The loss, which, ha darkened the homo of whioh she wee the living light, has fallen , heavily «« the whole social circle which she adorned- In every relation of life she wasbelored. but us a Christian gentle woman, the daily hsauty of whoso lifo it was de lightful looontemptate, her example cannot easily ba forgotten.. , , During tho forenoon numoroua persons visited hfr. HrojotSK’a house, in day atreot, and passed on, silently and sadly, lnt» the apartment where the mortal remains or tho deceased lay.

' Precisely at 3 o’oloek took place the removal of the coffin from the Church to the hearse. Itwaa a touching speotsole to behold the bereaved wi dower and-the orphaned children accompany it. Many persons were weeping and sobbing audibly when they beheld Mr. HickmAn, almost borne down by great grief, yet manfally endeavoring not to yield to it la public.' And sadder still was it to behold the dear children, some of them so young as to bo almost unable to comprehend tholr great deprivation, following the last mortal re mains Of their tender and loving mother.

As largo a concourse as evsr assembled in West Chester, oh an occasion so sad, formed the funeral cortege to Oakland Cemetery.

They now olaimth&t they have gained a glorious victory. Gloriens, indeed! when they dared not avow their princi ples before the people, but orerywhere declared that they believed Broderick and MoKibbln were right in voting against tbe -Leoompton Con stitution. This they did indirectly by their news papers, and their pnblio speakers, all deolaring themselves In favor of popular sovereignty, ana that Buchanan did not new differ with Dongles upon this principle They deolared upon tho stump that they loved Douglas, and that they would cheer fully and gladly vote for him for the next Presi dency. Now, however, having hoodwinked and deceived tho people out of their votes, they fear no longor the ballot-box, as its power for tho pre sent has passed by, and they come out of their hiding places and loudly proolaim that the people arc opposed to popular sovereignty and are in favor or forofng the Lecompton Constitution upon the people of Kansas, first through the power of Congress, and, when that failed, through means of a threat aad tbe offer of a bribe as contained in the English bill. They did not dare speak their thoughts boldly until after theeleotion, when they deemed themselves safe beyond tho power of the people. [From the New Tork Times.J Our poor friend Glanoy Jones has onr siooerest sympathy in his present unfortunate condition. To bo rejected at all is bad enough, but to be rojeotod after dining so often at tbo white Home, and so oloso to the President's home, is worse still. We know what a high value Glanoy set upon an invi tation to Mr. Bueb&nan’s table,.from the fact that beasoribedan anti-Administration vote given in the House last winter to the member’s chagrin at not being asked to dine at the Presidential board. The nature of this argument proved so clearly the extent of Mri.Jones’s powers, and his great readi ness and versatility, as well as the thoroughly gen tlemanly tone of his mind, that we feel that his defeat has deprived the House of one of its bright : eat ornaments. “ We hare fallen on evil days— Biss after sUr decays l»* We are indebted to Wells, Fargo, A Co. for early o opies of California papers.

