CITY BULLETIN.
INSTALLATION OY PEOPESSORS.•PrOf. Lem
uel Stevens and Dr. P. H. Vanderwede r who
were elected to the Professorehip of Moral
Science and Industrial Science, ih Girard
College, positions recently authorized, were
installed yesterday afternoon, with appropriate
exercises which were conductedin the audi
ence room at the College. The Trustees of the
College, Members of Councils, the Principal of
the Central High School, and the Faculty of
the College, with their wives and daughters,
were in attendance. Major Richard S. Smith,
President of the College, presided. The read
ing of the 104th Psalm, ex tempore, opened the
exercises. President Smith then gave a recital
of the improvements which the College had
made. Through successive gntdations it has
advanced until it contains six hundred pupils.
For the instruction of these the Councils of the
city bad instituted two new departments of
learning, and the inauguration of the gentlemen
selected to preside over these departments was
the duty of the present occasion.
Gustavus Remak then introduced the profes
sors elect, accompanying the introduction with
some brief, but pertinent remarks. Addresses
were then delivered - by the new Professors;
John Q. Ginnode, Chairman of the Committee
of Councils on Girard Estates; Dr. A. L.
Kennedy, of the Polytechnic College and Hon.
Richard Taus President of the Bost of
Directors of Girard College.
Svriera,mo A RECRUIT.—DanieI Henry was
before Aid. Beitler yesterday afternoon upon
the charge of conspiracy. It appears that
Thos. Seely wanted to enlist in a Pennsylvania
Regiment, and meeting with Henry, was told
by him that - he would get him enlisted. By
some means, Henry, with the aid of another
man, induced Seely to go over to Camden,
from thence he was taken to Trenton, and there
enlisted-in Company K, 7th New Jersey regi
ment. The individual who accompanied him
received $325 bounty money, paying over to
Seely $l3O, and telling him he would get the
rest in iTew days. The soldier, however, has
seen nothing& the man or the remainder of his
bounty since. The affair occurred on the. 21st
of February. Henry was held in $BOO bail for
a further hearing.
A Rart.w.sy Movemarr.—The Fifth and
sixth Street Passenger Railway Company has
inaugurated the movement saucing the, railway
companies upon behalf of the great Sanitary
Fair. The entire revenue of the road on
Tuesday next will be presented to the Com
mission, and in order that the receipts may be
swelled to the largest amount possible, it is
suggested that those holding complimentary
tickets shall pay their fare on that day. Should
the other passenger railway companies in the
city imitate the example set by the Fifth and
and Sixth, a very handsome sum would be
realiatd.
ANOTHER DISMAL SATLNDAY.—If the sun
should make its appearance on Saturday in this
section of the country, people might begin to
have serious thoughts of the world coming to
- an end. With the exception of two or three
times we have not had clear weather on Satur
day for a long period. Upon the last two Sat
urdays there were heavy northeast showers,
with rain, bail gad snow alternately. There is
a very great contrast between the beautiful
spring-like weather of the past few days and the
raw, chilly atmosphere of to-day. Though we
have not had a storm yet to-day, the wind is
E. N. E. with every indication of a momentary
break in the clouds.
Stumm° .Accmirarr.—A little boy, named
George Stokely, awed two yeam.was run over
by a Hestonville Passenger car, yesterday
afternoon, in front of the residence of his pa
rents, No. 1726 Callowhill streets. He was
mangled in a shocking manner, and died in
about two hours after being imn into his
home. Coroner Taylor will hold an inquest
in the case on Monday afternoon next.
Edward Murray, the driver of the car, was
arrested. He was taken before Aid. Pancoast,
and was held in $BOO bail for a further hearing,
LIE FREE MILITARY ACADEMY.—An interest
ing pamphlet relative to this school has just
been issued by the Supervisory Committee for
Recruiting - Colored Regiments. Upwards of
two hundred oflicgrs, privates and civilians are
now attending the school. • Sinde the opening
of the school ninety-eight of the pupils have
been sent to Washington for examination. Of
that number two passed as Colonels four as
Lieutenant-Colonels, six as Majors, thirty as
Captains, and fifty-two as Lieutenants.
GOD IN NATURE.—Rev. Alex. Clark, editor
of the School Visitor, and junior pastor of the
Church of the New Testament, corner Eleventh
and Wood streets, is announced to preach to
morrow morning on a subject which will be
peculiarly appropriate and impressive for the
opening spring. Mr. Clark's congregations
are steadily increasing, and his ministrations in
connection with Rev. Dr. Stockton, are highly
appreciated. Soldiers and strangers are espe
cially invited.
ThirrtovoKED AssAtnrr.—Peter Gann was ar
rested last night upon the charge. of having
assaulted a young colored man.. The latter
alleges that he was attacked while he was
quietly passing Ninth and Poplar streets. The
accused will have a hearing this afternoon at
the Central. Station.
Roam Rscnc.x. Psaooxaas, -- Five hundred
rebel prisoners from Alton, Illinois, reached
the city yesterday afternoon, under guard of
seventy-one men of the Tenth Kansa,s Regiment,
commanded by Capt. Hill. The prisoners were
taken to Fort Delaware, on board the steamer
Major Reybold.
CHARMING SOMER.—A grand musical and
literary soiree will be given by the Alumni of
the Girls' High and Normal School at the
Academy of Music, Monday evening, April 11.
The programme will be found in another col
;limn. It is very attractive.
Ww Wouin call the attention of those seek

