017 R. MEDICAL SCHOOLS. Clinics of the: Philadelphia Hospital, Alma House, West Philadelphia. 'WEDNESDAY, FEERIT.A.RY 7TH, ..1866. MEDICAL CLINIC, ALFRED STILLE, M. D.— The clinic'of the Medical Department of the above Institution of Wednesday last pre sented some few particularly interesting, oases. We only give the most important. The first subject presented to the attention of the assembled students was one_ of typhus, contradistingnisbed from typhoid fever, diseases, nnliappily,too prevalent du ring the last year, and, unfortunately, too prominent in our weekly bills of mortality even now. - The patient was introduced, warmly wrapped, on a stretcher, and placed in full view of the auditory. The object of the. lecturer, Dr. Stile, was to point out the differenbes between the two diseases, by actual examination: The patient exhibited the characteristic eruption of typhus, differ ing from that ,of typhoid in its appearance over the whole surface of the body, while in the latter it is located chiefly, and indeed, almost altogether, on the stomach and ab domen alone. The back of the invalid ex hibited these signs in a remarkable degree. The modes of treatment pursued by the physician in attendance was a nour ishing diet, and the use of the new remedial agent, the sulphate of einchonia, spoken of in our last notice, in lieu of the sulphate of • quinia (qUinine), as a strengthening tonic. The doctor spoke of the importance of this new article of cure, describing it as un failing in its results, and advising its use in all fevers of an intermittent character. We omitted to mention before, that its introdite tion and adoption in the institution, was mainly owing to Dr. J. L. Ludlow, who used it in every case he had under treat ment during the fast three months of this course of clinics. The next case was one of erysipelas in the face, the patient being in a state of con valescence. The face and head were still considerably swollen, particularly the lips and eyes, but the disease had evidently yielded to the judicious treatment em ployed. Here, too, cinchonia had displayed its usual efficacy as a tonic. Its use, how ever, was only commenced, when the dis ease succumbed to the skill of the physi cian. A milk, and otherwise highly nour ishing diet, was superadded, and the patient is in a fair way of permanent recovery. The Doctor next exhibited several anato mical preparations, of recent cases, some of lung disease, and some of disease of the heart, which were very interesting, exhibit ing the difference between the normal and abnormal condition of the parts affected. One of hepatized condition of the lung, from pneumonia, and another of valvular disease of the heart, excited much attention, ex hibited, as they were, in contrast with healthy specimens of the same organs. SURGICAL CLINIC.—R. J. Levis, M. D.— The clinic of the Surgical Department fol lowed in its regular turn, Doctor Levis oc cupying his usual position as lecturer. Sere there were quite a number of cases pre sented, principally of indolent ulcers of long standing, curable and incurable, some of which exhibited an almost hideous aspect. The mode of treatment of this class of diseales is an object of no earthly use out side of the profession, and is so purposely omitted. The lecturer closed the morning's pro ceedings by a very delicate operation of re moval of cataract from the right eye. The patient was some sixty years of age. This was an affection, apparently, of long stand ing, covering the whole surface of the The old lady was subjected to the use of ether, and remained under its influence precisely twelve minutes. The' operation was a perfect success. The left eye was also slightly affected, but was not operated on. The Doctor, in the course of the operation, alluded to his use of nitrous oxide gas, be fore reported, en a former occasion—the am putation of the leg at the knee joint, and the gratifying result which followed the new means of producing anaesthesia. We have here to correct an error in our report of that operation, that of stating that the time, twelve minutes, the patient was under the influence of the gas was the longest on re cord in this city, or indeed anywhere. It was the longest on record in Philadelphia, but we are informed by Dr. A. M. Show, one of the Resident Physicians of the house, that in a recent case, in one of the New York city hospitals, e patient remained under its influence fifteen minutes, which is the great est length of time known in this country. After the students were dismissed,the lec turers, in company with the Assistant Resi dent Physicians, proceeded to visit the vari ous wards. The patient of the knee-joint operation was doing finely. Another case of tying the axillary artery, in consequence of sloughing from a previous operation, ex cited much interest. The sufferer had lost a very large amount of blood, and was, of course, very feeble, and presented a sad ob ject. The indications in his case are by no means favorablb, as hemorrhage of other vessels may ensue at any moment, when