CITY BULLETIN. Weer Perix.atompare.—The rain storm . last night, in the western wards, was posi tively grand. The lightning flashing al most without intermission, and the , sough . ing of the winds, with the rushing rain, for it descended in perfect torrents, made the night one of unusual excitement. After the magnificent baptism everything looks green 5, as june ought always to look. At the -, Police Station this morning we made a descent on an embryo Base Ball Club, to• be formed out of the fine corps of officers officiating' in our district. 'They have not yet decid,ed on its name, but when once in the field it will make its mark. There Vere 'two cases of vagrancy, includ ing the insane man arrested yesterday on Thirty-fifth street, .near Powelton avenue. He was sent to ;prison, to be transmitted, thence, of course, to thelnsane Department of the Almshouse. His name 'was David Raocht. There were three cases of breach of . the imace, all committed. One affair, of false pretences, was heard, last evening about 6 o'clock. The defendant's name was Florence Scam mell, hailing from New York. The prose cutor was Mr. Benjamin Skein, of Thirty ninth and Market streets. The offence con sisted in obtaining four horses, two of which he pretended to wish to take and leave two behind. This didn't suit Mr. Skein's busi ness views, and Alderman Allen held our speculative customer in two, to answer at The Berean Baptist Church holds its Sab bath SchoOl anniversary this evening, and it will no doubt prove a fine affair. The fair of Rev. J. G. Butler's Presby . terian, Church, on Walnut street above Thirty-ninth, is fully up to the anticipations of its projectors. Last night nearly $1;000 had been realized from the sale of goods. THE OltemurrzioN.—.This is the name of a musical instrument recently invented and manufacture& by M. Welts tt Sons, of Baden. A• number of these instruments have been sent to Russia, several are in use in England, one is in operation in New • York, and'one has just been put up in this city. A trial of the latter was made at Ladner's Military Hall, No. 532 North Third street, yesterday afternoon. The instru ment consists of a beautifully finished case < ; ofwalnut, 12 feet in height, contains about 500 pipes, which represent, most faithfully, nearly all the orchestral instruments, such as violins, flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, v. - trumpets, horns, trombones, etc. These pipes are placed above and around the most delicate Machinery, which, together with the cylinder is visible through the glass doors. This cylinder contains the "tune" and being put in motion by a gentle pres sman on a spring and supplied with power and the necessary wind by a weight of 400 pounds, the orchestra performs the grandest overtures, selections from operas, dance and national music, which require from 8 to 10 minutes' time. This is effected by the spiral motion of the cylinder, which makes eight revolutions at the rate of one minute each. A regulator controls the movement/ of every piece, and an arrangement simiMr to the "swell" in church organs secures a perfect expression. The Repertoire may be • increased at pleasure, the manufacturer supplying the cylinders to order. The trial yesterday 'afternoon was very successful. For churches, parlors, drawing-rooms, and small concert saloons the orchestrion is well • adapted.