is in a highly, prosperous c'ondition; the divi

by some of our well-known and most-respected
citizens.
AERIVAL OP A Vaisrust Rsatmsur..—The
97th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, Col.
Henry R. Gfiss arrived in the city last night
from Florida, flaying re-enlisted for the war.
The regiment entered the service 964 strong,
and 337 have returned. The 97th has partici
pated in the seige of Charleston, but more re
cently has been in active service in Florida.
TRH DEPARTMENT OP CITY PROPERTY.—The
officers of this Department have followed the
example of the clerks and messengers of Coun
cils, and the policemen, and have resolved to
devote the salary of one day to the U. S. Sani
tary Commission for the great fair. It is pre
sumed that all the other employees of the City
Governmentwill do likewise.

Tam GkFAT CENTRAL Fes.—Noiv that
everybody is, or ought to be, actively interested
in making the Central Fair of the Sanitary Com
mission's great financial success, we have a word
for the ladies of our city. Idr. John W. Finn,
southeast corner of Arch and Seventh streets now
offers at reduced prices, to be used for Fair pur
poses, a magnificent assortment of zephyrs, Shet
land wool, gilt braids; embroidering silk, canvas
zephyr patterns, cottons, the popular German
town 'Wool, woolen and Cashmere yarn, gimps of
every description, laces, hosiery, dress trimmings,
a superb assortment of Sun Umbrellas, traveling
bags, perfumery, balmorals, black alpacas, and a
hundred other things of taste and utility.
Ia Sun Umbrellas, we may - add, Mr. Finn also
offers a splendid assortment,. embracing all the
latest styles, at moderate prices. His store at
Seventh and Arch is one of the most popular re
sorts for ladies who have shopping to do in Phil
adelphia, and we would again remind ladies in
terested in the Central Fair of this fact.
A GRIAT Ruvrarxoz WalL Srmnrin).—
The first desideratum to be achieved by any new
article is to gain a reputation, and the second is to
maintain it after it has been made. We know of
no more striking instance in which both these re
quirements have been realized than in the cele
brated Grover, Baker Sewing Machine, sold in
this city at no Chestnut Street. It has been long
since well understood that in all the essentials of a
first-class Family Sewing Machine the Grover . 1 / 4
Baker instrument is preferable to any other, and
the experience of ten thousand families in this city,
new having these machines In use, affords us the
best evidence that they have not only maintained
their gord name, but that they will continue to do
so in the face of any and all competition that can
be arrayed against them. The Grover , 1 / 4 Baker is
the only machine ever invented that executes fine
embroidery. We commend the Stitching Rooms
of this company to the attention of the ladies.
Tax DELIGIErICL SPRING WZA.TIITTS o 1 YEs-

