute and
the homeless, should we forget an object so worthy as that
wnioh seeks to have always near at hand fountains of pure
water, where the beast can be refreshed and tired man
take his thirst
II the tail of a sparrow escnpes not the eye of the
Almighty, and the cattle upon a thousand hills are His,
why should we who are but -mortals refuse to enlist our
energies in a cause so praiseworthy!? I hope to-night, sir.
Is but the beginning of good things, and that throughout
the length and breadth of our city these fountains may be
distributed. I trust that a generous rivalry will crowd the
bet of donors, whose names, inscribed upon granite,
will be banded down to posterity.
I congratulate you, sir, and the society over which you
preside. Surely there is every reason for great encourage
ment. You have enlisted in your behalf fair ladies whose
irentle natures feel for suffering humanity, and who, what
ever their hands find to do, do it with their might. May
your efforts be crowned with success, and may you live to
ireaUae the fulfilment of the truth of the inscription so
suggestive of the object of your society: "Let thy foun
tains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the
Btreets"
Pr. Swann replied as follows
Xudlow, Ladies and Gentlemen To say that T am
Vvatif c dby this visit and complimentary address, would be
very Inadequate expression of my feelings. 1 assure you,
air, that I have listened to your remarks with more than
Miliary interest, and thank you, in the name of the society
I have the honor to represent, for the cordial sympathy
ad support which you hare so feelingly and generously
expressed in your address.
In easting our eyes over the extended area of this great
and growing city, with its population of over 7W,0U0 inhabi
tant!, we cannot but feel impressed with the ample pro
vieion that Providence lias made for lt prosperity and hap
piness, and we should not, by any neglect of ours, permit
these benefits to slumber unimproved, without an effort to
bring them within the reach of all for whom they were
intended.
It must be admitted that one of the greatest and most
dispensable blessings that can be conferred hjmki a com
munity is an abundant supply of water, and although we
enjoy this advantage to its fullest extent at our residences
and public institutions, yet we cannot be unmindful of the
foot that no provision has at any time been made for the
thirsty and tired laboror, and the animals under his care,
while promoting the commerce and business operat ions of
our eity.
During the hot months of summer, the suffering caused
toy the absence of water in onr streets is beyond descrip
tion, and those who have been unavoidably detained in
town at this sultry season of the year have, no doubt, like
myself, witnessed, with painful emotions, the exhausted
horse struggling with his heavy burden over our rough
pavements; his breathing fast and hard, and his limbs
naduaily becoming weuker and weaker, until at last he
fall to the ground, a victim of what we call cruelty and
oppression.
TCn many instanoes this may, no doubt, be true, but the
responsibility falls not alone upon the persons having these
animals under their care, for they are often in us suffering
a condition as the poor beasts they drive. The wheels of
business and trade are not under their control, and can
not be stopped by heat or cold, and those interested
in its onward progress should provide suoh means as
will lighten their labor and afford refreshment to all en
waged in it.
It is the intention of the officers of the Philadelphia
Fountain Society to remedy this evil, and to distribute
along the streets and public thoroughfares fountains and
troughs where both man and beast may refresh themselves,
Md recover their exhausted energies. But in the
execution of this great work, involving so large an
expenditure of money and labor, the officers ' of the
society expect the hearty co-operation and support of
their fellow-citizens, trratiiiK to tuvlf on intaUi-
eence and practical knowledge to calculate the benefits,
oth to the tleuith and morals, that must result from so
liberal a Supply of water during the summer months to the
Wf.'.bg classes of our people.
. " This society, although tiie first movement of the kind
that has so far been inaugurated in this country, is not an
original idea. In London a siniihir association was formed
Home years ago, having among its officers some of the most
influential and respectable gentlemen of thHt great city,
who with laudable zeal and enterprise undertook the work
of soliciting contributions, und druwing to their embrace a
large number of subscribers.
I need not say that the enterprise met with universal ap
probation, and the society, according to a recent report,
has erected one hundred and seventeen fountains und
ninety-nine troughs, and although d ispersed and spread over
an area of one hundred square miles, und subject to the in
jury tlirough thoughtless mischief, wilful malevolence, und
unavoidable aocident, to which such structures are every
day liable, no injury has yet fieen sustained by any one of
them, showing conclusively how universally the objects of
the society are uppreciirted by a grateful community.
At one of these fountains two thousand persons were
aeen to drink in five hours. At unother in Bishopsgate
nearly seven thousand drank in a single dny, and lit the
Royal Bxchango, where three jets are constantly flowing,
more than eight thousand have been known to drink in
the same space of time. If these three fountuins which I
have mentioned afford relief to more than seveuteen
thousand thirsty people iu one day, how great must be the
benefit bestowed upon the aggregate number who report
to these fountains in other parts of London!
Let us then emulate our transatlantic brethren in this
noble work. Let us bring into more general use the waters
of the Schuylkill. The same spirit of enterprise w hich di
rected our forefathers in their efforts to raise that limpid
lit ream from its sandy bed, and send it in -copious currents
through the gilded halls of luxury and ease, will ulJ aid fu
in bringing the same to our fountains, where the weary and
overheated laborer and his hulf-fumished aniuiul may fin
relief, and return to their toil with renewed life and vigor.
Lotus eall upon our benevolent and Christian associu
tkins who are laboring to elevate the moral condition of
their fellow-man, und to bring him to a proper understand
ing ef his spiritual accountability, and tell them that the
most dangerous enemy to virtue is often fouud in Thirst,
driving the thoughtless victim to places of debuuch, where,
n the social converse of others, indulgence, oft repeated,
paves the way to habits of intemperance und all the evils
that follow in its- withering train; and, finally, let us
invoke all our fellow-citizenc, of every' denomination and
orced all who love order, good government, and a virtuous
life to come to our uid, and snxtuin us with their means,
their influence, and personal efforts In currying out the ob
jecU we have in view.
The officers of our sooiety ask no compensation for ttooir
labor, and will receive none. Their motive is solely phi.
lanthropio, and, a such, they confidently appeal to the
friends of humanity to aid them in their meritorious
work. Bo far they nave received the liberal encourage,
nientof a large number of their fellow-citizens, mum of
whom have not only become members of the societv, but
have authorized fountains to be erected at their on ex
pense. I thank you again for this visit und complimentary
address.

