CITY BULLETIN.
• ,
Fall AND FRIDAY.—At the Dock street
wharf, every Friday morning, invariably
opens_ out a piscatorial picture. On that day
the fish .market realizes its hebdomadal. re
turns: What Saturday is to the vender of sir-
loins and the dispenser of spinach, Friday
becomes to the people " who go down to the
sea in ships (fishing smacks), and do business
in the great waters." Whatever argentifer
oiis - :reaults may accrue to the drawers of
seines, and ~to those seducers who cozen
Mackerel from their brine with a deceptive
bait of Ted flannel, are shown by the piscato
rial balance-sheet of Friday.
The bulk of the business at Dock street fish
market is transacted about the time that bank
presidents, reporters and other millionaire's
Aire turning over "In their. beds for the en
joYineiit 'Of the Seeend instalment of "that
_l ast nap." .• About that time, Dock street
wharf LS almost as crowded n 8 the office of
Tax-Receiver Peitz at the moment we
are penning - this piscatorial matter. The
buyers come from all parts of • the
- city. Not, a — few of them are females.
• For -some reason or other, femininity
seems naturally to incline toward fishes. If
We have ever bought a porgie from a dealer
,dressed in pantaloons, the circumStance has
escaped our memory. The ladies often vend
their merchandise from trays, poised upon
their heads. Long habit has so accustomed
some of them to this coronal of basswood that
to'dispense with it has been known to bring
about a positiVe difficulty in keeping "the
centre of gravity over the base." The rumor
that a lady once entered the old
Kensington Presbyterian Church with her
tray upon her caput—from sheer force of
habit—is contradicted only to a limited extent.
, While the ofierings at our fish markets, we
grieve to say, are not equal to those of Boston
or New York, they are quite sufficient for the
'religious and hygienic purposes of a Friday.
Though we can't purchase living deep-sea
fish from tanks, as they can in • New York or
Boston, we can do as well as atiV city whose
geographical position is JO miles - from the sea.
The aggregate of the weekly sales of fresh
water fish in Philadelphia, we believe to bo
as large as that of any other city of equal popu
lation. The cat-fish is brought to us in enorm
-011.4 quantities, In New York it is not appre
ciated. The fish is known by the natue of
hull-heads. In a fish-pond their presence is
regarded as a pest. Per contra, the best of all
fresh-water fish, trout only excepted, is the
pickerel. One reason why the supply in this
Market is sometimes scanty is because, in
Fulton market, New York, the fish hringsany
price that the dealer may choose to ask for it.
What the dealers are now doing is - perfecting
" their arrangements for a supply during Lent.
The season of Lent to the fish trade is what
the Eurepean carnival into butchers and to
dealers in bon-bons.
In this city it isn't always safe to aak the
latest maritime news from the salt-water fish
that are vended in our markets. Though the
inquiry may not hurt the feelings of the iish,it
might possibly wound the sensibilities of the
lady who sells them. The precise connection
between fish and profanity is something that
even Theodore Hook failed to fathom. For
this reason it is an enigma that we shall not
undertake to solve. All we propose is, to pro
pitiate the reader toward the good ladies who
bring fish to our doors in the early, morning,
lwhile Bridget is yet burnishing the street-door
bell. The only favor we ask in return is that
the lady by whose matutinal cry of " cat
f-ee-s-h " we are regularly awakened, will
pitch her melody some eight notes lower than
her present key,
PRAYER FOR COLLEGES.-NUMOrOUS meet
ings were held in this city, yesterday, in ob
servance of the annual day of special prayer
for colleges and literary institutions. A
Union Meeting of the Baptist churches was
held at the Fifth Baptist Church, corner of
T.lghteenth and Spring Garden streets. Rev.
Warren Randolph, D. D., presided, and stated
that 105 years ago there was only one Baptist
..Academy and one Baptist College in the
United States, and that the college only had
one student. Now there are twenty-live
baptist colleges and theological insti
tutions, with three thousand students,
4 '
' :of Whom eight hundred are preparing for the
ministry. .He spoke also of the' important
I:dueational Convention to be held in
Brooklyn, in April. Remarks were made by
• qteV. Howard Malcom, D. D., in reference to
theologigal seminaries, speaking very highly
of the Crozer Theological Seminary aeUpland,
Pa. Rev, Dr. Sprat, in behalf of the Penn
., ' .sYlvania BaptistiEducation Society, made ap
propriate remarks, followed by prayer by Rev.
'
R. L. Magoon D. D., of tho. Broad Street
Church. A letter was read by Rev. Dr.
Castle, from . a College President in
Michigan, requesting prayer in view
of the religious interests already existing
among the students. Rev. George D.
Boardman, I.i. D., of the First Baptist Church,
• Snake of Mission Colleges; and literary in
stitutions for young women, and the impor
tance of religious instruction in the earliest
years °flint. Rev. T. s. Malcom Spoke of the
origin of the day of prayer nearly fifty Years
`E.: ago, as related toliitu by the founder,Rev. Dr.
Dwight, and,also described the far-reaching
results of a single revival' in Brown
- University ; and also spoke of
the importance of training an ed
tinted ministry for the freedmen. He men
,- -* gulled four institutions for colored preachers
recently visited by him, and their enthusiasm
in gaining knowledge and the earnest desire
of several to preach the. Gospel in Africa.
Rev. Dr. Muss spoke of the anxiety felt by
teachers for the religious wOrare of their
pupils. Prayers were offered and remarks
unide by several others. At night there
-
were meetings in different churches. Never
before has a greater interest been generally
telt,itt the ' religious education of the young
men and yoUng women of our country.
Lemur., CnoWnhat.—Tito pressure of people
at the office of the 'Pax Receiver is almost se
rious. Of the'inadequaey of the present , Mu
nicipal buildings for public purposes,this pros-.
sure adds another to the taultitude 'of exist- ,
ing illustrations. 'To discriminate between la
tiles andgentleinen is utterly impossible. The.
amenities of polite life are
rehlemilYhut una
voidably ignored in a throng like that ante
Tex Relieiver's-ofiice to-day. The rule of the
tonsorial establishment as to priority is the
only rule that can be here rendered available.
• The temperance way of obtaining a stimu
lant consists in applying to a polite drug clerk,
for two fluid ounces of spiritus frumenti. In!
the vernacular this means " three fingers deep
of old Bourbon."
Scene in an Alderman's offico.---" You said
you behoved Mr. Jones to be a member of

