Ttic present condition of that Til plague ipot In
oar fair city, Bedford tweet and lta vloluity, it very
gratifying to all who have the best Interests of the
community at heart. Bad as that regl-m atlll Is, it
la aa nothing to what it was five years ago. Any
one whe was Intimately acquainted with it thea
would not know it low; and if the reformatory In
fluences are kept at work by proper support, by the
time thatjflve tears more have elapsed, it would not
be recognized by those that know it now.
The Tlsltor whe now sees the street for the Irst
tlrue lees many things that startle him. He sees
crime, filth, and wretchedness of the worst kind,
inch as It is not possible to see la any other place
11 sees the miserably poor, the outcasts and p
pers of society, the thieves, petty aud otherwise tn
prostitutes, the desperadoes, and even the, mar.
derers, those who have escaped detection or tn9
time feting, and all are see In tnelr very orstllgnt.
let startling as all these may be, th -y ftre veru,
nothing to the things that were. Te Btreet wtlU.h
is the heart of the morally Infect rej?1()Ili ue,iford,
now Alaska street, U now comparatively Bftfej D.,ttl
by night aud day, t the paer-hy, but in the past it
was not so. In those deg u was at the rtst ol a
man's life that he pas'd along after nightfall; and
hi the dajtlnie, a n nt or at least an lusnlt w-is his
certain lot. Ther; rows of broken-down aud decay
ing lrame bullrings crowded upon each othei on
every Inch of grouud In or near Bedford, Hpafford,
Baker, St. Mary s, and the numerous other small
Streets, ennrts, and alloys. Now Baker and Staf
ford streets are almost reclaimed, and what were
the very worst spots now contain dwellings smtll
bnt more neat and comfortable than the rotten dens
which preceded them Inhabited by a poor but re
spectable class or working men. Bedford titrcet
lUeir, though the hardest to reclaim, is now show
ing unmistakable signs of a better time coming. Its
rotten tenements still remain to a great exteur., but
hi some instances they have given place to more
human-like dwellings, having a less disreputable
look, at the least. Others are already doomed,
through the exertions of a special society hereafter
to he mentioned, and In due course of time must
surely give way to improvements.
This present comparatively good condition of the
neighboroood Is largelv, ir not entirely, owing to tie
work of the Bedford Street Mission. This was
started at a time when no deceat person dared to
venture into the vile district-, and It was established
rip lit in the heart of the very worst section. It has
endured and outlived hardships, sneers, and 111
treatment from both friend and foe. Though it was
looked upon at first with the greatest suspicion, and
even hated by the inhabitants of the ne'gtiborti ol,
It has gradually worked Its way tuto Hie hearts of
many of them by attending to their physical wauta
lirst, and afterwards their spiritual. The life devo
tion of Itev. Mr. Long and his worthy lady to the
work there set before them could not but produce
an effect. When those wtij were to be beueiied saw
for themselves that It was for no Bullish ends that
the missionary came among them, they were
the more susceptible to any ad
vances which mltflit be made. Even
the worst, who will have nothing to do with the
mission, now treat Its missionary with respect.
Those who were in greatest enemies are now desi
rous of the good opinion of its officers.
Where parents are irrecbilmible, the work of the
mission is to take the children aud educato them In
better wave. The educational system has now been
truing on long enough to show some of Us fruits.
The hearts ol the workers are now m vie glad by an
occasional visit from boiivj young pursou who U now
at least a respectable member of the com uunUv,
whom they had taken from the worst aid e iueat'H
to usefulness. Medical attendance, irrespective of
person or religion, friend or foe, is frrely di-peuse 1
by the mission. Kiitluness is the gre uest enemy of
the goot work, and therefore the especial object of
the mission's exertions. All who arc lu any
way connected with the mission house, whether
as pupil or the recipient of medleal
aid, are Urst made as clean as posslole, then have
their other wants attended to. Free baths for every
body were started several years ago by the mission,
aud were well patronized. They were lu successful
operation during the past summer, aud It was by
this means that the dreadful plague of the relapsing
fever was in a great measure stayed. Tnese baths
are also greatly needed now, but the funds will not
permit the introduction or hot water, witliont which
they are useless In the winter season. OlJtlilng is
distributed to the needy as occasion and tu rner will
warrant. The pupils of the Mission-school are the
special recipients of this charity. Once a rear at
least, at the Christmas dinner, the members of the
day and Sunday schools receive each a suit of
clothes, which charitable ladles, members or the
Board of Managers, or contributors make up.
