CITY BULLETIN
DEN'TIIVIIIY IN AMERICA.
Commencement of • the Ithtinaelphia
Dental (Allege.
Among the many other sciences in which
America has peculiarly distinguished herself
is the science of dentistry: As every
body knows, Philadelphia gave to the
Court of France its personal dentist, while in
principal cities, the world over, the parch-
Went of the Philadelphia Dental College is
now a recognized evidence of merit, requiring
nothing as collateral to give it the required
*validity. •
This College, though but in the seventh year
of its existence, has virtually revolutionized
the practice of dentistry., it has so closely
wedded it to the general aatomy, and an ac
quaintance with the nervous system of the
human frame, that the graduate of the dental
college of to-day is as far, superior in profes
sional education to the old-time " snag-puller, "
as the horse from the stable of an em
:perm' •is snperior to • the • drudge that
carries the peasant's . burden. The
„graduates of our Philadelphia institution
have come to it from all parts of the world—
from each corner of the Russian empire, from
Norway and Switzerland, from every quarter
of the tropics. The excellence of the mode of
instruction as pursued by the faculty of this
institution is as well understood in Europe as
it is hero. The forte of the faculty seems : to
show itself, in the subdivision of the various
branohes of the science, with a professor at
the head of each to whom no superior is to be
found.
That at the Annual Commencement of this
institution to-day t the wealth, the beauty and
the culture of Philadelphia thronged the /lea
denly of Music is not to be wondered at. The
study of dentistry is eminently calculated .to
concentrate the faculties; our dental students
have invariably proven to be thorough gentle
men; given wholly . to the practice of their in
teresting. art..- During their novitiate the num
ber of friends that they have made was shown
in the beaming smiles and tonquotedapproba•
tiori which greeted them to-day.
• When the full glare of the gas-light was
thrownimon the scene it lit up a"coup d'ceui/
of exceeding beauty. The faculty of the Col
lege entered upon the stage at precisely 12
o'clock. Every thing had been most hand
somely done. Whoever set the' stage per
formed•his task in a manner that shows him
to be eminently- an appreciator of " the
unities."
In a semi-lunar form were seated the faculty
of the institution. In their rear were grouped
. the alumni of the College and many prominent
dentists, who are rather too rich to begin, a&
initio, • the study of a profession whose bays
for years past have adorned their brows.
Upon tables, on the stage, were pyramids of
bouquets; to each graduate, in the course of
the exercises, one of these offerings was for
mally presented. The donors were in some
cases known, in other cases anonymous.
The post of honor was occupied by Ex-Gov
ernor Pollock. Bishop Simpson was to have
offered the opening prayer. In his absence
Rev. Dr., Withrow performed the pleasing
duty. The music was so good that as a matter
of record we annex the programme, asAhus :
Overture" Gems from Martha,".......Flotow
Aria—" Rigoletto," :Verdi
Shadow Dance—" Dinorah," Meyerbeer
Selections--" Genevieve de Brabant," ,v,- - • •
Offenbach
Waltz—"•Kuenstlerleben "
Strauss
Finale ---"Huguenots," Myerbeer
Grand March —" Le Prophete,"....Myerbei3r
The degrees were conferred with lump
proachable gracefulness by Gov. Pollock.
To each young gentlemanpresent was awarded
• a diploma. Perhaps equally dear to him •waS
the accompanying banquet. Gov. Pollock
identified himself with this institution in con
sequence of his individual teeth. The 6x-
Governor, with an ability to reduce to "iron
•filings " a keg of ten-penny nails', is considered
••by our reporter as the very man, par excellence,
to be the Mieeenas to a university for the
spread of the science of dentistry.
To the graduating class au address was then
made by Professor S. B. Howell, M. D. The
valedictory was by one of the finest dental
surgeons extant,' Dr. William H. Jackson, of
Canada. ' •
' His Honor Mayor Fox then made the
closing address. A feeling and impressiVe
benediction was, then pronounced by Dr.
•Withrow.
