CITY BULLETIN. A IIEPOKTOKiAr. Sketch.—Tile list of the dccrawd unembera of the newspaper press of Philadel phials poblishodin the Evening Bullkti'n a Tew days since, brings vividly,to llin memory some of (lie reporto rlnl affairs happening nearly a quarter of a century ago. Some of these would probably prove interesting, because they would show the difference botwoou profes sional reporting then and now. At the timo reportiiig vis in its infancy In this city many of the reports fur - nfehed to the papers wore simply efforts o f the imagina tion, That individual who coold clothe fiction in the garb, of apparent truth was generally esteemed as a valuable acquisition toll newspaper He was uni versally regarded as üblqnitons. He, with a few dashes «f hi* pen, could astound the residents of different lo calities,' fairly confound the “Charlies” (night watch), apd cause the Mayor of tho city to dcliror lectures on vigilance while the reporter would he present taking down tho speech to be served up in tho edition of tho pa per oh tho following day. Such articles os theso'wero well written. Talent of a peculiar character was posi tively required to win success’: This kind ofroporting was practised for several months, and as "noother paper t had the nows” besides the one the - indcfatigablo re porter was connected with, there was ntoro or loss fault findlhg on the part »)f the proprietors of those papors that were behind in publishing the important items, No one dreamed that all this kind of reporting was simply imagination. Public Ledeerh&ti boon often “jgitliiMi,” but] the, public in those days considered tho paper entirely re liable, and the counterfeited items passed very well for genuine. This, of course, was Biniply the result of con fidence, based upon first impressions, and those improa sions are even lasting to the present time. The publish ed!, however, did not like to soo their paper behind the : Daily Chroniele, the Daily Forum , or tho Spirit of the Times, so far as local news was concerned. Imagina tion was locally developed in these papors to an extent that has never been exceeded. Tho Ledger woe evidently goiug behind, day after day, and tho “Patriarch" to whom was Intrusted the local department passed mony Sleepless nights in consequence thcroo f. Finally ho hit on a very happy expedient to ease his mind. Ho employed ' tho Imaginative repoitcr to work up for tho Ledger a eortaln class of items, particularly burglaries and robberies. Tho indi vidual thus employed proceeded to the Public School Controllers’ room, in the oast 'wringof tho State House, where there wore plenty of pens, ink nnd paper, and he spread himself for the contest. In about one hour be had written up three burglaries, two highway robborles, one desperate conflict with robbers, one or two cases of incendiarism, and a shocking attempt to commit suicide. The next morning the Ledger was the only paper which hadthenewß. The Patriarch was highly pleased, and the proprietors commended him for his promptitude, ac tivity and fidelity. Tho Ledger bad distanced all com petitors. But this little stream of the sunlight of suc cess was doomod to bo darkened by a storm of excite ment and indignation. Most of thoscenes ub pictured by the reporter were locatod in tho vicinityjof Beach,Chest nut, Walnut and Spruce streets, fronting on the Sohuyl- Mayor had, withgreat alarm, perused the itemß, the Ledger being served at his residence, and without waiting to take his breakfast, he hastened to tho office and summoned the Captains of the Watch to appear forthwith, at the City Hall, Fifth and Chostnut streets. His Honor addressed them in plain terms, Buch as could not he misunderstood. He spoke of tho apparent in crease of crime in the ” city rropor,” and aaid that the city expected the nightly guardians of the people to bo extremely vigilant in the protection of life and property. The Captains of the Watch of the “ infected ” section said thoy had read tho accounts of tho robberies and burglaries, npd hud suspended the man wlio had been assigned to do duty in tho localities where it was alleged tho crime had been committed. Soyeral members of tho City Councils, among them tho Chairman of the Police Committee, awaited upon the Mayor to ascertain what moiienree might, be necessary to stop this “ appalling in crease of crime.” Thus things remained until a iate hour in the day, nnd on tho following morning an official report was made to the Mayor that there was not a particle of truth in the published items. Itnmy bo needless to add that theser vices of the reporter were speedily dispensed with, ne was in reality a yonng roan of rare' genius, wroto very fast, could “ round u period r very gracefully, aud was exceedingly sensitive. He finally committed snicido. Synod of the Kbformed Chubciiop thf. United Siatks— I Third Day.— The members of the Synod reassembled this morning in large numbers in the Church on Green street, near Sixteenth. The body was called to order by the President, Kov. K.

'''' The Committee on Overtures made their report througli the Chairman, Bov. Dr. Willard. The report was received and taken up item by item The first item was the report of the Committee on Cor respondence in Italy. On motion it was ordered to lay on the table until it comes up for general discussion before the Synod. The complaint brought before the committee in relation to the case of Ilev. Dr.Bombcrger, respecting tho action of the Eastern Synod at Danville, was then brought before tho Synod for their considera tion. The Moderator decided ontoforderanydiscusßion of supposed point gontained in the complaint. After a long discussion n motion to refer the matter under dis cussion to a special committee was made. • The motion wus lost and the matter was laid on the table. A communication from the Hev.

Longevity.— Philadelphia af- Clerical, fords a remarkable number of illuatratfons or clerical i longevity and fidelity to winglo fields of labor. Admitting his present congregation in Broftd street tobctheHam* 911'e h** proaobed to at the “Duiiran*’ Church, in Tliir* trenth street, the Rev.\ .Tohn Chambers . heads the list of Philadelphia clergymen oc cupying a binglucharge.