that the time to invest in a new suit adapted for

mind involuntarily recurs to themagatticent stock

have taken great pains to present to their patrons

To THE lIcTELLIOrWT IND .DISCIMITNATING
FraLlo. —The Improved : Elliptic Sewing Machine,
No. 701 Chestnut street, N. W. corner of Seventh.
Printers' ink,judiciously used, is certainly of
great bene fi t to the business man and the public at
large. Fortunes have been made and kingdoms
overthrown; although every day the intelligence
of our community is offended by the paid news
paper braggadocio of certain adventurers trying to
impost upon them all kinds of bogus wares, ma
chines, &c., of extremely doubtful utility. Again
there appears a most wonderful challenge for com
parison, to give some plausibility to said claim.
Such bravado is.deemed as closely bordering upor.
desperation, to bolster up and induce sales at any
sacrifice o' conscience and honor. We. in calling
the attention of the intelPsomt and discriminating
public to the improved Elliptic Lock Stitch Sew
ing Machine, prefer to rely upon the thoroughly
established character of the Elliptic to recom
mend it is the most perfect instrument for sew
ing fine fabrics, claiming for it:
Eight years' use and testing upon all kinds of
material.
By the dress maker, and upon children's and
ladies' clothing.
For hemming, felling, tucking, braiding,
gathering, quilting, stitching, Jcc., &c.
Using all kinds or cotton and linen thread.
Making a beautlfnl, even and tight stitch, that
cannot be raveled orkirawn out.
Motion rotary. thereby gaining great durability,
speed and strength.
Great ease of moticia br reason of no friction of
reversible movements, slinttle or shuttle race.
Its entire simplicity perfectly discernible.
It is no new fancy experimental machine, -
But has gained its preeminence by many
Eery machine fully warranted, and of exqui
site style and finish.