Secular education of both sexes la made a prime
necessity, and hildren of both sexes are ant he re I
luto whnt Is now a flourishing school. Iiellrioiis
training Is also given to whoever will accept of It.
Though all exertions are nsed to bring people to thd
church and Sunday-school services, such attendance
Is not made obligatory. What is sought is rather to
win people in by a pure voluntary love of the thing.
Under this arrangement It Is not round dldloult u
obtain good audiences.
It is the Bedford Btreet mission which continually
rouses the city authorities to action when taelr ser
vices are needed. The Board of Health, which
usually does nothing unless It has to lu this region
where the results will not show to the community
at large, Is contluuallr made to attend to Its
neglected duty by the oiQcers of the mission. The
police and the building inspectors whose busluess
It Is to condemn the rotten buildings when they get
uusafe, are also aided or urged on by the mission
oillcers. The mission was never lu a better w irking
order, but it must have funds to carry on Us work.
It is supported entirely by voluntary offerings. A
better charity there could not possibly be.
An industrial school lor girls meets In the Mission
Bouse two afternoous In a wei k. In It the gins are
taught principally to sew. Many or its pupl's on
entering, though well grown, have not trie slightest
Idea how to use a needle. The school has just betn
surted for the present season. The average at
tendance is about thirty-five. Tnough m good
spe diners of work can yet be shown, the teachers
state that In less than six weeks very creditable
needlework can be turned out, A great want or
material to work with is felt In running this school.
Any ladles who have old pieces of stud, or old var
ments of any sort, which can be cut up and remade
Into any shape, will find them to be very acceptable
if presented to Mr. Lor. g at the mission. iivi-ry
Inch or old stun in tne private houses of the teachers
Is at present pressed into the service, and it is reared
that this scant provision will soon fall. In this con
nection U might be well to mention the fact mat the
mission has just received a large box containing
aoaut fifty dollars worth of cloth and material for
the I'hriBtmas presents or clothing for the children.
It came lrorn the firm or Mallalleu Brother,
woollen manufacturers of Kent county, Maryland.
This same firm send yearly about the saun amount
as a donation, of which heretoiore no acknowledg
ment bus been made. The mission Is very thankful.
The lady teachers and the friends are no entye!
lu cutting out end making up the goods, as far as
they will go, into coin ratable wiuter garments. Tht
Industrial-school cannot as yet be trusted on such
practical work as this.
A free lodging house for women has lately baea
opened by the mission authorities In the sitn i
budding where the baths were located in the sum
mer. In It free ladgtug Is provided for all who may
apply, or whom the police bring when it is too late
or too culd te reach the station. The outcast wo.nen
are thus brought under a good lnflueuce, and their
children are taved In many Instances from a death
by freezing. By It, also, the police will be euabiel
to know the professional begging class who will not
go to the station for bheiter. Those who
will make use of the shelter are the onus
who usually either remain In the street all night or
are crowded into the worst deus and cellars wiiere
wickedness, filth, and disease abound. For the
Worst of the customary accommodations, probVily
only sleeping room In an unil xred cellar with a
dozen or more of otners of both sexes, a rent Is p il l
of about ten cents a night. In ths Mission Hojse
lodging a better resting place cai be o.it iiue.1 rr ;
The only trouble is that the funds of the mUslon
will not allow the space to be sumciently larg.
With more money a similar establishment for t.i
accomraodatl in of men could also be opened.
Through the exertions of the mission several
landlord have put up a better class of lodging
houses, though many of the old crowded ones sun
remain, they being too profitable to be done away
witk any sooner than necessary. The landlords are
usually rich people, living In the bust part of tue
eiiy, and by reason of the great numbers which m
buildings shelter, the small orlglual oust, and the
positive freedom from runulng expense t tie j b -l ig
allowed to wear out as fast as thuy
eau, and after that to stay worn out the
miserable structures pay a very hh
rate of Interest on the capital invested. It is mituly
the landlords who demoralize the people. They
ask high rente, aud the peopie win pay them si lonj
as they are alloweu to make the money by dUrnpu
table or dishonest means. To this the la ull r 1 his
no objection. To remedy this evil a builduig associa
tion has lately been started which lutuuds gradually
to obtain possession of the ground aud erect com
fortable buildups upon It, which will then be let out
for lodginvs at reasonable rates. The nrgatiUa'iou
Is called the Beneficent Building Association, and it
Is composed of some of our best Citizens. Mr. Kil

bOSS OF ST. ANDREW.
