An altered note of the denomination of one dollar made its appearance this morning. The note is handsomely executed but there is scarcely an attempt at an imitation of the genuine notes. In the genuine note the words "Bank of Ocean County" form a 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- fHE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : YHiLADELFHIA, THt BSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1865 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 loans bought and canceled during 1865, from the saie of the stock of the Pennsylva nia Railroad, held by the city : Loans. Amt. bought. Five per cent. loan, . . . $32,236 79 Six per cent., '225 888 70 Penna. R.R. loan, . . • . 135,733 90 North Pennai-R.R. loan, . . 77,900 00 Ilempfield R. R., . . . 29,300 00 Total, • . . . $502,059 39 In addition to the above the City Trea surer has redeemed, during 1865, city loans, maturing, to the amount of $394,223 34, making a total of $896,282 73, which is to be deducted from the funded debt of the city. The funded debt of the city on Jan. 1, 1865, was . . $28,910,454 52 Loans issued during 1865, . 5,708,100 00 Amount canceled in 1865, Actual funded debt, Tanualy. 1, 1866, ^ 9 . , 301 70 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: Brower, Cornelius P., January 30, 1865. ' Borhek, C. G., June 15, 1865. Dillon, Mrs. Charles, December 12, 1865. Henri, C. S. (Montague), September 30, 1865. Pardey, H. 0., March 3, 1865. Paul, Wm. H., March 7, 1865. Van Amburgh, Isaac, Nov. 29, 1865. Warner, Charles, August 30, 1865. 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 tion. Dr. Adams is laboring very accep tably in:f . his sphere, and the thriving congregation of which he is the pastor is among the most prosperous in the northern part of the city. PREMATURE EXPLOSION OP POWDER.— Three men who were engaged in blasting rocks, yesterday . , at Fairmount, were con siderably burned about the face and hands by the premature explosion of the powder. Two of them, named Charles Morrison and John McErwm, were taken to the Pennsyl vania Hospital. The third man, who was not so badly-injured, proceeded to his home. Frrev.—This morning, about one o'clock, the stable of Charles Moore,ou Wheat street below Reed, in the First Ward, was de stroyed by fire. A horse and mule were bEidly burned. The total loss is estimated at $6OO.

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.

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. A.RIIISE2LENTS.