"CONrECTIONS Penn Dallika."—We need
hardly inform our lady readers that Messrs. J. W.
Proctor & Co.'s annual opening, on the 29th ult.,
of Paris-made Mantillas and Spring Cloaks,
( ~C crtfections pour Dames," as Parisians have it)
at their warerooras, 920 Chestnut thee, was a
great alleCeSa, not only in the extent, richness and
varieties of the garments displayed, but in the
general admiration and discriminating praise
which they elicited. The ladies were delighted,
and so were we. We have been accustomed to at
tending the.;annual "Openings" -of this popular
old house !Or several seasons past, and have always
found a degree of freshness and fertility of taste
in their garments that did them in
finite credit, and, we believe, always-,
bror gb tto them an abundance of buyers. Bat
this seaeon they have fairly surpassed themselves.
In the department of French Mantles alone, (a
magnificent stock of which they now offer, se
lected by Mr. Proctor, personally, during his re
cent visit to, Europe, in the very first establish
ments of Paris,) this display is worth the inspec
tion of all who have an eye for gracefulness and
beauty in female attire. A favorite type of the
French mantles in silk is the Sacque, made with
either two or three seams, neatly though richly
trimmed in what is termed the epaulette style.
Most of these garments exhibited are of the richest
,9 70$ faye silk: We may state that one of the ad
vantages of selecting - a mantle' in a stock of this
character is, that by stipulating for it a garment
can be had which will not be duplicated daring the
entire season. Of course, as the exclusiveness of
these patterns is purchased at high prices by the
firm in question, their charges correspond; al
though prices this season seem tobe a small object,
indging from the frequent sales of cloaks Messrs.
'Proctor & Co. are now making, at prices varying
from fifty to two hundred and fifty dollars each.
We would, of course, not be understood from this
that they have not an assortment of more medium
priced goods. Their stork of the latter will be
found unsurpassed by any, other in the country.
In Cheih Idantles several exquisite novelties are
presented, one of the chief of which is their block
checks and plaids. - These are destined to be very
popular. In the plainer styles of cloaks, adapted
to the more subdued taste of the "Quaker City,"
they have an elegant line of garments, of various
textures In plain colors, interspersed with some of
gayer hue, many of which are of sufficiently thin
fabrics to be worn 'with comfort throughout the
warm season.
The "Biarritz Yachting Jacket," a large assort
meet of which are arranged in the "Opening,"
are a very pretty. jannty.sty le of short garment,
much in yogne in Paris, for promenading, and
that will be largely sold here this season for young
ladies for the street and the sea side. Upon in
quiry we found that, among the Parisian houses
from which the imported part of this stock was
selected, are those of Worth lc Bobergh• Fa Platal
lc Berger; Mme. Provost Nash; the Masson
Gagelin; Armandville; Wisneck /c Co , and
others. We know that the patrons (Atha popular
establishment will second our judgment in stating
that its present stock, without detracting from
their displays of former seasons, is better selected,
more nrique in all its departments, and in more'
perfect harmony with the correct and cultivated
taste of our Philadelphia ladies.
SPLENDID FIFE CONTECTIONS.—In noticing
the variety of manufactures for which our city is
so justly conspictrous, we observe among the arti
cles of taste the fabrication of confectionery. To
the perfection which of late years has marked the
fine confections produced in Philadelphia, may be
attributed much of the increased consumption and
sale of the delicious compounds which are now so
popular with all. No one has contributed so much
to the perfection of this branch of manufactures as
Mr. Stephen F. Whitman, No. 1210 Market street,
and no one certainly enjoys a greater reputation or
meets with a more liberal share of patronage than
he. His extensive sales enable Ma to have all his
goods in the best condition and always pure and
fresh. Those who wish su pe rior fine confections
should purchase of Mr. Whi tm an, whose stock em
braces all desirable varieties.
Holly ABOUT THZ Fira.—The completion of
the buildings on triton Square, New York, com
plete the Idetropolitan Fair, and when the visitor
from the rural districts has exhausted all his ad
relives white wandering through the mazes of
beauty offfred to Fonnteerith street he will hear
with astonishment that oa Vnionliquare then le
another building almost as extensive, unite as ele
gant, and containing some features of novelty,
splendor and variety, which render it the rival of
its sister edifice In 'Philadelphia we will soon
have a Fair wb kb will throw Gotham entirely in
the shade; while the visits rs to the great show will
be afforded an opportunity of procuring elegant
suits atthe Brown Stone Clothing hall of Rockhill
fr. Wilson, cos. 603 mat 605 Chestnut street above
Sixth
Tin VERT BEST.—TIie fact is generally re
cognised and conceded that the Confectionery made
by E. G. Whitman.. Co., N 0.315 Chestnut street,
below Fourth, is.quite equal (and wa think a httlir
better) to the best made upon either side of the At
lantic. It Isa common sense conclusion that the
best possible materials, the meet skillful work
manship, a rare inTentiTeness, and a conscien.
uons regard for the interests of the customer, must
result in first-class wares. All these requisites
and conditions are possessed by 'Messrs. E. G.
Whitman Co., and bow well their exertions to
please succeed, is attested by their legions of pa
trons.
MEssus. WOOD & CART, 725 Chestnut street,
now offer the largest,most stylish,and in all respects
most desirable stock of Ladies' Spring Bonneta in
Philadelphia. This is the opinion of our most
fashionable ladies of taste.
OIL WELLS or PESNSYLTANIA.—A reporter
of the Pittsburgh Chroniclg has been gathering
some interesting statistics in relation to the
great oil wells of Pennsylvania. He says the
oil trade has grown from a half dozen barrels a
year to hundreds of thousands. The arrange
ments for the opening season have been made
on a large scale. Wells will be sunk to a depth
never contemplated before. In fact, it looks
as if our people were going 'to well•digging
without limit. For some time oil arrived at
Pittsburgh and was disposed of without paying
wharfage; so that it would be impossible to give
anything like a correct estimate of the real
products of those extraordinary wells at the
outset. The first official account we have of
the receipts by river, dates from February Ist,
1862, that being the date fixed by city ordi
nances for the collection of wharfage.
The real products of the wells will never be
ascertained, as thousands of barrels have been
lost by fire and by pond freshets; besides, large
quantities have been shipped by railroad and
landed at refineries above the city limits.
What we propose to give, is merely what has
arrived at the Allegheny wharf. The state
ment can be relied on, it being official. It ex
hibits a total of 534,307 barrels, from February
Ist, 1862, to April Ist, 1864, as follows:
Barrels.
From Feb. 1, 18.69. to May 1 - 8,620
From May 1, 18.62 to Aug. 1 36,556
From Aug. 1, 1664 to Nov. 1 18,530
From Nov. '62-'6a to Feb. 1 80,975
From Feb. 1, 1863 to May 1 _90,561
From May 1, 1863 to Aug. 1 74,414
From Aug. 1, 1e63.t0 Nov. 1. 56,313
From Nov. 1, '63-' 64 to Feb. 1 78,516
From Feb. 1, 1864 to April 1 39,809
Total number of barrels 551,331
SIZE or Sr. PETER'S CatatcH.---President
Fairfield, in endeavoring to give an idea of the
size of St. Peter's Church at Rome, refers par:
ticularly to the dome, which is of massive stone
work, and supported by four large columns and
arches connecting them. Each- of these four
pillars, he says, occupies as much space on the
floor of the church as an edifice eighty feet
long and fifty feet wide; which is larger, pro
bably, than any church building in New
England outside of the principal cities. The
dome, it provided with seats as economically as
Surgeon's chapel in London, would hold six
thousand persons; and if lifted from the top of
-St. Peter's church and let down over Henry,
Ward Beeeher's_church, in Brooklyn, would
cover it completely, without touching it on• any
part. And yet it does not appear too large for
the edifice on which it stands; and the immense
columns whirl support it are but little in the
way in the interior of St. gQter's.