The 133d Annlvorsary f the 8t. Andrew's
NarletT A feast f Keai.a Bad a Flew (
Houl.
The one hundred and twenty-third anniversary of
the St, Andrew's Society of i'hlladelphta was cele
brated last evening in a grand dinner given at
Angustin's on Walnut street. About sixty gentle
men participated. The membership or this old and
honorable society Is composed or some or our most
prominent and subtiutlal citizens, who, either of
Scotch birth or descent, have nnlted themselves
under the bread banner of St. Andrew to d t cna -It-able
wor k s and keep green lu their memories the dear
land of the Covenant.
We noticed among the distinguished gentlemen
present those representing all the learned profes
sions, judges of the com la, officers of the amy,
mctchunta, bankers, and leading businessmen. Tue
evening was passed In the most delightful manner.
Speech and song alternated, and the merriment
throughout the evening was of the most genuine
Kind, i ne cares ana trounies or me eacu man
seemed to have left at the outer door, and brought
In with him only a heart open for pleasure and r -al
enjoyment. The venerable aud distinguished Pre
sident or the society, Mr. Charles Macalcter, pre
sided In his usual disulQed and charming minuer.
After the good things produced bad heea tho
roughly enjoyed, to the entire satisfaction of all
present the regular toasts of the eveulng were
announced ;
First. The Immortal memory of St. Andrew.
Second. The President of the United States.
Third. The Queen of Orea? Britain aud Ireland.
Fourth Scotiaad a land made prosperous, happy,
and tree by the virtue, religion, and Intelligence of
hersotis.
This toast was responded ta most eloquently by
the Hon. James Campbell, who presented the his
tory of Scotland as an example to all other nations.
The freedom of her sous, spiritual aud civil, was
wrought out by the Indoinltaole will, untiring pa
triotism, and valor of h-r sens. He spoke or the
fact that whilst the Koman soldiery overthrew and
conquered the Brltains, no soldier or Rome ever
placed his foot north of the dividing wall. The in
domitable will that held the Koman at bay had
maintained through a long night of oppression the
freedom and independence ot the people.
When Scotland gave to England a king, nnd con
sented to the union, sue did so of her own free will,
abating not a jot or the principles and rights ror
which she had contended.
The next toa:t or the evening was the "United
States or America. Great in all that can elevate a
nation and h'es a people."
General l'attc rhon responded to this toast In an
eloquent and affecting manner. As the (Jeneral has
lived nearly as long as the Government h-is bfen
established, he could talk with considerable rreedO'U
upon the subject. One thought dropned by him in
the course of his remarks is worthy of'especlal
notice.
After speaking or the physical growth and power
of the United Siates of her Inventive genius, she
haviug developed and perfected the application of
steam to locomotion Invented the great wouderof
the age, the telegraph, united the oceans by bands
or iron, aud wonderfully developed the resources or
a continent, he added : "This, great and wonderful
aa it is, w til not preserve your Oovernmcnt or con
serve your liberties. The people must remember, if
they wiuld be great and enduring, that 'righteous
neKS esalteth a nation, and that sin is a reproach to
any people.' "
"lhe Judiciary of Tcnnvylvanla Fearless and In
dependent" wub responded to by Oeorge M. Dal
las, Esq., who announced h in, self as an nuexpactud
substitute for Mr. Chief Justice Tkompson,w!io was
unexpectedly d.terred from being present. Tue Jn
diclary could nrt hava been tuore highly compli
mented If one of their own number had undertaken
the task.
The next toast was "Philadelphia
A brimming pledge to the City or Pcnn
Shall ever be driiuk by St. Andrew's men."
To this toast ex-Uoveruor Pollock responded In
most fitting terms. He spoke or the ract thtf,
although not Philadelphia born, he had Ahvays
taken a lively interest iu all 'hat, appertained to her
growth fiid greatness, snd since he had come to
take up his abolu within its limits his love aud ad
miration had been deepened aud strengthened. He
spoke ot htr mechanical am) industrial Interests, of
her happy, well-fed, end well-housed artisans, of
her boundless charl'.i- s, or her noble, generous
deeds, or her unwavering loyalty In the hour or the
nation's peril, that whs willing to sutler all things
that the nation might be preserved. She has au
honored name among the cities or the earth, and
will have so long as morality aad charity are en
graven upon her banners.