haps one of the most pleasant duties of a Jouruulist,
in any city or town, is to record evidences ol the
march of Improvement around him. Of laic i'liilu
kjlplila has been extremely rapid In her progress, -not
only In stretching away for squares blocks of
new buildinKS, but also in tearing down business
Klitiees from sites already comparatively improved,
and erecting In their stead structures handsome,
ornate, or massive. These improvement have all
been carefully noted, and now again the grateful
task is ours to score oue more In the already lengthy
lint.
For some time past the old, steady, and well-known
banking firm of Messrs. Klllott k Dunn have had in
course of construction a new Banking House, on
Third street, below Chcsnut, directly opposite Tun
venino Tklkuiupii orltoe. A few days since It
received the last finishing touches, and yesterday was
ccupiud by tho arm.
This attractive lutlc building in In the Franoo
ttallan atyl. moderately oni. It is eighteen feet
wide by fifty tjf. deep, ftiui two H!orie jji tieigtit.
The front In egectiled in marble, neiected frotl the
Manchester quarries. Tho body of tho building In of
brick. Thnflrstor principal "lory ha-? a cornice ap
propriate to tho style, supported on ornamental
brackets, connected at their springing by a well
denned Btring-courso. Immediately over . this
cornice rest tho window plinths of
the second story. And the whole
frontispiece is crowned by a highly ornate chief cor
nico of elegant proportions, tastefully adorned with
boldly carved rosettes. Tho centre of this cornlc-e
has a graceful segment-broken pediment, with fluial
In perfect keeping with It, as a finish to the whole,
having its tympanum ornamented, with a circular
cenirei ana two sm &nfiftl;Hr panoU neatly snnk
moulded. The principal story, devoted wholly to the
bank, is of easy access, being brit one step abgvft the
side-walk. . Its front Is divided li;U) three open
ings, namely window and two doors,
the rormer ten feet Six Inches high, and thd two lat
ter thirteen leet six Inches; all three are Ave feet
wide, capped with elliptic heads, and have a broad
rosetted band-moulding continued ronnd the whole
of each opening. The spandrels have a well-defined
shield ornament raised on each. The second story
has three ornamental blocked antm, with long sunk
panels between the blocks, dlvidlngthe front Into
two sections, each having a window three feet six
Inches wide by ten feet high, scmi-clrcnlar headed,
and completely surrounded with a blocked Ivand
flnlsh, with a highly wrought, boldlv-ralsed keystone
and supports sunk-panelled (as are all the
blocks), and Tpresenting a richness of effect
with appropriate strength. Tho spandrels In
this story have large rose ornaments raised on them.
The under part of the facife forming the caps of the
sections Is Indented and carved appropriately, having
drops at regular intervals. Two highly enriched
consoles finish the cornice on each end of the front,
the caps or blocks of which havo carved wreaths on
them. The doors and window sashes are of polished
walnut; the glass, best French plate, in single
sheets. The first story, fourteen feet four Inches
high, occupied as the fiscal department of the bank,
Is ki one room, with a private stair leading to the
vaults In the cellar, and a stairway rising to the apart
ments in the second storv. The first story or bank
otllcc Is lighted In the rear by a skylight. The second
story Is twelve feet six Inches high, divided into two
apartments, together with dressing-room and water
closet, and is lighted in the rear by three windows.
The building is heated by hot-air generated from a
furnace In the cellar, and carried to the flues by tin
ilpe;and the gas through terra-cotta pipe. The
icatlng flues rise In the second story the height of a
table, and are covered with marble slatrn. The roof
is covered with tin and painted. This bank building,
as finished, goes to prove how much may lie done iu
a small space, without at all crowding the front with
apparently extraneous embellishment.
Its architect was Mr. Samuel Hloan ; the marble
work was done bv Mr. William Armstrong; the car
pentering work by Messrs. Cook A Furman; the
cabinet work and fixtures by Messrs. Kemp A Gar
rison; and the gas-fixtures were put In by Messrs.
Mlskey, Merrill A Thackara.
It is sincerely to lie hoped that the business of tho
firm will be largely Increased with their removal to
the new location.