the resul must inevitably prove fatal.. The Clinics of the Pennsylvania Hospi- To the Editor of the Evening Bulletin— Your reporter, under the caption of "Our Medical Schools," asserts that .the medical "clinics" at the Alms House Hospital "pro ceeded by very many years those given at the Pennsylvania Hospital or any other on this continent, having been instituted by Dr. Shippen in 1788." Permit me to correct himfas regard thouennsylvania Hospital. In this stitnistudents attended the practice of the physicians and surgeons, and were taught by them at the bed side of the patient, almost from the Opening of the hospital in 1752. In 1763 their number had become considerable, and the managers demanded a fee for the privi lege. In the year 1766, I*. Thomas Bond commenced a regular course of clinical lectures to the students, of which the mana gers thought so highly that they had the Introductory Lecture copied into their min ute book. And from that time to this, clini cal lectures have ..continued to be given i n the Hospital; at the bedside when the classes were small,and when these were too large to be taken through the wards, in the amphi theatre, to which the patients were con yeyed. In regard to the substitution& cinchonia for quinine, stated by your reporter to be a recent discovery made at the Almshouse, allow me to inform:him that this substitu tion was made sixteen years ago, in the Pennsylvania Hospital, by the late Dr. Pep per and the results published in the medi cal journals of the day This drug has also been extensively used the. physicians of the Philadelphia Dispensary. _Early in the late war it'was recommended to the , notice of the medical officers of the United States army, but disregarded, as economy was not their specialty. I have no wish, I assure you, to detract from the real merits, many and great as I knew them to bo, of the Institution and Faculty eulogized by your reporter; but would merely suggest that in the future essays promised.by him it may be well to pay more regard to the trite but useful rale of the late David Crooket, Esq. W. LI) Iva au if n Doi Altoerinin OIL Cases. Charles Moore, John Wilcock and H. K. Eaton were before Recorder Eneu;yesterday afternoon charged with conspiracy to cheat and defraud Chas. T. Yerkes out of $ll,OOO in the purchase of stock in the Eva Oil Company. Edward D. Foulk, the Secretary and Treasury of the Company testified that the land which was claimed to be that of the company's is lo cated in Spring Creek township, Warren county, Pennsylvania, and to consist of .thirty acres. He had never seen the deed of the land, none having ever been delivered to him. The certificate which has been sent to the Auditor General of the State, and in which the character of the company was supposed to be set forth, represented that the capital stock was $lOO,OOO, and that 100,000 shares at one dollar per share had been subscribed. for, yet the cash book of the Secretary and Treasner showed that he bad received but $315 from all sources, $2OO of which had been received through the city post from H. R.Weigland, the Superin tendent. All the stock was held by H.l N. Wrigley as the purchaser of the land, most of which he transferred to H. R. Eaton in various amounts. The Secretary -had not any knowledge of the stook after the transfer had been made. His attention was called to the fact that by- a receipt fur nished, the stock book of the company had been bought on the 25th of October, where: as the certificates of stock were dated Octo ber 21st, four days before the book came into the possession of the company. He said that he could not give an explanation of it. The hearing was continued until Mon day next. PRIZE FIGHTING EN A RESTAITBANT This morning, about 5 o'clock, a squad of the Sixth Ward Police made a descent upon a saloon on the north side of Arch street. above Sixth, having received information that a prize fight was going on there. When the place was entered. two men were found engaged in battering each other. Several rounds had already been fought, and each had been pretty well pummeled. Both had bloody noses and black eyes. The comba• tants were taken into custody, and the spectators of the brutal exhibition, eight or ten men, were also arrested. The prisoners bad a hearing before Alderman Godbou. The fighters gave the names of Thomas Selvin and Charles Mur phy, and were held in one thousand dollars bail to appear at court. George Fisher who was attending bar and had charge of the saloon was held in one thousand dollars bail for keeping a disorderly house, and the others were held to keep the peace. Similar fights are said to have taken place in this saloon before. Last week when the police of the district were all at a fire on Delaware avenue, it is alleged, there was a combat between two prize fighters named Turner and Hastings--the stakes being one hundred dollars. Tae Crry GoviinimmiT.—The following gentlemen were elected Heads of Depart ment yesterday by a joint Convention of City Councils: Commissioner of Highways—Win. W. Smedley.

