THE COURTS.
«o Excom for Porjnry.
o‘uAi!TKESKSBio^rs^-Judge-Paxson.— This
moroing, upon a motion to reconsider the
sentence of Henry Keicbard, who pleaded
guilty to a charge 'of perjury, Judge Paacaon
e J^ r rBt3«n°g l> tbe >n fact that the defendant
•pleaded guilty to the charge of perjury, and
EarWea sentenced "to seven a ■
motion made for a reconsideration of sen
tence. the judge says: The defendant; became
bail before me for one Catherine WTaite, who
•was charged with arson. The District At
torney was present under notice, and exam
ined iiim lawfully under oath touching Ins
competenev to go hail. He gave his name, “
statement of the.real estate he owned, and
produced the deeds showing the title to be re
corddd, and stated that the property was clear
of all incumbrance. His story was perfectly
straight, apparently truthful, and I accepted
him as bail, which was duly entered, and Mrs.
Waite released from prison. Within an hour
Rafter his examination before-me, thowhole
Story told by Keicbard was shown to be false.
The namo he gave was ah assumed one.
He did not own a foot of ground any where,
and the deed he produced was borrowed foi
the occasion. A bench warrant wm mrue
diateiy issued for the reTarresr of Mrs. Waitp,
and aisoa warrant against Keicbard, apomthe
charge of periury. Both of the parties, were
arrested the same evening, '
Keicbard pleaded guilty, and was sentenced,
as above stated, and a few days thereafter
Mrs. Waite was tried upon the charge of
atson, and acquitted. I am now asked to re
consider Bernhard's sentence, became:
1. Mrs. Waite, having been acquitted by the
iurv. it appears that he committed the perjury
in becoming bail foTan innocent person; and
2. That he was a mere dupe of other per
sons and was induced to commit the crime
under the belief or assurance that he could
make a large sum of money by the transac
no lam unable to see the force of these
sons. His offence had nothing to do with the
guilt nr innocence of Mrs. Waite. His per
iury is Inst as •ocoplete, and the crime as
great as thonghshb had been convicted and
sentenced for the arson. It is sufficient that
she was charged with a high crime, one that
in some of the States is yet punished with
death, and the defendant attempted to taka
the prisoner out of the hands of the Court . by .
means #f perjury. He succeeded fora lone
period, and -but for. .the vigilanoe and
promptness of Assistant-Distnot Attor
ney Pratt and the Court Clerk, Wil
_ liam _ Galton, .would .. have been—entirely
successful, and it is no palliation of his oftence
that .Mrs. Waite was acquitted of the crime
with which she was charged; and if there
were any force' in tills view of the case, we
must not not lose sight of the .fact that the
evidence upon the trial of the arson bore very
hard upon Mrs. Waite. I have no doubt the
jury acted from conscientious motives and
upon the best light they had. 1 desire to..cast
no censure upon them, but I am free to say
that if they had come to a different conclusion
the Court would have had no hesitation in
sustaining their verdict. The case was tried
with great care and ability upon the part of
the Assistant District Attorney Pratt,
and no point was omitted in
the proofs laid before the jury
or in the argument enforcing those facts. .The
Commonwealth officers did their whole duty,
in this as in every other case which they have
tried 't>Qfyyr*» in<*. nut it is mo3t unrea>9QDaibi6
to hold that because Mrs. Waite’s jury were
not satisfied of her guilt, beyond all reasonable
doubt; that we should have any question of
Keichard’s guilt, when his perjury was com
mitted in open court, detected within an hour,
and stands confessed by ilia plea. _
It may be that Keicbard was the dupe of
some one else in this matter. But the man
who could stand up in open Court, as this man
did, and go through his false story without the
moving of a muscle or changing of counte
nance, can hardly be a novice in crime. I
watched his face closely at the time, and I
never saw an instance of such, perfect cool
ness and assurance in the commission of such
an offence. That he has been disappointed in
the result is possible, and even probable. But
if men will allow themselves to be put for
ward as “dupes” in such transactions as this,
it is time they understood the 'severe penalty
they will havo to pay in case of detection and
conviction. A man who commits perjury ior
pay is hardly entitled to merciful considera
tion as a dupe, or for the reason that his crime
has not been as profit able as he'anticipated.
This man’s punishment was heavy, but his
offence was heavy also. He hds not even this
poor excuse of being tempted by sdlt-interest
to swear falsely in a proceeding, to which he
was a party, it was committed in a bold at
tempt to obstruct ‘Jthe administration of public
Justice. And because it was so committed,
and because this offence'has become so com
mon as to require prompt and severe treat
ment, I administered lo tniß defendant the full
measure of the law. It falls heavily upon him,
and I would gladly lighten the blow if I could
do so consistently; but the interests of society
x{! q U rre-that this sentence,-whioh-was imposed
for its protection, should be enforced. Kule
discharged.

