In whatever way the recently published cen
sus returns of Marshal Gregory are examined,
they afford Incontestable proof of their gross
Inaccuracy, and demonstrate the fact that the
carelessness of the enumerators has cheated
Philadelphia ont of credit for tens of thousands
of people to which it is manifestly entitled.

Marshal Gregory has, of course, pretended to
er umerate the dwelling-houses in the city at the
present time, but he has not as yet given his
figures to the public, and when he does they
Will doubtless be found as grossly inaccurate as
the enumeration of the Inhabitants. The latest
official statement of the number of dwelling
houses in the city is that made to the Board of
Revision by the assessors in 1867, since which
time there has been no attempt made, by any
authority, to ascertain the precise number of
houses in the city. But the monthly reports
of the number of building permits issued ena
ble us to ascertain with a fair degree of accu
racy the actual number of dwelling-houses in
the city at the time the recent enumeration of
Inhabitants by the census takers was made.
The number of new dwellings erected between
July 1, 1800, and June 80, 1870, is shown in the
following table:
i860 (six months)... 1,074 1B6T (six months) .. . 1,633
1861 1,535 1868 .4,092
1662 2,154 1969 4,978
1863 2,465 1870 (StX months). .. 2,129
iM4 1,1001
1865 1,413
1S66 1.91S
1867 (six months)... 1,418
Tot., three years.. 19,79?
Previous 7 years.. 13, 139
Tot., ten years . . ..25,930
Tot., seven years. 13,138
The 13,133 new dwellings erected in the first
seven years of the decade, added to the 89,633
which were standing in 1860, give 102,770 as the
number standing in 1867; while, by the returns
of the assessors in the latter year the number
was 102,504. Only 266 buildings were therefore
abandoned as dwelling-houses during this
period, and if we make an allowance of two
hundred thus abandoned during the last three
years, the actual increase in the num
ber of dwelling-houses in this city
during the past ten years is full 25.500, which,
added to the 89,633 standing In 1860, gives
115,132 as the number of dwelling-houses in the
city at the time the recent census was taken.
At the rate of 6 31 persons to each house, the
proportion according to the census of 1860, this
would give Philadelphia a population at pre
sent of 726,483, Instead of the 657,159 with
which we are credited by Marshal Gregory.
These figures would show an increase since
1860 of 100,954, or 28 40 per cent., which we
venture to claim is below the actual truth, and
certainly is not in excess of it.
Assuming Marshal Gregory's figures to be
correct, we have the following comparison of
the results of the last three enumerations of in
habitants: 1850. I860. 1870.
Population 408,762 665,529 657,159
No. of Dwellings.... 61,278 b,632 115.132
Persons to one house 6-64 6 81 571
This presents a smaller number of persons to
a house than at any period in the history of the
city except during the Revolutionary War;
'and, although there was a Blight decrease in
the ratio of I860 as compared with that of
1850, it is folly to argue that such a decrease
can continue or has continued.
Between 1810 and 1850 there was no enumera
tion of the dwelling-houses in the city, but the
number is ascertainable at several periods pre
vious, and shows the following comparison:

The large falling off in 1777 was In conso
le rjuence of the occupation of the city by the
imtlBu troops, lne limits embraced In the
above table, in the enumerations of 1800 and
1810 included some of the suburbs which were
excluded from the statement published by us a
few days ajro.
The Increase la the Voce ef the City
affords another proof of the Inaccuracy of Mr
ehal Gregory's figures. In the following table

several thousand fraudulent voles were cat,

This statement, it will be seen, is even more
damaging to the bogus census than the previous
one. On the basis of the white population alone,
the number of persons to a voter in 1860 was
6-GO, while in 1863 it was reduced to 4-93 a pro
portion altogether too low to be laid entirely
to the door of fraud. The votes cast in 1863
and 1870 were notoriously so light that the pro
portion given by these years is of no moment
whatever.