As each graduate received his diploma, it
seemed to our reporter he cherished it as a
special prize. • The institution from the outset
11181:wen rigid in ignoring all favoritism. From
the lexicon of the facility the word " parti
ality" was erased from the very beginning.
To this oven-banded justice the •present pros
perity of the college is to some extent due.
Beside this, each graduate is required to sub
mit a thesis, and upon the topic of this thesis
he is searchingly examined. This examina
tion he cannot shirk. He graduates, if be
graduate at all,. upon his individual profi
ciency in the accomplishments of the profes
sion wan the duties of which ,he proposes to
enter.

LOCAL Cx ownun.-:-In utter desperation the
meat-packers are now harvesting ice about
three inches thick. It is too filled with impu
rities to be fit for any other purpose. From
the ponds in the country around us the ice
was yesterday stripped. The desperation that
inspired the pork and beef-packers to the ac
ceptance of a meagre supplyl . was shared by
Mr. Heulings, of the American Hotel. He
yesterday filled the ice4iouses upon his farm
with an article hardly four inches thick.
Mike Tracy was before Alderman Eggleton
this morning. He lives at Cadwalader and
Master streets. He was charged with smiting
his spouse. Had the Alderman been person
ally hen-pecked he might have been more
lenient. As it was, he saw nothing to palliate
the alleged offence. He held the accused to
answer.
• Wm. Adams partook last night of gin. To
keep the gin from ascending his spinal
column and taking possession of his brain, ho
placed upon it a glass of brown stout. He
crowned the mixture with old rye. This
crowned him with a headache. He was
arrested in a state of demoralization that was
fast verging upon the dangerous. Alderman
Morrow gave him extradition this, morning.

A SAD CASE.—A policeman, in the early
gray of this morning, saw an old man moving,
as swiftly as his trembling limbs could carry
him, down Noble street to tho wharf. Sits
peal ng something wrong, the policeman kept
close to his heels. His, surmise in the case,
proved the correct one. The•old man crossed
Delaware avenue, and stood upon the pier.
That he didn't plunge into the swirl of turbid
water that eddied tive feet beneath him was
because of the strong grasp of his shoulder
by the policeman's arm. Ho was tenderly led
to the station house. He claimed that he was
unable to work; that his son, to whom MS was
a burden, was anxious to be relieved from him.
It seemed to be the story told over again of
Jonas and Anthony Chuzzlewit.

A RIMMERY Row.—A man named Mul en
last night received a fearful wound in the
cheek throughthe instrumentality of an oyster
knife. Be was in a restaurant in the vicinity
of Fourth and George streets. The wound is
an ugly one ; it is remarkably suggestive of
tetanic after-consequences. By 'whom he was
wounded nobody seems to know. The moral
of the case seems to be that if no man would
visit any place in which he .would object to his
dead body being . found, society would very
lar _el • be the gainer. .•-• "
Itouon.—At Third and Chestnut streets, this
morning, a man was beaten with a blackjack.
A man named George Bear, it was alleged,
didthe beating. A policeman followdd him to
Second and Chestnut streets. As the civil
functionary came up, it is alleged, Bear
handed the blackjack to one Daniel ld.c-
Anany. 'Before the Alderman the latter was
discharged. The former was held in 5600 to
answer.
Now, IF EvEn.—FrOm the manner in which
the sale of Mr. I. Lutz's stock of elegant furni
ture is going off to-day under the gavel of Mr.
B. Scott, Jr., every person who can use au
article of .furniture will do well to hasten to
the ; place of sale, No. 121 South Eleventh
street. That the times are out, of joint is il
lustrated by the fact that the most conScienti
onslyconstructed furniture is now being sold
at prices lower than those we have often seen
given for furnitute with which Mr. Lutz's
: ware would blush to be found in company.
We repeat, 4 ‘ now or never!" Like seventeen

day.

