Some 'very tonchtng cases of want and de
licacy.' came before me to-day, and should
_
•
like tiplay one or 'two of them before your
• •
milder& .
Firet let me say—We were at the funeral
•
of the soldier's little daughter .referred to in
my, last communication, spoke a word of
comfort to the weeping sick mother; told of
- .Him who had ,compassion on. the Widow
of Vain • and wept tears at the grave of
So feeble was she and so intensely cold
"wasthe day, that she &aid not go to the,
gravep so 'strangers bore. away ,the
little
child, sweet in, death, and laid it in its little
cold grave, where the moaning winds sighed
-through the weeping willows, its little' sad
funeral dirge.. There it shrill lie ; till , the
greafddy When the siniab and., great shall
stand before GOD. - The mother has been
_tenderly, cared, for by the special contribu
tions sent us, and so has been• her infant
child. ''
While aiding.% respectable soldier's widow
,to-day, in my- study, with food and cloth
ing; etc., she burst into Ware and sobbed
~ out, "Oh, it's so bard to have, to take these
tliings, to think that I must beg!" "Beg,"
my dear madam,'', I repeated in soothing
astonishment, • "don't say so. There is
„not a' true American in this cityto-day, who
'Aries not feeLthat he or she owes you a debt
he can never pay.
"The little amistance that I can render the
sbldier's widow and orphan is a poor coni
pensation for the service rendered by your
'husband for me—for my countryfor l our
'country. Philadelphia is• glad to-day' to
- :give to soldiers' widows and orphans the
just wages of hint who died foi.us.
• "You are 'no 'beggar.'. Let not the
thought tear your hearyso." :Ah! my fellow
, citizens you should see such cases for your
- selves. -
• Tolwrite them is to do them' injustice.
They cannot be written.
These words bad a most happy influence
on' her mind. Still, she could not help
weeping, and as she passed out, with, her
bundle of clothing and'order for groceries, •
her full •heart would run over, and in the
entry I could hear her stilled sobbing. Ati !
busy memory—maiden's smiles, bridal joys
and widowed loneliness are in these sighs
and tears, as well as hungry, naked chil
dren, and a cold, cheerless garret. Here
comes a. recommendation from Professor
Saunders, in the hands of a widow.
Prof. Saunders is a well-known veteran
in the soldier's cause. After referring to her
case, he says: "She is as good as she looks."
Yes, that's a sweet, sad face, Professor.
That poor young heart has been bereaved,
crushed. While I write, my heart utters
'mid my falling tears, "God help her, God
'bless her, God comfort her."
He closes his recommendation by saying,
"I know you would rather help her than sit
down to a feast."
This is agreat truth. There is joy in such
a work I am sure our citizens must feel, in
giving the precious truthfulness of the Pro
fessor's remark. Several similar cases have
been here, and many trying dissimilar ones,
which 1 have not time to write. The appli
cants are increasing daily, and our citizens
seem to manifest the right spirit, and are
resolved that the widow and orphan of Him
who died for us, shall not be cold, naked or
hungry.
Those who recommend for aid, will please
make themselves acquainted with the case,
and be able to say that it is a worthy and
needy case. Again, let me give you notice,
that no applicant need come for aid without
a recommendation from some Minister of
the Gospel,or from some respectable citizens,
endorsed, if possible, by some Minister of
the Gospel.
These terms complied with, the applicant
will receive immediate aid.

Pastor, 1341 Lombard street. Philadelphia.

P. S.—A gentleman has just brought me
$3l from the Sixth Precinct of the Twenty
fifth Ward, and tells me it was all sub
scribed in almost a moment by a single pro
position or some few men who suggested
the matter. He says moreover, that they
will be• good for $lOO more some of
these days, and asks, "could not the men
of influence and leisure in all our wards
and precincts go and do likewise ? " This
suggestive question is a good one. We
hope it will be acted on. A very young
lady brings me $47 50, the proceeds of a fair
held at her house, for the widows and
orphans of soldiers. Will not many of our
young ladies and misses do likewise ? Try—
try! All we ask is effort. C. P.
AMUSEMENTS.
THE CrasT.Ntrr.—"The Sleeping Beauty" and "The
Phantom" this evening and every night till further
notice. At to-morrow's matin6e 'The Sleeping
Beauty" will also be given. "The Red Rover," a dash
ing nautical drama, is in active preparation.