Snulmry Measure.
Some time ago Mr. Henry Martiwj of d.Olcdt
Council, introduced a resolution itmt.rdcti tig
the Committee on Police to inquire add report
' upon the propriety of establishing bath-lioitHes
where poor people coiUd indulge in tlm luxury
of a bath free or expense. In Common .Coun
cil on Thursday last) the Committee made a
favorable report dll the project, ami au dtdi
u»nce appropriutiup 815,000 to carry, it into
efl'ect was passed. The bill did not Teach
select Council, but when it comes up at the
next meeting it ought to be concurred in
promptly and without opposition. ' The. ex
periment of: free, public baths was tried; in
Boston in 1860, and soon met with great favor.
A large number of persous—men, women aud
• ~ children—arailtid themselves-of the Opportu
nity of taking a.hath, and additional bath-
houses had tone 'provided every : year’since.
At the present time there are,'fifteen in exis
ence. ■ 7 ■ ; •.
Wbtre the Dstbn arc to be tiocateil.
The plans for the baths in this city have not
yet been fully matured, but, it is presumed,
will be arranged by .the Committee on Police.
The appropriation made will be. sufficient to
establish four baths, and it is proposed to To
. cate two upon the Delaware and twh on the
Schuylkill. The exact situation of the houses
has not yet been determined upon.,
The Boston plan.
As it is probable that the Boston plan will
bo adopted, a statement in regard to the ope
rations of the baths in that city will not be
oiit of place here. The great success of the
free baths in 1866 led to the appointment by
the City Councils in the following year of a
Joint Standing Committee on Public Bathing,
and the matter has since been under charge of
such a committee. : In 1860 there were 15
houses in operation. Of these 10 were for
men and boys, and 5 for women and girls.
Each has a • Superintendent. The appropria-
tioirmade-bythe-Citj-Couiidle-forthis-de
purtment for the financial year 1869-70 was
$20,500. Of this amount, however, 515.000
were for building new houses and for repairs
and alterations to the existing houses. The
report of the committee states that. “ the in
crease.in the number of bathers in 1869 over
the previous year amounted to 181,457—m0re
than twenty per cent.; and the increase over
the year 1860, when the baths were first
opened, amounts to about one hundred and
twenty-live per cent. Upon J Sucha statement
no comment is needed to show the groat sani
tary work which is accomplished by tUe es
tablishment of these houses. ”

The following statement shows the opera
tions of the baths since they were established:

The baths generally remain available from
June Ist to September 30th. The regulations
provide that the batlis for males, shall be open
on workdays from 5 A.'ll. to 9P. M., and on
Sundays fioin 5 A. M. to 9A. M.' Those for
females are,open on-week days from 6 A. M. to
8 P. M.. and on Sundays freim 6 A. H. to 9 A.
M. Each bather has to provide his own tow
els and soap. Female bathers are required to
furnish suitable bathing-dresses. Those de
“siringTowclsTum obtain themaif the Superin
tendent at three cents each. Each Superin
tendent has full charge ot hia premises, and
authority to withhold the facilities from all
not conforming to-the roles, and he is required
to render every assistance to applicants for
baths. No smoking, profanity or noisy con
versation arc allowed on the premises, and a
policeman is in constant attendance to pre
serve order and enforce the regulations. All
questions of priority in bathing or Of use of
dressing-Tooms are referred to the Superin
te.udeut, whose decision is final.
t he Iteiult as a Sanitary Measure.
The result of the establishment of the baths
in Boston is thus Btated in the report oi the
Committee of Wouncils for 1868:
“ The experiment of the baths how for two
yearsmoiutaiued, as a sanitary measure, hu
been abundantly endorsed bv the press, physi
cians of every school, and all who-have given
any attention to the subject The remarkable
degree of healthfulness which has marked the
city for this period may, we think, in a great
measure be attributed to the daily ablutions of
so large a proportion of our population at
these baths, we have had a pre-eminently
c/ccn,' city aud - to. this, creditable- result this
great public measure has largely contributed.”
The example of Boston has been followed
by Charlestown and Cambridge, Massachu
setts ; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Cincinnati,
■St. Bonis, and, on a small scale, in this city,
by the Rev. Mr. Long, at the Bedford Street
Mission. - Mr. Long’s experience shows that
his baths have a very beneficial effect upon
the health of the Bedford street distriat in the
summer season, and the number of persons
applying for baths is larger than can he ac
commodated. With these facta in view, the
appropriationby City Councils is very credit
aolc, and will meet with the approval of the
entire community.
Catholic Work in West Philadelphia.
—ln Chestnut street, above Thirty-seventh, is
an excellent school. It is, of course,
free to all. Within.a square distant from it,
by tho exertions of Rev. Father Martin, has
been erected a parochial school-building that
greatly relieves from over-crowding the school
. we.first named. The building in question is of
pressed brick, three stories in height. Its en
trances are of ample width, and its staircases
are of cqrrespond-iug-dimeusiO-08.--IhelvariDus
"rooms upon each floor are separated by parti
tions'of sash,at a moment’s notice susceptible
of being so put out of sight as to throw three
apartments into one.
The enterprise of Father Martin was under
taken in tho face of many discouragements.
The ladies of the neighboring Convent of the
Holy Child Jesus most kindly came to his as
sistance. They undertook the superintend
ence of tho, female department of the school.
They not only dill this; they have conducted
~ its management-from that (fay to the present.
They propose to continue to do so for an in
definite period to come. The sisters do this
entire work,. Whatever may be the difference
in instruction or precept, our reporter did not
venture upon the liberty of inquiring. What he
did see was that upon tho entrance of a visitor
no child looks from slate or book to stare at
the iulruder. The school has been open but
for a few weeks. At this momentum boys’
department is occupied by two hundred aud
ninety pupils, and that of the girls by but a
few less. The hoys’ department is in the charge
of Miss M. E.-Hennessey,- Principal; Miss A.
M. Boylo, Miss K. Hagan, Miss M. Metcalfe,
Assistants,
In the girls’ department are about sevontv
>tive little.toddlers, of from three to five years
old. For their benefit has been constructed
across one end of their room a platform, con
sisting of successive steps. Upon these the
little ones sit. ' The instruction imparted to
them takes, principally, thp shape of object
teaching. That of the seniors is as elaborate
.as that of tho most exacting toxt-book-conld
requiro. The prominent features of the build
ing are its marvelous neatness and its perfect
' ventilation. Its floors are white as the decks
of the flag-ship of a .fleet.. The difference in
the discipline Detween it and the general pub
lic school is that some of the pupils in it pre
serve bettor order, and that in tho work of
each, hour, of {he five, during which the daily
studies are prosecuted, short religious exer
cises are introdudeil. '
To’the vicinity of its erection the building
is no drawback. It forms part and parcel of
the ground upon which, also, is located the,
• Church of Father Martin; ;
Suspicious.— This morning, between four
and live,o’clock, tlireo men wore seen to en
ter the yard- of a new house, lit Ninth and
Watkin streets. They acted in a suspicious
manner. A policeman camo up and arrested
,pne of the, fellows. The prisoner gave his
name as .Tames Gorman;, Ho is said to be one
of the Schuylkill- Bangers. ” On his person
were found a pistol, kuife and blackjack. He
■will have a hearing, this afternoon; at tho
.Central Station. , ■ ’ it :r.
IIiADEEPHI