Miss PRICE'R BEN RFI T.—At the Arch Street
Theatre, this evening, Miss Lizzie Price will
have n benefit in Camille and The Toadies:
Miss Price enjoys great popularity with the
theatre-goers of this city, and she deserves it
well, for she is a careful and conscientious
artist ; she lia.s a very greht deal of natural
ability, and she has striven faithfully to im
prove her opportunities. We sincerely hope
she may have a crowded house .to-night, and
such an enthnsiastie reception as will assure
her of the Strong 'hold she has upon the good
will of the public.
BitAs's, NOT Runn'r.u.—The material of the
Bank Riumers' Safety Box, made by Messrs.
Wiler & MoSs, of this city, is of brass. That
we yesterday represented it to be of rubber
was an inaccuracy attributable to the excite
ment caused by the cable tidings of the demise
of Mr. Burlingame. The banks and many
merchants are eagerly securing them.

THE 4 , ti tit , or isoOroNr.,,
IWendpsevirein Days &Mee the steamer
"tam heard frette..owlOettlres with Ile•
Kurd to her irate.
No tidings have been received as yet of the
Steamship Uity of Bosten, which left Halifax
for Liverpool on the 28th ult., and has not since
been heard from. Ishe Halitax Recorder of the
lath inst. gives the following additional par
ticulars about the missing steamer :
"''She steamer City of - Boston, which sailed
hence for Liverpool on the 28th ultimo, not
having arrived there as yet,. rani* anxiety for
her safety is naturally felt in this community,
the more so that a number of our most promi
nent merchants are on heard of her. 'As a
number of rumors are afloat, we feel it to be
our duty to lay before the public all the facts
in this connection that we have been able to
gather. The first is the report of a steamer
having been soon in distress in the vicinity of
Sable Island. This rumor is founded on the
following report, • which we transcribe from
the original document on file at the Office
of Marine and Fisheries in this city:
Captain Hackett, of- the schooner Charles
Tupper, from Glace Bay, bound for St. .lago,
reports: About 7 o'clock on the night of the
31st January, the weather being moderate and
the night clear and star-lit, was in latitude 43
degrees 30 minutes north and longitude about
61 degrees west. The schooner had been dis
abled by the heavy gales • from the southeast
and northwest, and was without a rudder,
having a foresail and, jib. About 7 o'clock
that evening the Captain was alone on deck,
and saw a white light ahead abOut a mile
off, which ho at first took for a star, but
afterwards found it -to" be the masthead
light of a steamer. Ile then. shw the
port light on his eastern side, then saw the
three lights right astern.. Saw no steam or
smoke, but knew it was a steamer* from the
light. She appeared to be going about four or
fiveiknots. It was a large vessel with three
masts. Cannot say whether she was ship
rigged. She then worked to the western side
of mo, and 1 saw the white light and the star-.
board light. She was then about a point on
my port bow, about north from me. She
throw up three rockets. They were of differ
ent colors; I think the first was white, the
second blue, and the third red. The steamer
went out of sight on a course from N. to
N. W. She was in sight about three hours.
Regarding this report, it will be observed
that, first, the steamer seen, was, from her
position and course, in no danger from Sable
Island ; second that there, is no evidence that
she was in distress ; in fact, the probability is,
that having been driven somewhat out of her
proper course by the gales of the preceding
days, and knowing herself to be in the vicinity
of land, she was signaling for a pilot ; third,
. the City of Boston must have got , far beyond
that locality on the night of the 31st, having,
sailed, as she did, on the 28th ; and fourthly;
the rockets thrown up, white,
red. and blue,
are not the right signals of the Inman line,
but they are those of the Allen line of
steamers. The former line throws up but two
colors, blue and red. -It is thus Conclusively
proved that the steamer in question could not
have been the missing one.