lows. a banquet In commemoration of the semi
centennial of Odd Fellowship was given last night
by the Green Hill Lodge, I. O. of O. F., at the Corn
Exchange notel, Second street, above Walnut, when
the company, some 850 gentlemen, sat down to dis
cuss the good things so bountifully provided, and the
atfair passed off in the most pleasant and spirited
manner. W. P. Gallagher, Noble Grand of the
Green Hill Lodge, presided, assisted by Vice Grand
W. Lewis. The Treasurer of the organization, T. M.
Henderson, and W. n. H. Porter were also present.
Wit, song, and sentiment were the order of the even
ing, and titc festivities were kept up till a late hour.
Mr. James D. Whetham, the oldest member of the
lodge, in response to a toast to Odd Fellowship, gave
an interesting history of the Order, interspersed with
reminiscences of the Green Hill Lodge, which he
said was instituted In 18fi6, aud at the present time
numbers exactly ono hundred members, Mr. Wm.
Gaus followed In a verv neat speech, in response to a
toast "The Day we Celebrate," when Dr. Ridge, of
Camden, N. J., took the floor to reply to the senti
ment "Our Country." The Doctor made a most elo
quent and forcible address, alluding to the many
stirring incidents in the historv of our country, aud
concluding . with a tribute, most beautifully ex
pressed, to the "free and untrammelled Press" of our
country. Speeches were also made by William J.
Aldrich, John Pemberton, and Mr. Henry F. Butler.
The address of the latter gentleman was given in re
sponse to the toast "Woman," and its sparkling wit
aud genuine humor fairly convulsed the company.
Some fine singing was indulged in by Mr. Pemberton.
ami the festivities concluded with the "Star Spangled
Banner." Altogether it was a delightful reunion,
and will long be remembered with pleasure by all
who participated In It.

office to-day for May coupons, and a large amount of
gold checks Issued for the registered May interest,