RECENT PHENOMENA.
The dullest observer, says the Springfield Re
publican, must have noticed that we are expe
riencing a rare and rapid succession of pheno
mena in the air and the earth rare, at least,
in this region. The auroral displays have beau
unusually frequent and brilliant, and so stroug a
seriously to Interfere with the electric current In
telegraphing; then came theearthquakeof Thurs
day, which occurred on the second anniversary of
the great calamity along the coast of Peru, and is
by some 6cieutits presaged to precede another
similar convulbion; and now we seem to have
entered into a storm of meteors. The first we
have heard from was eeen aud heard on Satur
day night at about 11 o'clock; another is re
ported at New York as explodiug at a point 15
degrees northwest of Mezar, in the constella
tion of the "Great Dipper," and Us very bril
liant llgnt casting ebadowj oi buiiaings and
surrounding objects; the third fell at 7 o'clock
Sunday morning, aud the fourth at quarter p;nt
8 the same day.
It is the 7 o'clock meteor, however, with which
we are concerned, as it was quite as remarkable
as has been seen for a generation. It was either
seen or felt from middle New Hampshire to
shortly below the Connecticut line, and from
PitUfield on the west Jo Cohaset on the e;t.t
Boston don't seem to have known about It, and
as full reports about it reach us from ail the
country villages, while not a dozen people in this
city and nobody in any other saw it. we are con
strained to believe that early rlxlng is not a city
custom. Its appearance and effects are minutely
described by various correspondents. It was
apparently as large as the sun at his rising, and
fpringtng from the Dipper, it described an arc
from 75 degrees above the horizon. Its color U
described us that of iron at white beat, with
vivid varl-colored scintillations, and leaving lu
its wake a luminous train about tbree or four
degrees in width, which remained for some fif
teen seconds. Its brilliancy was especially
astonishing, as the sun was someways ab-tve the
horizon. It exploded finally lu a sharp detona
tion, scattering its brilliant fragments In all
directions,- each of which aluo burst in rapid
succession. Its smoke hung like a cloud for
several seconds more, emitting flashes of light,
and then gradually faded into air.
The mofct singular feature of this phenomenon
was its physical effect In producing a heavy, dis
tinct rumbling, like a dis'aut rock blast, or
echoed cannon shot, which was heard more
plainly In houses than without. This was ac
companied by a jar strong enough to shake
windows and doors, awaken sleepers, and alxrm
many with the thought of another earthquake.
We have accounts of this great meteor irojx
Concord, N. II. (where they are sure they have
got it in a pond), from Ware (a very minute aud
careful one), from Amherst, Grauby, Deer
field, Westtield, Pittafleld, and Lanesooro
(which also claim to locate the celestial
wonder in an ore bed). The 815 meteor was
seen in Deerfield, aud was creditably bright. A
singular effect was noted in West Spriugdeld,
where a good farmer was, simply as a work of
necessity, turning his cider screw at the time of
the explosion, and saw stars burned in the marah
before his eyes. Another very splendid and ex
ceptional atmospheric manifestation was a crim
son aurora seen here, at 5 o'clock yesterday
morning, resembling the light from au iinnease
fire. It tarried but a brief time, aid then van
ished in glorious streamers toward! the zeuith.
This dUplay was also seen in ClevoUud and
Cincinnati. Last night there was another bril
liant display in the northern heavens. What
do all these signs aud wonders mean?

The first and most Important object was to odor

could be taken by adults aud children. Ignorant
persons, who pay no attention to doje, direction, or
advice, might reason, "That if a teaspoonful, taken
occasionally, did good, two would do better, and
perhaps a bottle would cure in a day."
Many have broken down their hsalth by dissipa

In doing so.
What I would have understood is, that no injury
can arise from Its use It is as sare as any article of
food ; but patients must not expect any medicine to
rebuild a wrecked or shattered constitution in a
few days.
This truth Is so self-evident that it would seem un
necessary to repat it, were It not for the fact that
thousands of persons who are intelligent In all other
matters seem to think, unreasonably, that a cura
tive agent must exhiMt Its specific effects imme
diately, when the fact Is that time is often an im
portant element In the progress of a safe and
thorough cure, even when tie medicine Is working

lies against ail discoveries and Inventions In medi

remedy to prolong life, or on infallible cure for
cholera or consumption, what a monster he would
be to withhold his knowledge 1 We have yet to learn

Oirard, Penn., March 81, W.9.
EniTOR "COBMOroLiTE" : I desire as an un soli
cited tribute to the merits of Helmbold s Buchu, and
for the benefit of those similarly ariltcted as myself,
to say that after consulting many eminent physi
cians, and trying nearly all the best advertised reme
dies, in the vain hope of finding relief from atnrra
vated kidney and bladder diseases, from which I
have suffered excessively for many years, good for
tono finally suggested to me HelmOold's Buchu,
whlcn I commenced using with little faith, and no
apparent beneficial results, for about a month. At
the expiration of that time, however, I thought I
commenced to experience slight relief, which en
couraged me to persevere in Its use, and now, at the
expiration of four months, although I am an Infirm
old man, nearly 73 years of age, and consequently
medicines cannot be expected to favorably affect
me as they otherwise would, I have found such un
speakable relief and erinanent benefit from Mr.
Helmbold's valuable discovery, that I feel I ought to
publicly record the fact, as an acknowledgment to
film and a valuable suggestion to the public V ours
respectfully, . D. M. LAREN.

