.. Ouu New. School-Houses.— Much shill and
care In defining and constructing Uave, been,
taken in -the erection of our public school;
houses, within the past ten yeats.Sp that Phila
delphia can, in this respect,
of suneriorityoverany cityW the. united
States. Tlio school-house nowbeing-erectod
on the site of the Commiasioners’ Hall of the
oldDistrlct of Northern Liberties, Thirdstreet,
below Green,' will be one •: of the;; finest yet,
erected. The foundation is being constructed.
The building will have a front of fifty feet, a
depth of ninety feet, and bo three stories in
height. There will bo three wings; to the
structure, allowing very easy facilities for
egress and ingress. . ' . , ,
Another substantial school-house is ■ being
built on the N. 13. coiner of Shippen and
Guilford streets. It will be 48 ieet square,
having: two stories j each 12 feet in height in
the cleat, between the floors and the coilings.
’.A.public school-house, to be two: stories in
height, has just been commenced at the corner
of Main and Coulter streets, Germantown,
Twenty-second Ward. The sttucturo will be
40feetfroritby CGfeetin depth, and will be
•” flnished and ready for occupation- before
the close of tbe,ensuing autumn. 1
■ Cruebty to Animals.—The Society for the
Proyontion of Cruelty to Animals is bo young
in existence that it is yet an experiment, al
though it large hmount of good has. been done
through its, agents. Frequently, however,
articles appearin' newspapers complaining of
this; thing or that in connection with this sub
ject. If the complainants would call upon the;
agents or the offic era of tlie Society,and furnish
legal evidence of any infraction of the law, in
stead of rushing to newspapers to file their
complaints, much more good would ensue, and
there would be no more published complaints,
two-thirds of which often do more harm than
good. .- One thing, is certain—the lame horses
which often appeared upon the public streets,
particularly in the southern part of the city,
have entirelydisappcared from view. In this
respect the Society has worked a reformation
entirely commendable.
Additional Improvement.—An addition
to t.ho .immense sugar refinery is being erected
on the north; side of Almond street, from
Delaware avenue westward to' the extent -of
190 feet, by a front of 31 feet. The site upon
which thlß additional structure is being erected
caused much dispute several years ago, and'
required legislative action before it; could be.
awarded to the use to which it is appropriated.
The sugar refinery had no outlet on Almond,
street before thiß strip of ground was pur
chased by the proprietors. The refinery is one
of the largest in the country; and in the de
partment of manufactures ono of the most im-
Eortant in Philadelphia. Many thousands of
ogsheads of unrefined sugar are landed upon
its wharves during the year, and many work
men'of several classes find employment there.
Bobbing a Countryman.—A German, be
longing to Doylestown, came to the ,city yes
terday afternoon. He fell in with Charles
M conan, and asked him where he could get a
cheap lodging-place. Meenan reconiinended
him to sleep m a wagon which was standing
on Second street above Fitter. The stranger
adopted the suggestion. After he had fixed
himself, for a snooze he felt a hand in his
pocket, and found that it belonged to Meenan.
The matter was amicably arranged, however,
and the Doylestown man went to sleep. “When
he awoke his coat was missing, and he swore
out a warrant for the arrest of Meenan upon
the charge of larceny. The accused was cap
tured, and after a hearing before Alderman
Heins, was sent to prison.
Campaign Club Formed.—A meeting of
Republican voters of tlie Fourth Legislative
District (which comprises the Seventh Ward
and part of the Twenty-sixth Ward) was held
last evening to ratify the nomination of Joseph
Bready, Esq., as a candidate for the Legisla
ture.A Campaign Club was formed, and the
membership roll was signed by about, one
hundred voters. The following officers were
chosen : President; James Alcorn. Vice Presi
dent, William Gamble. Secretaries, Lewis
Ashmead and, Colonel Enoch Edward Lewis.
Treasurer, Joseph McM orris.
Riotous Conduct.—Henry Burns, a sailor
belonging to the United States Navy, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon for riotous conduct
at Smith's Island. He was also charged with
having Committed a violent assault and bat
tery oh L. B. Cliadd, a special officer stationed
on the Island.. On the way to the city Burns
jumped into the river and swam ashore, but
was Captured when he had landed. This morn
ing he had a hearing before Alderman Kerr,
and was held in $BOO nail to answer the charges
of riot and assault and battery.
The Prohibitory Party.—A call for ameet
ing of delegates, from tie several Wards, to be
held at Concert Hall, August 471869, “for/ the
purpose of completing the organization of the
Prohibitory Party, and nominating candidates
for the city offices,”' has been issued. This
call is ffigned by I. Newton Peirce, Amos
Briggs, J 7 C.' Garrigues, Enoch C. Hendry,
George Gabel, George H. Hick, William B.
Stiles, E.' W. Bmitheman,' George S. Ferguson
and S. 8, Ketcham, as Committee of Arrange
ments 7 " /'■ ; 7 l ;' 7 ‘ '/

.. . way—Successfully Resists the Attempt
of Several: Men -to Arrest Him, and
' Mabo One or Them. .. .
William Buck was mdrdered at Succasunna’
Plains,! New Jersey, on Friday, night last,
under most singular circumstances, by a lunatic
named John Bruen. It appears that Bruen
had for several years been periodically insane
in the heated weather of summer, and
that at these times his conduct had
been imcohtrollabljr . violent. . On Eriday,
morning last he left his. home in Madison,
while suffering under one Of . fits attacks or
insanity, antf took passage by the mail
train on tlic Morris and Essex Railroad to
Hackettotowp. The conductor .of the train,
before it arrived at MadlutSn* discovered that
Bruen had neither money nor a ticket, and he
put him oft the train at the Morristown depot.
