A Tile of a Dow We know a very. worthy-family residing near Germantown that was latojy the pos sessor of a dog that is a character. poodle for such is his name, belongs to the poodle species. •He is not such a poodle as lolls about on cushions, eats custard; nestles in ladies' laps and barks querulously and con stantly at everything and nothing. Billy is made of sterner stuff; and he is a perfect canine disciple of Demosthenes in respect to his fondnees for action, action, action! The young men of the family afforded Billy a fair field for the exercise of his restless • qualities, and When he was commissioned to do an errand he never stopped for the for mality of opening a gate; bat he would clear the garden fence at a bound and dash off to do the bidding of those who sent him. Billy would go to the store of an errand, taking written orders for what was wanted • and the money to pay for it, and he ' never failed to do his errand faithfully and intel ligently. He went to Germantown regularly for.the evening paper, and we presume that he would have been too sharp to have ayes teiday's paper foisted upon him, or to have put up with any other sheet than the Bun nrrmt. Billy . was always on the lookout for the interests of the family in winch he was domiciled. When visito - is came to !the „house he could tell with. half an eye who were respectable and trustworthy, and he paid no further attention to them except to `skylark with them, if they desired it, or to play dog tricks-for,their amusement. Bat' . let a beggar or a sttspicious looking. indi -;vidnal come about the place and 'ltilly was -another dog; he made-no ,unnecessary fuss' -about it, but tlisareellytlogge&the intruder place' to, place with an air and a man ner which declared almost, as plainly as though he had said it: "I know - your tricks, and I - Mean to keep an eye on you; so the sooner you take yourself, off the better for all' parties." • Billy was of course .tt great fitvorite with the boys `of the neighbothood and he par ticipated in all_their out-dooriamusements 'with the most refreshing 'vinr and spirit. Evert in such diaorte" - as "coasting" . Billy was foilaniost among the foremost Furnish him with a sled, and mounting upon it he would godown the hill merrily and when he reached the bottom he would seize the rope between his teeth and away he would caper to the top of the hill to join again his fellow coasters on another and another d - scent to the bottom. But Billy has become dissipated ; he has turned "fire-sharp ;" he runs "wid der macheen," and instead of being the denizen of a quiet mansion, he "bunksiat the en gine-house. Deserting his old friends, he has been led away by the fascinations of the fire company to which he has attached himself, and while he maintains friendly relations with his old friends by paying them occasional visits, he has taken up his permanent abode at the engine-house. Billy has an eye to the advantages of per sonal embellishment, and he frisks about and wags his tail at a wonderful rate when ever he is treated to a new collar, an oil akin cape, a red shirt, or any other personal ornament of a fireman cast. On such occa sions he always dashes off to his old friends to show them his new finery, and he makes no secret of the pride which he feels in the display. Within a few days he made his gotten up in most stunning style and evincing a corresponding degree of the most animated delight. His firemen cronies had developed his moustache and eye-brOws by a judicious application of razor and scissors; these hirsute appendages were dyed a jetty black; his tail had re ceived a dainty pink tint, and his long lapping ears were of a brilliant solferino hue. To the critical eye Billy presented as ridiculous a figure as a lady with a gigantic water-fall attached to the rear of her head and with a trail of costly materials sweep= ing up the dirt of the side walk. But Billy, keen as he is in general, failed to appreciate the abiurdity of his appearance and after showing off his finery to his old friends, he promenaded back to Germantown "as proud as a dog with two tails." After all there is a good deal in common between human nature and canine nature, and Billy is a distinguished exponent of that fact. CITY lIIILLIFITIN. "La coterie Carnival ." There was not only a "sound" of "revelry," last evening, at the Academy of Music, but the absolute reality was expe rienced by several thousands of "the beauty and the chivalry" of Philadelphia. - The concourse was drawn together in honor of "La •Coterie Carnival," which took place then and there, and it certainly, without qualification, was the grandest bal masqu6 ever given in this city. The Academy was ' beautifully arranged ;or the occasion, the den:orations were extremely tasteful, and the musical portion of the festlial, being under the charge of Mr. Birg , feld and:other able conductors, it can readily be seen that that part of the entertainment was really superb. We could have wished that the weather had 'been superb also, but it was not. In fact it was direfully slushy, and the carpet laid from the carriage-way to the door of the Academy was decidedly a pleasant innovation. 'Every one has some story to tell of the difflcultiea of reach ing Broad and Locust streets and of the passage through the • crowd which thronged about the door; bat once inside,the ladies could settle their plumage with com fort and the gentlemen could restore the pristine polish, of their boota in the course of a few minutes. Proceeding from the "tiring rooms" and lookingtowards the stage, from the balcony, the scene presented was one of genuine splendor. The vast building showed a sea of faces; wherever a seat could be obtained it was occupied, from the parquet circle to the amphitheatre, while the par quet, which had been floored over on a le;vel with the stage, was thronged with a con course of hundreds of ladies and gentlemen in the most brilliant, grotesque, odd, quaint, outre and absurd costumes. Gold gleamed, ' • jewels flashed, bright eyes sparkled, white shoulders looked like Pariahmarble, and • soft voices murmured like the rippling of a hundred , brooks in summer. To add to the enchantment of the scene the piercing me _ „lody . of scores of canaries, whose cages "k - decorated the house, rang from parquet to roof, the merry birds seeming to be intoxi • toted with the light, the music, and the hum . . -of voices. - - _ , . is difficult to describe a ball, or any other merely pedal entertainment, and "La Coterie Carnival" was like others in respect to the flirtations, the triumphs, the jea ' lonaies, the 'torments of the coatroom, dtc., the. :It was, however,. badly managed in some"respects. For instance: There should have been no confusion or tumult at the princlpaldoor there should have been arrangements which would have been sit's - *factory-in the "eating department," and more care should have been shown-in the disposal of tickets. The bounty-jumping and.pickpockeling fraternity still flourish and their reprasentativea sPlNtwed "in fall feather" at this entertainment. We Mike the suggestion for the future, use of kiesers. Abel ar.Risley, the thief spirits cif the ball. ; In regard to the costumes we, have nothing to say save ungnalified•praise. No such dressing has been seen, within Our recollection, in'' this city, and we doubt whether such splendid costuming has ever been known in the 'United States. A. mere glance at the various dresses of prominence would have occupied the gazer half of the night, while hls attention would have been in constant danger of distraction, by reason of the other delights of the festival. UNION TEMPORARY HOME ,FOR CHITA DREN.—The annual meeting of the contri butors to this institution was held .yester day afternoon. The report of the managers state, though the accommodations are all on a liberal scale, and the children as healthy and contented as could be, yet the institu tion, from lack of means, is able to do but a tithe of what is demanded from it. In one single month fifty needy applicants have had their children rejected solely through want of funds to, provides larger building, and they have gone away dispirited and sorrowing, During the year 1865 sixty-live children were admitted. - There are now in the Home sixty-three—boys, twenty; gtrls, forty-three. Their health has been excellent and none have died during the past year. In the last five years only one', child has died in this institution. DEATH OT AN OLD CITIZEN.—Mr. George Ord, one of the oldest and most ~ respected citizens of Philadelphia, died at his resin deuce, in Front street, above Catharine; on the 24th instant, aged eighty=four years. Mr. Ord lived in the house in which he died from the time of his birth, and- at, his Ide cease the family mansion remained asi t he knew it in his boyhood days, no change whatever having taken place in it, nor had any article of furniture been removed, IHe was for a long time President of the Aca demy of Natural Sciences, which positiori he resigned some years ago, by reason of his increasing age, and he was an active and much respected member of the American Philosophical Society, and of other scientific and literaryassociations inthis cohntry and abroad. , LARCENY OF MOLASES..—Before Alder man, Beitler. yesterday • afternoon Jarnes McArdle, a drayman, was charged 'the larceny of fourteen, hogsheads of mo lasses, valued at $ll5 per hosghead, the property of White s Brother 4k. Co., and Mc- Bride dr, Co., Nos. 310 and 312 South Dela ware avenue. The hogsheads were missed on the 12th of December last, and eight of them were recovered at a vinegar establish ment in the lower part of the city. It was testified to that Mr. Horans had purchaed five hogsheads from one of the firms, but the other eight had not been paid for. Several draymen, under the superintendence of the prisoner, testified that they had been to haul the hogsheads to the estab lishment by McArdle. The accused was committed in default of $2,500 bail. BOOTS AID SHOES WANTED.—There has been very great suffering among the freed: men in Tennessee, and other mountain dis tricts for want of shoes. It was resolved at a meeting of the Finance Committee of the Woman's Penna. Brnch of the American Freedmen's Aid Commission, to apply to each of the dealers in boots and shoes of this city for donations in kind. The Committee ear nestly hope for a liberal response. Men's, women's, children's shoes, odd pairs, old fashioned or imperfect stock will be grate fully received. The Freedmen's Rooms, 418 Walnut street, are dally open from 11 A. M., till 2 P. M., to receive,goods or subscrip tions. Any donation of shoes made in answer to this notice, will be immediately acknowledged in the public press. ASHLAND.—Prom the Lexington (Ky.) Observer and Reporter, we learn that "Ash land," so long the home of Henry Clay, has been purchased by the Trustees of the Ken tucky University, at a cost of $90,000. The farm contains about three hundred and twenty-five acres of the best land in the Blue-grassregion of Kentucky. The Ken tucky Agricultural School, which is under the patronage of the State, as well as the other schools of the University, will be es tablished at "Ashland," and itis proposed to begin the improvements on a most ex tended and magnificent scale. A greater portion of the farm will be devoted to experimental farming, as the best andmest effectual means of securing to the students of the Agricultural School a thororigh knowledge of practical farming. LA COTERIE BLexclux.—The grand hop ofLa Coterie Blanche will be given at the Academy of Music on the 7th of February next. The management of the affair has been placed in the hands of gentlemen who are thoroughly competent to make it a suc cess, and another brilliant scene, such; as was witnessed last evening on the occasion of the Coterie Carnival, may be expected.

LOAN ASSOOLATIONS.- About fourteen years ago, the introduction of these useful institutions was met with -many predictions of failure. The experi ment was tried, however, with what success is attested by the addition of more than - a hundred houses to our city, To-day, those who were-renters twelve and fourteen years ago, occupy their - own houses; and would be tenants still, but for building and loan associations. The acquisition of real estate is not the only advantage they afford. - Those owning shares, and able to give proper security, can procure capital to com mence or enlarge business; and when the institution winds up, the debt is paid. In either case, the payments, being paid monthly in small sums, are scarcely felt. Aside from this, they answer all the pur poses of a savings bank to those who have no immediate use for money. We have two, if not three associations of this kind in Camden in operation now. The Franklin is a continuation of the one started about thirteen years since, which wound up its affairs so satisfactorily, that the old share holders immediately formed another with the same title. It will soon complete its third year; and although the premiums do not come up to those of the past, the average sales are quite encouraging. Poor men could ask no better facilities for se curing a home. ATLANTIC Crrr.—Early last fall operations were commenced at Atlantic city for build ing a number of new and fine residences, most of which were of the cottage style, and for private uses. But since that time mea sures have been taken to increase the im provements there to . a very large extent. Contracts for several hotels, and upwards of fifty private dwelling houses have already been made, and other buildings are like wise to be erected for various purposes. At the corner of Atlantic and North Carolina avenues, the Misses Lee, of the Mansion House, have given a fine lot of ground to the Episcopal congregation, on which a tasteful and commodious church edifice will be erected. Efforts are being made to reconsolidate the city into one ward, the permanent citizens believing such a condi tion would better facilitate the municipal regulations and government thereof. Alto gether, the coming spring will he a very active one in the building line, ANOTHER RAILROAD PROJEOP.—A num ber of New York gentlemen interested in the Raritan Delaware Bay Railroad, are endeavoring to obtain a charter authorizing the continuance of that track from Jackson Junction to the Delaware river, at Penns grove or Pennsville. This scheme has been before the New i Jersey Legislature on several occasions, but it has not yet been authorized, and it is not likely that it will be this winter. NEWSPAPER .REMOVAL.—The South Jer sey _Republican, the Organ of the Union party of Atlantic county, will soon be re moved from Absecom village to Hammon ton, where Mr. Snow, its proprietor, in tends to locate it permanently.

Microscopic examinations of the bodies of cattle which have died of the plague in England show that the muscles of the dis eased animals are invariably infested with numberless parasites.

"Sweet are the uses of advertisements"— [Mrs. Partington.] Congress has just confirmed General Sherman's grants of St. Simon's Island to the freedmen. General Grant's Sherman is confirmed by the same act. On Christmas day, while the congregation were attending Divine service in Dudley Church, England, a heavy piece of iron was thrown through one of the new orna mental windows upon the north side of the edifice. Such attempt at introducing missals into the Episcopal church should be prompt- . ly put down. A recent Court Circular mentions that Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice attended service at Whippingham church. It speaks badly for the, discipline of the Queen's family when they 'resort to whip ping-'em on Sunday. The - word Carnival is derived from the Latin carnivale, farewell to meat! Hence the ball last night was called a carnival. [Contributed by an unsuppertable masker, who could not get anything to eat.] Death of Frederik° Bremer. Yesterday's European steamer reports the death of Frederika Bremer, the. Swedish novelist, one of the best known women of the century. Shelves born in 1802, on the banks of the Aura, near Abo, in Finland. ,Her family, which was , wealthy, removed into Sweden when she' was about three years old. She was carefully educated, spent a year in Paris, and was afterwards a teacher in a female seminary. in Stockholm. In. 1642 her novel "The Neighbors" was translated into English byMary Howitt,pub lished in England, and immediately became popular. Subsequently Mrs. Howitt trans lated "The Home," "The Diary," "The H. Family," •The President's Daughter," "Nina," "Brothers and Sisters," "Life in Dalecarlia," and "The Midnight;" all. of which were republished in America, and widely circulated. In 18.50-M, Miss Bremer visited America, and was very warmly welcomed. She had previously traveled widely on the continent of Europe and in England. On her return from the 'United States, she published a book made up of let ters to her sister, entitled "Homes of the New .World," which appeared simul taneously in Sweden, England., and America. "England in t 851," appeared at Altona _in 1652. In 1856 she wrote " Hortha," in 1655 " Father and Daughter," and after a residence in the South of Europe she published in 1860 "Two Years in Switzerland and Italy." This was followed by a journey to the Holy Land, whence she returned by way of Turkey and Greece, and in the latter country prepared her books on the Holy Land and Turkey. At the time of her death she was residing in Stockholm. Miss Bremer will be very generally re gretted in the United States, where her books are widely read, and where she made many personal friends during her visit. The most complete edition of her works was published at Leipsic in 20 vols., from 1841 to 1553; and many of them have been trans lated into German. French, and Dutch, as well as into English. LUMBER.