phia. Mr. IT. T. Eelmbold:
Deah Sib: In regard to the question asked me as
to my opinion about Kuchn, 1 would say that I have
used and sold the article In various iorms for the
past thirty years. 1 do not think there Is any form
of preparation of it I have not used, or known to be
used, In the various diseases where such medicate
agent would be indicated. You are aware, as well
as myself, that It has been extensively employed In
the various diseases of the bladder and kidneys, and
the reputation it has acquired, in my Judgment, is
warranted by the facta,
I have seen and nsed, as before staled, every form
of Buchu the powdered leaves, tincture, fluid ex
tractand I am not cognizant of any preparation of
that plant at all equal to yours. Twelve years' ex
perience ought, I think, to give me the tight to Judge
of its merits: and, without prejudice or partiality, I
give yours precedence over all ot.hers.
I value your Buchu for its effects on patients. I
have enred with It, and seen cured with It, more dis
eases of the bladder and kidneys than I have ever
seen cured with any other Buchu or any other pro
prietary compound of whatever name.
Respectfully yours, etc.,

A CASE OF TWENTY YEARS' STANDING.
Philadelphia, Pa,, June 23, 186f.
II. T. Ilelmlold, Druggist:
Dear Sik: 1 have been a sufferer for upwards of
twenty years with gravel, bladder, and klkiey affec
tions, curing which time I have uaed various medi
cal preparations, and been under the treatment of
the most eminent physicians, experiencing but little
relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively adver
tised, I conHulted my family physician In regard to
using your Extract Buchu.
1 did this because I tad used all kinds of adver
tised remedies and had fouud them worthless, and
some quite Injurious; in fact. I despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies
hereafter unless I knew of the Ingredients. It was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs,
and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phy
sician as an excellent combination, and, with his
advice, after an examination or the article and con
sulting again with the druggist, I concluded to try
It. I commenced to nse it abmt eight months ago,
at which time I was confined to my room.
From the first bottle I was astonished and gratified
at the beneficial effect, and alter using it three
weeks was able to walk out. I felt much like writing
to you a full statement of my case at the time, but
thought my improvement might only be temporary,
and therefore concluded to defer, aud see if It would
effect a perfect cure, knowing that it would be of
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
I am now Able to report Hiat a cure is effected
after using the remedy for five months.
I have not used any now for three months, and
feel as well In all ret pects as I ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant tiste
and odor, a nice tonic and luvlKorator of the system,
I do not mean to be without, it whenever occasion
may require its use In such affections.

A PERMANENT CURE OF GRAVEL OF TWELVE
YEARS' STANDING STONE PASSED AND
TO BE SEEN.
Burnsidk, Conn., Dec. IB, 1969.
Dr. UelmboU:
Dear but: It is with ranch pleasure that I write
you upon facts respecting myself. I do not know
hardly how to express myself. I have been for the
last ten or twelve years the greatest sufferer man
could be and live; but moe sometimes than others.
The complatnt was the "kidneys" and "bladder."
Have consulted doctors, both in Massachusetts
and this State, and taken pills, I may say bv the
auait, also liquored medicines, but found no relief
from any, ana got worse the last six months. I was
so that I could scarcely get about. I could not rest
Bight or aay. It would soon have been "all up"' with
mr, t I had not aaon your ad vertlaenipnt in the
Berkshire Courier, headed "Kldnevs." I read It
through, and thought I would try lr. I purchased
a bottle, out, mind you, had not much faith in It.
Why should I, when I had been trying so many
things and cost me so much? Well, I began taking
It, end before I had taken the first buttle I felt bad ;
but I finished It and got another. By the time I took
half of the second I still got worse (apoarently).
When I walked it seemed as if my right kidney was
falling from Its place, aud I felt really bad. I felt so,
before I had finished the second, that I had made
np my mind it was of no nse trying anymore and
a 1 this time the "Buchu" was doing its work, hut I
did not know it; so I gave it up and went to Hart
fr rd on Saturday, to one of the best doctors In the
city. He said it was the neck of the bladder, and I
should have to undergo an operation. He gave me
medicine and I went home quite downhearted. Oa
Sunday I was unable to go to church. I had not
taken any of his medicine, but on my return con
tinued uRirgthe "Buchu," aud In the afternoon It
had the desired effect.
I cannot tell you all, but thta la a true story of my
case, and yon are welcome to make such use of my
name as you think proper. I ainpreitv well known la
Berkshire ; also In Connecticut. The advertisement
saved me. Why not publish more? The Springfield
liepulUcan Is a wide-spread paper. If any one
wishes to see this wonder they can do so. I could
wiite all day, but think I have said enough this
time, so I remain your ever well-wisher.