Mr. James Clifton, of the Eleventh ward, was nominated for president Mr. Llovd moved to amend by substituting Morris P. Parker, of the Ninth ward. Upon taking a vote, this motion wss apparently agreed to. Mr. Parkor then took the chair, bnt some dlssatls faction being expressed, he said he did not desire to aot as president against the wish of the majority of the judges. The yeas and nays were called, and Mr. Parker wss elected by a mte of 14 to 7. .Messrs. 8 L Kinney, George H. Moore, JohhM. Riley and Mr Erripkson were nominated for .clerk?. Upon a rote being taken, Messrs. John 31 Riley end George H. Moore were eleoted. Messrs John Barton and William B-aokburn were nominated for messenger. The former was chosen. Alderman James B. Freeman wss then sent for and administered the oath to the officers. ■ The reading of the returns for Sheriff was then pro ceeded with as far as the Pourth watd, when— 1 Mr. S Lloyd moved that the return be thrown out on I the ground that it is not what it purperts to be—a gen eral return of votee for Sheriff And other < Ulcers He had evidence to prove that the return was not a truo 1 one, but was fraudulent and false, In the E’ghth divi sion.- He produced an affidavit sworn to by Messrs. | George P. Pioney and Thomas Thoroley, the watchers appointed by the Court. It sets forth that the officers of tbs election were all Democrats; that they refused to recognise any challenges; that they rafu fl ed to qualify persons whose names are not upon tho Asses sore’ list; that no'qu»4Ubua were aiked as regards the residence of the voter, or the payment of taxes; that no naturallaatlon papers were required, exoepflu three cMes. ;and unnaturallftd persons were permitted, to vote in defiance of the challenges of qualified dll'. *9°* I that the rolls were kept open after eight o’clock P; M., and four votes were received after in »t tlmo; that one Henderson voted six times, one Carr voted four times, and James Norris, of Baltimore,, voted four times, using a different name each time.;; that the votes of several non-residents were taken.; I and that, in counting the votes, the ballots for Neblnger: .were counted for Florence, and those for McDonough' counted for McClain. The affidavit was sworn to bo- I fore. Alderman Swift. ! .Here several gentlenjen irose, and contended that the whole matter ”*aa out of order. The president said Mr. Llo'd had the floor, and should be heard. Mr. Lloyd therefore continued He said that the returns had been sent to impose upon the judges and the com munity. Ho produced another affidavit, signed by John M. Butl°r, stating that he had challenged several per sons, and no regard had been paid him. - Mr. Christy insisted that the Court of Quarter, See-' alona wm the proper tribunal to bring this matter be fore. The judges had nothing to do but to receive the have previously been sworn to as true. The president said that he was not aware that ho was to be called upon to preside, or, he should have been better posted. He then read the election law, and de clded the matter out of order. , Mr. Lloyd appealed from the decision of the chair, I and was sustained by a vote of 11 yeas to 12 nays. Mr. I L remarked that he had several affidavits, but wou'd I notread them. Nine votes had been returned for Mr. I Neblnger, and nineteen citisens had swoffc that they voted for him, and had examined their tickets. Mr. Christy contended that they coaid not go behind the records. This coutse was unprecedented. Mr. Clifton moved that one or the judges of the court be requested to attend and decide the question—l “Whether, if the Return Judge* have sufficient evi dence that the return of any precinct is not true, they have a right to reject suoh return?” ' The motion was agreed to, and the messenger was despatched after Judge Thompson, and in the meantime the readlng of the returns was continued. After the Sheriff had been catledcff, Colonel Thoms* I D. Florence entered the room, and asked permission to make a statement. He said he wished to be present by counsel. In ease an attempt wa* made to throw out tho votes of any portion of the First district. : The president said that it had been decided by the body that no one should be admitted, and Colonel Flo rence could not bo beard. At the conclusion of tho calling of tho county ticket, Messrs. Robert F Christy, Samuol Lloyd, and John B. Green wore appointed a committee to wait upon Judge Thompson', imd request his decision In the case of the Fourth ward difficulty. The committee, after a lengthy absence, returned and stated, through thel* chairman. Colonel Ohiisty that they bad waited upon Judges Allison and Ludlow Those gentlemen had decided that the duty of the turn Judges was to receive the returns without regard to any frauds. The board could not look into tbo legality of any. election, that being the province of the courts, the Legislature, and Congress. The Fourth ward return was then admitted.