-'PitusKiiviKoi.ili'iiitSH; KauiTßewEor some
time pasta building Jibs been . completed in
this vicinity of which the purpose, is the pre
servation during, the winter of the summer
fruits. Thus far no very especial use has been
made of it, beyond the storing of. foreign of
ferings of Poinona when hap
pened to. he glutted by previous .arrivals.
" Should: circumstances warrant it, the place -
will ho prepared this season for the storage of
fruit from,California, as well as for that pro
duccd'at borne, ".Vi..
The idea upon which these fruit-preserving
buildings is'constructed ftbaaed upon a very
simple principle. The man with the most uni
formly even temper lives the longest, just os
the mildly-regulated i?fe lasts longer than the
one that .blirt.es by fits and starts.' That sum
mer fruits decay is because the temperature in
which they are kCpt ia/itidueive of dacomposi- ;
tion." l That the liatoe''grapes, perishing in six j
dayain ateffineratiire of eighty degrees, can (
he presorved for an indefinite period in a tern- :
perature of forty-live, was understood by ;i
simple people'lOng anterior to its compreheu- ii
sion t>y the savaus. |
We can illustrate this by a local anecdote, il
It is thacase, over again, of the peasant child j
carrying from the study of Sir Isaao Newton ~
The borrowed niifjtrofcoal, upoaastratum of”
ashes first placed npon her palm. “Withall i,
my philosophy,” exclaimed the sage, in admi- ;
ration of the expedient, “ I never wohldhave !
thought of this.. • -. ’
Before leaving New York on one of his
j trips across tlje ocean, Captain James West, :
of tbe was presented by a lady with i
a bouquet of rosebuds, it was in tbe shape j
of a pine-apple—each stem perfect! add each ; j
separate and distinct, .but of nearly. • cor,res-
Sonding size. The second day after leaving ;
'ew York, the Steward requested permission ;
to preserve the flowers until the ship reached
Southampton. Without giving a second
thought to the matter, Captain West con
sented. The steamer was thirteen days upon
the voyage. ‘ This included .'the timospent In
touching at Liverpool. When Captain West i
came on board, on the day .after reaching;
Southampton,the Steward said: .' -;r • , r '
“ Captain, will you take your roses ?”
“ What roses?” , ;
“ The roses, sir, that I put away the second!
day out from New York.”
And do you mean to say thatthose flowers
are in existence?”
“Ido, sir,” said the Steward. “What is
more, sir, they haven’t changed a particle
since I took them off your table. I hung them,,
stem upward, in. the ice-house, I’ll have them 1
here in two minutes.” ~ ■ ;
The Steward vanished in the direction indi
cated. He reappeared with the bouquet in his
hand. In an atmosphere of about forty-five
degrees, steadily preserved, the caleces of the
floral gems were as- tightly closed as when
first consigned to the keeping of theihfelliotent
tiersoninquestion., Captain West tells us That
Tie presented the bouquet to a lady with whom
he was sojourning. That be was sincere in his
statement that the roses had grown in New
York ha had some difficulty in assuring her.
That they had been procured in Liverpool
was tbe idea with wnich she was first im
pressed.
Placed in water by Captain West, the petals
soon expanded, and’diflused an odor so pow
erful that the windows were raised to dilate
it by external air. English roses, says the
Captain.have not the.volume of perfume ex
haled from our own. The emblems of York
and Lancaster areas beautiful as ours, hut don’t'
possess one-half the scent. , ,
What we are coming at ft, that this fruit-;
preserving house on the river,- near Brides
burg, is built with hollow walls, filled in with
charcoal and tanbark. Its mansard-like roof
is stored with ice. Its temperature ftwregu-'
lated as to vary with no change of the exter
nal atmosphere! We have eaten grapes and
peaches from it that were twelve months old.
Ho far as we were able to discriminate, the
fruit was as fresh as if the vine or the
tree had newly yielded it. We under
stand —that an—association of gentlemen
are about to erect another ami much
larger one, ana to complete it ijn
time for tbe maturing of the peas and the
plums of the Pacific coast. Whether the mat
ter will be pushed. to completion, or aban
doned, we do not yet know- What we do
know is that the plum in these parts at least,
lb aim os* an obsolete production. The trees
blossom andbear fruit- The cnrculio imprints
his crescent signet upon tliree-fourths of all
that are yielded, and strews them valueless
upon the ground. As a market fruit the plum
in some seasons is scarcely seen, -The golden- 1
surfeit that-you getin midland France for a ■
few sous would often cost in Philadelphia as ;
many dollars. -By drenching the trees with a -
foul mixture of tobacco or whale-oil soap a
growth is sometimes spared to an assiduous :
private cultivator who must produce plums
aud doesn’t care for their cost. To all others
the greengages and the egg-plum are virtually i
interdicted luxuries. ;
A crop of rare pears, like- the-Bonne de Jer
’ sey, is a crop that brings to its producer very
argentiferous results. The fruiterers here sell
them at prices that should long since have set
professional cultivators to thinking. These |
choice varieties are offered in quantities so |
small fhat the figure of from fifteen to thirty
cents a piece for them is at all times com
manded. "
If an asseeiation can successfully preserve
for the table these perishable fruits, the money
realized by the enterprise will be grudged to

