CITY BULLETIN.
TEE CELLSITABLE INSTITUTIONS IN PHILA.DIL
?Md.—The report of the Select Committee of
the Senate of Pennsylvania, appointed to exa
mine and report upon the condition of the several
institutions receiving aid from the Common
wealth, has been issued in pamphlet form. We
make some interesting extracts relative to the
institutions.
The House of Refuge—is situated at Twenty
first and Poplar streets. The total cost of site,
buildings, and furniture of the institution, in
cluding both white and colored nepartments,
now used as a house of refuge, $348,000.
There are separate rooms in the white depart
ment for four hundred and thirty-two children
three hundred and four boys, and one hundred
and twenty-eight girls; in the colored depart
ment, for one hundre and ninety-eight chil
dren— one hundred and twenty-two boys, and
seventy-six girls. ' Six hundred and thirty
children in all can be comfortably accommo
dated.
On the Bth of December, 1828, the white de
partment received its first inmate. The colored
department *to opened on the Ist of January,
1850. The appropriations received from the
State amount to $B2 500 ; from Philadelphia
county, $45,000, and /rom the contributions of
the citizens of Philadelphia, $175,000. The
•balauce-of the cost-of-the new buildings was
derived from the gale of the old buildings and
lot which yielded $102;509) In 1863 the in
mates were 327 boys and' 130 girls, which is
larger than in any year since the opening. In
1828 there were 18 boyB and 3 girls.
The Pennrylrania Institution for the instruc
tion of the Blind is :located at Twentieth and
Race streets. The main building is 55 by 160
feet, and contains 69 rooms. The other build
ings swell the number of rooms to 211. The
total cost of the buildings and grounds wax
$116,193 38. The institution went into opera;
Lion in March, 1838. The State. has appro
priated $35,000 towards the erection of the
buildings. 1ii . 1833 the number of inmates was
-11, and in 1863, 180. The gross expenses aver
age about $40,000; the sales about $lO,OOO.
Average costkof each pupil from the organi
zation of the institution, $215 92 per annum,
for the direct items of boarding, clothing and
instruction. But theFost of the real estate im
provements from time to time, made for the
necessary accommodation of pupils, forms pro
perly apart of the charge for their maintenance,
and would considerably enhance the average
charge for their support. During the last
twen.ty_years, while the number of pupils in
creased from sixty-seven to one hundred and
eighty, the State has not been called on to con
tribute for building enlargements over $15,000.
All tber buildings and improvements since that
time have been borne by the institution, from
funds in band, part of the annual appropria
tions for pupils, and from private legacies in
part.
Forthern Home for Friendless Children.—
This institution is situated at - the corner of
Brown and Twenty-third streets, upon a lot of
ground one hundred feet front qnßrown street,
and two hundred and four feet in depth on
Twenty-third street, and was incorporated by
an act of the Legislature, approved the 26th
January, 1854. The total cost of thelot and
buildings is $36,166 91. An additional piece
of ground has been taken up on ground rent,
and an infirmary is being erected thereon.
This building, when completed, together with
the furniture appropriate to it, will cost about
$12,000, making the sum total of cost of lots,
buildings, furniture, &c., $48,166 91. The
Home will accommodate two hundred and fifty
children, and was established in the year 1853.
17p to !lay 1, 1863, the whole amount received
from the State Treasury was $25,000. Since
the commencement of this institution, the an
nual State appropriation has been $5,000 for
the support of the children. The number of
inmates in the Home in 1863 was 225. The
_whole amount expended for the fiscal year end
ing May 1, 1863, was $8,953 73.
The Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf
and Dumb, is situated on a lot bounded by
Broad, Pine, Fifteenth and Asylum streets.
The ground and buildings cost $108,770 68,
including the cost of the lot $16,514. 24. The
institution commenced operations in November
1820. The amount received from the Cora
monwealth, for the education and maintenance
of indigent deaf mutes educated'at the-expense
of the State in 1868, was $23,492 04. The
buildings are capable of accommodating com
fortably upwards of 200 pupils. The number
in 1863 was 181, which is a decrease of one
from the previous year. This number was ex
ceeded in 1859, 1860 and 1861, in each of which
years there were over 200. For the year 1862,
the cost of each pupil was $l6l 332. That of
1863, is estimated at $18232. The estimate .
for 1863 was made at the beginning of the year.