Lecture before the Class of tub Ecleo tio Colluqb. —The operiog lectors before the olsss of medical students, in attendance upon, the Eclectic Col-, riege', at Sixth and Callo'whiU streets, was made by D, II Hol'omback, yesterday, at ten o’clock. The lectu rer dwelt. In the opening passages, on the difficulties acd perplexities attendant upon the acquisition of that knowledge of their profession which the ©lass sought,; by attendance upon tne.course of lectures given by the . institution, and the importance which would attach to them in their future careers, , Agraphic picture was' drawn of the progress ofescieu"*, and tne liberal senti- ■ moot which gradually succeeded the dark fuper ; tltion of former ages, with' the influence which was thereby oxorciaedupon the profession of medicine, and the aid which in oivillzsttou and science extended to tho medical atu 'ent. - Among the most prominent of these aids was instanced the discovery, and progress to* wards perfection, of the art of printing; and miny ludi crous quotations were made from ancient dispensatories illustrative of the superstitious-and absurdities which attached to tho early practice of medicino. The prin cipal tim of the lecturer was to establish the superiority of the modern schools of med'clne over tire old; and although he paid to the allopathic school the meed of praise due It for the many discoveries it has gUen to the wotld, and the progress it has made toward liberal? ism, the destructive agencies employed by that school were set off, in most unfavorable contrast with the im provements whlcfr bad.been introduced by the Eclectic school: The lecturer'spokeof the duties and hardships of the practitioner of mediolne, and clMsetwith him the printer, as two.whose labors were most lightly and grudgingly repaid, and whose b*nefita to mankind were most thankless, and last to be'acknowledged. The lecturer dosed with most wholesome advice to the class, as to the course of life which should be pursued by them, the duties necessary, and the vices and ex cesses to be sbnnned. The institution commences operations with over forty matriculates, and the number is confidently anticipated to- exceed one hundred, which Is an increase over former years Non-Explosive Burning Fluid.—By an advertisement in to day’ B paper it will bo seen that there are to be no more explosions, and that the ase of burning fluid “is safe at last ” Messrs. Yaroall & Og don,Ni 472 North Third street; having made arrange ments with, Prof. Greenough, of Boston (tho original inventor of burning fluid and CAmphene) for the exoln ‘sire right to the manufacture and sate of the non-ex plosive fluid and camphene in Philadelphia, have en gaged in the manufacture of the non-explosive burning fluid and camphene, and are prepared to furnish the same to tho public. We have fully tested its morlts, in ihe presence of many oiilr.ens. and all prononneo It of the utmost im portance to every family as a safe and brilliant light! It is us-d in the same lamps as the common fluid, end, although rather more expensive in the manufacture, will be sold at a very slight advance over cost. . . .. This fluid, although' not explosive, is ; inflammable j therefore it behooves persons using it In proximity to lire nottoncset their lamp or can. We shall give, hereafter, a more explicit statement of its superiority over ordinary burning fluid.

A Noted Establishment.—-In passing by the corner r f Second and Bock streets, a few days ago. our attention wasnailed to the elegant new eatibllsh mentof Messrs. E, S. Parson & Go.,at that locality. We were qiite unprepared to find *ln that’ vicinity a Housekeeper's Furnishing Btore equal in extent'to the finest establishments in that line anywhere in this city. ;This house will, however, prove of great convenience to a large number of our citizens who have nearer ac • csss to, that point than to similar stores situated farther westward, and from the great, variety of its stock :wjb abould not be surprised to And It receiving a liberal;■ , patronage from the most remote sections, especially since, by the vatious railroad lines, th.s point pay be reached by housekeepers from the outer wards with as much facility as any other. It would, of .coarse, be impossible to convey any just Idea of the character of this varied stock; but with one feature we were particularly pleased—vls.; that.the greatest possible pains have been taken to present to ibe public all the modern improvements in the department of housekeep ing goods. This fact, In connection with, the pollto and efficient attendantsemployed by Mr. Parson, can pot butrender his place a point of general attraction. In paaslcg through the superb collection of useful artl* pies, our only regret was that ire hid hot room enough in our cozy domicil for all the tempting: housekeeping conveniences exhibited to us; each as we thought it prudent (for us) to indulge in we bought, and bought cheap, and in their nee since, we baTo.the most un questionable authority for stating that they give entire satisfaction. New Bonnets.—Those who lly© And retain the use of their eyes until to-morrow, and place them-' spires in good position for observing such things, will probably have the' pleasure of seeing a very practical iUuatratiea.of the good taste our Philadelphia ladies evince ,ia. the soleotion of their.. new bonnets.'. .Very much of that pleaaine array of millinery loveHneaaia yet unpurchased, and to-day, therefore, will be largely derotsd to that purpose. In view of this, we will place our fair refers under renewed obligations (which they will be good enough to ■ discharge by' following ode advice) by Informing them that the' finest and most extensive display of fashionable millinery in this city is at the popular establishment of Messrs Llqcoln, Wool, & Nichols, Ne. 45Sm(h6rcond street. % Eelig;op4 —By ah • advertisement in anothor column, (which see,) It.wlllbeseen that Revs Hibson andMcOlure’will preach again in.pur c’ty to-morrow. These ■aiatlogalshed brethren from abroad (Ireland) preached eloquent sennoss in two of our churches on last Babbaih, and the .announcement of their holding forth to-morrow will ddnbtleM attract overflowing con gregations to.hear them again. ’ : v A Great"Stovb-'Housb".—ih passing along Se cond atreet lncidentally dropped In to see our well-preserved friend at. the extensive bouse of North, Ohue, & North, founders and stove manufacturers, and were surprised to find.that their stock of stores (whieh, by the way, they are Jarfc now turning out at a whizzing rate) presented about as great a variety of patterns u the dress gords on Ib*> cnn-*» r of a fashionable dry-goods store.. It Is imposes logo into this house amiss for any thing In the stove Hue— from aneedljtoananchor! / A Stove'for the TiMßsi—ln nothing do oar people act oat more clearly the dla+isgaishiog charac teristic of our nationality than In the promptness with which any new monejf’saving Invention is seized upon by the masses. It is precisely for this reason that the celebrated Stove, to which we called attention a few days ago-sold by Mr. J. S. Clark, No. 1008 Market street—is pairing Into geoeral u»e so rapidly that It Is with difficult? the supply can be manufactured fast enotigh to meet the demand. , The itove Is Cilrer’s in. veution, with Mr. Clark’s own Improvements, Mr. dark, No. 1008 Mirket street, Is the owner of both the invention and the improvement, and hie place should be visited by all who are In want of stoves. A Seasonable Hint.—There is nothing more oommon than when Sunday comes for gentlemen to find that there is a sorew .loose Jn their wardrobe; In other words, that they neglected to purchase either a collar, cravat, stock, suspenders, an undershirt, a pair of drawers,* box of hose,* pair of gloves, or somothiog else Iti that line, on Saturday evening; all of which might have been obviated by calling at the model gent’s famishing store.of Messrs.' B. O.Walborn A Co., (now) Nos. 6 and 7 North Sixth street. Going it with a Rush;—We felt it several occasions to Inform the public that the, beet place In town-to l obtain pure confectionery, was at E. G. Whitman 6c Go ’s, Second Btreot, below Chestnut; and so effective has been our advice that on a recent occasion, in passing their store, we halted to ascertain the cause of the throng of human beings we saw inside. We have sines learaed that the crowd has become chronic—that their place is always full of customers. Cause-they make the finest confectionery manufac tured, are polite to easterners, and sell reasonable;’ Phrbnologv.—A pleasant and profitable way of spending on evening, for a gentleman who has chil dren, is to engage a skilful phrenologist, and to submit their cerebral developments to a scientific examination. Mr. Capon, of the firm of Fowler, Wells A 00., at No. 922 Ohtstnut street, is now filling many snob profes sional engagements. Tons. Owl 9,398 05 2.054 08 17.491 IT 1,763 02 0.432 02 Bible Panorama.—This admirable ploture of Bible history la still attracting large and intelligent audiences. Every one who sees it becomes a talking •dvertisement in its praise. Mr. Williams, tbe artist, has bestowed much skilful labor in producing It, and be merits a rich reward at the hands of the public. . 37,129 12 .1,266,780 10 I’inb Chased and Plated Tea Sets. : Fine Chased and Plated Coffee and Tea Urns.