Confiscating Shoes. —Before Aid. Car
penter, yesterday afternoon, there was ar
raigned a queer specimen of the colored race.
He was extremely black, and his countenance
was of the true African type- He was tall
and lank, while the policeman having him in
charge was a short, stout Irishman. The con
trast wap very ludicrous and even drew a
smile from his Aldermanic majesty. When
asked his name, the prisoner responded:
“Dey call me John Brown, now: but when I
libbed in Souf Caroliny I was Black Bill.”
The policeman stated' the case. Black Bill
had made love to a pair of gaiters which were
■ hanging in tront of a store, and when ar
rested he assaulted the policeman.
\Aldernian—You. will have to find hail in the
sum of *BOO for larceny and assault and battery.
Prisoner —Say, boss, aint I Eot some rights
now? I)e Fifteenth Commandmentliah passed,
an’ I‘se a citizen.
Alderman—What lias that got to do with
your stealing? Good citizens don’t generally
appropriate, other .people’s property.
Prisoner—Gen. Sherman did,an’ I guess he’s
a good citizen. He jus’ appropriate dis ’ere
nigga, when rriassa had run away.
Alderman—You were confiscated. ‘
Prisoner—Ben I jist con—con —contested
dese shoes. Be mail wasn’t about, so I took
what X wanted.
Alderman—Why did yon strike the officer?
Prisoner—l’se a citizen, and don’t want to
he interfered with. He’s a servant of the
people. I’se one of the people, now. Massa
licked me, an I jis lickedhim. He jis wanted
a little ehas—chas—chas—[scratching his wool].
What’s dat big word de white folks say ? On
yah—ha! ha!—sashaying.' [Chastising' was
meant, we presume].
Alderman—Officer,, here is your commit
ment. Take away the prisoner.
An Ungrateful Scamp.— Johfl Sehibbe
aped nineteen, a German, who speaks French
fluently and plays the piano, came to this city
about eight months ago. For the past seven
months he has made his ‘home with John
-tscbneider,4n-tke-reair-'of_No-311Bace street—
Mr. Schneider and his wife both work hard to
make a living, and during the past year have.
Managed to save abd&t $lOO, Sehibbe has
never been asked to pay any board, as he al
ways seemed to be poor. -XIo-has frequently
said, however, that he expected to get some
money from his sister, and then ho would, pay
Mr. Schneider for his kindness. Yesterday'
Sehibbe was missed, and it was discovered!
that Mr. Schneider’s trunk had been.bi'oken
open and ransacked. Everything of any value
Was taken: -Among the property stolen-were
three sovereigns anil a new, $2O note! With
- the latter the- thief’Tigged-himself-out-iu-a : -
new suit of clothes at a Market street clothing
house. .The ungrateful fellow, has not „yet
been found, hut the police are looking for him.

In response to the call of the Mayora ni\p»-
ber.of.the^prominent Citizens bf Philadfelplita ;
assembled at his oflice, this afternpon, to. take ,

iiicbmond calamity.! .' .", , ' i
The ineating was oallod to order »j Wm, V.,
McKean, Esq. ■ ■
Hon. t>. M. Fox, Mayor of the "eity, was
then chosen President, and Caleb 1 Cope and
. Chas. H, Rogers, Secretaries. ■
““TMaydr Fox,"upon taking the chair, satdThaET
Philadelphia; had always; enjoyed a good!
reputation for generosity and. liberality in
rendering assistance in times of distress, and
it seemed to him that some action should be '
taken fdr the relief of . the people of Rich
mond. Many families there have been orip
pied by being deprived of The natural care of,
a father or a brother, and there comes to us a ’
cry which he felt sure will meet with a gene-.
roue response. He then read tbe letter of Miss
Van Low and the despatch from the Secretary!
jf the Commonwealth, printed above. He ’
had also received papers which give the dv- '
tails of the lamentable disaster!' Sixty persons'
had been instantly killed, and of tfiat number
not Over tiiu or twelve were in good eirciim
stances. The wounded number between oue ,
and two hundred, and are made up of men in j
ordinary life—hard-working men, some being ;
policemen—some being' colored and Some!
white; The condition of these people calls for ;
our fullest sympathies.
Rev. H. A. Boar dm an alluded to the burn-;
ing of the Richmond Theatre about sixty ,
years ago, and said that the same beautiful ■
and hospitable city ft now overwhelmed with
another fearful calamity. The suffering there
appeals to. our. patriotism, our Christianity,
and our humanity. We can recognize no dis- ;
. tinction, but only the -tgpmmqn bond which;
binds us as . countrymen. He . felt sure that
Philadelphia on tins occasion, as on many
other, similar occasions, and especially five.
years ago, when the South was crushed and
Hufforingfromfamine.willstepforward with
a generous hand. Mr. -Boaraman then read
the following:

Local Chowder.— The streets to-day ex
hibit their usual brilliance. Fine weather,
blue sky and prettily-dressed lathes make up
the picture.
For a little basket of strawberries our re
porter yesterday disbursed jitst 40 cents. 7 The
basket contained ten half-decayed berries; the
lower half was tilled with cotton. Whether
the dealer was aware of the faet, we don’t
know. As they were packed in the South,
perhaps he wasn’t.
Rev. Father McOonomy is now rector of the
Cathedral. He has long acted as the-Bishop’s
socius and chancellor. Father McCouomy is
a Lancasterian. ‘
Any one returning to the counter of this
office a lost note-case, containing railroad pa
pers of no use save to the owner, whose name
they hear, will receive ten dollars for his trou

whatever.
John W. Frazier, Esq., contractor for build
ing the new school-house in the Fifth Ward,
located on Third street, above .Lombard, has
ah extra large force of men at work. The
first floor of joists has bSen laid, and all tho
doors and window frames set. When eom
pietedethe building will be an ornament to
the neighborhood!
The world is made up of all kinds of people.
The latest personal eccentricity we noticed
was this morning illustrated in the endeavor
by an elderly lady to set her watch by the
indices presented by a mariner’s compass iu
the window of Mr. John McAllister, on
Chestnut street.. The time, as.she walked
away, was about half an inch past North-
Northeast. The good lady resides in the
vicinity of Mullica Hill, N.IJ. The name of
her “ darter ” is Jerusba Jane.
The markets this morning looked very
cheerful. Spring lamb, asparagus and salads
are so abundant that prices are at (least ten
per cent, lower than the-figures of a week
ago. By tlie purveyors for restaurants the
supply of spring chickens thismorning was
very early exhausted. For folks [who enjoy
veal the present is the best jlme to indulge.
Like niany other things, veal is in the best
condition when it is most abundant. Upon
the tables of restaurants and hotels it is very
rarely seen. As the basis for “stock” for
soup, hotei stewards continually require it;
ujipn their' hills of fare, we notice, it is rarely
seen. For cutlets this morning the price was
23a25 cents per pound. Beef holds its owu.
The suavity of the steer is all very well: what
he declines to do is to sell you his sirloins for
less tbati 2tia2B cents a pound. Upon the par
■value of his rump he is equally airy. Twenty
cents a pound is the price, at which he, this
morning, disposed readily of his steaks. South
ern tomatoes are more plentiful. That they
don’t sell well is because they ain’t superior,
even if equal,to the home-grown article in air
tight cans. Asparagus brings sixty cents to a
dollar a hunch—according to the greenness of
-the-buyer-anit the-verdancy of the-asparagus.
For butter, sixty'cents a pound was this
morning’s figure, while eggs per dozen fluc
tuated all the way from 23 to 50 cents.
. Wanted .a . Situation.— This morning a
short, clumsy Irishman, with an exceedingly
red face, stepped into the Mayor’s office, auu,
approaching Mr. Gallagher, the Messenger,
bawled out, “Is Mr., Fox in?? “ Yes,” was
the response of Mr. Gallagher. The following
conversation then ensued: - ■
Irishman—“ I want to.see.Miy Fox ”
, Messenger—“He is engaged, sir. You can’t
.see_.hjjm-aaw,’.L_
■ Irishman—“l must seo him; I voted for ■
him, shul'e, and'don’t see why I can'tsee him.”
Messenger—“He is engaged,”
Irishman—“l was here a Week ago, and
want a sitteashun. I can’t afford- to stay hero
and spend my money without doiug something.
I must have a sitteashuu. I always vote the
Democratic ticket.’.’ ,
Messenger—“ If that is all you want, you'
might as well leave.” i V f," - -

