M ago used to glean items.. r, Milby watt a "wag." -Having Kohl - one of the young re porters by relating the adventuroa elaborate that sprang through the bulk, window of a dry-good* store, the "knight of the quill" defied him to do so again. Many attempts' were' mettle, but the reporter was fibrins% OD the tad vine; finally ho watt Mostbeautifully void. upon going into the cigar store on. an afternoon, he obseryed by the faro, of Mr. lllilby that, this gentla• man Was roue& tolerated at something. He Was . worried. .110 aipared 6 have been shedding tears. .He could not ~atteed to bestnees. '"Oh," says he to the rottener, "I have mot with 'great afflictlon. My little son ,has been almost killed by tne,.L..poor little follow is dying." Here the tears started in the oyes of the disconsolate He directed the reporter to go into the adjoin ing room and see for himself. Ho did so, There lay the little boy on the settee. His facto was yellow as saffron. 'Ho appeared to breathe freely, although,to the eye of the reporter, helookad as if he were passing away to that "undiscovered country whence no traveler returns." The reporter came into the shop and learned the par• t iculars of the mishap. It seemed Oaten Motley before 'the little fellow, being sleepy, laid himself down in the bottom of a tobacco-press, in the cellar, and fell asleep. Mr, Dliltiy shortly after proceeded to the cellar and put a considerable quantity of loaf tobacco in the press and screwed it down, not knowing his child was underneath it,. Some time after this.the little fellow was missed,and the family became' alarmed et his absence. Thethell- Man wasproeured, and a "lost child" was proclaimed at the street corners. The neighbors, sympathizing with the afflicted family, rendered all the assistance in their power, but the child could not be found. It was not un til the next morning the discovery was made. Mr. Milby, upon uncovering the press,yemoved the tobacco, and, to his horror,he savihis little boy coiled up and ap parently dead. There he had been, tightly. imprisoned, , from throe o'clock the afternoon before until nine o'clock on the following morning. This story, absurd as It is, really was believed by the reporter, for he bad seen the boy stretched out on the settee, and his sallow condition was proof enough at the time of the effects of tobacco juice. The Ledger,on the following morning, contained an interesting item, in which the reporter very neatly introduced it story of a tobacco worm:" There was not a word of truth in the affair. Mr. Milby, finding his little boy to tie very sleepy, saturated his face with the juice of the weed, and then laid him down to sleep, Shortly before the usual time for the reporter to arrive. This was considered to be one of the rarest jokes of that period, and was the sub ject of much merriment for several months. THE COMMERCIAL EXCHANGE ASSOCIA TION—A NEW PLACE Ot MEiVrtl'id.—Tlie members of the Commercial Exchange A seociation held an ad journed meeting, at the store of J. H. Michener A: Co., Arch street, this morning,to hear the report °fine Com mittee appointed to secure a room for the transac tion of business until the Chamber of Commerce is rc- erected. - • • Mr. J. H. Mehemet, President, called the meeting to order, nd announced that he had several documents which he would like to have read. Mr. Gm. G. Pierie, Aesietant 'Secretary, - then road a telegraphic despatch and a letter from Hon. A. G. Cot tell, expressing his regret at the destruction of the beau tiful building. Also a letter from Harrison Smith, Secretary of the,Drug Exchange. tendering the use of their room. Mr. Hoffman then moved that the thauks of this AS:io dation he tendered to, the Drug Exchange for their kind offer. Agreed to. Mr.lloftnimi, Chairman of the Ceminittee appointed yesterday, then submitted the following report : The committee appointed by you to examine the rooms teridensi.to the Association by the Board'Of Brokers, Tobacco Trade, Merchants' Exchange and Drug Ex change, beg leave to report that they have attended to the carne, and find the room of the Board of Brokers to be the hest suited for the business of this Association. As the hall of the Chamber of Commerce will not be completed much before 8 or 9 months, your cotiunittee, did not feel like accepting the room without payfng rent, andtherefore desired the Board of Brokers to name a sum as rent, and received in reply a preposition of $lOO per month. The Committee would therefore ask the adoption of the following: Resolved, That the Board of Managers be directed to rent the room of the Board of Broke' e, No. 411 Walnut street, et the rate of It per month, and that they take immediate steps to have the Hanle put in order for the meetings (Attie Association. General W. B. Thomas thought that sonie of therooms en the lower floor of the Chamber of Commerce building might be inn condition to be need, and asked if the com mittee had examined them.. Mr.llinchinan,President of the Chamber of Commerce, said that the walls are saturated with water, the coinage will have to be taken down, and a temporary roof could not he put on while rebuilding Mr. Michener said that after a consultation with builders and practical mechanics, he was uncertain how much of the walls can be used in rebuilding. The resolution submitted by the committee wan thou adopted. Adjourned. SPRUCE AND PINE:—The Spruce' and Pine Streets Railway is now, probably, the most uncomforta ble and worst-managed road in Philadelphia. Not only has the badly-applied Slawson fare box driven many people from the cars of this lino, and many others to the verge of despair from the inconvenience and discomfort attending the bad-management of this "improvement," but the general conduct of the road appears to be of the most slovenly, ship-shod character imaginable. The last specimen that has come under our notice occurred day before yesterday. Our reporter got into a car it the Twenty-second street depot, in company with a number of gentle Men a nd ladies, all in o hurry to get down town. The day was cold, and the hour was the early afternoofr. Five ten, fifteen minutes passed, and there was no sign of a start. At last the driver made his appearance, munch ing the last mouthful of his dinner, for which the impa tient p as sengers now found they had been waiting. The ear started at a walk, and slowly poked down Spruce street. The fares were passed into the "Slawson,” but the applications at the "change gate - produced no change iu the gait of the miserable steeds. After some eouaree of this apology for railway travel, a feeble at tempt at a trot was made with very partial success. At Seventeenth street, Jelin opened the front door and re !marked in a gruff voice : " Better not let any mire people in there. These here bosses is balky, Mad they won't pull no tnore; , After this admonition this, '• Lightning Express•' re sumed its headlong way. until it reached Fifteenth street, when the horses calmly stopped. and declined to go any . fierther. Jehu appeared to he quite accustomed to their playful ways, and opening the door and making his rei etelice to the •• Slaw - son," lie incited the paeseniters to get out' and walk the nest of the way, ussiirMg them that " them horses IS balky, and the Company Lain 't got 13. others, and Giere's no .use. fur you to wail, aud nuty 's well git out.' So the unfortunate victims of an un managed street railway, having paid their rarer, alighted in the muddy street, and walked home, thoroughly con vinced that there was a good deal more pine than spruce about the style of that particular " public convenience." How WAtimNoToN WAS D ISFMILIZED —Per muim who pas —d along Chestnut street, in front of bide- Pendency BA, hi morning, notieod n disfigurement of the brautilnl etatue of. Weehington.

