CITY BULLETIN.
Tint SA.:tingnittifin Batt .—The masked bill
of tlie , Sangerbtind came off at the Academy
of Music last night. Early iu the evening the
parquette circle, balcony and family circle
were filled With ladies and gentlemen, with
and without masks, in plain dress and in fancy
costume. The front of the balcony was fes
tooned With the colors of the North German
Confederation, with the coat-of-arms of the
United States and Pennsylvania on efielf side.
The stage was set with the usual scene from
the Sicilian Vespers. In front of the curtain
the word " Slingerbund" blazed brilliantly
from gas jets. The dancing orchestra was un
der the direction of Al r. Wm. G. Dietrich, and
the Promenade band was led by Mr. H. Ober
kirsch. Previous to the raising of the curtain
the audience was entertained by gymnastic
feats by the pupils of Prof. Lewis's Institute.
The grand carnival procas.sion was Well ar
ranged, and was composed of agreat variety
of characters. First came the Floor Mana
gers, in Turkish costume, and then the Com
mittee of Arrangements, in SpaniSh costume.
The gymnasts, formed into a pyramid, were
next, and were followed by the triumphal
car, upon which were seated.the Prince and
Princess Carnival (Htllebrand and Mrs. D—e).
Then followed different devfces, take-offs on
various things. " The Camden Bridge" was
represented by a man standing on each sidaof
the river holding a scarf, which was upheld
in the centre by a balloon: " The Productions
of Philadelphia Gas Works" were a (tinily
lighted street lamp with a lamplighter and
ladder beside it. " Fairmount Water Works"
was annul:Mire representation of the basin
drawn by two Polar bears, and at one corner
was a diminutive steam-engine pumping
water. " The Commercial Progress of Phila
delphia" was d pond containing three small
sailing-Vessels. Above this was a huge Quaker
hat with a steamship on top of it and labelled:
" A new Steamship Line between Philadel
phia and Liverpool." "The Metropolitan Po
lice" was a banner having painted upon it an
egg with a policeman's cap ;last visible from a
hole in the top. Perched on the egg was a
rooster with epaulettes, proclaiming " veto."
Beside the egg was a hen earnestly peering
into the hole. Under the hen were the letters
" tzey" (Henszey). A couple of big owls drew
a car upon which was seated an astronomer
having a large telescope. In the rear of this
was an excellenti , imitation of '
monument, inscribed "To Alex. Von
Humboldt." A handsome car drawn
by and surrounded by little girls, dressed in
white, representing the entrance!of the God
desses of Music and Pleasure into America,
was a very pretty affair and was much ad-.
mired. The Goddess of Liberty was drawn by
about a dozen Indians. She carried the Cuban
Republican fittg, and in front of her was a
Cuban, kneeling and praying for assistance.
Over the car was a boll inscribed "Proclaim
Liberty throughout the world." There was a
• out fifteen nooses, and sur-
roundl i d by French soldiers. Tne process' u
was lo g, and as it wound around the stage
the display was very fine. The dancing be
gan about half-past nine o'clock and was con
tinued until a late hour. The number of per
sons in costume was as large as at" any pre
vious masked ball given at the Academy. J.
J. Arnold was Master of Ceremonies, and L.
Ryser, G. Thomas, Jr., J. G. Thomas, G.
Glaeser and J. Griesheimer were Floor
Man _ers.

show the progress made in the introduction of
gas throughout the city since the works were
built.
The total amount of service-pipe laid since
1835 i 5,61,664 feet. The meters set number

THE NORTHERN DISPIENHART.—The fifty
second annual report of the Northern Dispem
sary of Philadelphia for the medical relief of
the poor has been received. The Dispensary
is located at N 0.603 Spring. Garden street, and
billee its foundation there has been a steady
annual increase in the number of patients
treated. The records show that the total
during its existence has , been 214,687. During
the past year the boundaries of the Dispensary
have been largely extended both north and
south, in consequence of the constant and in
creased number of applicants for medical aid
from those localities. Recently a lot, No. 610
Coates street, has been purchased for the
erection of a new and enlarged Dispensary
building which will fully meet the wants of
this growing and worthy charity. Upon this
point the report'says
" 'The erection of the new bailding'without
delay is required to give inereaseil facilities to .
meet the, demands by reason et' the great ex
tension of this Charity ; and, in the erection of
it, the Managers desire to ineorporate in its
iikaotical workings what has for many years

