CITY BULLETIN. STORY ABOUT THE PINE ALLEY KNUCKS.— Upon a certain occasion, when an important election was pending in New York, a large crowd of " roughs proceeded from Phila delphia to that place for the purpose of voting, as was thought, at that time. Among this crowd were all, or nearly all the Pine alley knucks, who, in addition to voting, intended to ply their professional vocation that of Picking pockets. Owing to the vigilance of the police of New York city the thieves wore bathed to some extent. Two or three days after the election four of the " knucks" went down to Castle Garden and seated themselves near the river. The tide was tolerably low. These disconsolate thiev( s wanted to return to Philadelphia, but they had no money. Therefore they resorted to expediency. After considerable talk among themselves, one of them agreed to fall over board. This would cause excitement; the people, of whom there were many in the, vicinity, would gather around, and thus an excellent opportunity would be' offered to commit robberies. The leader of the " knucks" being an expert swimmer, was to fall over board. Arrangements were thus completed. Into the river he tumbled and floundered around, grasping at imaginary objects, then sinking and coming up to the surface,eitruggling violently. "Man overboard" was shouted; the people ran from every direction. Another of the " knucks," in his attempt to save his fellovi-creature from drowning, fell into the water, and came very near losing his life in ' the effort. The excitement increased, and finally both were rescued from a watery grave. Some of the more kind-hearted in the crowd brought stimulants to the apparently suffering men, and in a short time they fully recovered and were able to walk. On the same afternoon the same thieves appeared on the fine steatner Jahn Potter, and finding themselves safe from observation, summed tip the, proceeds of the adventure to the following effect: One "spark" (diamond pin), worth $250; seven dummies" (pocket-books)—five " fat" and two A' lean";' one love-letter,-and a loose sio- bank-note. The proceeds of the robberies amounted to nearly seven hundred dollars. This was considered a pretty good job, and a portion of the funds was - expended in a sup per at the "Bugle" and to 'fee a lawyer, who was counsel for another "knuck" at that time in prison awaiting trial. 01.6 Jabez Gates, of Ger mantown, has in his possession an anvil - upon which Were forged the moulds in which • the first types :made in this country were cast. Of this ancient relic the Germantown Chroni cle says : "The anvil,. previous to coming into Mr. G.'s possession, belonged to Mr. Frederick Fleckenstein, who, upon giving it to the present owner, received from him a present of a new English anvil, faced with steel.• Mr_ Fleckenstein had used the anvil in his daily business .up to within a very few years back. she types -cti.st from the moulds forged upon this anvil were used by Christo pher Sauer, or Sower, grandfather of the se . niorpartner of the present tirm - of Sower & Barnes, bookpublishers. Several Bibles printed by Mr. Sower are now in the posses sion of Mr. Joseph J. Mickl ey, 924 Market street. They Were taken possession of by the British troops at the battle of Germantown, and cast into a stable, and the leaves still bear evidence of having been stained thereby. One of them contains on the fly-leaf a family re cord of an old Germantown family, but the handwriting is • German and very illegible. Sower's printing-oflice stood on time site of Dr. Owen Wister's mansion, Main street, op posite ,Queen. The 'anvil above mentioned descended into Mr. Fleckenstein's possession from his grandfather." PRELIMINARY TO ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS FIRR.—A few nights ago, having occasion to visit a public building on Chestnut street, we okserved a man extinguishing the gas lights of a chandelier, pending about eight feet froth the ceiling. Instead of having the proper in strument with which to accomplish thejOb, lie took a long brush-handle, and with it struck the valves repeatedly until the flow of gas was stopped. In performing ibis work the chan deher vibrated considerably, perhaps not less than three or four inches. As there are quite a number of chandeliers in the building, and all about the same height from the floor,'it is probable they were all served in the same style. Of course, such work as this tends to, loosen the connecting joint of the shaft of the chandelier and the horizontal pipe between the ceiling and the floor of the second store.. Hence, a probable leak sooner or later, and another mysterious fire. It may be well to state that in this same building side-lights.are kept bailing all night. Now if the gas Should leak from the cause above indicated, it might not be detected very readily. It would keep accumulating along the ceiling and gradually descending, until it reached the aforesaid side lights, when a terrific explosion would occur, the result of.which cannot be calculated. DISORDERLY HOUSES.-17116 .Fifth District Police made a deseent.on the house of Hetty Denby, colored, Seventh and St. Mary streets. on Saturday night. Eight persons, blacks and whites, males and femalesi , werecaptured,and were taken before Ald.

Last night a raid was made on the house of Amy James, colored, in Poplar court, in the neighborhood of Tenth and Locust streets. Amy and ten others (males and females, among whom were two whites) were taken into custody. The prisoners were all com mitted by Ald. Morrow.'

Policeman John McCullough was notified, and at Seventeenth and Chestnut streets. captured-the -woman and one of the men. The other man escaped. The prisoners Save their names ai Henry Miller and Kate tanley. They will be arraigned . before Justice Kerr this afternoon. . . Punier: Anriitit.—There was,gg stir and a buzz In the large and fashionable ciangregation at St. Mark's Churchlyesterday morning,when Her Britannic '5l ajesty's' Consul entered with a strange young gentleleall. " Prince Arthur " Was whispered all over the church, and the young man excited as much interest as the rector or the surplieed choir. After church everybody had something to say about " the Prince.". Imagine their chagrin when they saw in the morning papers that Prince Arthur passed through Philadelphia on - Saturday without stopping, and attended morning ser vice yesterday at Trinity Church, New York.