BENEFIT OF MRS. JOILN DREW.—The new comedy
of "The Needful" will be presented at the Arch for
Mrs. Drew's benefit this evening. The cast comprises
the names of Mrs. John Drew, Miss E. Price, Mrs.
Thayer, Mrs. C. Henri. McKee Rankin, Mr. F. Mackay,
Stuart Robson, Owen Marlowe and Mr. L. James. The
farce of "Tne Two Gregories" will also be given, with
Itobam and Mrs. Henri in the prlniiipal parts.
Mss. Jon"; WOOD'S BENlFrr.—At the Walnnt this
evening, for Mrs. John Wood's benefit. "London
Assurance" will be given, with Mrs. Wood as the
her oine and Barton Hill as Charles Courtly. In addi
tion "Jenny Lind" will be played, with Mrs. Wood in
her delightful character of Jenny Leatherlangs. With
such a 13111 there Will be a grand house.
THIS LAST TWO EVENINGS OF HELLS:EL.—The
SoirEes Diabolique of this singularly and variously
gifted individual are now drawing very rapidly to a
close. This evening and Saturday evening, with his
Saturday matinee, are the only three performances
which he is now announced to give. Yet, strange as It
may seem. it is only now that the public are becoming
really awake and alive to his wonderful variety, both
in magic and music. His expose of the tricks of the
Davenport brothers is as wonderfhl as their perform
ance itself was. save with this advantage, that he per
forms it as a delusion, while they professed it to result
from the operations of the spiritual world; and his
exquisitely absurd but wondrously artistic "Inebriate
Recollections of Faust" is worthy of a parallel place in
our comic musical recollection with "The Piano-Forte
Practice of a Boarding School Miss," which we so un
qualifiedly eulogized when, two weeks since, we heard
it for the first time. The Goblin Drum" is another
excellent point In his performance, while the curious
Automata or Fantoccini, "the Wood Minstrels," are
capitally and ' absurdly comic. We would specially
call the attention of our lady readers, who chance to
live at some distance from the heart of the city, to his
second and only matinee to-morrow.
Brzsz remains at AsSemoly Building, delighting the
hearts of all who eater his magic hall.
AN INTEBIG3TING OCCASION.—The rooms of the
"Actors' Art Union," 727 Sansom street. were the
scene of a very interesting occurrence yesterday after
noon. Mr. Frank! Mordaunt, the popular leading
man of the Chestnut Street Theatre, was the re
cipient of a very handsome present from the "Union"
in the shape of a magnificent copy of Shakspeare. It
is by the Rev. H. N. Hudson, in eleven volumes, and
mosthandsomely bound. At a previous meeting of
the "Union" it was decided that the member whe dis
posed of the greatest number of tickets should be en
titled to this handsome present, and Mr. , Mordaunt
proved the fortunate person. Mr. F. F. Mackay, Pre
sident of the "Union," made the presentation speech.
Mr. Mordaunt replied very briefly, thanking the
Union fat the honor they had conferred upon him, by
making him the recipient of the first present they had
bestowed. Some few remarks were made by. Mr. Mer
daunt in acceptance of the present, and then he pro•
sented the volumes to the "Actors' Art Union." This
somewhat surprised the members and was greeted
with loud applause. A motion was made and carried
that a vote of thanks be neatly engraved, placed in a
frame and sent to Mr. Mordaunt, also io Mr. Peter
Abel, of Peterson & Bros , who hasproveda true friend
to the "Union." The copy of Shakspeare
coati°, but Mr. Abel gave it for $2O, presenting the
remaining #2O to the "Union."

' A FABOE.—Says the Washington Repub
lican,: the selling of negroes as slaves by
sentence of Court for crime is now a perfect
farce, and the law ihmosing that penalty
upon them should be repealed. The four
sold pursuant to the Sentence of the last
Mayor's Court, in this city, brought from
12 to 25 cents each, and the purchasers im
mediately let them go. The Legislature
will meet on Tuesday, the 9th inst. Will
they not repeal this enactment?
VITItBI:IPMM!N•
M. W. • BALDWITC dr, • Co.'s LOCOMOTIVE
Womes.--jimong the largest,,perhaps the
very largeit; industrial' establishmants in
this State,. and, it , ' may bo, the whole
country, is the Locomotive WoraS , of M.