past engaged their serious .thought, namely,
thc. organization of some sanitari.mea.siires
for the prevention of disease. Iny_el wof this
"exhibit; we confidently appeal to the sympa
thies and aid of our citizens in behalf of the
entire completion of this work at an early
day. In addition to the above, the, current
expenses must be met, and we need, there
fore, not simply occasional donations, but an
increase of those in whom we have year
by
year depended to support the Institution."
The report of the Resident Physician for
the year ending December 1, 1869, shows that
the whole number of patients under the care
of the institution was 11,op,
Remaining under treatment from last year,
43; admitted since, 10,980. Of these, 10,083
were treated at the Dispensary Hall, and 940 •
at their homes, by the Attending Physicians.
The whole number cured, relieved and un
known, 10,896'; remaining under treatment,
66 ; dead, 61.
The prescriptions of the year number 18,118.
In the 'Lying-in Department there were
thirty-four cases recommended.
The following comprise the principal cases
presented during the year for surgical aid: Ab
scesses, 97 cases; Anchylosis of Joints, 9;
Burns and-Scalds, 35; Cancers, 11; Contusions

. THE TWELFTH WARD t! SCHOOL HOUSE.-
The immediate erection of the new school
house in the Twelfth Ward is a little uncertain
at present. The pressing want of such a
building has been frequently urged upon the
Board of Controllers and' City Councils within
the past few years, and finally, throughgreat
exertions upon the part of Mr. M. Hall Stan
ton, the Controller from the Twelfth Section,
the erection of the new school-house was
authorized. A lot on Noble street, below
Sixth, was pUrchased for cash and the money
was paid. Proposals for putting up the edifice
were received at the office of the Controllers
yesterday. The bids were as follows: Thomas
McCarty, $31,47.5; Decker & Miller, $34,000;
Charles C. Carman,s33,97o; in..Keas, $34,000;
-Francis McManus, $39,940; P. IL Somerset,
$34,797; Lippincott & Haines, $35,000; Geo.
H. Brinkworth, $30,850. Mr. Brinkworth, be
ing the lowest 'bidder; received the contract,
provided he accepts it in accordance with ex
isting ordinances: This is where the trouble
will arise. It seems that the appropriation
made by'City Councils is " to be taken out of
a loan to be-hereafter created." As no loan
has-been autiffiriZed, the appropriation is no
appropriation at all. The people of the Twelfth
Ward really need better school accommoda
tions, and City Councils should immediately
remove the difficulty in the way of supplying
the want.
The new school-house is to be three Stories
hi : h each story to be thirteen feet in the
clear. The wens are to oe - 77.7.'=.5 7 .=
brown stone, and from the top of the base to
the top of the third !leer of joists are to be
eighteen inches thick, thence to the top of the
ceiling joists in the class-rooms thirteen
inches, with piers. The walls of the stairways,
including the north and south walls, to be
18 inches - to the top of the ceiling joists.
Areh-stones are to be placed over all windoWS
and outside doors on the front aud to be radi
ated with smooth dressed faces. There are to
be four stairways leading to the front entrance
of the school-house. The class-rooms are to
be divided by glass partitions. •
LOCAL CHOWDER.—The Division of Sons of
Temperance at Gerniantown is called "Clear
Grit.' A building association in this city is
called the "All Right." Let both be true to
their names!.
The superintendents of the public squares are
anxious for that kind of weathertbat will give
to the walks the necessary dryness to enable
them to endure the pressure of the roll. A
few days more, and the squares will have put
on their green aprons; the dandelions will lift
their yellow heads like so many topazes in a
field of emeralds ; the sparrows will be comm .
bializing in their boxes, and young America
will again hunt up its wonted and long-wanted
hoop and skipping rope. Time certainly
Moves.
Rev. Dr. Beadle, ofthis city, is now an
LL. D. as well as a D. D.
A sudden mortality , has broken out in a cer
tain quarter of the city among the feline race.
It commenced last night about nine o'clock.
