CITT - RIT I 9IiLETII!., HOW. TO CONDIENCE THE NEW YEAR. All the world (and his wife) are said to bp in the pursuit of happiness. Men wish ,to be happy, and women too, and most of them might: be:happier than they are by practis ing a little more simple philosophy. On the first of every January, the time-honored congratulation between friends, and even mere acquaintances, is '" Happy New Year to you! It is in order to make this greet ing more practical that we are about to in dite this article for the benefit of old and young people of all sorts in general, and newly married couples in particular. First. It is. impossible for people to be happy unless they are comfortable; and (just now especially) they cannot be com fortable without proper facilities for keep ing warm. Every right-minded man, who has a family, is interested in making his home, so far as practicable, the most com fortable place in the world, and the first es sential to comfort and health in every dwel ling is an agreeable temperature. Young people setting out in married life cannot be too particular in attending to these primary physical comforts. This suggestion, we may remark incidentally, has a wide appli cation, judging from the currentlist of mar riage notices as , published in our daily papers. The hymeneal altar has seldom been hon ored with amore devoted throng than now; and what we wish to impress earnestly upon the minds and hearts of these candidates for domestic bliss (or at least those of them who expect to begin housekeeping) is the im portance of supplying their homes first with one of Mr. - J - ames Spear's anti-dust cook stoves, or one of , his celebrated ranges, in order that the cooking may be well done,for where this goes wrong people might as well keep up "wash-day" all through the week. Nor can the parlor be warmed most per fectly without the aid of one of Mr. spear's beaters, or one of his celebrated anti-dust paxlor stoves. The "Anti-dust Cook" referred to sieves its own ashes, makes no dust in the kitchen, economizes B iel; is the best baker in the world, and has more conveniences than any other stove in use, and 14 well worth a visit of inspection at the ware rooms of Mr. Spear, Nos: 1116 and 1118 Market street. We make the above suggestion to young housekeepers, and appeal to older folks whether it is not a good one. The merits of Mr. Spear's stoves are so well known that Lis capabilities for making them is the only limit to their sale. Know ing this, many of our citizens who purpose commencing housekeeping in the spring are already giving Mr. Spear their orders, which is really necessary in order to avoid delay in being supplied. The re-opening of our trade with all parts of the Union made such a draft upon these popular stoves and ranges that Mr. Spear, some weeks ago requested, as a favor, that we should cease alluding to them in these colorant, until he was better prepared to meet the 'demand; and our reason for taking this liberty now is to inform the people of the advantage of giving their orders to Mr. Spear as early as possible, in order to save disappointment. We may also state that the present is good time to purchase, as the indicatiens all point to a farther advance in prices. We cannot withhold our opinion that the stove dealers of this city are a most self-sacrificing set of men, in which they stand in enviable contrast with many others, of whom the market people afford a flagrant example. Mr. Spear, for instance is now paying forty- i five cents per pound ' for his Russia iron, being a higher figure than the article com manded when gold was 280. Compared with this advance in material, his advance in the selling price of his stoves over the ante-war rates is trifling. And he seems determined, with characteristic energy and business tact, to maintain these reasonable prices. He has already, in view of a farther rise in the cost of iron, on account of the very limited importation, purchased the entire stock of several of the largest importers of this city and Boston, and will undoubtedly, as usual, "keep the inside track" against all competitors during , the coming season in his prices, besides giving the public the most perfect articles of the kind that are manufactured in the United States. To you, therefore, who have not yet done so, we repeat, in conclusion, commence the New Year by adding the invaluable appen dages above named to your p resent or pros pective homes. It will add immeasurably to the happiness of your 1866. CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.—The annual meeting of the contributors to this institu tion was held yesterday afternoon. During 1865, 4,535 cases were treated at the dispen sary; 69 children were admitted into the hos pital, 30 being the largest number , at one time, owing to a want of sufficient means to afford accommodations. The expenditures were $4,354, and a balance of $1,034 remains in the Treasurer's hands for 1866, thus leaving part of the current expenses of the coming year to be supplied by the liberality of the public. In the spring the association will build a more commodious hospital on the east side of Twenty-second street, above Locust, having a lot 761, feet frontage by 188 feet in depth. The building will be a plain, substantial brick structure, two-storied, with basement, 64 feet front by 50 deep, faced with brown stone, with a capacity for 30 beds, and so constructed as to allow the addition of wings, should proper encourage ment be extended. The amount to the credit of the building fund is $19,000, and it is particularly desirable that further contri butions should be received. FREAKS OF AN INSANE WOMAN.—A deranged woman named Isabella Barr was arrested yesterday. She had formerly been employed as a domestic in the house of Mr. T. P. James, No. 400 South Ninth street. On Wednesday afternoon she called at the house and inquired for Mr. and Mrs. James. The family was at dinner at the time. Mr. James went down stairs and found the woman in the parlor, endeavor ing to set fire to the furniture with some matches. He asked her what she was doing, when she, drew from under her clothing, a poker with which she struck Mr. James on the forehead felling him to the floor. The noise caused Mrs. James and other members of the family to go down stairs, but the woman rushed from the house and escaped. Yesterday she was observed entering the house of a physician in the neighborhood, and was taken into custody. She will be taken to the Insane Asylum. WHO OCCUPY OUR POLICE STA.TIONS.— Of the 39,315 pirsons arrested by the police of this city during 1865 the nativities were as follows:—United States, 15,611; Ireland, 19,141; Germany, 2,504; England, 1,585; Scotland, 273; `France, 100; Canada, 20; Italy, 32; Poland, 4; Spain, 12 ; Wales, 9 ; Denmark, 2; West Indies, 12; Sweden, 3 ; Norway, 7.

THE HOME FOR AGED COLORED PEOPLE. The contributors to, this institution held their annual meeting yesterday. During the year 1865 twenty-three aged colored per sons have been sheltered and cared for in the Home, which is located at N 0.340 South Front street. The treasurer's report shows that the association is now free from debt, the mortgage on the Home having been paid off. DOMESTIC, Bimormrs.—Prices in market this morning were as follows: Apples, 38 to 450. per half peck; batter. 55 to 600. per pound; celery, 6 - at3o. per bunch; cabbage, 3 to nee Per head; crattberriee, 10 to 15c. per quart; eggs, 40 to 45c, per ozen; roast beef, 22 to 26c, per potind;surloin steaks,3o to 35e. per pound; mutton, .12 t 0 .200 - per pound;, chops, 20 to 22c. per pound, pork, 14 to 20c.1 per pound; potatoes, 22 to 28e. per half peck; poultry, 25 to 30c: per pound;, turnips 14 to 16c. per half peck, and eel, 12 to 30e. per, pound. NEW BUILDINGS. r. J. Rhodes is rapidly increasing the na ber of dwellings in the northern part of the city. On Tenth street, above Columbia avnnue, he is erect ing five three-story houses. On Ninth street, above Montgomery avenue, fifteen are going up—ten two-story . and five three story. He has recently - finished nine two story houses, fronting the Germantown Railroad, running south rom Burk street, and two larger buildings on Ninth street, corner Burk. We are informed that this gentleman designs puttin up a number of additional dwellings in th spring. Indeed,we were unable to obtain th extent of his pre sent building operations, which are said to include many more than we have named. Mr. Joseph Thornton has nearly com pleted nine splendid h uses, three-story back and front, on Coln bia avenue, near the Germantown Railro ,to which three more will soon be added. On Warnock street he has put up eight hour a, three-story front and two-story back, wi all the modern improvements. He is 'gging the cellars for eighteen more onenth street, above Columbia avenue, all of hich will be three stories) front and back, ith every fixture for family convenienc This gentleman has just completed sixty ouses on Eleventh street, above. Columbia a enue, three stories front and two stories baCk. In the square between Tenth and Elt i venth streets, and Columbia and Montgom ry avenues, he has built up a very pret street, of fifteen 7 1 .0 houses on each side, all rep stories high. This street runs south m Montgomery avenue. On Warnock treat, in the same block, fifteen houses on each side are just finished, all three stori front and. two sto ries back. He will ad twenty-four more to this block, nextsprin , and an addition to all these, will build ferty-four more on Alden street as soon ashe season opens. Mr. John Davy is building a row.of large three story buildings n Fifteenth street, extending south from Crord street, part of which are already enc osed, each having extensive three story baCk buildings. These will be first-class dwellings, with marble facings on the basement, marble doorways, and will contain all the modern improve ments. This gentleman. built the splendid row of houses on Fifteenth street, west side, between Oxford street and Columbia - avenue. We learn tlat he contemplates building quite extensiv ly the coming sum mer and that those named above fall short of the number he will put up this spring. Mr. Isaac Seneff is building a row of three story houses on Ontario,l street, south of Jef ferson; and is finishing two large splendid mansions on Broad street, south of Jeffer son. These will be three story front and back, with French roofs, and will be very attractive. He also is building in other places. Mr. Isaac E. Bliem has enclosed, and is rapidly completing six three-story, French roofed dwellings, on the east side of Broad street, south of Mastet, three stories front and back, with brown-stone 'facings and brick dressings, containing all the modern improvements. Theselwill be almost pala tial residences, and quite an ornament to our city. On Thirteenth street, above Mas ter, he is putting. up (twelve houses, three stories front and hal, with marble dress ings. On Master streeet , west of Thirteenth, four more of the same, , dimensions. He is also building ten mote three-story build ings (front and back) on Mary street, north of Master; and to sill . these, he will add a large number next spring. Mr. Christopher Binder is about finishing fourteen three-story houses on Thompson street, extending west, from the corner of Seventeenth street; twenty-eight two-story dwellings on Seybert 'street, running west from Seventeenteenthistreet, betweenSMas ter and Thompson Streets; fifteen more three-story front and double three-story back, running north from Girard avenue, and fronting on Eighteenth street. Mr. James McElroys building seventeen dwellings on Seybertstreet, running west from Eighteenth; fouon Eighteenth, be low Master , and nine on Nineteenth, below Master. ost of then are three-story, front and two-story back. I In addition to thede we noticed a large number of houses in Course of completion, but were unable to obtain the names of the owners or builders. On many street, south of Jefferson, from 12to 15 houses are going up, three stories front and two stories back; 6 more are being bilift on Cameo street, above Columbia avenue, and below quite a number are enclosed', Most of these are three-story front and two-story back. Mr. Joseph Singerly is constructing a very , large mansion at the corner of Jeffer son and Broad streets. This will be one among the most attractive buildings on that handsome thoroughfare, as well for the extent of its dimensions, as for the beauty of its finish. We do not believe that, in the whole his tory of Philadelphia,, the same evidences of the rapid growth of the city were ever so manifest. Especially is this the case in the north and west end. It would be impos sible to compute the amount of capital in vested, or the number of hands employed, in the work now going on in midwinter, and without cessation during the extreme cold weather we haVe just experienced. In every direction cellars are being excavated, lumber, brick and stone are piled up; and every indication is afforded, that the most t_ extensive building perations will be car ried on as soon as e season opens. CHARGED WITH ROBBERY.—A woman, named Annie Wolf, living at No. 223 Spruce street, had . a hearing before Alderman Beitler, yesterday afternoon, charged with the .larceny of $7 - 85,1 in money, and a gold watch and chain, valued at $825, the pro perty of Mr. James Jerome, residing in IDelaware county, near Media. Mr. Jerome testified, that he gave the money to Miss Wolf, on Wednesday evening, for safe keep ing. When he asked for the money she denied receiving it. The watch and chain were stolen from e table in his room. The accused was committed to answer . DEDICATION.—TIie dedication of the new .i.landing of the B' ainerd Mission School, reenwich street, east of Moyaniensing venue, will be h ld to-morrow, January 14th, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Ad dresses will be ma e by Rev. Dr. Brainerd, Rev. John•McLeo , Rev. Wolcott Calkins, and by the other pastors of the Philadelphia 'churches. A report of the history , and objects of the enterprise will be read by the Chairman of the Building Committee, Mr. R. Sailer. Th'e singing will be by the Children of ,the Sunday school. ROBBING His EMPLOYER.—Nathan Jones had a hearing before Alderman Beitler yes terday, charged w th robbing Mr. David H. Hutchinson,with Whomhe resided in Essex county, Delaware, of a trunk containing clothing and one hundred and fifty dollars i in money. Theobbery was perpetrated on the 14th of December last, and the trunk was removed fro the house about four hundred yards an burned. He was com mitted in defaultf $1,200 bail, for a further hearing on the 23 instant. , THE LITTLE ANDEREIVS HOME.—We have received the following additional con tributions for this charity: I I "A Mother," (C atesville,) .

THE TIME TO BUY MUSLINS, AND WHERE TO Buv THEM.—We need not inform expe rienced housekeepers that the month of January is a good time to buy M ' uslins in order to anticipate, as much as possible, the necessary Spring Sewing. There is, how ever, this reason, a double reason, for, ob serving this rule, the probability being that in a short time prices will be higher than now by a considerable percentage. The well-known old Dry Goods house of Messrs. Cooper & Conard, Ninth and Market streets, as usual, leads the van in this important department of staples, having purchased heavily when muslins were at their lowest figures, and being determined to give their customers the advantage of this fact until theirbresent supply is exhausted. Crowds or purchasers now throng the store, and they are obtaining bargains, not only in Bleached and Unbleached Muslin, of every grade and width, but in Cloths, Cassimeres, Cloakings and Boys' Wear; table damask; napkins, ticking; black alpacas, delaines, quilts, blankets in every variety, and other dry goods, of which their stock is one of the largest and most attractive in the city. The reputation of Messrs. Cooper 42 Conard for selling good goods, at moderate prices, is proverbial. STEAMSHIP LINE TO SOUTHERN PORTS.— At a meeting of the committee on the sub ject of establishing a steamship line between Philadelphia and our Southern ports, held yesterday afternoon, it was announced that subscriptions had been received, in addition to those previously reported, atee amount of $40,000, and that the aggregateof the col lection is still less than $500,000.

THE ICE BLOCKADE.--NOW that the Dela• ware river presents a serious impediment to navigation in consequence of the ice block ade, attention is naturally directed to other sources of communication between the Capes and the city of Philadelphia. Merchants engaged in foreign and (coasting commerce are subjected every winter to great inconve nience in getting their goods from the breakwater to the city, and thousands of dollars are expended lby them and the authorities to keep ice boats in proper con dition to afford assistance. Even these, at times, are of little use. It often happens that millions of dollars'worth of goods are blocked up In the river because of the inability of thevessels to reach Philadelphia. Here is a loss of a serious character both in the sales and damaging of the goods,and it be comes a matter of momentous interest to the commercial and business men of that city to seek a remedy against such drawbacks. Half of the money expended at the present time in the attempt to keep the ice broken, would provide safe and expeditious transit for their goods over the Cape May and West Jersey Railroads. Efforts are now in pro gress by influential gentlemen, to secure a safe landing, with all necesssiry wharfage, on the Bay side of Cape Island, at or near the present steamboat landing, where ves sels can discharge their cargoes. From these wharves a railroad track will likewise be laid, connecting with the Cape May road, thus affording ample facilities for immediate transportation of said goods to their owners in Philadelphia. This enterprise is important in every respect, and the amount of capital necessary to complete it is of little account when com pared with the great advantages it will con fer. It is one which'sertainly deserves seri ous consideration, and which cannot fail to advance both the interests of South Jersey and Philadelphia business men, alike. The railroad company design at an early day to extend their track to that point,and it would he well for merchants to aid in building the cessary wharves and safe harbor for their vessels to land their cargoes at. When once otnpleted, such improvements would be of incalculable benefit to all concerned.
