The deercaee’in tho gross earnings is attributed
to the Company's being deprived of an oxtraordi
iW lncome which served to sweU the

of tom previous year, viz: the two of the
Company’s track in West Philadclphiaby the
Pomievlvania Railroad Company, amounting in
those months to $18,113 45. this will detnon-
Htrate that thero has really been an increasoof
the rarular business of tho road of $11,688 04, of
which increase $3,624 19 were derived from the
business of tho Philadelphia and Baltimore Cen
tral Railroad. Of the heavy decrease of ope
rating expenses, the sum or $39,650 26 was .in
the Item of repairing bridges and treaties, inclu
ding inspecting, watching and insurance, leaving

increase, of net earnings, therefore, from toe re
gular business of toe road, over and above that

waa $6,622 69.
Notwithstanding the large increase in toe net
earnihgs, there has been an increase of debt (less
cash on hand) of $24,125 32. This was mainly

ment charges, amounting, in toe aggravate, to

RcsAWAy.—A pair of horses attached to a
large wagon, loaded with empty barrels, became
frightened at a passing railway cor, at Twenty
third andChcatnut shrcete, thls morning about'
hall-past , nine o'clock, and dashed off down
Chestnut street at a fearful rate. The barrels
were scattered about In all directions. A milk
wagon, which happened to be in thh way of the
runaways, was demolished, and a brown stone
hitching post was broken and dashed up on to
atbe sidewalk. The horses were, finally stopped
at Fifteenth street, wlthont having done any lor
dlier damage. Several persons made harrow es
capes, but none wereinjured.
Snorumso.—Eliza Burk was In! a store
at Broad and Booth streets on Saturday evening,
aod: after she left two pieces of calico were
missed She was pursued and captured, and then
dropped the stolen goods. Eliza had a hearing
Before Alderman MCpk, and was held in sBt>o bail
to answer at Court. '
Snow, Rain, Blush and cold
weather of Saturday continued until an early
hour yesterday morning, when there was a con
siderable fall of snow. About nine o’clock this
was succeeded by rain.. The mercuwlu tte ther
mometer bad ascended rapidly, and a general
thaw commenced.'This put ihe street# in,a horri
ble condition. The snow was washedfrom taeniae*
walks, and the rain froze as it fell. Of course the
pavements soon became very slippery, and it
was almost Impossible to stand up. The high
banks of enow m the. carriage ways were; con
verted into slnsh, which was too deep to walk In,
while the space between the rail way tracks bore
the appearance of small creeks. In some places
where there was a depression Inthe streets, the
waterwasnearlythreeieetdeep between the tracks.
Pedestrinnism therefore Was not only exceedingly
disagreeable, but was attended with much danger.
Buen a quiet Sunday as yesterday Was has not
been experienced in this city for a long time.
Very few people wore upon*the streets, and even
the passenger railway care were almost entirely
deserted.
Fortunately the inlets had been kept pretty well
opened by Mr. Henry Blckley, the street con
tractor, or there would have been a great over
flow of the sidewalks, a flooding of cellars, and
consequently much damage to property. In sev
eral localities about the city where the ground is
low the cellar# were flooded, but os the overflow
woe anticipated all perishable articles had previ
ously been removed.
All day the thaw continued, and there, was
rattling of lee through'the tin water-pipes, and
the sliding of snow from house-tops. It was
feared that the Ice in the Schuylkill would be
broken, aod there would be a freshot. About mid
night the wind changed and the weather became
cold again', about as suddenly as K had changed
early in the morning. To-day everything fe fro
zen up again. As the .pldewalks are generally
covered with Ice, our 'citizens should remember
that coal-ashes judiciously sprinkled not only
improves the walking, but may save many a bro
ken limb or a painful bruiße.

. Common Bbnse—Are human beings silly
euoaghto bawl, bellow, scream, yell, groan, or grout
with pain or torment, when they can, free of expense,
have all pain, of any name or nature. Instantly. re
moved ? Will they pay dollar after dollar to doctors,
and yet constantly sutler misery f We know better,
and fact* prove to the contrary. Dr. Wolcott’s office
is crowded with patients, at No. 170 Chatham square,
New York, and 622 Arch street, Phllada., from sunrise
till 9 o'clock at night. ’ The doctor accepts of pay born
no person; yet, With his miraculous remedy,Pain Paint,
he gives a roll release from pain instantly. Thousands
of helpless. l hopeless Invalids send to the druggists for
the Pain Paint, apd thus, at their quiet homes, apply
the liquid. Druggists are apt to urge off and sell the
small 25-cent bottles, if possible, when they know that
for all long-standing and chronic ailments the patleat
ought to have the large size or $5 bottles. The large
bottles hold eight of the dollar bottles. Get the large
bottles, or send lo the Doctor's office for them.
But the doctor has another remedy which has been
established and Is In fact the only real standard medi
cine for Catarrh; it is the Instant Fain Annlhilator.
Over 100,000 bottles are sold each mouth,. Over &000
signatures from medical men of the highest standing
attest its virtues. The doctor says that more than one
third of the entire population are victims to this loath-
Bome disease of the head. Catarrh he affirms to be an
ulceratlon'of the head. Thephlegm anti matter irom
this filthy sore drops In the throat, and causes the pa
tient tohawk uni spit, and at night, while asleep, It
steals down the throat into the stomach. And in the
morning the patient finds his stomach chocked np with
the phlegm and matter that fall Into his throat while
asleep, and endeavors to clear his throat of the nau
seating mucous, But it shortly undermines the con
stitution, finally ending In consumption. Bronchitis
is the legitimate child of catarrh in every instance.
Troches and all palliatives cannot In any case'reach
tho fountain. In the head, where the polluted, fester- >
ing, corrosive pus Or matter issues. Snuff or dust of
any manufacture aggravates, and never, never cures
this disease.
A sneeze is nature’s emphatic No, always, and la
produced in cemsequence of ah irritation or the mem
branes of the head. Nature epeake out loud and Bays
No at every sneeze. She also opens the water ducts
and fioodß the nostrils with water to drown ont the In
truder, just as the ducts of the eye are open when dost
afflicts that organ. Taking enuff wUI produce ca
tarrh. Doctors in general know hardly anything
about or understand this universal complaint. Ca
tarrh, and they are honest enough to admit It. The pa
tient feela dull, heavy, stupid, and sleepy; having sel
dom any pain, hlB fears are not aroused until perhaps
too late. - - -
He catches cold constantly in'the head, sometimes
running at the nostrils, eyes often weak, nostrils in
flamed, breath sometimes reveals to bis neighbors the
corruption within, while the patient baa often lost the
seme of smell. -The diiease-advances cautiously,
while ringing noises in the bead, or deafhess, ensue.
Pain, in the chest, longs, or bowels startle him; hacks
and coughs, has dyspepsia, thinks he has liver com
plaint, wants to take a blood ptirlflef, or cod ltvqroll.
