curve and the letters are in roman capitals.
In the counterfeit the words are in a straight
line and the letters are in German text.
A WHOLE FAMILY POISONED.—The fa
mily of Mr. Patrick McLaughlin, residing
at No. 2316 Spring Garden street, was poi
soned yesterday. It seems that Mr. Mc-
Laughlin, his wife, two children and his
nephew and niece, partook of breakfast at
different times during the morning, and
each one was taken seriously ill within two
hours afterwards. Some two or three
physicians were immediately sent for, who,
upon arriving at the house and examining
the sick persons, pronounced their illness to
have been occasioned by poison. Mr.
McLaughlin, who was the fast to eat break
fast, was the most seriously affected, being
unable to speak for several hours subse
quent. It was thought at first that he
would not recover, but he gradually became
better, and last evening was pronounced
out of danger. The other five suffered
somewhat during the early part of the day,
but at no time were considered dangerously
ill. Besides McLaughlin and wife, the
victims are Margaret, aged nineteen, and
Michael, aged seventeen, their children;
also, James McLaughlin, aged twenty-one,
Jane McDevitt, aged twenty-three, their
nephew and niece. James , after eating
breakfast, had proceeded to his work, but,
being taken sick, was obliged to return
home. A younger son of Mr. McLaughlin
escaped the poison. He did not get up till
some of the others were taken sick, and,
being obliged to go for a doctor, was pre
vented from eating his breakfast. The
poisoning is supposed to have resulted from
the coffee which they all drank during the
• morning meal. Whether it resulted from
the coffee itself or from an ingredient placed
within it is yet to be developed. A portion
of the coffee-grounds was taken by one of
physicians to be analYzed. The affair
created quite a sensation in the neighbor
hood.
It is supposed that the poison of which the
family 4 was the 'victims, was laudanum,
which had been carelessly left in a cup, and
that this cup was used in measuring out the
coffee.
ANOTHER Hoancinn.—Coroner Taylor
held an inquest, yesterday afternoon, upon
the body of Dennis, McLaughlin, who died
at the Pennsylvania Hospital on Christmas,
from the effects of a blow upon the head,
inflicted by a fellow workman, at the
brewery of Massey. d Collins, about three
weeks ago. It appeared by the evidence
that while engaged in rolling casks, the
hook on the tackle above fell and struck
:McLaughlin on the head. He became
greatly incensed at Christian Heitzman,
who was employed in that part of the ma
chinery, and for several days was calling
him opprobrious names. Finally he threa
tened to kill Heintraum, and threw an adze
at him. This missing him,.he advanced to
wards him with a broom. Heintzman met
his assailant by striking him on the head,
and when he fell, kicked him. McLaughlin
was then taken to the Hospital, where he
died. The verdict of the jury was that the
deceased came to his death from injuries re
ceived by being struck on the head with a
hammer, by Christian Heitzman, on Taes
!day, Nov. 28th, 1865,at the brewery of Maa-

Fey & Collins, from the effects of which he
died, at . the Pennsylvania Hospital, Den.
25th, 1865. The jury are of opinion that the
said blow was given in self-defence.
ENTERTAINMENT AT THE NORTH ERN
HOME FOR FRIENDLESS CHILD REN.—Yes
torday, afternoon, notwithstanding the un
pleasant state of the weather, a large audi
ence assembled at the Northern Home, to
witness the exercises and havea peep at the
beautiful Christmas scene. All were de
lighted: Short addresses were made by
Messrs. Murphey, Matlack and Claghorn,
after which a handsome Christmas book
was given to each child, and the Christmas
garden thrown open to the inspection of the
visitors. It was greatly admired. The
working of the railroad, fountain and mill,
was perfect. To-morrow (Friday afternoon)
and on Monday (New Year's) afternoon, at
the same hour, the exercises will be repeated,
with some variations. The proceeds of these
pleasant entertainments are to be applied to
the furnishing of the school room with
desks, ttc. As the Home may be reached
easily by the Ninth street cars, it is hoped
there will be a full attendance to-morrow,
and a large sum realized for the purposes
named.
CITY LOANS CANCEI4ED.—The annual
meeting of the Commissioners of the Sink
ing Fund was held yesterday. The object
of the assemblage was to cancel the certifi
cates of the city loan purchased by the Com
mission and redeemed by the City Trea
surer. The following statement shows the