"TEES HONE oP wAstmpromi,
There is now en exhibition at Ririe & Sins,
•
816 Chestnut street, an exquisite engraving by
Barlow, of Mignot &. Rossiter's great picture,
-
"The Home of Washington," comnactrudrating
Lafayette's visit to Mount Vernon in 1-781; la
accordance with an invitation frorn the Rather
of his Country, Lafayette spent, two weei, in
the August of that year, under the hosoable
roof of his distinguished friend, which - is the
period chosen for illustration.. The busy vo
tion of the day is over, and the family portiorb
of the Iniusehold are congregated tinder MT"
ample portico. The General and his noble
guest have, arisen; from their-chairs and are
standing in colloquy—Washington in the act of
speaking, and Lafayette, leaning against a pillar
in a deferential manner, holds' a newspaper in
his hand, suggestive that the discourse is a
topic of the times. Mrs. Washington is sew-'
ing, while her daughter-in-law, Mrs, Stuart,
(formerly Mrs. John Parke Custis,) and mother
of the two children, is reading a note. Leaning
upon the grandmother's lap is Eleanor Parke
Custis, who has sought her protective presence,
while her brother George Washington Parke
Custis, fires a small cannon, with the assistance
of a negress 3 who is blowing a lighted match.
There are other accessory figures on the lawn
and in the distance, and on the river is a neigh
bor's barge, rowed by six servants in red livery—
suggestive of the state which prevailed among
the planters of the Potomac at that period; and
as this river enjoyed an extensive commerce,
over the trees are seen the masts of ships moored
at Mount Vernon, landing and receiving cargoes
for England. The topographical features, as
certained from inquiry, are delineated, as far
as possible, to accord with the date of the pic
ture. The head of Washington is painted from
an original transcript of the Houdon Bust, the
modeller of which-came to this country at the
solicitation of Jefferson and Franklin, for the
purpose of making a statue for the Legislature
of Virginia, and is considered by those who are
familiar with Washington's features, as far the
best representation of him extant. rashington
expired in an upper room, which was lighted by
the two farthest windows seen under the roof
of the portico.
The engraving of this picture has just been
completed at a timewhen Americans cling with
particular fidelity to the glorious - traditions of
the past, and the image of the gallant chief in
his beautiful home awakens sentiments of affec
tion and gratitude, while the- peaceful security
indicated by the representation, and obtained
by so many trials and such noble resistance,
arouses the hope in patriotic minds of the
Future that shall spring out of, our war-stirred

A SAD C.LsE.—Last evening a crazy woman,
about thirty year of age, was , found at the
Market street depot by officer. B. J. Gott, and
taken to the Police Station. She was =rime
to go to Washington, for which place she had
a through ticket, but had taken the 6.lo_traix . t
from New York by mistake, and at the depot
the conductor put her off: , She had a carpet
bag containing jellies and other lux.uries,but in
throwing it from the train the contents were
completely destroyed. At the Police Station
$7B were found upon her, and a letter written
in the German language, irected to Mrs. Emily
Marsh (which is supposed to be her name)
signed by Arthur. Marsh, and dated at the Stone
U. S. A. Geqeral Hospital, Ward 3, Washing
ton, April 4th. She was placed in a cell, where
she tore, her clothes completely offiand they
had to be taken away to prevent their destruc
tion. She raves continually, occasionally
speaking of her husband, who: she says is a
captain in Washington. She is a fine looking
German woman, but speaks broken Englisk
quite plainly.—Zfewerk Advertisers 6:
