CITY BULLETIN.
F BROAD STREET.—We are glad to see that
the residents of Broad street are reaolved to
keep that splendid avenue free from railroad
tracks if it is possible legally to do so. We
have feared that the railway monopolies
would gain ground and that this grand
thoroughfare would be ruined; but it is
pleasant to feel that if the bill presented in
Councils by Mr. Gray, and which is to be
acted on by the Legislature,is passed, there
will be no more danger. The act is quite
comprehensive and, as it has not hitherto
been published, we copy it in full, in confi
dence that every public.spirited citizen will
cordially and thoroughly approve the act:
"An Act to Incorporate the Citizens' Asso•
ciation for the Improvement of Broad

BLITZ AMONG THE SOLDIERS.—Signor
Blitz gave one of his gratuitous exhibitions
on Wednesday last to the inmates of the
Christian Street Hospital. The soldiers
were greatly delighted with the Signor's en
tertainment, and the wonderful perform
ances of his famous birds and his tricks of
legerdemain and ventriloquism were greeted
with rounds of applause by those maimed
and crippled heroes of the war. Signor
Blitz is one of our most patriotic citizens,
and since the commencement of the war
has cheerfully responded to the numerous
calls made upon him from the various army
hospitals for, professional services. His
audiences in this way have numbered,
during the last four or five years, over
63,000 sick and wounded soldiers, and Signor
Blitz, who has become such a complete
"institution" of Philadelphia, deserves
much credit for devoting so large a portion
of his time and abilities to the entertain
ment of those who have been suffering from
the weariness of the sick-bed in their hos
pital life.

THE ODD FELLOWS' HALL.—This large
building, which has recently been. par
chased by John Morgan, Esq., and which
was formerly occupied by the Provost
Marshal, has just, undergone a complete
alteration. The present proprietor, feeling
that a building was needed in Camden in
which public meetings,
concerts, lectures,
exhibitions, &c., could be held, has tho
roughly remodeled the Odd Fellows' Hall
for that purpose. It is now the neatest and
most convenient hall in the city, sufficiently
capacious to seat five or aix hundred peo
ple with ease and comfort. In addition to
this, he contemplates at an early day, to
purchaseadditional ground adjoining it, and
extend the length of the building eastward,
so that it will cover an area of forty feet
more in depth.
STATE MEDICAL SOCIETY.—The annual
meeting of this body was held at New
Brunswick, recently. It is said to have
been one of the largest and most interesting
meetings yet held. ;Quite a large delegation
from this city were present. The following
officers were elected for the ensuing year:
President, Dr. B. R. Bateman; fitst Vice-
President, Dr. Johnson; second, Dr. T. J.
'
Corson. third. Dr. William Pierson, Sr.,
Secretary, Dr. William Pierson, Jr.. Treas
urer Dr. Baldwin; Recording Secretary, Dr.
English: Corresponding Secretary, Dr. C.
Hodge, Jr.;Chairman Standing Committee,
Dr. S. Wickers. Several papers were read,
showing the , advance of medical science,
and a practical essay on a medical subject
was produced by one of the members,
which is highly spoken of.
CTMBERLAND COMPANY AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.—This society held its annual
meeting, in Burlington, on Wednesday last.
It was resolved to hold the next fair two
days, and to erect suitable buildings on the•
ground for the ladies' department, and an
other for the protection of perishable arti
cles. The rapid improvement of the soil in
this county, is yearly adding to the splendor
and variety of the fairs. The railroads and
increasing population, especially at Vine
land, Bridgeton and Millville, have greatly
enhanced the value of land, and much that
was valueless has been reclaimed, and
made highly productive.
PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—Mr. Martin Bowen,
employed in a steam saw mill at Bridgeton,
while sawing a piece of timber .one day last
week, had all the fingers on his left hand
sawed off. Drs. Robert and William El
mer, Tr., dressed his wounds, which are
doing well, but such an accident will prove
a life long detriment to the sufferer, who
depends upon his business for a living.
THE WRONG MAN,—The man who was
arrested for the larceny ofgoods from boats
at Cooper's Point, recently, and whose wife
was also locked up, was the watchman of
a canal boat at that point, and not the
watchman of the ferry boats belonging to
the company there.

YOUNG ALENNERCHOR, JAN. 29, COMpOsED BY
A FBIESD
'Tis the Carnival time! and old Winter, arrayed
In garments of white, speaks of age and decay;
Yet a hoary old prophet be stands undismayed
And tells ns of Springtime, of We and of day.
We muyt soon say farewell to the feast and the song—
Exalting our thoughts to the true and sublime,
But the Joss of the past, that to mem'ry belong,
Allure us again at this festival time.
Then haste to tt e Carnival. revel awhile
With fanciful Joy In life's holiday dream;
Till the rapture of youth, its allurements, Its smile,
Pass before us and e'en a reality seem.
Oh came! joyona maiden ,thy beantifutsmile,
The gay robe of fancy—unfettered by care;
Thy glad song of Joy shall the t ours beguile,
And love be the guerdon awaiting thee there.
Oh ! hasten, brave youth, clad In the armor of light,
With shield and with buckler prepared for the strife,
Hope and Joy fill thy breast—and thine eye sparkling
bright,
Proclaim thee success in "tha battle of light."
Fair matrons, adorned with the grates of h-me!
Come show us the pleasures that never can cloy,
Bring bright, smiling children—oh, hasten and come
'I hat child voices gladly may echo our Joy!
Fond lovers betrothed—to I be banquet repair.
To the "bower of roses - -where love reigns su
preme,
Hand In hand, heart In heart—lts delights ye may
share,
And prove to the world—that true lore is no dream.
And thus, while the gay witching scene we enjoy,
May we cull the fair flowers oft eve. Hope and Truth,
And learn all the seasons of life, to eropl
That they yield us pure bliss, both In age and in
yenta.
Farewell then to pleasures that Lade and decay,
And welcome the time of devotional
Thns each heaven-sent Joy, as it passes away,
A foretaste shall be—of "Elysium"—above.