A FIRE PROOF BUILDING FOR THE ACA
DEMY OF NATURAL SCIENCE-S.-At the last
annual meeting of the Academy of Natural
Sciences, resolutions were reported by a
committee appointed to propose measures
to enhance the prosperity of the institution,
and were unanimously adopted. They pro-
vide for the erection' of a new fire-prop
building for the Academy. A committee° •
forty members is to solicit and receive sub-
scrcptions, and also to prepare and publish
a short history of the Academy,its purposes,
its usefulness and its wants. Subscribers
aye only to be liable in case the aggregate
amount subscribed shall equal or exceed
$lOO,OOO, Subscribers of $l,OOO, or upwards,
will receive the thanks of the society, hand-
somely engrossed, and will be entitled to
life membership, with free admission to the
lectures, and will also receive, free of cost,
for life,all the publications of the Academy.
Subscribers of $lOO, or upwards, are to have
free admission to the museum and rectures
and the right to purchase the publications
on the same terms as members. Dr. W. S.
W. Ruschenberger was appointed chairman
of the committee. A committee of five was
also appointed to select a suitable site for
the new building, and no lot of less than
three times the size of the one now occupied
by the Academy, is to be considered.
BOLD ATTEMPT AT ROBBERT.—Before
Alderman Beitler yesterday afternoon,
James Miller was charged with attempted
larceny. It seems that the defendant hired
a dray and attempted to carry off three
hogsheads of sugar, valued at SSO each. He
took the carter to Nos. 310 and 312 South
Delaware avenue, unlocked the door and
told him to take the three hogsheads to
Twelfth and Parrish streets. Miller then
left. While the drayman was loading, he
was accosted by a clerk in the place, and
the whole thing at once became apparent.
The drayman accompanied an officer to
Twelfth and Parrish. Miller as soon as he
saw them, ran, but after an exciting chase
was overtaken and captured. He was com
mitted to answer.
BLIND TOM continues his piano solos at
the Academy of Music every afternoon and
evening, and notwithstanding the very
unfavorable state of the NI eather draws very
fair audiences. We can very readily imag
ine that no ordinarily bad weather would
deprive the crowds of the privilege of hear-.
ing Tom, if there are any among them who
had the pleasure of witnessing his perform
ances during his former visit to our city.
Tom's concerts are of such a refined char
acter that even the most scrupulous may
attend them with benefit. The present is
the last opportunity our citizens will have
of hearing this sable pianist, as we learn he
starts for Europe early in the Spring. We
advise all to see him before he goes.
DEATHS AMONG THE DRAMATIC PROFES
sioN.—During the past year the following
deaths have occurred among the dramatic
or musical profession of this city:

THE great sale of Oil Paintings and
Pastels from the American Art Gallery,
New York, commenced last evening at
Scott's Art Gallery, 1020 Chestnut street,
and notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, the attendance was large and the
bidding spirited, but the prices realized did
not come up to our expectations. The sale
will be continued this evening at VI o'clock,
when about 100 of the most choice of the
catalogue will be disposed of.
MERITED TESTIMONIALS.—Rev. E. E.
Adams, D. D.,
pastor of the North Broad
street Presbyterian Church, was the reci
pient, on Christmas, of a number of valu
able gifts from members of his congrega

congregation of which he is the pastor is
among the most prosperous in the northern
part of the city.

TRE Cu s Christmas night "The Sleep.
ing Beauty, gorgeously arrayed, was presented at the
Chestnut With triumphant success. In the general
opinion it is Considered as broad a burlesque as "The
Fair One with the Golf en Locks" or `Beauty and the
Beast," quite as laughable, has less abominable onus
and more genuine humorla well acted throtighout.and
in its final transformation is surpasalnely tine. Setting
all attempts at probability or serious Ideas at bold de
fiance, such pieces as these disarm criticism and defy
abuse. They pretend to be nothing but mere pleasant
entertainments. and as such they seem to have lateen
the place of the old time harlequinades in the holiday
performances of the theatres. The grand tableau in
which. when sleep has sealed the eyelids of the court.,
the "Sleeping Beauty" Is left upon her conch In the
guardianship of protecting spirits, la deservedly ad
mired as a very fine picture, grouped with great
artistic skill. The singing, dancing, &c., are truly su
perb, and worthy of more elaborate eulogy than we
can give to-clay.
THE Ascst.—"Lost in London" draws wonderfully
at N re. Drew's Theatre. It is a remarkably fine drama
and Is worthy of Its success in New York.. We will
speak further of its great merits hereafter.
Tux WALNUT.—"Faust and Marguerite" and "Bro
ther Sam" will be repeated this evening.
CONCLUT HALL WITII HS.LLEIL—Thin artist—he is
an artist in every sense of the word—makes his first
appearance for the three years past, on Monday, the
first day of the new year. Whatever may be our pre.
indices In favor of his predecessors in mlc, we con
fess ourselves obliged to say that he is a perfect original
in his way. We have seen him during the pact year in
New York, and own that he stands alone in the art of
makingvlsible things disappear and bringing invisible
things to light. He has exposed the Davenports but who
is going to expose him? In music be is equally great.
Msplaying upon the piano was alone enough to nave
made him famous, but like Alexander, he sighed for
new worlds to conquer. and unlike Alexander, plunged
into an invisible one—if we may say so—that of magic.
At any rate he now visits us as a musician and magi
cian, and will make his mark amongst us. He will
equal Ii ermann and rival Thalberg, as he has done in
New York, or what is he worth? Let us confess that
he is a man of mark before we see and hear him, and
after we have seen and heard him, we may indicate of
what mark he is.

Death of Cutter the Poet.
[From the Wilshlngton Star. WednesdAYJ
On Christmas day Capt. Geo. W. Cutter,
the poet, formerly of Kentucky, died at
Providence Hospital, on Capitol ill, where
he was admitted a few weeks since on an
order from the Commissioner of Public
Buildings.
Capt. Cutter was a descendant of a Mas
sachusetts family, and was born in Quebec,.
Canada. In early life he settled in the'
West, and practised law in Kentucky until
the breaking out of the war with Mexico,,
when he raised a company and joined Tay
lor's army on the Rio Grande. He served
with him to the close with distinction. Dur
ing Taylor's and Fillmore's, Administra-,
tions lie held a clerkship in the Treasury
Department.
He figured here in the days of Know
Notbingism as an orator, and took part in
the movement. He was a man of consider
able ability, and with his pen m a d e qu it e a
reputation, his poem, .a "Song of Steam,"
having wide popularity. At one time he
was a strict temperance man, and spoke
for the societies here. In his youth he cwas
wedded to a tragic actress of some note,
from whom he was afterwards divorced,
and he married again in the West. He left
here about the close of Mr. Fillmore's Ad
ministration, and returned again a few years
since, but we believe lie has not been in any
employment here.