"Our Sister Societies" was responded to by the
Hon. Horatio Gates Jones, who gave an Interesting
as :nunt or the labors or the society he was con
nected with. He alluded to the tact that nearly all
the emigrants from Wales were miner or agricul
turists, and oulv remained long enough ia the ctt?
to get a good start for another aud better place. An
aniuslngpausuge at arms between the speaker and
General Patterson, representing the Hibernian
Society, took place at this juncture, tho. G'tieral
remarking that it was a good thing for the city that
they did pars through, aud being answered by Mr.
Jont-s that it might be as well for the city If some or
the "Sots or the Green Islse" would do likewise.
The next toast was "Poetry aud Poets-Aucient
and Modern." This was replied to by Oolouel A.
Louden Snowden In a speech so full of scholar. y
taste and beauty that we could not refrain from
giving as full a report as our pi mngrapher could
furniali, which we print on our third pge.
The l st toast of the evering was "The IasioV
whit h was responded to by Mr. John C. Knox, Jr.,
a young member or the bar, who did tti i subject
ample justice and himself credit, considering that it
U a very delicate subject, and has to be kindle 1
with care.
Among the distinguished gnests present we no
ticed Frederick Kalrthorne, K-q., President of the
Albion Society; James Allen, Eq.. President of the
SU George; and the Hon. Mr. McCalla, or Virginia,
now a member of the House of Delegates.

temperature of the month, against 41-27 degrees for
November, 1SC9, and 48 -8T degrees for the average
of the mean temperature of November during the
preceding eighty years. Although the raeau tem
perature for Hie month jnst closed was 3 99 degrees
above the average for eighty years, it was slightly
below the mean of November, 1864, as seen In the

DIABOLICAL.
X Horrible Oatrne la tho First Ward -A
Young Couple Biieheri, 4aned, KlHUbed,
aud then Kobbed r 81300.
Tbe whole southeastern portion of the city has
been thrown into a high state or excitement by a
horrible outrage which was perpetrated at au early
hour this morning, which rivals the famous Kemp
ton robbery committed some years since, and the
more recent case of the old German coople residing
in Oermantown, and, as in these cases, the perpe
trators have been quickly captured. At No. ljos
South Front street is an old-fashioned
two-story building, with a frame attachment iu the
rear. It Is aud. has been for some time occupied by
a young couple named Patrick and Mary JlcCul
lougb. They kept a provision store, and by iudu-itry
have buc etied iu lajii'g aside a coubiderabla sum
of money from their earnings. Instead of trusiiug
this amount, which was about f 16uo, to the care of
a banking iustltutieu, they have laid It away, as it
accumulated dollar by dollar, In a bureau drawer
which was located In their bed-room, the socoud
Btory froftt apartment.
They have but few acquaintances, being of a
purely domestic temperament, and In what way the
knowledge that they had this sum ot money came
into the possession or others Is at this time un
known. At 3 o'clock this morning the door leading
Into the kitchen was bnrsted In by four fellows, wbe
wore masks aud were otherwise disguised. Tuey
ascended the rear stairway to the sleeping apart
ment of the McCuUougbs, who by this lime hid
been awakened by the noise of the Intruders.
They attempted to give an alarm, but were seized
and choked and thrust under the bed-clo'h lug, which
was drawn In such a way as was calculated to
smother the occupants. Violently resisting, both
were uncovered and tied hand ana root with stout
ropes. luthe meantime, a noose bad been placed
around their necks and drawn tightly, In order to
prevent any outcries. Mr. MuCullough still resisted,
and seemed determined to light to the lust.
One or the scoundrels tin n drew a knife and
slashed it Into the thigh, knee and forehead or Mr.
MeCullotigh. 'Ibis seemed to have the desired
effect, for the wouuded mau fell back exhausted
from the 1"b or blood. The wife then hecaine quiet,
and the tourniquet was removed from their throats.
They were then Informed that if they mada any
further noire they would be killed. Mr. McCulloagU
having somewhat recovered, was asked where he
kept his money. lie at first refused t answer, but
on bemg threatened directed them to the bureau
drawer. The 1600 was secured and the scoundrels
left tbe house, the McCulloaghs being still bound.
sirs. AlcCullongh Anally succeeded In releasing
herself, aud then taking off the bandages from her
husband they gave au alarm, which brought to
gether the neighbors, to whom the facta were com
municated. The police were ultimately Informed of
the matter snd a description of the men given. Late
In the morning, William Trott, who lives directly
opposite to McCullough's, Henry Jackson, aud
Evans were arrested on the charge of being impli
cated. When we visited the spot. Trott had been
taken before the outraged couple, by both of whom
he was positively ldcutilied. The others had not
been given an audience, but from the description
given, aud from another fact which has since leaked
out, they were doubtless Implicated.
