the whole issues of the Board has been 8114,763, and the
balance in the Treasury at the end of the year, 814 62f.
The Presbyterian Publication Committee hero pub•
billed sixty-nine new books, of which fifty-four ar •
bound volumes. - Since they ear 1385, the work of . pub
lishing, and circulating has been progressing steatitly•
and the results haVe been cheering and encouraging.

and lively Sabbatlesehool literature,. fitted t intereir

W bile your Committee believe that the Beard of P tit.-
lication and the Publication Committee hare dyne all itt
their power to fulfill the trust eounnitted to them. they -
are eonvioced at the same time that they have not 1, 'en
able to accomplish all that iti.required of them by time
pressing wants of the country.' We do inlet that tic
newly smiguo ized Board, of the •Reunited Churches will
Ibe tiO bitfitain6d by ministers, Sabbath School teachers
:moll congregations, that it could e tible-to-do-vastly more_
trffin the separated agencies accomplish.
o find that the last General Assembly authorized the
Presbyterian Publication Committee at its discretion to
employ a general agent to visit the churches and Salm
bath.schoole, end to bring them into connection with
the committee's work,and devote himself to the cause of
Sabbath-school extension and' to the promotion of
higher efficiency in our Sabbath-scboole generally. In
coneequence of the prospective reunion of the two great
branches of the Presbyterian churches, the oommittee
did not take positive action on this proposal; but it is
clear that they are deeply impressed with its great im
portance.
Di view of the considerations thus brought before
'them, your Committee invite the attention of the newly -
organized Board to the following points :
1. We recommend the Board to give special atm
prominent attention to dabbath-school literature and to
its introduction into Sabbath-schools, and that if it le.
deemed wise it employ a special agency for this end.
2. We recommend that the Board, at as early a date a:
ymessible,consider the propriety of establishing A Depart
ment of Sabbath Schools, whose office shall 130 to pm,
mote the number and efficiency. of Sabbath school- ,
throughout the congregations of the Presbyterian
Church.
3. We recommend that the excellent Sabbath Schoo
Visitor should be circulated snore widely than it Imas
hitherto been. and that the pastors and churches shoed
'exert themselves to secure this end.
— 4. -- We - recommend that the two publications, the " Re
cord" and the" Presbyterian Monthly" be merged it,
one, and that measures be devised and adopted to hat
• that one periodical competently edited, and full of in•
formation likely to interest the families of our people.
5. The Boers] nmight consider the propriety of °stab
lisbing a carefully edited paper for Sabbath-sebum
- teachers. - • • • •

special detective at the Baltimore depot. That
quadruped was sold to Gen. Baker, of Wash
ington, for $250. The price of a male pup is
$5O. As watch-dogs they are said to pe:the
beet in the world. In the width of the spread
of their jaws they are of dog kind the most
formidable. There was one recently: in • the.
four-footed patrol of the Eastern Penitentiary_
that could take the thigh Off a man at a Single
bite. People keeping such animals will find,
an increase to their butcher's bills larger pos
sibly than they expected. '
—To-day, Chestnut street wears a holiday
appearance. Bunting, wherever displayed, b.
displayed half-masted. The various public
conservatories, this morning, are pretty WO
stripped. Through the railings of most of the
intramural, as well a 8 extramural cemeteries.
flowers are gleaming upon the mouldering turf
of the hillocks over our dead soldiers' graves,
—A -well-known resident of the suburb
rides twice a week into the city on horseback.
He invariably returns in a condition border
- lug, - upon - theliwipev:- - He is an old gentleman,--
and rides a very old horse. Tlie first 'reasoic
that the animal couldn't be bought for moue)
Is that the owner already possesses plenty.
The second is that the quadruped possesses
complement that, like the wag in the tail of
the Dutchman's deg, isn't up . for sale. The
wrinkle that the horse knows is `chow to keep
the centre of his rider's gravity square over
its hase. As he lurches the horse lurches cor
respondingly. If too tipsy to stop at the half
way house, the horse stops unbidden. While
his master engulphs another slug of whisky.
the animal, according to standing orders to
Elie hostler, is rewarded witli - a feed of oats:
Both horse and rider are local "characters,"
At both of them the people have laughed until
they literally wept.
AT FRA N FORD
WHAT IT IS Dimco.—At no period hag . the
Bureau of Engineering in this city been so
arduously occupied as at present. Though
this' is the case, Mr. Engineer KneasS has no'
more assistants at this 'moment than he had
in the year 18Z15. The work of constrticting
South street bridge will require his, constant
and daily • Supervision. • The
.appointment of '
all additional aid to superintend the erection
of Fairmount bridge seems to the department
an imperativb necessity. , • . ,
The material for South street bridge is being
rapidly brought to the spot: :01 - por; , the
embankment , necessary to make:way for the
driving of the piles, and the preparation of
foundatiOns, a full force of men are already at
work. That at' Fairmount bridge will shortly,
be underway. This structure 'will take the
place of the present Wire Bridge—a strUcture
that has forever :disproved, in these part 4 at.
least, .the , supposed value of all such rnaliaus of
,spatwing, a stream. The bridge. is to be a:
double-decked affair—in other words will
have an upper and lower roadway.' The, rise
of the latter begins et Twenty-fifth and Saying
Garden streets ;
,it on' the opposite side
of the river at , Thirty-second 1110.CIr Bridge
Streets. It. cresses over the Pennsylvania
Railroad,. iine'of the most dangerous - Pits of
travel at present in the entire Infinity.

nearly from curb to curb it certainly , comes

WHERE TO SPEND THE SUMMER.—UpOD
such chilly days as this, persons are indisposed
to think seriously of their summer trips to the
ocean ; but the warm weather will fairly be
:established in a few days,-and-then the swel-..
tering people will begin to choose the water
ing places and hotels at which they purpose
to spend their vacations. Of course, Cape
May will be the favorite resort with the ma
jority ; and the selection will° be !particularly
wise this year, because the place has been so
much improved, that it is more charming now
than ever. 140-the . sinalleat, inducement to
visit the Cape, is the fiet that lfr J.. Zl Cake
has refitted famous old C'ongregs 111101 in hand
somestyle, and will re-open it on the first
of June for the season. To this
already immense establishment a
new wing has been added, containing avast
number of rooms,all of which have been fitted
up in the most comfortable and elegant man
ner,'" The main building has .be'en altered and
improved in many respects, and Mr. Cake
may saltily compare the house now with the.
most famous in the world. 'For the excel-.
lence of its accommodations, the beauty of its
- .situation, the magnificence of its table; and for
all the various comforts and attractions which
conduce to the enjoyment of the visitor to a
watcying place, Congress Hall is unsurpassed..
The arratigOients made for the accommoda
tion of an increased number of visitors this,.
year are justified by the reputation and popu
larity of the house and we feel sure that the
anticipations of Mr. Cake in this respect will'
be,wholly,fuldlled.