Another report is that the City of Boston
broke two of the tans of her screw in coming
out on her last trip, from Liverpool, and that
they bad not been repaired previously to her
starting again. With regard to this the agents
inform us that She did not break one of the
fans on limiest trip : but that on arriving at
New York the injured screw was taken out
and replaced by'a new one. In conclusion,
we may say !hat there is no real' occasion to
believe that the vessel has met with . a. disaster,
for if any accident has happened, as 'is quite
possible; to her machinery, such as to disable
it, it might be a week or even ten days hence
before she could reach port,.especially consid
ering the severe weather that has prevailed of
late. We shall, therefore, not entertain any
serious apprehension for the safety of the City
of Boston for some (lays yet. •
This. view is confirmed by the following
telegram received from Mr. Inman, Liver
" Live
rpool: I have ne fear Of ship (meaning City of
Boston); She cannot get in with these 'strong
east winds. New 11 ork mail-boat due last
Friday not reported."
THE YACHT mitrEon
particulars of Her Loss on the African
Coast—The Crew Sawed—Twenty-one
Days Among the Wild Arabs—Details
of the Catastrophe from the Second
Offleer—Return of the Crew.
Brief particulars have already appeared of
the loss, off the coast of Algiers, on the 12th
DeCember ' of the yacht Meteor, in a gale.
For many days fears were entertained for the
safety of the owner, Mr. George E. Lorillard,
his guest, Mr. Philip Robinson, and the crow
of twenty-tmo persons. Later advices gave
us the pleasing assurance that all on board
had been saved. From the second officer, with
has arrived in New York, some interesting
details of the loss of the Meteor have been
received.
HEN CRUISE OUT TO AFRICA:
The yacht left New York on the 28th of
August, and after a rapid run, which was re
markable for pleasant weather, arrived at
Cowes on October 9. After remaining there
some days she sailed for Lisbon, Portugal.
The voyage was noted for nothing of unusual
interest, the trim little craft making excellent
time on the passage, and thence to runic.
From Tunis she proceeded to the port of Al
giers, in North Africa, where she lay for a few
days. Her next cruise was to Malta, where
she arrived without accident. On the 10th of
December the Meteor beat out of the harbor,
destined for Tunis.
1N A GALE.
For the first thirty hours she experienced
pleasant weather, but on the night of the 11th
the wind freshened considerably. At , five
o'clock on the morning of the 12th, while run
ning along the coast, near Cape Bonn a strong
easterly gale struck her. The commander of the
vessel look- prompt measures to meet the
stw in that threatened ; but twenty minutes
later the noble 'vessel struck a coral reef
heavily three times as she went upon it and
over it. The weather at the time' was thick
and raining, and there was no indication pre
vious to striking of any immediate danger.
THE WRECK.
As the sea lifted her up and hurried her
upon the treacherous reet she trembled from
stem to stern,and for an instant those on board
believed she would go to pieces. The swells
carried her over, but with the loss, however,
of her keel—fourteen tons of lead. After pass
ing the reef she stranded in the
sand in eight feet of water,
and the seas that struck her, forcibly and
often, failed to extricate the vessel, which fell
upon her beam ends.
ATTEMPTS TO wenn HER OFF.
The crew attempted to set the mainsail,
bring her to the wind and workher off. After
strenuous efforts they were •successful in
setting the sail, but she continued to thump
heavily until daylight, the sea in the mean
time breaking over her with. constantly in
creasing fury. At seven o'clock all hope of
working the,vessel off was abandoned. The
gale increased in violence and promised . to re
sult in the loss of all on board. In this trying
emergency the sails were lowered and furled - ,
and a life line run fore and aft the deck to
prevent the crew from being washed over
board.
RESCUED FROM DEATH.
The commander now turned his attention to
the rescue of those on board. The point where
she stranded was off Cape Bonn, one-fourth of
a mile from the shore. A boat was launched
immediately, and, manned by stout hearts, it
succeeded in weathering the angry sea that
threatened to 'engulf it and running a line
ashore, by the aid of which all the souls on
hoard safely reached land.
BARREN STRAND.
The point where they landed was entirely
destitute of inhabitants, except a few wild
Arabs, who passed up and down the coast.
The nearest point of succor was Tunis, eighty
miles distant. The interpreter was imme
diately despatched for that point to secure
assistance for the shipwrecked crow.