Cox,of the English brig Theodorus,whe was severely stabbed on Tuesday last. by Mor ris Aherne, a seaman employed on the vessel, died at the Pennsylvania Hospital last evening. It will be remembered that Aherne has been in prison on the charge of desertion and at the time of the commission of the act bad just been taken on the brig for duty. He became very abusive to the captain when he received orders. and finally stabbed him. Coroner Taylor will hold an inquest in the case this afternoon, at half-past three o'clock. Aherne, the alleged murderer, is in Mope mensing prison, having been arrested by Constable Crawford, of Fifth Ward, imme diately upon the commission of the act. ALLEGED BIII{GtABS COMMETTED.—Before Alderman Beitler, yesterday afternoon, there was a farther. hearing in the case of George Weis and David Hardin, charged with burglary. Mr. Charles G. Rowland, residing at Fourth and Diamond streets, testified:that 'his store was broken into and robbed of two overcoats on last Saturday night. The coats were recovered by Detec. tives Henderson and Lamson, and identi fied at the hearing as Mr. Rowland's pro perty. Mr. Bald identified two overcoats recovered by the officers, as his property. Mr. Joseph Barton's store,No. 248 South streets, was entered on last Friday night, and robbed of two overcoats and four dozen hats. Weis, when arrested, was wearing one of the stolen hats. 'The prisoners were fully committed for trial. A BarrmArrr FarrEfriirearsisT.--One of the most fashionable of the superb balls which have signalized this winter, took place last night at National Guards' Hall. It was very fully attended, in spite of the horrible state of the weather. It was given by "The Old Guard ," and the members of the organization should feel proud of the splen did success of their efforts. Quite a pleasant. feature of the festival was the presentation, at twelve o'clock, of a beautiful silk Irish flag and an equally handsome American flag, to the "Old Guard." The presentation was made in graceful and fitting terms by Wm. J. Turner, and the standards were received on the part of the "Old Guard," in a very eloquent address, by Mr. Henry 4. Cook, President of the organization. INTRECBSTDTG LBCTITRE BY MR. FRED REIMS DoranAss.—A very large audience, composedof both white and colored persons, assembled last evening at Concert Hall to hear Frederick Douglass, the able colored orator, on "The Assassination and Its Lessons." The subject of the life and death of President Lincoln was discussed with great force, and the lessons which that career and its ending should teach the nation were brought out with great cogency, and to the great satisfaction of the large audience. SUNDAY CAB TnavEL.—The Germ an League held a meeting last evening, at the Mechanics' Hall, Third street, below Green. The attendance was large. A.ugnstus Born presided. A number of petitions, contain_ mg almost two thousand signatures, in favor of Sunday car travel, were presented, and it was ordered that they be dent to Har risburg. A committee was appointe to draft resolutions on the subject, to be d re ported at a meeting to be held to-morrow evening. • ittm Anz—The sale of oil paintings will be eimtinned this evening, at n o'clock, at Scott's Art gallery 1020 ChestAut atimat I THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : IFRILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, NM. when :many fine and valuable paintings from the old and modern artists, will be disposed of without reserve. ,THE SEASON AND THE Poon—lftrroN BE , NEVOLENT ASSOOLATION.—For thirty-four years this society has been going in and out amongst the citizens of Philadelphia, giving and receiving their alms; and it has never appealed for aid in vain. At the present crisis it needs all it can obtain to enable it to carry on its work. With a hundred lady visitors distributed over the entire city, it reaches nearly every family, and the expe rience of the visitors enable them to discri minate between the worthy and the un worthy. The principle of the soci ety is to distribute favors with a cautious hand, being convinced by long ex perience that this is the only true plan of right charity. Numberless organizations have risen and fallen upon a different prin ciple since its foundation, and numberless others will rise and fall whenever they fail to recognize this principle. Indiscriminate alms-giving is the fosterfather of pauperism, I and it will eventuate in filling any commu nity with beggars. There are myriads of poor who now labor willingly for a living that would not do so if encouraged in idle niss by a mistaken philanthropy, and there are myriads who DO LIVE without labor upon the gains of their children, sent through the streets to beg. At the same time there Is and always will be a very great deal of real suffering, which it is the bounden duty of the good to seek out and relieve. These are principally women and children, not often men, whom women can best minister to. At this crisis many of these are families of discharged soldiers, who would suffer and die in their garrets and cellars unknown to the great public, but for the efforts of our benevolent women, who thread the byways and alleys of the city, to seek out and re lieve them. The number of visits made by by our visitors last year was 17,166, number or families relieved, 7,750,. number of sick cared for 1,090, number of persons found employment, 817; amount of cash distri buted, e 5,684; number of tons of coal given out, 1,740; number of garments, 3,000; num. ber of stoves loaned, 350, and 30 women were found constant employment. In all this visiting there have been, of course, numerous instances of intense hardship brought to light, which, if related, would ap pealto every charitableheart; butithasnever been the practice of the society to obtrude harrowing cases of suffering before the public to excite sympathy. It has relied rather upon the intelligent judgment of the public to sustain its steady work. Its respectable Board of Managers is a guarantee of re sponsibility, and they all now urge upon the public notice the wants of the poor at the close of the season. Messrs. Cooper and Evans, the authorized collectors, will immediately make their final call for the year. Money may also be lett with Edmund Wilcox, Treasurer, 4 04 Chestnut street; or with John Hicks, agent, at the office of the Society, corner of San scm and Seventh streets. SAMUEL H. PEKE Ns.

DESPERATE CONFLICT BsTwincsr Duna- LA RS AND A POLICEMAN—TEE OFFICER BADLY INJURED. —This morning, between three and four o'clock, the counting house attached to the brick yar,d of Amos Ellis, on Jefferson street, below Tenth, was entered by forcing open a window shutter. Officer Henry Aldridge . , of the Twelfth District Police, was passing the place, when he ob served a colored man come out with a shovel and pick on his shoulder. When he saw the officer, the negro dropped his shovel and pick. Aldridge then seized him, and tne two clinched. A desperate struggle ensued and the officer was finally thrown to the sidewalk. He got rather the best of his man, and was about feeling for a weapon when he was struck a violent blow on the forehead by another man and felL to the sidewalk in an insensible con dition. The burglars then fled. How long he remained insensible officer Aldridge is unable tostate, but when he returned to concionsness he sprang his rattle and then obtained assistance. It was then found that his back had been injured, and that he was unable to move. He was conveyed to his residence, No. 1513 Cameo street, where he is now confined to his bed. Officer Aldridge is somewhat unfortunate. A short time since he was kicked in the jaw by a prisoner and bad just recovered sufficiently from that injury to go on duty again, when he met with a second mishap. ...""A.TTEM - PTMD BURGE. A RIP-cl —About nine o'clock last evening an attempt was made to enter a dwelling, No. 1002 Walnut street. The burglar - scaled a back fence on an alley and forced open the kitchen door. He was then frightened off and obtained no plunder. This morning about three o'clock a simi lar attempt was made upon No. 1006 Wal nut street, but the thief met with the same success. STORE ROBBERY.—Last night the carpet store of J. McCutcheon, at the N. E. corner Second and Coates streets, was entered by forcing a door which was on an entry lead ing to a library room in the upper part of the building. The fire-proof safe was forced open and a city bond for $lOO, and, $3O in cash, was stolen. MESSES. J. C. STBAWBRLDGE & Co.

Editor: I visited this abode of the Oitrits, in our neighborhood, last evening, arid found goings on there that were clearly attributed to the spirits, and threw your reporter'a account completely into the shade, and would have thrown yenr reporter there, too, if the Spirits had got ae much a hold of him as they had of the people I saw sitting around. On the table I noticed four broken pipes, one decanter without a stopper, three glass tumblers with the handles broken off, and one wine-glass that had nothing but the stand left. The gentlemen who bad been communi cating with the Soirita were much overcome, some lying under the table, some on the table; and one gen- • tiemen Bitting in the corner of the room, on the floor, and seeing me taking notes, ejaculated, in broken and evidently frightened sentences, something like this: "Sir-stra-stranger, t (bin) ake someth (bin) Eng: help sel." On the walls the pictures were all more or less in a:state of dilapidation. One with a gilt frame, that had formerly been a colors d show card of Charles Stokes & Co.'s Ready made Clothing Reuse, under the Continental, was in part pasted over with a picture of the 'Benicia Boy" and Tom Sayers, and in fact every ihing around the room and about the house showed signß:of the presence of Spirits of the most dangerous Character.