THIEVES CArkUlt.ll3l.7—.tiellryWtllolllo and Edward McCaffrey were before Alderman Kerr this morning, upon the charge of attempting to enter the house of Howard J. Potts, No. 2137 Summer street. A key was put into a lock on the door yesterday morning. and a young man who happened to he in the entry at the time seized the key. The d4endants then ran away,and were captured. One of them had a stone-cutter's drill, which fitted certain marks on the shutter of Mr. Potts' house. Saniuel M. Fox charged the prisoners with hay ing broken into a city tool honse, at Twenty-first and Tower streets, and stolen therefrom two pigs of lead.

He was taken to the residenoe of his sister, Federal Street, above Sixth. SLIPPERY: VAVEMENTR.—Pedestrianism was quite difficult and dangerous this morning. The snow which remained ou - the sidewalks was frozen hard and was very slippery. If housekeepers will scatter ashes over the frozen surface, they will do a benevolent act. and perhaps save many broken limbs or. bruised bodies. LARczNy.—August Wolf wax arrested; by Policeman Spence, of the Eighth District, upon the charge of the larceny of a bridle from a stable at Second and Oxford • streets. Ile was committed by Alderman RESCUED FROM DEOWNING.—AII unknown man, about Gn years' of age, fell, into the Delaware, at Pine street wharf, about two o'clock this morning, but was rescued from drowning by Policeman Phelati, of the Third District.

FOITND OPEN —Seven stores in the Sixth Ward werofound open by the police during fait. night. AT THE TOY.-- , 3iessiS. J. W. SCOtt „ the well-known dealers in gentlemen's furnishing goods, No. 511 Chestnut street, have fitted up their store —injured by the recent tire—in a most elegant manner, so that it is now one of the finest establishments of the kind in this country. In the, size. variety and cheap 110R4 of their stock of goods. also, they can rival any of their competitors. Their specialty is shirt-making ; and whether a man wants a fine dress shirt made in the most artistic manner, era commoner article, ho can pro cure it here at the lowest possible cost. and of such ad mirable construction that it will fit him like his skin. A good shirt is as necessary to masculine felicity as a good dinner. If it wrinkles up, or sets awry, or chafes his neck, or binds Lim across the shoulders, or hitches him under the arms, he is as miser able as a horse with his hair brushed the wrong way. Messrs. Scott & Co. guarantee a perfect fit and perfect satisfaction. Their stock of goods includes everything that belongs to their business and a few things more. A man can procure of them anything that he can want to add to the comfort of his person or to make his toilet complete—from a brocade dressing-grown to a toothpick. It will only be necessary to visit Messrs. Scott & Co.'s establishment and make a purchase or two there,in order to become a regular customer. A TIMELY APPEAL.—From the managers of an excellentcharity, the "Industrial Home for Girls," we receive the following urgent appeal. The "Home" is continually protecting young women who are otherwise uncured for, aid saving them from the easy descent into degradation and misery. It will be hard to point to a more needed charity, or one more deserving of extension and aid: BEDS WANTED. "Where did you sleep last night?'? "In the Station House." "Have you no place where you can go to-night ?" "No, ma'am." "Can you Lot pay for a night's lodging somewhere?" "No, ma'am. I hasn't got a cent of money." "What can we do?" say the managers of the Industrial Home for Girls to each other, as this poor, half-clad, homeless young woman waits in the Committee-room for an answer to her appeal for shelter and employment. "We cannot turn her away this cold evening, into the streets. Yet. every bed in the 'Horne' is occupied, We must tell the 'slatron to make up a bed on the floor, some' , where. for her to-night." There is room in this [lonic for more of these homeless ones, who help to fill the statiotehouses to overflowing, if the means could be obtained to buy more beds. The regular subscriptions and donations, which form the in come of this institution, are not sufficient to do more than meet the daily expenses ot the family'. Shull the doors be closed against those Who seek shel ter and protection hero, or will the 111"atig be applied for the purchase of more bells, that all U 110 (.01110 may he welcomed and provided for?