Bruen rushed frantically through the depot,
and, as if determined to have a ride in soma
eort of conveyance, jumped into the mail
wagon, which was standing near the denot.
and drove away. He was lamiliar with ti.n
town and drove directly to the
where he threw out the mail-hags. He then
started drive away againj hut the crowd
who Bitrroundod; thev.J?optt<!;Pc« ?cl9 or i seeing
that lie was not the regular- carrier, and,no?
ticing his excited conduct, attoinpted'tojrirest
' him.: But he escaped after a determined (ttrug
i gle, and ran out on the road leading-to Succa
snnn»P)ains. ' _ 7 ‘ •
• Toward evening Mr. Robert Slutyr, the sta
’ Mon agent of the Chester Railroad at Sue,
; casuiina Plains, was driving ' toward the sta
• tion, accompanied by his wife, on his return
from Morristown, when he was suddenly
; overtaken by young Brhen. - The- lunatic came
stealthily up behind the wagon and leaping
: info tliebox attempted to climb over the top,
; which was thrown oack. Mr. Shaw, urged on 1
his horse at a desperate rate of 'speed to es
: cape the determined attempts of tho madman
,to climb over into , the forward part of the
wagon, and', struggled, with his assailant to ■
throw him out. He struck Bruen several'
bloWs with the 'butt' of his heavy Whip, "
! hut the latter persisted in his efforts to obtain
, a place in fr ont. The > wagon top - finally gave
way,-and the lunatic fell to the ground. Ar
; rivetf at the village in which he resides; Shaw
i stopped at At hotel, and was relating the cir
cumstances' of his strange adventure on the
; mountain when'young Bruen entered. Shaw
. had ao idea that Brueu. was unsoundj and he.
- opened a dispute with hiin.- Hard words passed
' between them.Bruen stayed’ for some time, :
.; manifesting no intention, of leaving. •• Mr.
; Shaw, after awhile,.quietly left the, hotel and
; repaired to the residence of-a Justieo of tho
Peace. A few moments’ consultation -with
: him resulted in the issuing of a' warrant for
the arrest of Bruen. The constable to whom
the warrant thus issued had been' given im
i mediately went in search of the lunatic; and
,at about 9.30 in the evening came intq contact
with him. An efl'ort was made to arrest him.
: Bruen resist ed with such strength and vigor
, that he for some time baffled the united ex
ertions of the half dozen men who contended
against him. A long and desperate struggle,
however, resulted in his. fall. His cap
; tors now madean - effort to tie : lus
hands. . 'While preparations ■; were.
.in progress he succeeded in wresting .himself,,
from the grasp of those who held him down,
I and sprang to his feet. Almost simultaneously
with Ids nse from tho ground he drew a long ;
jack-knife from his pocket and threatened to
stab the first .man'who should again Attempt
,to put hands Upon. him. The fierce'' firmness
which his words and manner bespoke intimi
dated his captors', ana no second attempt was
made to take him into Custody. When Bruen
seemed to have satisfied himself that his threat
; had accomplished its intended’intimidation he
turned on his heel and walked deliberately
away., .
He had not proceeded many steps before a
young man ongageffin his father’s store near
by, named Wm. Buck, stepped out upon the
road, and with the evident intention of assist
ing in his arrest, walked rapidly toward the
retreating man. When he had got almost up
with him, Bruen turned suddenly about and
buried the long blade of his jack-knife into the :
breast of his pursuer. The stabbed man re
treated a few paces, crying “he has stabbed
; me;” then fell. Those who had attempted but
unsuccessfillly to arrest Bruen, lifted his pros
trate victim from the ground and carried him
Into his father’s house.
The news of the fatal encounter spread like
wildfire among the people of the neighbor
hood. A consultation was held and a number
; of the best men sent in pursuit of the savage
lunatic. These soon encountered him. An
attempt was made to capture him, a fearful
struggle ensued, and it was not until he had,
been knocked down three times with a
bludgeon, that his capture was effected. He
i was taken to Morristown and committed to
jail. ' '
In the meanwhile young Buck was sinking
■ rapidly. At eleven o’clock he lost the power
;of speech. In two hours and a half afterwards,
during which he- suffered unutterable agony,
he was a corpse.
The affair has created .a feeling of profound
sorrow in the places where the lunatic and his
victim resided.
Scotched Them.—Daft Jamie was a. well
known character in the city of Edinburgh forty
years ago. As his sobriquet implies, he was
crazy, but tlie crack in his skull let in sufficient
light to enable him to run on errands and carry
; letters for those who might employ him. The
> poor harmless lad'was the last victim of the in
; famous, Burke and Hare, and it was by his
death that the long series of murders by those
’/wretches was brought to light;
. One cold winter day Jamie delivered a letter
to Bailie and: waited, at the office door
while the clerk was pieparing a reply. :
.“Weel, Jamie, my mon,”said the official,
“ how’s a’ wi’ ye ?” .
“Na that gude, Bailie; I had an unco bad
dream last nicht.”
“ And what might it be about ?” queried the
Bailie, as he stood with his back to the blazing
hearth, regarding with easy indifference the
shivering .messenger.
: ■ “ Deed then, Bailie: I just thocht I was in
hell.”
“So! And what sort of a place did you find
it, laddie?” .......