Contested Elbotion Case.—We understand that there lino truth whatever in the report that the eleottonof Supreme Judge is:to be contested; but it is perfectly true, and we are prepared to maintain the truth agaloit all comers, that the most elegautgarmenta to be found in the city aro those made and told at th e Brown f tone Clothing Hall of Rockhlll A WUsoo, Nob. 603 and 605 Obestnut street, above Sixth. 116 632 Ino.. 83,329 Triple-Plated Tea Sets.—Plated on Niokel, Silver.

Buchanan still flourishes at his spw Drug Store, Seventh and Spring Garden, where Perfumory, Soaps, Toilet Goods, Cigars, Combs, and Brushea can be had at the lowest prices. ; Singular Phenomenon.—About twelve o'clock last night a luminous cloud of considerable size wa® observed to rise in the northeast, and gradually pass over the city. It wjre every appeananco of having erchnated from a conflagration. The bells of tbe city, did not rinr, but several eogine companies came out; The oloud vanished in the southwest, leaving a halo, in whioh we could dearly discern the well-known admoni tion to out dally rekdets, “ Buy your clothes' of Gran ville Stokes, No. 607 Chestnut street.” The Rank is but the Guinea's Stamp— The man’s the Goold for ft’ thatJ • Lang, Lang Ago this aphorism waa written by the philosophio Burns. Had he lived in our day, when drew often takes precedence or rank, we think he would have It read, *• The Dress la but the Guinea>s Stirap,” leaving others to JodgC of the genuineness of the gold, from the faotthatlhe man did, or did not, wear vhe ele gant and seasonable styles of B.H.