customs demaud lor gold to-day amounted to
IU96.000.
"Tho Money market was easy to the brokers to-day
at T per cent., and exceptional transactions were
again made at per cent, on Government collateral.
The sales on prime merceant paper range from Ti9
per cent.
"The Stock Exchange was firm and advancing in
prices and active in business on the public funds, all
descriptions of the B-20s sharing in the rise and de
mand, und the K-20s of 18nT und 1nu7, July and Janu
ary interest, especlully stitl' at the improvement over
the highest, transactions of Saturday. The Exchange
was also active In the Southern State Bonds, the
Loulsianas advancing y. per cent., the Mls
souris 1 per cent., aud the new North t'aro
linas y, per cent. Tennessees and old Vlr
ginias were also In rcmiest. The ruilway mar
ket was excited on the Vauderbilt New York
Stocks, Central rising to 172 IC Hudson to 158!, Har
lem to Uiyc U4 per cent., aud very little of the last
named stocks oil'ered. There was some depression
early in the day on part of the Western list, the St.
Paul's displaying especial weukness, and the North
wests dullness; but Fort Wayne, on the other hand,
was buoyant, Kock Island arm, and Michigan South
ern steady ; and later iu the dav the recover? was
general in the weak stocks of the forenoon, aiid the
whole market, in sympathy with New York Ccutral,
the favorite of the duy, lctt off sternly,"
From the JlerpUl,
"T!Me was a derided renewal of the speculative
fever throughout the different markets to-day, and a
sharp upwurd turn iu the great majority of tiie secu
rities dealt iu at the stock Exchange. The street
is eminently 'bullish' iu its tohe and tendenev, and
the 'iK'urs' who put out their contracts lor the ex
pected depression resulting lrom the recent strin
gency in money have gazed with dismay at the
gradual but sure obliteration of their margins cou
setiueut upon the steady rise of from twenty to fortv
percent, which has ensued In some of the leudiug
speculative stocks. The onward march of prices
was merely checked by tight money. Indeed, for
some of the list it wos progressive notwithstanding.
With the return of easy money the advance uaa been
still more marked. The railway list has been the
great leatnre, and those which are more or less In
the path ol the route to San Francisco, via the
l'ucilie itailway, are more or less reflective of the
impression that iu the general impetus which Is to
be given to railway stocks by the completion of that
route each will have its share of increased tratllc.
We have already pointed out the danger arising from
a too enthusiastic discounting fit the effect' upon
the earnings of our Western roads when thlseuter
pii.e shall have been linislied. The Immense de
cline In breadstuff's at the West, ranging from forty
to lilty ler cent., should not be disregarded in mak
ing calculation of the profits of our railways during
the ensuing season, particularly as it mav more
than offset the advantage to be derived from con
nection with the l'acillc route. The stock market
was strongly active for the general list, and prices
in some instances touched tli highest ever known.
New York Central, for instuuee, sold ut 17a, the
opening ligtiro being ion';.
The other Vauderbilt stocks," as thev ore classl
lled Hudson ltiver and Harlem likewise caught
the infection ol the hour, and advanced to IBS if und
144 'i respectively, the report being revived that Mr.
Vauderbilt, in orguul.ing his grand through route to
the West, will arrange for serin dividends upon those
latter roads to eiiualixe them lu value to New York
central, preliminary to consolidation therewith. Fort
Wayne was unother leature of the railway list In this
general advance. The express stocks were ulso
active ami higher, while of the miscellaneous
list l'ucilie Mail and Western I'nion were tho
more buo.wuit. The situution to-day was ono to
really puzzle the most conservative of lluauelers. If,
on tho oue hand, this sudden appreciation of value Is
based upon the expected prosperity of the country In
the ensuing future, it is only what the more enthusi
astic, have prophesied ever since the administration
of General Cnant was decided upon by a. majority of
Hie people of the I'nited States. If, on the other
hand, It is the work of the cliques und combinations
of Wull street, who have conspired to advance prices
to make a market for their long-hourdod stocks, its
su ss Is stupendous.
'In tho Government market the five-twenties of
IstM touched the extraordinary ligtire of 121 The
London quotation wus also higher 80 ;v whilo the
simultaneous advance lu consols to l)3V SUf in
evidence of the fact that the monetary ease
which Is now experienced iu the New York market
hits 'lis counterpart in London. It is a curious
spectacle, this growing abundunce of money
ut two of tho (liuincial centres of the world, and may
well arouse the conservative llnancler to scrutinize
again the monetary horizon. It will be well if this
activity is not contluod to the stock exchanges, but
expands to the more legitimate channels of business.

arise from the indigestion of food, which fer

3. Costiveness and Loss, of Appetite These
symptoms are the effects of the unnatural con

4. Gloom and Depression of Spirits Thi

perfect digestion. In this stage of the disease
many persons commit suicide. There is a con

positive inability to perform the offices of Ufe.