court ask upon what basis you founded that
opinion ?" " You may, sir; it was because a

Mr JOICIOS. Constable, call the next witness."
Mostof the "spring dry goods" at present

Some people are little in great things.
Frederick of Prussia `vas .among them.
Other people are great in little things. Among
the latter class are the gentlemen who pack
crockery ware for transportation. The task
of packing a dozen of water-ewers, egross of
spittoons and an equal number of pieces of
globular crockery into the same, crate with a
lot of champagne glasses as ethereal as so
ninny soap-bubbles,is one that'involves a
degree of high art ought to place Mr.
Hiram Abili Stimmel, of China Hall, upon
the same plane occupied by Prof. Agassiz
when 'the subject of the amours of ;
the ter
rapin family is involved, and that of Prof.
Morton when the question mooted, is "the
specific gravity of light."
mo reason that so many indifferent books
are published, is that so many writers are try
•ing to write like somebody' else. Imitation
-ideas are like imitation fruits. The .
are waxy,
and lack succulence. A' writer who) tries to
imitate the style of some other writer is like a
man endeavoring to adapt the dimensions of
his arms to the sleeves of some other person's
jacket. AS;this is the opinion Of Mr. Lippin
cott, it must be true.
The engtheers who hoist fire-proof safes into
buildings, through fourth-story windows,
evince a degree of crank-and-pulley calcula
tion that might possibly present a puzzle even
to the brain of Brunel. to witness the latter
operation to-day, in the vicinity of the But,
LE'rfs• building, drew a gathering of perhaps
a thousand people.

REORGANIZATION OF THE. FIRE DEPART
MENT.—The subject of a reorganization of the
Fire Department in such a manner - as will do
away with the rowdyism which now disgraces
it, has been considered in many of the compa
nies, and finally a eonventiou was called to
consider the matter. This convention met
last evening, at the house of the Resolution
Hose Company.. It was composed of delegates
duly accredited from thirty-seven companies.
Frauds Mills, of the Fame Hose Company,
was called to the chair, and Win. A. Porter,
of the Mechanic Engine Company, was ap
pointed Secretary.
After a general interchange of opinion a
committee of eleven—two from each of the first
four districts and one each frota the other dis
tricts—was appointed to prepare and report a
plan for a complete reorganization of the
Fire Department upon a.basis which will be
satisfactory to the citizens as well as the mem
bers of the Department.
The Convention adjourned to meet at the
call of the Committee.
'rho Committee will meet at an early day
next week to consider the subject.
RC/BURRY, ARRESTS AND RECOVERY 'OF
STOLEN PROPERTY.—The brick yard of
Thomas H. Flood & Bro., at Allegheny
Avenue and Plank road. in the Twenty-fifth
Ward, was robbed of 49 I.,frate plates on
Monday night last. In carrying away their
plunder the thieves used a horse and wagon
which they got from the stable belonging to
the establishment. The police were notified
of the robbery, and Special Officer Powell, of
the Eleventh District, traced 23 of the stolen
plates to the junk shop of Thomas McVey,
No. 1834 Germantown Avenue. McVey at
once described the parties from whom be had
obtained the articles,and expressed his willing
ness to assist the police in ferreting out
the thieves. Last night, about half-past
ten o'clock, at Sergeant and Emerald
streets, Antoine Keller, Geo. Kraemer and
Fred. Snyder were arrested upon the charge of
having committed the robbery. They will

