CITY 131nMM:Nr• TEE RIPTIMUNG AMONG TSB Poon.—The intensely cold weathur of the past three or four days has caused an amount of suffer ing among the poor, never, equaled, per haps and which completely neggars soriplion. Yesterday morning," The 'Little Wanderer's Home," an institution recently established for the purpose of feeding, cloth ing and educating the helploss outcast children in the vicinity of Eighth and South streets, was . the scene of suffering which words cannot describe. Poor emaciated mothers, with less than half-clad and starv ing children, thronged its doors, begging for food and shelter. Se far as the ca pacities of the institution admitted, these poor creatures were relieved. They were taken in, warmed and fed. Bat this extraordinary and unexpected demand upon its resources, completely exhausted them and before night) the food which which the sufferers required was not to be had. Towards evening the Superin tendent of the Institution, Rev. Mr. Sieg fried made an appeal to the merchants re siding in the vicinity of Sixth and Market and in Commerce street, which was gener ously responded to, and funds sudicient were secured to provide for the wants of those who will possibly apply for help to day. But tomorrow ! Where are the means to supply these wants to-morrow to come from? Unless the wealthy and benevolent citizens of Philadelphia extend their immediate aid, who shall say how many will either perish or sustain such physical injuries from the intense cold as will render them in the future a burden to themselves and society ? Last evening, in company with Mr. Sieg fried and Miss Mellon, the lady physician of the Home, .the writer of this article visited some of the scenes of sorrow and destitution in Bedford street. Our first visit was to a woman, whose husband died on Christmas day, leaving her with three children, two of them twin babes, both bf which were rescued from actual starvation a few days after the father's death, by the attentions of Miss Mellon. We next visited a dilapidated hovel, in which we found an old woman 2 The only floor to this wretched tenement was the bare ground. There was neither bed nor table in the room, and the handful of coal and wet sticks which smoul dered in the little stove only served to ren der the desolation more complete. Upon in quiry we found that this poor creature slept on a chair without a back, and depended for her supply of fuel upon the rakings of coal ashes. Where she obtained her food He who feeds the ravens alone can tell. Our next visit was to a widow woman of fine ap- pearance, whose intelligent conversation denoted better days. She had four chil dren. These little one she had labored to sup port by her needle,until yesterday morning, -when the terrible cold drove her to the Lit tle Wanderers' Home, which she reached with her children in a completely frozen condition.Rßy chafing the children's ex tremities. the circulation was restored, and the poopsufferers were relieved for the day. Upon Inauiring, we found that this poor widow was far gone in consumption. She earned a trifling pittance with her needle, under circumstances which almost stagger belief. The bone of her left arm was removed some time since by a surgical operation, and how, with that boneless arm, she manages to sew at all is a mystery which we could not solve. Will not the benevolent see to this poor woman's case? Our last visit was to a wretched cellar, in which we found three women and three children crouching around a little stove, in which a handful of coals burned, and on which they were endeavor ing to warm a few frozen crusts of bread. The mother, sister and children were not half clad, while the old woman, the mother of two sons who had joined the army seve ral years since, sat in that dismal cellar without shoe or stocking. Asking where they slept, we were pointed to a pile of rags in one corner, and to some ragged carpeting as the covering. Sick at heart, we left these scenes of sorrow, hoping that God would put it into the hearts of those whom he has blessed with abundance, to give of that abundance to these poor creatures. While improvi dente and idleness may possibly account for much of this wretchedness, do they jus tify us in permitting such terrible suffering to exist, while we have the means of reliev ing it? Let those who have the means for get all, save the fact that human beings are perishing with cold and hunger in our very midst, and with that promptitude and bene volence which so largely characterizes our city, go to their relief, and, what is all-im portant, go at once. The Little Wanderer's Home, is located at No. 820 South street, where all who are interested in relieving human suffering are earnestly invited to calL A FREE SEATING PARE..