By the amounts actually paid from January 1,
to the middle of October, the average cost will
be $l9O to $l9B for each pupil.
The Penn Asylum for Indigent Widows and
Single Women.—The building contains twelve
rooms, ten of which are
.sleeping•apartnients.
The inmates numberforty-two; price Of ground
and house, $7,100, the house having been
used as a mansion by the West family, and
probably built in 1810; consequently in a di
lapidated state, and ha's cost over $l,OOO in
repairs. The property is now, however, clear
of all incumbrance. The institution was . es
tablished in 1852. In the years of 1859 and
1860 there sas appropriated by the Legislature
$5,000 for purchase and improvement; in 1862
and 1863, $l,OOO. The receipts have increased •
from $l,OOO to about $l,BOO including proceeds
of fairs, &c., held by the managers.'• -
The Wills Hospital was never him
porated, but went into operation in 1834. No
appropriation has as yet been received from the
State. There has been betmeathed to the insti
tutioa at Hu dry gam 4 3 / 7 ;//9 70. The

The number of these Homes in the United
States is 15, at which 10,254 seamen have been
taken care of during the year 1863. There are
S 6 regular Chaplains, not including those of
the navy, and 49 Bethels, at which there is an
average attendance of 4,780 every Sunday.
Amex° THE MEDICAL Outsaarrias of Phila.
delphia,few names stand higher than that of Dr.'
Von Moschzisker. The reputation he enjoys
as one of the best Oculists and Aurists of the
country has been justly and deservingly
awarded him. His services are sought by the
deaf and blind from every state and his ope
rations and successes are spoken of with due
appreciation of his eminent talents. Dr. von
Moschzisker has not only particularly shown
what can be dons for the deaf and blind by a
really scientific Oculist and Auxist, but, as a
writer, has rendered the greatest service to the
profession as is shown by the high praise of
the medical and general press, of his able work
on the Ear. Dr, Buchanan, in his Medical
Journal, in speaking of the book, says “it is a
production which exhibits the result of immense
labor and thorough knowledge of the subject."
THE WASHINGTON Gueans.—An adjourned
meeting of the Ist regiment Washington
Galardi was held on the 14th inst., to complete
arrangements for placing the regiment on a
footing with other local military organizations,
and be ready to respond to any call which may
be made, On the militia during the coming spring
campaign. Col. Wm. F. Small presided, and
Capt. Wm. P. Smith acted as Secretary. Th.
reports received showed the rapidity with which
this regiment is filling up; over six hundred
names having been enrolled during the past
week. ResolutionS were passed to the effect
that the organization be made pernianent dur
ing the present war, and the regiment be placed
in a condition to be among the first to take the
field. The Colonel announced the appointment
of Lieut. Alex. Russell as acting Adjutant.
FILL UP THE PoNDs.—ln the southwestern
part of our city there exist a large number, of
ponds, which become filled at every rain, and
before the water is dried up it becomes stag
nant, thus tending to breed 'disease among a
large population. It is also true that entire
amilies have been attacked with chills and
fever, resulting from the same cause.
owners of the property should be compelled to
fill them up. There are thousands of loads' of
dirt that could be dumped into them at a small
expense. Owners of the built-up property will
do well to abate the evil.
DEPARTURE OP COLORED Taoors.--Thelre
maining five companies of the 25th regiment
U. S. Colored Troops, Lieut. Col. Hitchcock
commanding, arrived in the city from Camp
Wm. Penn yesterday, and immediately
marched to the foot of Hanover street, Eigh
teenth Ward, where they embarked on a trans
port steamer for New Orleans. The pier was
crowded with the relatives and friends of the
soldiers who had assembled there to witness
their departure. As the steamer went down
the river the troops manned the rigging to
the upper Tarda and cheered /aetily antic they

mates in 1834 were 49 and in 1862, 268.
The cost of a patient in the latter year was
$165. No State patients are received, although
the greater number of the patients are from the
interior of the State rather than residents of
the city of Philadelphia. Under the will,
ctthe income is 'exclusively applied to the com
fort and accommodation of the indigent blind
and lame." When that is exhausted, patients
are received, -at from three or five dollars per
week, according to their ability or that of their.
friends. Amount expended dnring the last
year, $5,439 22; amount realized from all
sources, $5,787 16.
Eastern Penitentiary.—The total cost of
buildings and grounds was $673,620 86. The
amount appropriated by the State for build
ings and other improvements was $724,543 86.
St. Joseph's Hospital is on Girard avenue,
between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets.
The new main building, erected in 1862, is
sixty feet front on Girard avenue, and about
fifty feet deep ; cost complete, with steam heat
ing and cooking apparatus, rising $17,000. it
is connected with another building forty feet '
square, which is contiguous to another of same
dimensions. Both of these latter were on the
premises when purchased for the sum of $3O,-
000. Thei lot extends from Sixteenth to Se
venteenth streets, an entire square, and is two
hundred feet deep. The institution commenced
operations June 18th, 1849, and is under the
charge ,of the Sisters of Charity. The annual
expenditure is about $6,000. During the greater
part of 1863, the hospital was mainly occupied
by United States troops, and the expenses paid
by the Government. The appropriation of
$5,000 made by the Legislature, was devoted
to the payment of a mortgage on the premises.
Philadelphia School of Design for Women.—
This institution owns no lands, bat
rents buildings for its purposes. It was incor
parated in 1853, having ems' ted.for some time
before without incorporation.
At least thirty thousand dollars have been
contributed at various times to the support of
the school by private parties. At the session
of 1862, and also at the session of 1863, the
Legislature appropriated two thousand dollars
to be paid out of the school fund appropriated
to the city of Philadelphia.
A building has been purchased for $ll,OOO.
Within the last ten years, some three thou
sand dollars have been paid at the school for
designs, and for wood engraving—about three
fourths of which was paid to those who did the
work, the object of the school being more to
teach and train artists, and thus make their
powers available in their own bands after they
leave the school, than to find employment for
its pupils while they are students.
Ths Jewish Foster Home Society occupies a
three-story brick building at No. 1427 North
Fifteenth street, which cost $6,500; was in
corporated in 1855, and has had but one appro
priation of $l,OOO from the State. The average
number of inmates is thirty, and they cost about
$BO each, including boarding, clothing, educa
tin, &c. There are Jamie but orphans or chil
dren of indigent parents in the institution.
PENNS - MI - ANL& SEAttax's Fmarn Socrrry. --
This Association held its. Twentieth annual
meeting last evening at the Bible House, corner
of Seventh and Walnut streets.
The annual report was read, showing that a
great amount of good had been done to the
sailors through the instrumentality of the So
ciety. One of the provisions of the Society is
a Sailors' Home, in which they are cared for
while on shore,
and protected from rascally
boarding-house keepers; 1276 sailors,of whom
30 were shipwrecked, were accommoated there
during the past year.
The Society distributed among the sea
mm-3450 religious books; 28,108 pages of re
ligions tracts, and 3691 bibles last year.
The Treasurer reports the receipt of $3,-
321 75; and expenditures, $2,480 58; leaving
a balance of $B4l 17 on hand.
The Sailors' Home is being renovated and
enlarged, so as to accommodate a greater num
ber of seamen.

returned by crowds who had gathered along the
wharves.
CLERGYMEN FOR THE ARMY.—The Christian
Commission is making exertions to have some
of the most prominent among the clergy spend
a term of service in the army, as delegates.
Already quite a numlier, both in this city and
New York, have gone and returned. Rev.
Messrs. Durgen and Booth, of New York,
passed through this week; Rev. Dr. Adams and
Rev. Dr. Prentiss, of New York, leave for the
Army of the Potomac on Monday, with the in
tention of spending some time as delegates of
the Commission. Geo. H. Stuart, Esq., in
company with Rev. Dr. Kirk, and a delegation
of promineiit merchants from Boston, have re
turned from an extended visit to the Army of
the Potomac. They express themselves highly
pleased with their visit, and report a gratifying
religious interest among the soldiers.
A NEW HosprrAL.—The Board of Managers
of the Homoeopathic Infirmary, at a recent
meeting, decided to open a hospital, where
cases of accidental injuries could be admitted
and receive surgical treatment, and where dis
charged soldiers, disabled in their country's
cause, who prefer the Homoeopathic method of
cure, could likewise be admitted and cared for.
The building at the southeast corner of Eleventh
and Coates streets, has been leased preparatory
to opening wards for the sick and wounded.
Funds and hospital stores are needed to fur
nish and prepare them. Donations will be
thankfully received at the office of the insti
tution.
THE DAY'S RECEl:Frs.—The receipts kof the
Fifth and Sixth Street Railroad, on Tuesday
last, the day devoted to the Sanitary Fund,
amounted to $905 20. They would have been
still larger but for the necessity of the Com
pany withdrawing some of their cars from the
general travel to carry a body of soldiers on
their way to the Army of the Potomac.
LOST His Mosxv.—An individual who got
among the denizens of Pine alley, last night,
was relieved of $5O. Three women were
arrested upon the charge of having committed
the robbery, but as there was no witness to
appear against them, this morning, they were
discharged.
Ax
Earnsrsz Grx.—On Washington avenue
near the river may be seen a large fifteen-inch
gun weighing 42,230 pounds, which is intended
for Ihe two-turreted monitor Tonawanda, now
on the sectional dock at the Navy-Yard. The
gun throws a ball weighing 380 pounds.
A Sprxrr WomAx.—A woman residing in
the First Ward, was arraigned before Alderman
Dallas this morning, upon the charge of having
whipped her husband. She was sent below.
Tnoors Freserrn.— About one thousand
troops frOM the East, on their way to the army,
are expected at the Refreshment Saloons during
this afternoon and to-night.
BET. Jom Loan, D. D.—This distinguished
historian and lecturer will preach on to-morrow
(Sabbath) evening, in the Clinton Street
Church, Tenth, below Spruce;
UPHOLSTERT.—Patten makes a specialty of
promptness in this particular line. Persons who
have heretofore waited until their upholsterer was
ready !o commence their work, will find it very
agreeable to have workmen despatched at once as
soon as the order is given at Patten's West End

CLAMS OF TEE SEWING MAOHINE.--Th#3.-
most eminent medical authorities in the Land have
declared that the habitual use of a Wheeler & Wil.
son Sewing Machine in a family would accomplish
more for its health and happiness than the most
potent medicines have the power to bestow. The
Wheeler & Wilson machine has been singled oat -
for this high ecomium, doubtless, front the well
known fact that sewing upon it is performed with
less' draft upon the strength of the operator 'than
on any other sewing machine ever invented. Be
sides this, it makes the best work. is more durable,
and performs a greater 'variety of work well, than
all its rivals combined. We wish it was in our
power to introduce one of these invaluable labor,
life, and money-saving instruments into every .
household in the land.
The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine is thee
best, the simplest and the cheapest.
More of the Wheeler & Wilson are soli than all
other Sewing Machines Combined.
All good dressmakers, seamstresses, and shirt..
makers use the 'Wheeler & Wilson in prefeienoe to •
all other Sewing Machines.

PREPAIMG FOR looldno. a aroattd
among the various business establishments of this
city we have found none more thoroughly pre
pared to meet the wants of the season on a racist
mrgnificent scale than the popular old clothing
house of Messrs. O. Somers & Son, No. MS-Chest
nut street, under Jayne's Hall. Their imports
tions of fine cloths, cassimeres, and other choice
fabrics for spring, are at onco large and in -suitni
table taste, and their styles of ready-made gar
ment are unsurpassed by any others in the world.
among other choice novelties now offered in this
stock we noticed yesterday the most elegant piece
of genuine old English 'Cassimere that we have
seen in this country for twenty years. It is, in
fact, a perfect counterpart of the skin, in color
and texture. Go see it.
