little space for the following statement and appeal:
1. The Rosine Association of this city has don#
and is doing a great and good work in arresting the
steps of many an unfortunate girl just entering on
the downward path of sin and shame, andbring
ing her hack, by woman’s own voice and bands,
to tbe path of virtue, teaching her how she may
earn an honest living.
Mr. Editor, shall such ah Institution hesitate to

mate known its wants to the public? We have
felt for a long time that our present quarters were
inadequate to our necessities; also,-the importance
of having a place where the inmates of the Institu
tion could breathe fresh air and? have more room
for exercise and recreation.

We think we have found such a place, and we
have ventured to purchase the property of Charles
Magargee, Esq., on Germantown avenue. The
bouse is capable of accommodating a large num
ber, and has sufficient land well supplied with
fruit trees and shrubbery. It is our intention to
take possession in April, but a’ heavy debt will be
upon us, unless those who have so kindly remem
bered ns, as well a 3 others who have not hereto
fore espoused our cause, assist us at once in li
quidating the debt we have felt obliged to incur.
Nothing would be m u*e grateful to our feelings, or
help on the good work in which we are engaged
more directly than to have the debt entirely wiped
off before entering the house.

We would also look for assistance in furnishing
our house and will most gratefully receive do
nations of any and all kinds of house furnishing,
articles, or merchandise, new or second hand.
As the season is approaching woen house
changes are usually made, we wouldmost earnestly
desire those who are refurnishing, to remember
ns, assuring them that to those who/are in need of
much, nothing can come amiss.
And now need we urge the untold importance of
this enterprise, the value of a single life reicued
from immorality and shame; the interest the whole
community ought to feel in a matter so vital to its
own well-being } Need we press home upon any
thoughtful mind these and such like considera
tior s, as reasons why every one should feel a per
sonal interest in and responsibility for the success
of our cause and do something in the bestowment
of liberal and seasonable aid to restore the fallen
once more to the paths of rectitude and peace?
Donations in money may be sent toourTreas

Barracks and drove the -force a short distance.
They remained, however, only a Bhort time, and
then retired. On the same nightaforce came down

The Last Night of the “Davenport Boys s ’
in Philadelphia. —The “Davenport Boys,”
with their accomplice Fay, gave, on Saturday
night, what they announced as .their last exhibi
tion of the season in Philadelphia, and we sir
cerely. trust that it will not onlyj.be the last of the
season, but the last for all time. The room was
well filled, free tickets having, been plentifully
distributed among the Spiritualists in town for the
purpose cf counteracting by their presence the in
fiuence of the unbelievers whom it'was expected
would be present.
The exhibition was the same old routine of flum
mery and toomfoolery which has been repeated
night alter night ever since the “Bovs” have been
performing here, and the scenes enacted elicited
the applause of the faithful, and excited laughter
and disgust among the skeptics who were present.
There was much disorder in the public room,, but
the confusion culminated in the dark ante
room where the “Medium” Fay was per
forming his share of the hocus-pocus. A party
of persons attended this sitting with the de
termination .to detect and expose the fraud,
tf possible, and a dark lantern was Hashed and
matches were struck at critical times, by the
doubting ones. The latter claimed that they had
detected the mediums in the act of untying them
selves, when the spirits were supposed to be doing it
and it waaalleged that the confederates who were
manipulating the guitars, Ac., had been seen by
tbe suddenly produced light. There was a con
stant scene ol confusion from the time this part of
. the stow commenced until it was ended, and the
cause of religion, order, morals and common
decency will be best served by the “Boys,” and
Messrs. Fay and Lacey, retiring at once into
private life. ' ■'
. We find in & late number of the Aeons County
(Wit.) Advertiser, the following notice of the
* Beys’ ’ which will be redd with inter*** at this
time,. The editor says:—“The following corres
pondence speaks for itself, it being a reply to a
question asked of Dr. WUUmoreby Dr. J. Philips,
of this place, in regard to the performances of the
‘Davenport Boys.' ”
“Kenosha, Jan. H, 1861. Dr. Whitapre —Sir:
I should have complied with your request a long
time ago, but I have been very bu«y and could or
did not find time. I make the following state
ment:
*»The ‘Davenport Boys’ were in this city the last
of June, 1863, and gave some two or three repre
sentations at ‘Simmons Hall’ of wha’. they called
Spiritual m *n\ftsiaHons. 1 attended one nf the
meetings and was appointed with Harvey Durkee
and Pro!. Stone as committee to investigate their
performance: their mode of operating, I presume,
U well known. Before the meeting Mr. Durkee
had applied to his hair a mixture of oil and lamp
black, so that a person applying his hand to his
head would e&aily show the evidence of contact.
• ‘Alter the ‘Boys had been securely tied in their
cage, Mr. Durkee took his seat between them, and
the door was closed. Soon the sounds commenced,
the Instruments began to play, and, as Mr. Dnr
kee states, a hand was felt moving over varioa*
portions.of his body, taking his watch out of hi*
pocket, Ac., and finally rested on the top of hi
head. He then asked the spirl’s to part his hair a
he used to when a boy, and they made the attempt
the dpor was at last opened, amd upon takiue a
light and examining the hands of the‘Boys* they
weie found tied as at first, but the hand of one o
them Was besmeared with oil and lampblack, de
rived undoubtedly from its contact with the head
cl Mr. Durkee. The besmeared hand 1 sew, and
can positively testify to the same. After the im
position was exposed the audience left the hall, and
the ‘Boys’ got out of town as boon as possible.
“Respectfully yours,
A. H. THOMPSON.
* ‘Mr. Phillips. I am in Ifoodstock, and hyre
been confined to the house two months, which is
(he reason that I did sot before. It they
want any more proof they can have it.
Ij. WHITMORE.”
‘ We have also heard a story of a Mr. lay, a
traveling “Spiritual Medium,” which will bear
repeating. It seems that a few yearn since the Fay
relerred to was traveling professionally iu the
southwestern States, and that in his “Manifesta
tions” he would invoke the presence of the spitits
of the departed fiiends of the believers among his
audience. He would also eommuuicate the wants
and desirceof these disembodied spirits, and the
ghosts wer» in the habit of asking their surviving
lriends for some token of remembrance. The
gulled ones would then bring brooches, rings,
bracelets and other valuables which would be
placed in a hat and. laid upon a table beside the
Medium, in the dark-room', and the Spirits were
invited to help themselves. When light was re
stored it was invariably found that they had
availed themselves of the opportunity, for the hat
was always empty. Perhaps “Mr." William Fay
of Chicago” can inform us whether this jewelry
admiring Fay was a relative of his own. or
whether he was some pretender who assumed his
name. For ourselves we are in utter ignorance
upon the subject, and give the story as we hare
heard it.

are 43 inches in diameto.-, 3 feet stroke of piston,
and 4 feet crank. She has Sewell’s surface con

tal tubular, having six furnaces, with two blowing
engines. She hits a true screw eleven feet in
diameter, 22 feet pitch. With her armor in, she
mads 11 knots per hour on her trial trip ; since

Around this coil some ten or"ilft©©n persons were j