W. Baldwin 66 Co. This great mechanical
depot 'extends from near Spring Garden
street to Willow street, with a front on
13road street of about - five hundred and
Eighty-six feet., covering nearly all of the
three squares between the two first named
streets, and having an entire front cin Fif
teenth street. Two wide streets ran through
the premises (Buttonwood and Hatrillton),
thus affording convenient access to the; dg
ierent departments, and superior faCilities
for receiving materials and sending' away
the products of the establishment. Con
nected with the works is a board and lum
ber yard, occupying about - an acre of
ground, on the opposite side of Broad street.
The extent of business carried' on must be
seen to be appreciated; for. we should
fail in any . attempt to convey a proper
idea of its immensity. Every obserNer,
however, will wonder how it is pos
sible ~that so , much of machinery,
so many departments, and so many opera
tives, can be kept 'working in harmony.
But so it is. The system which governs the
whole is so perfect that every piece of ma
chinery performs its proper functions, and
every man is in hisproperplace to discharge
the duties required of him. To Mr. Barry,
the able and ~efficient superintendent of
these works, this, admirable discipline ia in
a great measure due. It requires no ordi
nary talent to "keep the run" of the many
departments in such an establishment, and
it must have taken years of schooling to en
able him to master the intricacies of his
The erecting shot) is situated on the corner
of Broad and Willow streets-140 feet on the
latter and 206 feet on the former, The
building is a new one,but recently added to
the works, and is three stories high, con
taining all the necessary fixtures and ap
purtenances.
The machine shop, fronting on Broad
street 200 feet, extends from Hamilton to
Buttonwood street, and goes to the rear
nearly the same distance—making it about
square. Part of this extensive building is
three stories high—the whole fitted up with
ponderous machinery adapted to the busi
ness, including every species of tool and
labor saving implements.
The smith shop is between Hamilton and
Buttonwood streets, fronting on Fifteenth
street about 200 feet. This part of the
- works is equally perfect, and possessesequal
facilities for performing its share of work
which contributes to the completion of the
locomotives turned out from these works.
The forge and foundry front on Fifteenth
street 109 feet, and on Hamilton street 190
feet. In this department the observer will
be impressed with the balk and enormous
weight of the crude parts of an engine, be
ibre they are turned, dressed, or polished,
, •revious to being fitted to the various parts
io which they belong.
The stables and store-house fore the re
ception of tyre, iron, (ix., are on Broad
street, extending north from Buttonwood
130 feet, with nearly the same depth.
The front offices on Broad street comprise
seven different apartments, includingoftices,
private rooms, store-room, drawing-room,
Sc., all properly heated and ventilated, and
appropriately furnished with every conve
nience.
There are five different engines located in
the various departments or this establish
ment, all of the largest size, and making an
aggregate horse power of 200. About 4,000
tons of coal per annum is used, and over
1,000 hands employed, all making full time
of ten hours each.
These works have constructed about 2.50
first-class engines during the last two years,
and possess the capacity for building 16
engines per month, of the largest size, say
from 2& to 35 tons each.
We need scarcely speak of the merits of
the engines manufactured by M. W. Bald
win & Co. They have a world-wide repu
tation, and the evidence of their superiority
is attested in the four quarters of the globe.
In Europe, especially, the engines made in
this establishment can be found on'every
prominent road; and no man, or no firm in
the country has done more 'than M. W.
Baldwin & Co. to elevate the American
character abroad for the skilful execution
and durability of oar machinery. While in
our own country, East, West, North and
South, Baldwin's engines are conceded to
be among the best.
Mr. Baldwin is a practical mechanic of
many years' experience. With habits of
industry he blends a spirit of enterprisethat
overleaps ordinary obstacles; and, possess
ing a quickness of perception, he promptly
comprehends the most intricate machinery.