For several hours the sea ran so high that.
all oornmunication with the wreck was out off.
oTturprNo THR WRECK.
The next day the gale subsided and provi
sions, sails ana necessary stores were Janda&
Tents were manufactured from the. Hails, and
the adventurous Americans organized their
encampment. n the soil . of Africa, Eieverai
days were spent in removing the rigging,
spars, stores, ell , of which - wore landed,
tearing the bare hull subject to.the will of Old
Dorcas. .
Finally-the English steamer Laneefield ar
rived front Malta,
and getting out lines' en
deavored to draw the,gallant yacht off, but all
efforts proved abortive, as she was too firmly
embedded in the sand. • •
TIM DEPARTURE FOR CIVILIZATION
AA the timber is very scarce and valuable On
the mast, the hull of the Meteor wits mitred
into,, three parts, broken .up and placed nn
board the steamer; with the-rigging, stores
and crew and on the lot of January the scene
of their vicissitudes was left. In duo time they
arrived at Malta, from which the shipwrecked
men were shipped to this port, by United
States Consul Adams, of that city. The timber
secured from the wreak was sold at Malta,and
the spars, riggipg and other appurtenances
forwarded to the; city.
THE CAUSE OF THE CATASTROPHIC.
The 'gentleman from whom these particu
lars have been ascertained, assorts that no
blame can be attached to any for the loss of
the Meteor. The probable cause was the
presence of an unknown current that carried
her too far in shore, as there have been no
surveys' of this coast for 'Many years,. and no
mention of these currents, which old coast
captains claim exist, are given in the lute
stilling directions.
THE CONDUCT OF THE CREW
during the trying scenes enacted, when death
stared them in the face . , is spoken of in terms
of the highest admiration. Messrs . Lorillard
and Robinson, the captain—indeed, all on
board—displayed all the courage and self-pos
session of heroes, and labored assiduously to
save not only their own Jives, but
the noble craft. To their coolness is ascribed
the salvation of all on board.--Hera/d.

They are only .isened upon each section of the Road as
as fast as the same is completed and in Pnccesiifill opera
lion. Oyer two and a half millions of dollars have beim
experded on the Road. Eighty-three miles are about
completed and equipped, and already show large earn.
imps ; and the remainder of the lino is rapidly progress
ing toward. completion.
The State of lowa, through which this road runs. bi
one of the richest agricultural sections ii America. Its
large population, extending with surprising rapidity,
and its immense yield of grain, pork, wool and other ag
ricultural products, create a preening demand for the
construction of this road, which affords the best possible
guarantee for the bOndholders, especially as the line
runs through tho wealthiest and must thickly populated
section of the State.
The road also runs through the risk and growing State
of Minnesota. Reference to the. map of the United
States will show that it traverses the 171031 enterprising
and growing portion of the West, and forms one of the
great trunk lines in direct comMunication with New
York, Chicago and St. Louis, being to the letter city
rindy miles nearer from Northern lowa and all por
tions of the State of Minnesota than by any other road
now built or projected, and oleo the nearest routo from
Central and Southern lowa.
The road IN opened for local traffic as rapidly, as con-
Articled, and thus RECEIVES EARNINGS ON, ITS
COMPLATED SECTIONS GREATLY IN EXCESS
OF THE AMOUNT NEEDED TO P*l THE IN
TEREST UPON ITS. BONDS BEFORE THE
ROAD IS FINISHED. The buyer of these Bands 'ls
therefore guarkateed,by a great b usiness already in exig
ence on the route of the road, as ice!! as 'by now current
earnings, and has not to risk any or the eontingetwies
which always attend the opening of roads in a new and
unsettled country. •
A limited quantity, only. of theee Bonds
are now offered at 93.
After a thorough Investigation of the above enter
prise, we recommend these Bonds as a first-class Invest
ment,affordlng absolute safety, and paying an unusually
liberal rate of interest. All marketable securities at
their full price, free of commission and express charges,
received In payment. Pamphlets ;and maps furnished