cluding the horse and wagon, has been re
covered.
A NicE CoUrra:.—Geo. W. Young, colored,
aged seventeen years, has been employed at
the Arch Street House. Yesterday he was
granted an indefinite leave of absence. He
soon fell in with George Pierce, white, aged
twenty years, who, he says, put him up to rob
hingThe house. A. silver pitcher and about
ten dollars 'disappeared from the ,premises. -
Mr. 'Washington Criss, the proprietor, suspec
ted Young. He got a couple of officers and
went down to Seventh and Lombard streets.
Young was found in an eating saloon, and
Pierce was caught in the neighborhood. A
small amount of the money had been ex
pended, but the balance and the pitcher were
recovered. The dock at the Central Station
will contain the prisoners this afternoon.'
A BUTTER TRIEF.—WM. Brown is one of a
numerous class of individuals who can't see
why butter should be hold at such a high
figure. He was in Second street 'market this
• morning. He wanted a pound of butter. The
price was too much for him. He slipped the
butter into his basket and didn't say anything
atiout it to the proprietor. Sergeant Almon
raw this. He invitee Brown to walk over to
Alderman Cahill's office. The magistrate
thought it hard to commit a man for stealing
butter, but remarked, "law is laW!" Brown .

THE. LiDDELT,JORES TRAGEDY IN
NEW ORLEANS.
A Son Avenging ilieyisthert—Shooting
Fre& the Boiler Desk.
The New Orleans Picayune of the 20th con
tains the following narration of an• attempt of
a son of the late General Liddell, to avenge
the death of his father, by shooting , from the
boiler deck of the Governor Allen at his
murderer:
- -
It seems as though the terrible feud which
bas been existing for so many years in the
parish of Catahoula, and which recently laid
low that gallant,spirit, General St. John Lid
dell, is,to be as deadly and as desperate as that
- waged between the Montagues and the Capu
lets. By the arrival at our levee of the steamer
Governor Allen, Captain Richard Sinnott,
from Monroe, La., we learn that on Thurs
day afternoon last, just as the Allen was back
ing out from Harrisonburg, Col. Chas. E. Jones,
who bad been placed in the custody of a
deputy sheriff for the killing of General Lid.
dell, on board the steamer St. Mary, appeared
suddenly on the bank of the river, when Judge
Liddell, a son of the late General Liddell,
who was a passenger on the Allen, seizing a
double-barrel shotgun, fired both barrels from
the boiler deck at him. Colonel Jones at
once took refuge in a house near the river,
and as the Allen left immediately, having no
communication with tne shore, it is not known
whether Colonel Jones received any injuries
or not. •
- -
Judge Liddell had taken passage on the
Allen at-Monroe, for the purpose of visiting
the plantation of his father on Black river,
where he left the steamer.
Immediately on hearing the reports of the
gun, Captain Sinnott, of the Allen, rushed to
where to Liddell stood,took charge of the gun,
and remonstrated with Liddell for violating
the rules of the boat, and for committing a
breach of the peace. Judge Liddell stated
that the extraordinary circumstances con
nected with the killing of his father must be
his excuse for his action. He was utterly un
able to control himself on seeing Colonel Jones
so near him. We learn from Capta:.n Sinnott
that the funeral of General Liddell, which
took place on Tuesday last on his plantation,
was largely attended by the people of Cato,
boula and the neighboring parishes. • :

These Mends; at present prise of gold, yield over 9 per
rout. interest, and as an intestment they are fully
secure as U. S. 6-20's, which now only pay SU per cent
in currency.
They are only Issued neon each section of the Road ad
as fast us the same is completed and in successful opera
tion. Over two and a half millions of dollars have been
expended on the :Road. Eighty-three Miles are about
completed and equipped, and already show large earn
ingd; and the remainder of the lino is, rapidly progress
Mg toward completion.
The State of lowa, through which this road rune, is
one of the richest agricultural sections in America. Its
large population, extending with surprising rapidity,
and its immense yield of grain, pork, wool and other ag
ricultural products, create a pressing demand for the
construction of this road, which affords the best possible
guarantee for the bondholders, especially as the line
runs through the wealthiest and most thickly populated
section of the State. ,
The road also runs through the rich and growing State
of Minnesota. Reference to the map of The United
States will show that it traverses the most enterprising
and growing portion of the West, and forms one of the
great trunk linis in direct communication with New
York, Chicago and St. Louis, being to the latter city
ninety miles nearer from Northern lota and all por
tions of the State of Minnesota than by any other road
now built or projected, and also the nearest route from
Central and Southern lowa.
the road is opened for local traffic as rapidly as con
structed, and thus RECEIVES EARNINGS ON ITS
COMPLETED SECTIONS GREATLY IN EXCESS
OF THE AMOUNT NEEDED TO PAY THE IN
TEREST UPON ITS BONDS BEFORE THE
'ROAD IS FIRISHED. The buyer of these Bonds is
therefore guaranteed, by a great 'business already in exist.
owe oaths route of the road, as well as by now current
earnings,. and has not to risk any of the contingencies
which alwayi attend the opening of joads in, a new an d
unsettled country.
A limited quantity only of these Bonds
are now offered at 95.
_After a thorough investigation of the abovo enter
prise, we recommend these Bonds as a first-class invest
,
nient,affording 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
