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.

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

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 .

.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

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

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

incalculable benefit to all concerned.
