The Committee on Hall asked to be continued In their labors, as they had thus far been unable to discover a place suitable for the purposes of the society. A large number of donations were received, among which were all tbe publications of the Wisconsin Historical Society, the first cruise of the United States frigate ''Essex," by Commo dore Treble, U. 8. N., a history of the Vermont coinage, by Rev. Edmund F. Slater, and a col lection of photographs. Letters were received from different persons. Including Hon. Millard Fillmore, Uev. Edmund F.

It was communicated to the society that Mr. Henry Phillips, Jr., the Corresponding Secre tary, would sail for Europo next month, where upon the society authorized him to communi cate with all kindred societies in Great Britain and on the continent After tbe transaction of business of minor Im portance the society adjourned. Jolly Jack Tars in a Bacchanalian Re velry. Yesterday afternoon a number of sailors attached to a revenue-cutter lying in the Delaware came ashore, and, with the usual fail ing of the men-of-wars men, got jolly tight; so that when they re-entered the launch that had brought them to tbe wharf, and shoved out iuto the Btream, they fell to singing and tumbling about with that uncurbed looseness which marks all who have the ill-fortune to be half-seas-over. The beat, by the joint efforts of the blind-drunk helmsmen, instead of making its way to the cutter, veered to all points of the compass, like a weather-vane. One of the number got up, and raising a bumper of rum, proposed "The health of ze President Unistates, hooraar!" and on this patriotic effort tumbled over the vessel and plumped into tbe cold water. With a start ling unanimity the rest of the crew plunged over to save tbe unfortunate, and had not a party of stevedores hastened out with a boat to their rescue, they would have been drowned. As It waB, they were all exhausted, though sobered, while the first was insensible. He was carried to the Third District Station, where he was resuscitated. The Will of the Late Charles Kneciit. The will of the late Charles Knecht, merchant, was yesterday afternoon admitted to probate. The estate is very large, but its exact value is not stated. It will be seen from the follow ing clauses how he disposes of his estate. Its other portions refer to settling up some business affairs, and not to the disposition of his pro perty: "It is my will that my dear wife, Mary M. Knecht, shall select and retain for family use such part or portion of my household good and furniture, Including plate or silver ware, as she shall think proper." "It Is my further wish that my said wife shall re ceive and enjoy the Income and interest, of all my real and personal estate that may remain after the payment of my debts, during her widowhood, she to provide for her children during their respnctlve mi norities; but in case my said wife shall marry again, then I give and devise to her one-third of my perso nal estate absolutely and the income of oae-third of my real and personal estate, during her natural life, subject to tbe foregoing devise and provision to and for my said wire, and give and devise all my estate, real and personal, that remains alter the payment of my debts, to my children, their heirs, executors, and administrators, share and share alike." He then appoints John Willia'ms and Jacob F. Alburger his executors, and his brother Gabriel Knecht the guardians of his children nntil they have respectively attained the age of SI years. The will is dated December 18, 1870. How He Took a Drink. Yesterday William Hargan and one Moses Dalzell became involved in a controversy as to the ownership of a couple of dogs, at Detwller's stable, Manhelm street, Germantown. When the dispute had attained that point where blows are next expected, Dal zell, with an unusual complaisance of manner, approached Hargan and asked him to take a drink, placing his arm around his neck in an affectionate manner. Thus having his dnped opponent in chancery, he pummelled him with out stint or mercy. At last Hargan broke away and seized a pitchfork, with which he rushed upon Dalzell but before he could accomplish his sanguinary design an officer seized him, while a companion knight of the locust cap tured the truculent Dalzell, and both were hur ried before Alerman Waterhouse. tbe latter to answer the charge of assault and battery, and the former the charge of threatening to kill. Ccstom House Matters. A delegation of soldiers, headed by General J. T. Owen, chair man of the delegation, called on Mr. Ueistand, Naval Officer, and in behalf of their organiza tion, protested against tbe removal of Captain George W. Kochersperger, a clerk in his em ploy. They were well received, and assurances given that their appeal would receive a favorable consideration. The committee consisted of General Owen, General Wagner, General Collis, General H. G. Sickel, General Allen, General K. R. Biles, Colo nel S. B. W. MUchell, Major A. K. Calhoun, and Major Wm. J. Mackey. This committee was appointed by the Philadelphia Council of the Boys in Blue. Dwelling House Robbed. Last night the dwelling of John M. Driver, No. 3:38 8. Seven teenth street, was entered from the back win dow, the shutter of which was pried open. The house was thoroughly ransacked, the robbers carrying off a lot of clothing, silverware, table linen, and a piece of inusiin, valued in all at tlOO and over. From the pocket of Mr. Driver's coat they took a memorandum book containing a number of very valuable papers, but, disco vering that it contained nothing tha1; they could easily convert Into money, they left it on the diniiig-room table.

Some Flenrr In Relation Thereto The Vay Things are Managed. There is a suspicion abroad that the militia tax is a fraud. People desire to know where tbe money which they have paid has goae. Possibly for the fostering of our weakling regi ments a small tax might be levied and collected without much eerious opposition. But when the money which should go to our military regiments goes to the Lord knows where, then there is (and with reason) much opposition, and the tax collectors will have their hands full in securing the cash. We happen to have the figures of the tax distribution for the year 1809. In that year 64,173 persons, by a careful assessment, were set down hi liable to military duty, and, of caurse, required to pay the militia tax. The tax was then 12 per man. Suppose the number, exclud ing exemptions, to be 40,000 men, there would have been secured f 80,000, and yet the receipts of the collector at that time show tnat he paid the sum of $7752 58 to the militia of the city. The tax of the year 1808 was collected with mere success, it having netted to our militia some 28,000. Of the figures of which we will have more to say by-and-by. The people now are Interested in the bills which have literally flooded the community, oalling for the payment of $2 05. Tbe items of the bill are: Tax tl-00 Warrant 0 75 Commission 020 Penalty 010 n 05 The additional $1-05 to the tax can be (ius tioned. Tbe item of 75c. for the warrant is uncalled for. No such warrant is ever issued. The act of Assembly gives the receiver of militia tax no such authority to issue such a warrant, and it never is issued. But the most Imperti nent charge in this "little bill" is that of 20 cents for commission, when it Is recollected that the collector also receives his 15 pur cent, com mission on the dollar. lie cuts In twa ways fifteen per cent, on the original tax and the twenty cents included in the above bill. Not a copper of this $1 05 ever goes to our soldiers. It Is the fee of the col lector. The pretense of making these enormous charges is that, because the Receiver of Taxes of Philadelphia has a right to make them, the military receiver has the same richt. The act of Aeseniblv says nothing of the kind. A special act of the Legislature authorizes the Receiver of Taxes for Philadelphia to add theso C06t to unpaid taxes on real estate ord;. No such cost can be added even by him for the recovery of a personal, such as a poll or a militia, tax. The charge af $105 is therefore unwarranted, and people will do well to hesitate before they pay It. In regard to the amount collected last year the public have not beeu iufonutd. The asses sors' lists for 1870 contain some 70,000 names, and by a little figuring, excluding exemp tions and the pay of the assessors, the amount which Mr. McCammon should have re ceived can be very easily ascertained. lhere was a distribution last tcbruary, how ever, but a very becgarly amount was given away. General l nomas brigade only received one-half of the distribution, via.: cents per man. The 9th Regiment did not receive a dollar, and the Provisional Brigade were paid only at the rate of C2 per man. We under stand that another distribution of $1 per man is now In progress. ST. CLE3IEXPS. A "Writ of Injunction Issued Against the Present Vestrymen The Hectors Not to lie Dismissed. The Court of Common Pleas yesterday granted a special writ of injunction, to continue for five days, restraining the vestrymen of St. Clements unurcn troni interfering with the rector and assistant rector in the discharge of their duties, and also ordering them to take no further action in the matter in any way until the Court gives further orders. In the mean time, before the writ expires, a motion wiil be made and argued to continue the injunction, at least until tho legality of the election of the vestry is decided in the Supreme Court, though even then the authority of the vestry to dismiss the clergymen can be brought into question. This authority has been thoroughly tested in former legal cases, and has repeatedly been de cided in favor of the clergymen holding the appointments.

Lnf t fall a man named John Helsler, a German umbrella maker, was, after much diliculty and threat resistance, arrested and confined in the asylum for the insane. For months previous himself and family had carried on at their house in tbe extreme north part of the village, on tbe edge of the swamp, a series of crazy freaks wonderful to behold, and which attracted to his humble abode great crowds of people, much, to the frenzy of Heisler, who would attempt to drive off all who came. He seemed sane enough on other subjects but religion, but on that he and his whole family, consisting of a wife and five children, are staring mad. The house was all ornamented with crosses, and these they paid devotion to. A deformed daughter was placed every day upon the house top, and then all the others of the family would kneel and worship her. At intervals they would all go out into the open field and pray aloud for hours at a time. These, and a great many more eccentricities, excited the curiosity of the people. It was unsafe for people to pass, for Heisler would often assault them, and his neighbors complained of the family as a nuisance. If food had not been given them, and forced upon them, they would have starved to death. When the police and poor master went to the house it became necessary to force their way in. Finally it was decided to arrest Heisler, and put him in the asylum, and see what the effect would be on the family. He remained there two or three weeks, and Dr. Van Deusen said that he was entirely sound in all other respects, save a religious mania, and, on his suggestion, he was allowed to come and go to the institution as he wished, and after a while he did not come buck. Since then, up to the present, Superlutendent Brownell has provided th family with all the necessaries of life, and with him have visited theafillcted family prominent Germans of the village, who in many ways befriended the Hei6lers. But the same religious frenzy, though somewhat subdued, has prevailed with all ttie family through the winter, and two week ago they refused to accept charity or any food whatever. To prevent starvation (for days together they have locked themselves In their shanty and resisted all efforts of outsiders to enter, tte old man keeping stout hickory clubs and a loaded gnn at hand) to these six unfortunates all the children are in some measure deformed, and one is but a very small babe Superintendent Brownell had recourse to very stringent measures. Determined that they should not ttarve if he could prevent it, he went to the house with some Germans who were frieuds of Heisler, and by force effected an entrance. A terrible picture of suffering met the gaze of the visitors, but tbe family refused to accept any food or assistance unless it were given in the name of tbe Father, Bon, and Holy Ghost. Mr. Barney Locher, who was among those who visited the place with Mr. Brownell, became so indignant at what he saw, that be seized the crosses and emblems that were to be seen on every side, and broke them to pieces. Every effort was made for a week after wards, by daily visits, to iuduce the family to partake of food, but with only partial success, and only on tbp pressure of force. Yesterday Mr. brownell decided to urrest Heisler, and soe if be could have him put iuto the workhouse, and1 by separation of tbe family at tbe poor house, put an end to this strange deluslou, which must otherwise soon result in the death of the entire family. Jt is one of the most obstinate casts on record; the efforts of tbe Catholla priest, of lleisler's old friends, and of others, to t rovide for the wants of himself and family, and to aid in every way, have had no effect.