Dr. Suddards entors upon the thirty-sixth year of a» unbrokeu pastorate at Grace Church. These instances of clerical longevity indicate a remarkable decree of stability of purpose and ability to till their positions on the part*of these revered gen tlemen, and also an equally remarkable degree of har mony and good feeling among the members of their re spective congregations.

A silver watch, a gold ring, a gold lead-pencil and $l2O in currency were stolen from one of the upper rooms. ■' • ] House Eobheky.—Tho dwelling ox -rs. Keating, No. 2605 Federal street, was entered by break ing in aback window, about one o’clock this morning, and was robbed of two cages containing birds. Found OrEN.—Among the reports of houses fonnd open,last night, were seventeen in the FirritDis trict and seven in the Sixteenth District. Some men arc controlled by circumstances ; other meft, with a masterly hand, controlcircumstnuecs themselveH. The one clam are over at tho mercy o' every adverse wind that blows across their path ; the other so Bpread their ca'nvns and order their craft that even the Beemingly unfavorable tides are turned to good account and mado to advance them on prosperously. And it is|not when tho sky is clear and the sea calm, but.vben he is in a storm, that the Bailor shows how much of a sailor he is. Everybody is complaining just now of dull business and hard timeß. Instead of the brisk trade and abund ance of money which were expected,we have fallen upon just the reverse. . . . . In this state of affairs one house at least is showing itself equal to tho emergency. We refer to Wanamaker & Brown, our largest clothing dealers. Judging from the immense business they have doDe this fall (their sales amounting for fall goods to over <5400,000); one would suppose they‘had no cause to complain. Nor do they complain; ■ hut, largo as their sales have been, they still aTe loadedlwlth a stock of goods valued, at a low estimate, atncarly half .a million of dol lars. This stock was purchased and prepared under the then prevalent expectation of an unprecedented season. In this, predicament but two courses seem open to them; One, to “carry” all this stock,arippling the resources of the firm and in many ways working to the detriment of tho next season’s trade, or to ooen fer themselves some unusual channel through which to dispose of their goods. They have wisely chosen the latter, and are out to-day in an announcement that, leaving the even tenor of their business way,'they will, on Wednesday of next week, open at their great Oak Hall Buildings n prodigious sale, with prices down to the lowest mark at all consistent with safety, and so low that even the ge neral scarcity of money will be rather an argument for, than an objection against, the purchase of tho wares they offer. Theirs is no extemporized stock, got together from other markets and auctions for tho purpose of a great Bale, hut all this clothing, numbering tens of thou sands of garments, is of their ow'n manufacture,. and • prepared with all care for their ordinary fall and winter trade. . ’ Thus an ill w ind will blow good to some. For many a man has this Fall withheld himself from the purchase of some much-needed garments because of liis unwillingness to put so much money in clothes. Matiy more all over the city and country will feel warranted in some unusual, indulgence in the matter of good clothes, now that they find it for once an inexpensive luxury: It will do ns all good to see at such a time as this a genuine stir like that which wo witnessed once bo fere at Oak Hall, in the Executor ’s Sale of a year ago. Already the people ore beginning to throng the house, and we question not hut that by Monday noon Mr. jWuuamuher will ho persuaded that ho has made a mis take in tho date, and that his sale begins two days before December Ist. The lIOMCEOi’ATinc Fair.—The fair now in progress at Horticultural Hall for thejturpose of se curing money to erect a hospitnl is m every way a great success. Tlie bountiful goods are selling rapidly, and the reserve stock is being brought forwardln such a lively manner that there is a probability of its being closed out entirely by the appointed time. Among the most prominent objects at tho fair is a physician’a chair,which is being voted for. Lost night the. highest number of votes was recotded in favor of a medical gentleman in Chicago. The ladies are extremely anxious that tho friends of prominent Philadelphia pbysiciauß should rally to theirsupport and keep thechair in this city. Let every man and woman who feels an interest in the mat ter attend and casta vote. This is one of the occasions when women con vote,and can carry the day if they choose to make an effort. Tiik Star Course ok Lectures.—On Mon day night next, at the Academy of Music, the Star Course of Lectures will be resumed. Hon.S. S. Cox will lccttfte upon “Progress in Spain,” a subject for tho proper consideration of which he is well fitted, having spent u large portion of his time, while in Europe,, n Spain, in close contact with the people and with tho lead ers in the reeeut revolution. After Mr. Cox will come Senator Sumuer, who, on 'Wednesday night, will deliver his great discourse on “Castound then Bov. Bobert Collyer with a lecture on "Clear Grit.” We are glad to learn that the sale of tickets lor these entertainments has already been very large. They are of the highest and test kind, and they deserve the heayty support of our people. , Earles’ New Art Building.—The build ing, N 0.816 Chestnut street, which was occupied by by James 8. Earle & Sons at the time of its' destruction by fire, has been reconstructed in a very substantial and ornate manner, and is now completed, re-stocked and ready for business. On next Monday the Messrs. Earle will again take possession, and will have on exhibition their immense collection of new and fresh styles of look ing-glasses, picture frames, engravings, paintings, chroinos, &e., lato importations received since the tire occnrred. , A New Pastor.—The Rev.