—The various skating parks about the city are now doing a thriving business. Notwithstanding the intensely cold atmosphere yesterday, ladies, gentlemen and children, with skates under their arms, could be seen wending their way towards some one of the parks, while the scene upon the ice was exceedingly animated. These parks have become in stitutions of the city, and the man who first conceived the idea certainly deserves the thanks of the community. The number of parks have greatly multiplied, and there are now about a dozen in operation. Some of them occupy acres of ground, and are provided with commodious reception rooms, comfortable dressing apartments, and well kept restaurants. Another park was opened yesterday. It exceeds in extent any of the others heretofore in existence—in fact, it may be stated, covers more space than all the others combined—and those who are fond of the exhilarating sport—can enjoy themselves to their heart's content. It also possesses some advantages over the other parks. The visitors are allowed a free scope—are allowed to do pretty much as they please, so they do not violate com mon decency or create a breach of the peace. There are no restrictions whatever, but there is always a police force present to preserve order. The park alluded to is easy of access from any part of the city by either the Union, or the Green and Coates street Passenger Railway lines, and its patronage will no doubt be larger than any of the other i parks, inasmuch as no price of admis sion s charged. It is open to all free of ex pense beyond the railroad fare. The ice was fully tested by thousands of people, male and female, young and old, yesterday, and it was all that could be desired. The scene yesterday afternoon was very pretty, and it will doubtless be repeated every af ternoon while the present cold weather continues. P. S. Since the abovewas in type we have discovered one important fact—there is no mention of the locality of the park alluded to. We .therefore state that the Schuylkill river is frozen solid, that skating above the dam is excellent and that all who wish to go there may enjoy themselves. Tax WEER OF PRAYER.— The week of prayer was commenced yesterday afternoon by a meeting at the West Spruce Street Presbyterian Church, Seventeenth and Spruce streets. Notwithstanding the intense coldness of the day, a very large congrega.. lion assembled to join in the services. The pastor of the church, Rev. W. P. Breed, D. D., offered the first invocation , after which the beautiful hyinn, "Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove was sung. This was fol lowed by reading the 68th Psalm, and the 9th chapter of the Book of Daniel, and 'a brief address by Dr. Breed. Addresses were also delivered by Rev. Wm. Speer, - Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of. . Education, Rev. Dr. Newton, of Epiphany Episcopal Church, and Rev. J. Wheaton Smith, of the Spruce Street Baptist Church. Prayers were offered by Rev. Drs. Jankin and Malin, Rev. Mr. Crowell and others. Several hymns were sung by the congrega tion during the afternoon. After singing the doxology, the meeting was dismissed with the benediction. LA COTERIE CIARNIVAL.—The directors of this gr,and affair which has long occupied the attention of our dancing friends, have called a meeting of their subscribers, who will assemble on Thursday evening, the 11th inst.,at seven o'clock, in Parlor 0, at the Continental Hotel, for the purpose of select ing the managers and the various commit: tees for the occasion, also to dispose of to the highest bidders the private boxes at the Academy for the evening of the ball, for which there have already been a large num ber of applicants. Messrs. Abel & Risley are energetic in their endeavors to insure the success of this, which bids fair to excel any Fancy Dress or Masquerade Ball ever given in this city. Subscriptions are re ceived only at the book stand at the Hotel, and of Mr. Abel,at Peterersons' .306, Chestnut street. BUSINESS EDUCATION.—Young men who desire to get a thorough education for bu siness should attend Bryant, Stratton and Kimberly's Business College, Assembly Buildings, southwest corner of Chestnut and Tenth streets. The unprecedented suc cess which this institution has enjoyed since its foundation, and the high standing which its graduates have taken in the business community, recommend it as ,the most thorough and practical college in the country. No parent could make a better investment for his child than by purchas ing for him a scholarship at the above in satiation. This scholarship entitles ;the holder to a life membership in this and fifty different colleges located in the United States and Canadas. We would advise all who propose getting a business education to call and examine the course.

New Jersey Matters. JERSEY PORK.—Pork raising in New deraey has received much attention from our farmers the past year, and quite a spirit of emulation has been awakened in regard to size as well as quality. In Cumberland county, especially, hogs of immense weight have been slaughted. Capt. Charles Sharp, of Manricetown, has recently dressed three hogs. the united , weight of which amounted to fifteen hundred pounds. Mr. Stephen Bateman, of the same town, slaughtered two, the combined weight of which was 1,028 pounds, one weighing 567,and the other 461 pounds. SLIGHT FlRE.—About three o'clock this morning fire was discovered in the back part of a dwelling house on Taylor's avenue, above Fourth street, Camden, and a general alarm was sounded. Before the fire de partment, however, got in working order, the family and neighbors, who were promptly on the spot, succeeded in putting it out. The fire caught from the stove in the second story back room. The property belongs to John Read. BI RGLARY.—Some time during Sunday night the residence of William Dodemead, at Fifth and Cherry streets in South Cam den, was broken into by an expert burglar, who bored out a panel, and then entered the kitchen, where he suceeeded in carrying away four overcoats, one pair of pantaloons, two vests, one shawl, half a dozen silver plated spoons, and a large quantity of groceries. He then made his escape and no traces of him have since been dis covered. WANTS A CHABTEII.—The people of Mill vile are anxious to have their town incor porated. Its rapid growth seems to require such police regulations as could only be secured through a charter. Like most large manufacturing towns, some restraint is needed to inflict prompt punishment upon violations of peace and good order. The complaint is, that rowdies take advantage of the present inadequate authorities to dis turb and annoy the citizens. Icx.—The present "cold snap" has created quite a harvest for the ice dealers. We no ticed ice this morning about six inches thick. Men and teams are busy storing it away, and the prospect is that this great luxury will be accessible to all the coming summer. [From the Washington star.] Remarkable Advent tires of a j Corpse. Not long since a native of the Emerald Isle, one of the victims of the late arsenal explo sion, died in this city, and immediately pre parations were made to give him a nice, genteel funeral. It was at first arranged that he should be buried here, but some of his kindred being buried at Parkersburg, West Virginia, it was finally determined that what remained of poor Johnny M— should be sent to that place. Accordingly, after a "wake" (one of the good old sort),tbe remains were accompanied by his sorrowing friends and relatives to the depot, to take the cars for the place of burial. The funeral pro cession arrived at the depot some time be fore the departure of the train in which the remains were to go, and the mourn ers spent the intervening time in as suaging their sorrows at the neigh boring bars, so abundant in that vici nity, the corpse meanwhile remaining on the platform, ready to be placed on the nine F., M. train, which would connect at the Relay House with the Western train. The party meanwhile drank so many libations to the memory of the departed that they re turned to the station in a very mellow con dition, and the railroad officers being ap prehensive that they would be incapable of taking care of the corpse, telegraphed to the agent at the Relay to see that the corpse was taken off at that point. Shortly before the time of starting the corpse was placed op the train, and an attempt was made to muster the mourners, when it was ascer tained that one or two of them had got so obfusticated as to have taken the New York train. The rest of the party, however, managed to get aboard, and ere long Johnny Id—'s body was again " marching on." At the Relay the corpse was transferred to the Western train, but two or three of the mourners were too far gone to get out in time, and so proceeded to Baltimore, while the balance of the party with the corpse was hurried on with extra speed westward. At the points along the road where the engine stopped "to water," the mourners as invariably stopped to "wet," and not being up to time, quite as invariably a brace or more were left behind at each watering and wetting place, and by the time Grafton was 'keached, where the corpse was to change cars for Parkersburg, but few of the mourners remained with it, and these were so bewildercd that they failed to get in the proper train, 'and Johnny's corpse went on to Wheeling without them. From thence by some means it was sent to Columbus, Ohio, the corpse thus having got into the wrong State, and the mourners being scattered through Maryland and West Vir ginia, and along the line of the Baltimore Wilmington and • Philadelphia and Cam den and Amboy Railroads. By this time the telegraph was put into excited operation, and various messages were whisked over the wires in various directions in regard to the missing corpse and scattered mourners, making confusion doubly confounded for a while. From Grafton an arorions mourner inquired "Where in the d—l is the corpse?" This despatch was crossed on the road by a loud inquiry from Columbus as to the ownership of a stray corpse arrived there unconsigned. A Baltimore - scattered mourner telegraphed to "postpone that funeral until I get there;" and the squad of mourners by the New York train were sending wildly confused mes sages to Parkersburg, Grafton, Relay House and Washington, all helping to in : tensify the prevailing muddle. The corpse meantime had resumed its travels, and like poor Joe, not being wanted in any locality, had been kept moving on until it arrived at the Little Miami Depot, where it created no little excitement, being without any, mark for identification, and foul play being at once suspected 6 A coroner's inquest was held without throwing any light upon the mystery, which was, however, cleared up by a .telegraphic despatoh. for the missing corpse. The railway officials then got the corpse in motion eastward and the mourn ers headed westward and finally after the most eventful history of any corpse or set of mourners on record, Johnny's body was duly committed by them to mother earth, where we trust it may rest in peace. The following letter gives the finale of this curious affair : PAIMERSBEIRG, West Virginia, Dec. 29, 1865.—H. P. Heckert, Esq., Agent, Cincin nati: DEAR Sin: The corpse came safely to hand last night, by express, and is now in the care of his relatives who had been look ing and waiting anxiously for it since last Thursday, at which time it should have reached here, its proper destination. I must return you the thanks of friends of deceased, and of myself, for your attention in sending it on, and am sorry that it gave you so much trouble. I was informed of its leaving the Relay House by the man in charge of it, Barney M—, the uncle of the deceased,who stated it was in a plain pine box, withvope around it. I immediately telegraphed along the road for it . , and was unable •to get any tidings of it. Wheeling reporting to me that it was not there, I sent a special mes senger after it, who,' unfortunately, went east from Grafton, supposing it might have been returned to Washington. Alithe time it was lying at Benwood , and no notice sent in regard to it. I was informed by our agent at the Relay House that the man in charge of it was very much intoxicated when he came from Wash ingtegn, and gave very little attention to the rem ins, which I suppose, is a solution of the whole difficulty. They have received the corpse and paid the charges of the Ex press Company. I regret the publicity which this circumstance has caused, and think it might be proper to give a published statement of facts concerning the matter, to correct any false statement which might be circulated about it. Very respectfully, dtc.; J. W. Cuwris. Important Financial Bill. The bill reported by Mr. Morrill, yester day, from the Committee on Ways <and .Means, provides: First.

Mr. Hyde Clarke writes to the Athen{eum from Smyrna, on the 4th instant "Yester day, being at Azizieh, I had some finds worth noticing in the London Athentrunt. Fired. I examined the conical hill Azizieh, bsyond the Ephesus Pass. This, as I sus pected, I found to be a tomb; and it proves to be one of the remarkable monuments of Asia Minor. It is a conical hill, and about six or seven hundred feet high, but joining on to a low ridge behind. It is so unlike the neighboring formations of lime stone that I suspect it has been trimmed partially. This mound, about one hundred and fifty feet below the summit, is crowned with a ring wall of loose rubble piled about ten feet wide on the surface, and which is mostly in good preservation. On the top is the tumulus in a very dilapidated state, having been rifled, and in a worse state than the tomb of Tantalus on Sipylus. There are appearances of the inner vault, and, like that of Tantalus, there are many bits of tiles of the same kind, and so like wise in the wall and scattered over the mound. To desighaate this I propose to call it the tomb of Lydus. At the foot to the east, close against the tomb, I found the site of a small town,about one thousand feet square, evidently on the old road to the interior. I went with Mr. E. A. Drew to see the pass he has brought to light, and which is the real Ephesus Pass, about one mile or one mile and a half to the right of the present Ephesus Pass, through whioh the railway passes to Azizieh. The original and deserted pass is a very interesting site. Here I identified the site of a large town or city, which must have had upwards up twenty thousand inhabitants. For a mile and and a half or two miles, the surface is thickly , filled with tiles and stones, inter spersed with foundations and heaps of stones. The only sculptured remains are at the lower part, near Azizieh, where there is a small but solid building with a niche and two windows. In the tombs are two double pilasters of very poor style. This place I have named Eski Azizieh. I cannot conjecture its ancient designation. It was evidently the summer town or village of Ephesus; and I consider Latorea was at Boorgas, close by. There are considerable remains of the causeway, but the place must have been deserted for many cen turies. The pass leading to Azizieh is well supplied with water; but then below Eski Azizieh is a good stream most of the way from Magenesia ad Mreandrum. I consider Eski Azizieh a promising site for excava tions. All the places I have referred to are within a short walk of Azizieh, and Eski Azizieh is abaft five miles from Ephesus station. AN incident occurred at St. Louis on Sat urday last illustrating the fact that mules are not only the most,sagacious of all four legged animals, but they sometimes do things on purely scientific principles. A drove of about two hundred of these large minded beasts were brought to the Illinois, shore, opposite the -city, and it was con cluded that the best way to get them across was to start them on the ice and let them walk over. As soon as they reached the ice instinct taught them that they had em barked on a dangerous journey, and in sfantly the oldest mule in the drove—one, too, that had never been at a circus and had no education—took the lead, and one at a time the whole two hundred "fell in" and followed their leader in single file, with safe spacesbetween, and thus, stretching them selves into a long line, they crossed the river. The circumstance was witnessed by a number of gentlemen who were impressed with the wonderful illustration pf mule sagacity. rs`, FLOUR. FLOUR ! FLOUR!! "Pride of thti West." GillwiseLman."