loom much faster tljaß'be 1 entered, iti

Stolb a Boat.— Thomas Mellon was before
Aid. Kert this morning, upon the charge of
having stolen a boat: valued at S5O; belonging

found in the possession of Mellon. The ac
cused was committed for a further hearing on

the third-story room of a house at Second and
Coatee streets this morning, and helped him
self to address valued at 20 cents. He was ar
rested,- and Alderman Toland held him in
5000 hail. This small theft will cost the county
several dollars.
Fatal Accident.—Whltely MeKniglit,
aged 17 years, residing on Btley street, in
Manayunk, was killed by being caught in the
carding-machine at Behotield’s mill to-day.
Suicide.— George Brown, aged 60, residing
at No. 4409 Wood street, in Manayunk, Com
mitted suicide by cutting his throat, .this
morning.
A Desirable Country Skat.—ln' another
column will be found an advertisement offer
.ingJbraale. a very handsome country, seat on,
Gray’s lane, near Marshall road. West Pblla-:
delphia. The site of this place gives, to per
sons desiring a country residence a rare chance
to p'roeure one which WilTbe entirely satisfac
tory. The improvements upon this property
are a mansion-house, stable, coach-house, ten
ant-house, ice : honse; laundry,:hot-housb, bll-"
liard-room, ten-piß alley, all in perfect order.
Shade arid fruit trees, grape-Yin.es, &c., and
the grounds in-a high state of cultivation. We
assure the public that the representations
made in the adverti&meht'are exactly correct,
and without a particle of -exaggeration:--.The;
terms are easy and the. situation is such that'
ready access cari.be had to. the business section ,
bf the city. ' We'recommend the matter to
those who have money to invest in this way,;
Brao and Holdpast.— Wniie the value of

nut, above Sixth street, there is neither boast
ing nor blowiug.'The bargains that yon get’s
there, through the entire range of gentlemens’
clothing,very gTalifyingly tell their own story.
A well-made suit of clothes, of good material,
that costs but ten dollars, tells its own story.
So does a nice spring outside coat, at the ridic
ulous low figure of from five to seven’ dollars.
The stock of Rockhill & Wilson is eminently:
attractive.. Ifs ofi'erings are adapted to ngcket
beoks of every size, and to tastes of erery cle
eree. The custom department is replete with
Die summer offerings of London and Paris.
The corps of cutters employed are masters of
their business. That the trade of Messr*.
Rockhill & Wilson is so extensive is because
their study is to make you; a' permanent, in
stead of a transient customer. Once deposit
your measure, and your apparel can be sent
to any part of the world. The Emporium of
Spring Attractions is certainly Great Brown
Hall.
Temperance , Meeting.— Quite a large
meeting of the friends of the'eause of tempe
rance was held last evening, in the Green Hill
Presbyterian Church, Girard avenue, above
Sixteenth street. This was the second of a
series Of meetings held under the auspices of
the Yo.ung People’s Association. The meet

pood, and have awakened a deep interest in
the subject of temperance. Addresses were
made by Thomas M. Coleman, Esq.; Gen. E.
M. Gregory, Rev: Sr Clark,-of Illinois; Wm.
Moran, Esq.,and Rev. A. A. Willlts.
TnE Natatorium.— The summer season