This faculty has no doubt greatly contribu
ted to his success. He commenced business
in a small way about 1830, in Minor street,
where he remained until 1834 or 5, when he
removed to his present location, and has
gradually added to his establishment until
it has reached its present dimensions,
NORTiziERN PROGRESS OF OUR Ci r r.--It
would well repay the pedestrian to travel
over the more northern portion of Philadel
phia, and observe the extensive improve
ments now in progress. Such is the spirit
of enterprise manifested that the work of
building has been prosecuted without, cessa
tion, during the entire cold weather. Inthe
vicinity of Columbia avenue, below and
above, and extending west beyond Broad
street, rows of dwellings are going up, in
cluding some of the most splendid mansions
in the city. One would suppose that, in
what has heretofore been considered the
suburbs, the improvements would be of an
ordinary character, adapted solely to the
limited means of an industrial population.
But not so. The dwellings in many locali
ties are first-class houses, three-stories back
and front,with all the modern conveniences.
Among them will be found every variety of
architecture, and many improvements on
the plans familiar to the "oldest inhabi
tants." We notice that the French roofs
are becoming quite fashionable, especially
with those who erect three-story houses.
This takes the place of the old garret, but
in fact, adds another story. Brown stone,
marble fronts, with brick dressing, granite,
&c., and handsome brick work, as the taste
of owners may dictate, are to be seen on all
the prominent streets.
Among the enterprising gentlemen who
are thus beautifying and adding to the 'wealth
of our city, is Mr, J. Rhodes, Mr. Joseph
Thornton, Mr. John Davy, Mr. 'Joseph
Singerly, Mr. Isaac Seneff, Mr. Isaac E.
Bliem, Mr. Christopher Binder, Mr.; James
E. McElroy, and others. These gentlemen
are building'extensively, while there are
numberless citizens erecting single' dwell
ings in various places. Entire blocks of
houses now occupy ground which,but a few
years ago, was - devoted to truck. patches.
Hills are leveled, hollows filled up,streams
culverted, and every obstacle to the march
of improvement disappears as if by magic.
In a day or two we shall designate some of
the morQprogressive localities, and note the
various kinds of property which enrich the
neighborhood.

Newton creek is in such a condition that
the Board of Chosen ,Freeholders have pe
titioned the City Councils to repair it within
the city limits. The same is the case with
the road leading from Camden to the inter
section of the turnpike over Cooper's creek.
They both need repairing.
RUDDER BRORE.—The rudder on the
Stephen Girard, one of the Kaighn's Point
Ferry boats, was broken by the heavy ice
yesterday.
Singular Disaster in CoTington, Ifiy
A very singular disaster, involving a
heavy loss, occurred in Covington on Mon
day. The fruit house of Caldwell Brothers
Smalley, on the east side of. Scott street,
between Fourth and Fifth, was partially
demolished by a gas explosion.
It seems that a pipe burst in the air
tight hall of the building, filling it with gas.
About seven o'clock a workman with a light
in his hand, threw open the door of the hall,
when the gas was instantly ignited, causing
a terrific explosion, shattering the walls of
the building so that they will have to he
pulled down. The doors of the apple bias,
which are made of oak, eight inches in thick
ness, and lined on both sides with heavy
sheet iron, were wrenched from their hinges,
and torn into many pieces. The iron ilJor
was also torn up, and the bins completely
wrecked. The man who opened the door,
had nearly all the hair burned off his head,
and was very much stunned. The report of
the explosion was heard all over the city, and
many buildings in the vicinity ware shaken.
The fruit house belonged to Robert and
Richard Cald well, and A. D. Smalley, of
Newport, and was erected at a cost of $5O,-
000. The damage to the building will
amount to about $20,000, and as the apples
(of which there are ten or twelve thousand
barrels in the house), will have to be re
moved, thereby exposing them to the wea
ther, it is estimated that $20,000 worth of
them will be lost. The firm had no insur
ance against such a catastrophe.
HEAVY IROBBERY.—On Saturday night
last, the residence of Wm. Earhardt, a
wealthy farmer residing near Blairsville,
was entered by burglars. They carried a
heavy iron safe out of the parlor to a field
adjolni 'ng the house, and with gunpowder
blew the door off of it. Thoy stole from the
safe $7,000 in five-twenty bonds and eleven
thousand in greenbacks. No clue has been
obtained to the guilty perpetrators of the
bold robbery. Mr. Earhardt visited this
city last week, and drew the government
notes, which were stolen from him, from one
of the city banks. He thinks that the thieves
followed him from the city to his home for
the purpose of robbing. He offers a reward
of $l,OOO for the detection of the burglars.