Policeman Nugent, of the Neoond district, states
that at about 3 o'clock this morning he was passing
lhe house of the ilcCullougha, aud noticed the
three men who are now In custody standing at tbe
alley leading luto the yard, and that he Is positive of
the ract, because he spoke to them. He then walked
to Greenwich street, about a square off, aud on re
turning they were gone. In a vtry few minutes
subsequently he heard of the robbery.
C bitf Mulholland Is on the ground, Instituting
fnrther investigations, and there is scarce a douut
that the fourth villain will be captured.
The Little Jokir. The operators of what Is
known as the ball game have been singularly quiet
for some fine past ; at least no report of their work
ln?s bas been submitted by the police oinelilH.
rk rgcant Oilcbrist, or the Seventh district, yester
day came acrohs a trio of fellows who were amusing
and at the same time fleecing the farmers along
Second street of their cash. They bad the usual
little box and the piece of paper, which they were
betilng would disappear or not at their bidding.
The Sergeant took the three Into custody, and gave
tbe ma hearing before Alderman Calilll, who held
them to bail in tH(H) each. Tbey gavethe na-nes of
J, It. Hartley, John Davis, and Robert French.
Fikks At 10 o'clock last evening the machine
shop of J. Wright, No. 113 Spruce street, was slightly
damaged by tire, which It la supposed originated
from tbe boilers.
At half-past 1 o'clock this morning the cotton mill
of Howard Hargrave, situated on Melrose street,
Frankford, was totally destroyed few fire. The loss la
estimated at f 4000, on which there Is an Insurance
of I'i&oo.

Washington, Nov. so. As an evidence or the
amonnt or special legislation for tbe benefit of in
dividuals and corpomtlons ahloh Is expected or tbe
approaching session or Congress, it is ascer
tained that there wete S6 bills granting land or
other privileges to railroad companies remaining on
the Speaker's table when the House adjourned last
July. These bills aad panned tbe Senate,
but ewlsg to want of time, er ror other
causes, they were not acted on by the House.
In addition to these, there aro many more In
the Pcnate and In the committees of the two houses,
and all of theae will be ptesatd during the coming
three Months' section, with more or less strength.
Of coarse, the usnal trailing expedients will be re
sorted to by Rierubeis Interested in the varions
set! emes, and It Is probable- that many of the bills
will succeed. It Is generally coucerted that but little
work will be done until after the holiday retesa,
although It is well known that Mr. 1 awes Intends
to rress action on the Appropriation bills as early as
possiMe, In order thnt thiy may not be loft until the
lsat days ol the sesoloD, as many of them were last
tummt r.
Although bt four days Intervene before the as
sembling or CorgrcBB, the city is comparatively de
KMtea, the hotels are without guests, and signs or
"ror nn to let'' are displayed tier, as during the heat of
summer. Tlins far not a fourth of the members and
Senators have arrived, ai d throughout the city there
are no Indications or the busv season soon to begin.
Amosg the arrivals to-day were Senators Chandler
snd Anns, l he Vice-President and Speaker Blaine
are expected to-iiiuht.
Considerable surprise Is expressed here at the
election of ex-Governor Vanee to the United States
Senate, by the Legislature of Norm Carolloa, to
succeed Senator AWuott. A carnful examination ot
the acts or the Thirty-ninth nnd Fortieth Congresses,
and the first session of the Forty-second, shows that
his political disabilities ror participation in the Re
bellion have never been rarnovrd, and It U the gene
ral opinion that Congress will eertalniy remse to re
lieve him now, and his admission to thn Senate Is
thererore regarded here by Republican Senators as
very doubtful. It la supposed that the friends or ex
Governor Vance will orge In his favor that he op
posed secession until the State of North Carolina
went out of the Union, and tnat during the war he
was electel Governor by the people of tnat State on
a platform opposed to tbe Confederate adminis
tration. Ms opponents claim, however, that these
facts will have little Influence on Congrtes, since
they also remember that as Governor of North
Carolina he was as bitter a Rebel as any man In the
Couth.