Its victims this morning numbered thirteen.
The bosom of every grimalkin in the neigh
borhood is now stricken with consternation
and amazement. The first indication of the
approach of the malady was the disruption of
a party of villainous old Tome, who assembled
to serenade a lady pussy, the property of a
spinster, aged forty-one. The first symptoms
of attack were an abdomenal contraction that
instantly set the victims to turning somer
saults. Our • informant also observed
a peculiar alteration of the key
in which they did up their "yowl
ing." Instead of rushing for catnip,
the gentleman says, ever; cat commenced
nipping Some other cat. 'The entire party
fought furiously. Each cat seemed impressed
with the idea that the cause of his qualms was
not a result of natural laws, but the result of
the malice of some brother cat. At eight
o'clock this morning, our informant sayS, there
were two cats dead upon the roof of ,an Out
house; four more were shockingly sick in an
adjoining yard, while the pestilent leader Of
the feline orchestra of the night before was
doing up his:last kicks in a neighboring ash
barrel. The cause of this mysterious malady
remains to be ascertained.
ST. PATRICK'S DAY.—To-morrow will be the
anniversary of the patron saint of Ireland. it
will be celebrated in Philadelphia, as it will be
allover the Avorld,by people who go in for Ire
land, and who bate snakes. At this writing
the skies portend a pleasant day. We truld,
that it may prove so. We repress an
inclina
tion to write a panegyric• upon the Saint in
question. The wind in this direction was
long since taken out ofthe sails of other folks
by that true Irishman and learned prelate,Rev.
Doctor Moriarty. To-morrow evening this
gentleman will leature at the Academy of
Music for the benefit of the House of the
Hood Shepherd. His subject will be " Ireland,
the - Apostle and the Nation." As the price of
tickets will be but fifty cents, the Academy
may as well make up its mind to bQ amply
filled. The Hibernia Society, as usual, hold
their annual dinner on this day. So does the
Celtic Association, of which the genial and
gentle Dr. R. Shelton McKenzie is the ever
pleasant President. The Hibernian draw
cork at 4P. M.,at the Continental. The Celtic
Association will introduce fish-knife to the
attention of salmon, at La Pierre House,
at precisely 7l P. M.
The reason that the, societies make no pre
parations for street parades on this day is be
cause the condition of the weather is as
likely , to be "falling" as it is during the
week set apart for their yearly meeting by our
friends, the Friends. hi New York , they do
this thing irrespective of the weather. The
sons of St. Patrick in Philadelphia take occa
sion to demonstrate their reverence for the
memory of their patron in another way.
Sr. MARY'S Hosyrrm...—The second annual
report of the St. Mary's Hospital of Phila.-
delphia, Frankford road and Palmer street,
under the care of the Sisters of St. Francis,
has been received. During the year 1809, 4F3
patients were treated in the Hospital and over
1,500 received aid in the Dispensary Depart
ment. Nearly all of the expenses were paid
and $15,000 additional have been paid on the
mortgage. There remains now to be paid
a mortgage debt of about SlO,OOO, which,
it is hoped, through the continued generosity
of friends as well as that of the charitable
public, will soon be liquidated. Of the 420
patients admitted during 1809, 108 paid board;
613 were recommended and paid for by the
St. Mary's Hospital Association, and 249 were
received and treated gratuitously. Mother
Mary Agnes, Superioress, in her report, says :
"The capaCity of the hospital is but eighty
beds, which is found to be too small for the
work that it is called upon to perform. Appli
cants for adMission are frequently ii,rosod, f or
want of room,- and it has been the constant
source of regret, during the past year '
that the
hospital ,y%5 not double or treble its present
size. We beg the friends of the institution
and the generous public to assist us in the
work of enlarging its capacity, and this to
enable us to let no poor and suffering creature,
be turned away without assistance."

TUB EIGHTH n account
of the attempt to fire the Store of James Mc-
Creight, No. 431 Not th Eighth street, appeared
B

THE BEE.N.NAN CASE.—The Coroner's in
quest in the case of Mary Brennan was con-
tinued to-day. Policemen Geo. H. Miller and
John McManus, of the Seventeenth District,
who were on duty in the neighborhood of
Seventh and Bedford streets, on Sunday
morning, were examined and testified that
they had no difficulty with any woman.
Neither did they know anything about any
beating.
Several other Seventeenth District Policemen
were present at the inquest, but the witness,
Mary Jane Schofield, failed to identify any of
them as the officers she said she saw beating
the deceased.
The investigation was concluded, and the
jury agreed upon the following verdict:
"That the said Mary Brennan came to her
death from intemperance, March 14th, 1870.
The evidence clearly proves that the deceased
was badly beaten on the night of March 12th
by police °dicers, to this jury unknown ; but
whether the said beating accelerated or did
not accelerate the death, the jury are unable
to determine."
AN EXTENSIVE MANUFACTORY.- Work
men are now engaged in digging the cellar for
an extensive building to be, erected at the
southwest corner of Twelfth and Brown
streets by Mr. William C. Baker for a gas fix
ture manufactory. The masons are also at
work on the foundation walls. • The now
building will be five stories iu height and will
front on Twelfth, Brown and Olive strest-i.
The walls' will be of fine pressed brick, and
the.new structure is to be made completely
fire-proof, brick and iron only 'being used in
its construction. When finished, which it is
expected to be some time next summer, this
Will be one of the handsomest and most sub
stantial Manufacturing establishments in the
city, and also a very valuable improvement to
the neighborhood in which it is located.

head of the little girl was severely cut. The
accused Was held in 1,000 bail for trial.
B. EMI," SToll3l.—For several hours previoni
to daylight this morning there wait a heavy
fall of rain. The water came down steadily,
and in perfect torrents. The streets were con
verted into rivulets, and in many localitieS
where the streets are low, cellars were over

MORE CARELEBSNESB.--Liellt. Sten:M.l9r, of
the Eighth District, reports live houses foutid
open during list night
ON TILE INCEEASE.—The ability to rine a
horse without being shaken into the condition
of dissolved gelatin is• something in every
way desirable. In a hygienic point of view it
is perhaps the best possible exercise. It is
recommended as especially remedial for con
sumptives ; while to the gastric fluids of the
dyspeptic's stomach it imparts allthe digestive
powers of a saw-mill or a threshing-machine.
We never think of Di Vernon without wish
ing that every lady reader of the BULLETIN
was the possessor of the equestrian accom
plishment ascribed to the pretty heroine of
Sir Walter Scott. Many Philadelphia ladies
possess it. We know those who swim as well
as ride, and who can shoot a pistol with an
aim as accurate as the same feat can be per
formed by ono of the opposite sex. The latter
is a matter of taste; the value of the former
acquirements will be disputed by no one. How
very many ladies are now learning to ride can
be seen in Broad street on any pleasant after
noon. - in a stroll there yesterday:we counted
couples by the score. In the retirement of
the country in summer, city ladies are often
placed amid such surroundings that a
daily ride is among the few means of recrea
tion that opportnnity permits them to enjoy.
The inability to do this with ease converts a
pleasure into atoil. How the horse feels upon
the subject any citizen can exactly tell, by un
dertaking to carry, from the sidewalk .to. his
store-room, a barrel of flour. For this reason
we presume the cultivation of horseback
riding is becoming more general. We last
evening saw an illustration of this fact at the
riding-school of Mr. Eugene De Kiet%
Mr. The school is in Dugan street, west
of Fifteenth and below Spruce. The exten
sive area was brilliantly lighted. A band of
music was present, and seine fifteen' couples
the pupils and alumni of Mr. DeKietter's
school—gave ample evidence that to ride a
horse in a proper manner is as much an ac,-
Complishment as the art of embroidering a
sky-colored .dog upon a purple ottoman-. The_
horses seemed to enjoy it as much a.t.. the
riders. These animals are educated. Many
pupils own their own animals. They not only
do this, but keep them at the school., Mr.
DeKielfer keeps a horse hotel' as well as a
riding-academy. The aniatals that he per-
sonally provides are gentle as kittens, though
without a kittens' pranks.: They tknow
well when their rider- is a first-lesson pupil 'US
they know that for dinner they get OheSter
county oats. ,
some of the lady , graduates of Mr. Do K
academy are eicelledd by no amateur eques
triennes in the country. The art is not difficult
to acquire. What we know is that every lady
who next summer proposes to ruralize will
exult in the acquisition of the art of comfort
ably and gracefully oottesing upon a well-bred
horse.
CITY NOTICES.
Roma DECOBATIONS.—There is nothing that
preadds more to tho comforts of a home, or that bettor
sses the the taste of its occupants, than Carpeting. In•
deed,the degree of [tallith: beauty that has been attained
in this department Is wonderful ; that a man while
ho may not be rich enough to indulge in costly pictures
on the ss ails may, nevertheless, gratify his taste for
genuine ett in the indistionsable covoringe of his floors,
and ho may do this at a very moderate cost. We have
been led to these remarks by a calmed examnination of the
splendid spring importatione of our great Carpet Ware
house, Messrs. McCallum, Crease St Slottn; N 0.509 Chest
nut street. The fact that this is oleo of the largest manii•
factoring firms, as well as the largest importing houses
here, gives .it extraordinary facilities ; and from their
present magnificent stock, and the greatly redacts] prices
at which they aro selling, they are evidently determined
to give their customers the full benefit of these facilities.
We may state that among other features of their present
immense retail stock are included one thousand plecoi of
English Bruesele, and ono thoutiaud pieces Crossley Ta
pestries, most of which are of extra quality, now and
elegant styles, being their own privillto patterns, and de
signed expressly for their trade. We do not believe that
this stock of Carpetlngs is excelled, if it is equaled, ill
the United States.