PoLITICAL.—The active politicians of Camden are very busily engaged at the present time in arranging the preliminaries for the March municipal election, and the delegate meetings will beheld in a few days. The election is one of considerable impor tance, in a political point of view, there being a mayor, city marshal, three members of council from each ward, three constables, solicitor, treasurer, and three members of the board of educatian, to elect. The two positions which excite the moat attention are those of mayor and marshal. A number of aspirants are already in the field, having announced themselves as candidates. Those for mayor are Paul C. Budd, present incumbent, Eleazer J. Toram, John R Thompson, T. M. K. Lee, Esq., L. Repshur, and a number of others. For the marshal ship are named, John W. Campbell, present incumbent, James C. Sloan and others. There are an equal number of aspirants for the other positions, and as the Union Party are largely in the ascendant in Camden there is little doubt but that whoever the conventions fix on as their candidates, will be triumphantly elected. CorFrcrstmn.—Yesterday the nomination of George S. Woodhull, Esq., of Camden, was confirmed by the Senate as Associate Judge for the Camden Circuit. Mr. Wood hull is an eminent lawyer, and in every way qualified to discharge the duties of that po sition, and as three-fourths of the criminal business originates in Camden, it is advan tageous that the city should have a resident Judge. THE TexEs.—The delinquent taxpayers who have not paid attention to the notices of the special collectors, and still continue to delay the payment oitaxes, will soon be visited by said officers armed with authority to make the amounts assessed against them out of their goods and chattels. They had better attend to the matter at once. DIED Priors Exposures.—A,Tew days sinee Justice Pierson,of .Marlton, held an inquest on the body of a man named John Newman, who was found dead in the woods near his residence. The jury returned a verdict that he came to his death from intemperance. He resided in the vicinity of Braddock's Mills. AIITCSMIENTS. THE CHESTNUT.—"BIack Mail ; or, the Hour of Ten," will only be given thrice, including the matinee to-morrow. Next week we are to have a superb dramatization of Af - As Braddon's novel of "The Outcasts," the name being changed to that of the hero, "Henry Dunbar." It will be remembered that a few days since we published a most amusing burlesque on this thrilling story. We have no doubt that it will be xt great success at the Chestnut, as Manager Sinn will bring it out. THE WALNUT.—For Clarke's benefit this evening he appears as Dr.Pangloss, in "The Heir at Law," and as Dicky Sharp, in the new comedietta of "Dicky's Wooing." "Robinson Crusoe" will also be played. Those who wish seats should secure them early, as they will be at a decided premium at a very early hour. On Saturday after noon Clarke appears with the entire com pany at a matinee for a patriotic object. THE ARCH.—We have rarely seen "Mac beth" so well performed as it was last night by Mrs. Waller, supported by Mr. Waller. The personation of Lady Macbeth by Mrs. W. was powerful, gracefal and discrimi nating, and no intelligent auditor could fail to be delighted with it. The mingling of feminine feeling with intellectual strength was truly great. Mr. Waller's Macbeth was also a very able performance and gave very. general satisfaction to the entire house. This evening - Mrs. Waller appears for her benefit as Meg Merriles, in Guy Mannering." This is said to be one of her most powerful impersonationg.

In our classes we have stood, And our recitations made, o we're learning every day more and more, But sometimes we weary grow, And indeed, almost dismay'd! Till we hear the cry of victory, lessons o'er! Tramp! tramp! tramp! we boys, &c. Then in order we all wait, Till the signal for our play; And the Teacher opens wide the School room door, Ten the weary eye grows bright, And the heart of childhood gas ! When we shout the cry of victory lessons o'er." A Horrible Tragedy In Florida. The most heartrending occurrence we have ever been called upon to chronicle, says a Georgia paper, took place at Monti cello, on the 9th ult. A young lady of ed ucation and refinement has been gradually losing her mind. On Tuesday night, at about ten o'clock, she retired to her room. An hour later. a youth who was boarding in the same house, having occasion to pass by the lady's door, heard her offering up to the Throne of Grace an unusually fervent prayer; and pausing to listen, imagined he smelt burning rags. Immediately notify ing the gentlemen of the honse, the family rushed to the door of the young lady's room and being unable to effect an entrance burst the door open; when, oh! horror of horrors! there sat the maniac in the centre of a feather bed enveloped in the flames, while, with hands clasped together, she petitioned the God of heaven and earth. Upon entering the room the rescuers heard a voice, in tones of rapture, issue from the flames: "Oh! ain't this glorious? Ain't I a martyr?" The fire was promptly extinguished, when it was found the poor lady must have been burning for some time; for from her waist down every vestige of clothing was destroyed, notwithstanding she - was dressed in heavy woolen fabri, and had on a broad cloth cloak. The character of clothing she wore was all that protected the upper por tion of her body. The flesh upon the lower portion of her body and limbs was actually baked brown, and notwithstanding, we are assured she did not appear to suffer pain. She was conveyed to her home, and by this time doubtless has passed to that land where the weary find rest. From all the circum stances attending this truly lamentable tragedy, it is evident the unfortunate maniac premeditated her own destruction. She moved all her clothing from her own home, destroyed her ambrotypes and letters, and after all was ready, set fire to her clothing (hanging in a wardrobe in her room), and then deliberately igniting herself, jumped into bed. Wreck of the British Bark Jenny. SAVANNAH, Ga„ Feb.
