the birth of Washington, and in this city will be
celebrated with great spirii. The morning will be
ushered in by .the firing of cannons, and through
out the day there will be a continuous demonstra

to provide for any celebration upon the part of the
authorities.
At ten o’ clock in the morning the Soldiers of the

The Union League will also celebrate the day in

which speeches are expected from several gentle
men. The whole vriji conclude with a display of
fireworks.
The feature of the celebration will be the parade
of the military m the morning. The different
organizations in the city have almost unanimously
responded to the invitation of Brigadier-General
Ferry, and the turn-ont will be tne largest and
most imposing ever witnessed m the city. It is
estimated that there will be at least five thousand
men in the Hue. The arrangements for the pro
cession have been tompleied and the official order

Ths W AsniHOTOh Grits This old and
popular military company will take part in the
parade on Monday next, under the command of
Lieutenant F. W. Ralston. The Greys have es
tablished a elaim upon the popular favor by their
patriotic services since me war began. In
September, 18*2, when the State was invaded, they
were among the first to go to the border. When
Lee made bis great invasion last summer, they
again went into the field and served for two
months. There are now over one hundred
members of. the company commissioned officers
In the United Slates service; the excellent school
of practice which the members enjoy in the com
pany making them admirably qualified for the
duties of officers: and the mere fact of applicants
for commissions being members of me Washington
Greys is a recommendation with the military
authorities.

On Monday Eext smother anniversary of the
birthday of the • ‘Father of his Country’ ’ will be
observed, and, if we may judge from tbs pro
gramme of proceedings published by authority of
the commanding officer at this post. General Ferry,
the display will he one of unusual dimensions and
brilliancy. Not only will onr eitiaen soldiery
parade, and many of them have participated to
some extent in the exciting and sanguinary scenes
incident to the war,tbut the Tele ran Philadelphia
regiments will also the present, thus adding un
precedented etlat to the occasion. Many of these
participants will present a more than usually
pleasing and attractive appearanee, and
wherever such a contrast may be noticed, the ob
servers maybe convinced that their uniforms have
been purchased from ~Wutavaksr & Brown, S.
E. corner or Sixth ixd Markbt. Such is the
extent of their establishment, and the number of
their employes', that they are enabled to supply the
soldier without delay to the civilian, and as

not surprising there is such a demand for goods of
their make.

Pbozen to Death —This morning a man
named Wood, the proprietor of a small shoe-shem
at No. 1630 Ridge avenne, was found dead. The
deceased, who lived alone, was last seen alive on
Wednesday afternoon. He was under the in
fluence of liquor at that time. It is probable that
he was frozen to death on Wednesday night, as
nothing was seen of him after that time, until the
police entered the place this morning and found
his dead body.

Cotton and Linns Goods.—These descrip
tions of merchandise have become so cos’’y o! late
that consumers should exercise greai .nation in
the selection of their supplies. The cheapest am
quite dear enongh, and it is important to house
keepers to patronise fair dealers who are content
with a reasonable profit upon their wares. As a
valuable item of inf.rmation in this connection, we
may state that the immense quantity of Cotton
Goods handled by the well-known honse of
Messis. Cowperthsvait tc Co , northwest corner ol

men to offer to their patrons (who purchase by the
piece), muslins at the regular wholesale prices

Eye and Ear. Professor J. Isaacs, M.D., Oculist
and Aurist, No. 511 Pine street, has given his un
divided attention to these ailments for the last
twenty years, and it is fair to presume that such
an experience bas not been lostfto him. His great
success has been the occasion of numberless testi
monials from all sections of the city and country,
which may be seen by persona visiting the office.

Excillext Smoking ToBACco.-It is a very dif

a good quality of Smoking Tobacco, but we have
recently tried an article sold by E. H. Hunt, No.
511 Chestnut street, which is equal to the very best
we have ever placed in a pipe. It is the Kia-ne
no-ne-aw, originally prepared by the Indians,
from fine tobacco, mingled with roots and odorous
herbs. Its flavoT is pungent yet delicious, and
floats through the air like incense. It lights easily
and retains tbe fire a long time without incessant
drawing, and in every vray it is worthy of the
reputation it has attained. We commend it to

IMPORTANT DECISIONS.
Ttnitr JfeUt tnd tiu ConsiituiionaHty ef a*

A cnoorn rent not a debt.
This morning, m the District Court and Common
p !f“’ decision* were rendered touching the Oon
sutntiouality of the net of February as, 1832, an
theming the issue of legal tend.r notis and the
question whether a ground rent i* a debt. In the
Common Plea* the case originated in thi* wise:
Bobert Patterson, being the ovmer of two sepa
rat* lots of ground, each of which is subject touts
payment of an annual ground rent, tendered to
ihe respondents, who, as trustees, are the owners
of the rents reserved out of said lots of ground.
01 ,h ® P nn *>pal thereof, andhatprays!
that the respondents may be required to mate con
veyance of the same to him, so that they shall
merge and be forever extinguished.
.. T “* j C l. wa£ made in the paper currency of
th* United States, issued under ’the authority of
the act of Cengre»s_ of the 11th of July, 1882, which
currency, by the terms of *aid act, is made a le°al
Under, for all debts, public and private, except
dnliss on imports and interest on the public debt.
Tim rents in question were, by the covenants con
tained in the deeds, by which they were created,
made extinguuhable, on the payment.to the grantor
hie heir* and assigns, cf a specified number of
dollars, lawful silver money of th# United States,
‘ ,^! c.P ree, nl legal standard,fineness and weight.’ ’
This raised the question: Is a ground TBnt a
Mi ?- as the paper currency is a legal tender for
debt and for nothing else. Judge Allison, on de
livering the opinion of the Court, decides that a
ground rent ie not a debt, and for thi* Teasou tbe
Court declined to consider th* question of the con
stitutionality of the act of July llth, 1862.
In the District Court, in a case raising directly
tbe constitutionality of the act of Congress of Fehi
rcary 25, 186-2, Judge* Share and Stroud delivered
opinions affirming its constitutionality, while
Judge Sharswood read a dissenting opinion. An
the opinions were lengthy and discussed tho sub
jeet very fully.
AMUSEMENTS.
Gsrxax Opbba.—llotow’s beautiful opera of
StroMla is to be performed at three o’clock this
afternoon at the Academy of Musie. For Monday
eyeniug a great novelty is announced. Weber’s
grand opera of Glsren, which we think has never
been played in America, is to be produced, with
all the artists in the cast. This opera was written
for th* Covent Garden Theatre in London, and
was produced, under Weber’s own direction, on
the 12th of April, 1825. Miss Faton—afterwards
Mrs. Wood—and Braham.the great English tenor,
played the principal pans. Its success was im
mense. It was Weber’s last opera, for his health
failed soon alter its production, and he died m the
lollowmg year, in London. The overture is well
known to our musical public, and all of the music
is regarded as well worthy of the composer of Dir
Trtyuhklz.
Tbb Chestnut.—The audience at the Chestnut
laet evening forgot the coldness of the weather in
the genial company of ‘*The Fine Old English
Gentleman.” Mr. Harry Pearaon’stransfenna
lion lroxzx Hi* L&iic&shire lad to th* old innira vva3
as complete as it was sudden, and all who wit
nessed the latter impersonation heartily enjoyed it.
Mr. Knight performed the part of Horace very
well. Miss Sophie Gimher 1b a very promising
aetiess; with more study she will prove a valua
ble arlisif her voice is flexible and sweet and only
requires a little more cultivation. Mrs. Chapman
acted the pleasing lady-like housekeeper to per
fection—there seemed to he nothing assumed in her
performance. The afterpiece, was “The Lottery
Ticket,” and it created much merriment. -Chas.
Dickens would have recognised his own Quilp in
the character of Wormwood as Mr. Lennox gave
it. To-night * ‘The Fine Old English Gentleman’*-
will he repeated, with “All That Glitters isNot-
Gold.” There will alec be a matinee this after
noon, with" an excellent bill.
Tbb Abch —This evening that exquisite opera,
“The Bohemian Girl.” will be given by the
Bichings troupe. The entire company appear in
the east. The afterpiece is “Dick Tnrpin and
Tom King,” with Hill, Hobson, Aiksn and Miss
price in the various parts. ,
Tun Walnut. —This evening, as we are pleased
to announce, Miss Western appears in a new cha
racter. vis: Nancy Sykes, in “Oliver Twist.”
The farce is “The Picket oa Duty.” -
Tbb Mobbis Minstrels appear in a capital bill
to-uight at Concert Hall.
Tub Eleventh Street Opera House will
doubtless be crowded this evening, as a superb
Saturday night's bill is offered. - -
Signor Blitz. —Necromancy has been above par
this winter. The Signor has played an uhusu&Uy
long engagement and the season has been emi
nently successful. A few nights more and the
Temple ol Wonders will be closed. .This is the
last opportunity.