OENTRAL RAILROAD OF lOWA,
At 95, Free from Tax.
This railroad runs 234 miles north and south
through the finest and most thickly settled
portion of the magnificent State of lowa, and
the only link wanting to eonnect the railway
centres at St. Louis and St. Paul by an un
broken line, 147 miles shorter than auy.exist
ing route. This road offers many advantages.
The building of the railroad north front St.
Paul to Duluth, at the head of Lake Superior,
where five railroads will soon centre—the con
struction of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
already, begun—and the rapid develoPirient of
a new and productive country in Minnesota
and the Northwest, must furnish a large
Southern traffic. As the tip Per Mississippi is
frozen over during the Winter,and its naviga
tion is often uncertain during the Summer,
from low water, this road 'must haVe at all
times a largo amount of transportation, and a
monopoly of the business at some seasons of
the year. Its connections with other lines in
terested by mutual ownership or running ar
rangements, will give it almost the entire
north and south travel between ite terminal
points and their vicinity. ,
This road will have a great advantage" over
any other Western line in carrying the best
quality of coal from where it is abundant in
Southern lowa to Northern lowa and Minne
sota, where none.is to.be found, and in secur
ing return freights of lumber, for Which the
demand is very great., '
'Forty-six miles of the line are jest com
pleted, and eighty-eight miles more are
graded. An abundant supply of iron, ties,
and other materials has been contracted for.
The Company have a large and daily incroa.s
lag aurplui of money on hand, and the stock
subscriptions, and the sales of bonds, give
them ampfe means to push the work forward,
so that, with favorable Weather, it is expected
that the whole line will be completed this
season. •
SECURITY OF THE INVESTMENT.
So far as we can learn, every completed
railioad in the Northwest is not only earning
the interest on its bonds, but a dividend on
its stock, and we believe the CENTRAL
lOWA must occupy an equally strong 'finan
cial position.
The amount of Bowls to be issued is but
,c:16,000 per mile,or less.tbau four mlllions,in all
Of which over One Million have
already been Sold.

They are only issued upon each section of the Road as
as fast as the same is completed and 111 successful opera

expetded on the Road. Efghty•three miles are about
completed and equipped, and already show large calla
logs ; and the remainder of the line Is rapidly progress
ing toward completion.
The State of lowa, through which this road ruai. is
one of the richest agricultural sections iu America. Its
large population, extending with surprising ratddill.
and its immense yield of gre'ln, pork, wool and other, ag
ricultural products, create a pressing demand for the
construction of this road, which affords the bast 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
Minnesota. Reference to the map of the United
States will show that it traverses the most enterprising
,and growing Portia* of the West, and forms one of the
great trunk. lines in direct communication with New
York, Chicago and Sr. Louis, being to the latter city
tlons of the State of 'Minnesota than by any other road
