TUE ODD FELLOWS' CEMETERY.—The an- Mittl report of the Odd Fellows' Cemetery Company for the year ending Novtniber 30th has just been issued. Tne Committee on Grounds say : During the year the duties appertaining to a super vision of the ground have been attended to, the neellnAJl and gutters placed in good condition as early in the sea son as possible, and the appearauce of the ground has given general satisfaction to the visitors during the year. As little labor as pasalbla has bean sesplosed durin g thr year, but notwithstanding all efforts, the amount wantei for labor will annually increasoi as the cemetery is (nun time to time Improved by railings, monuments, &c., the cost of removing surplus earth is increased by the sub stitution of the slow wheelbarrow for the pre vionsquicker mode by horse and cart ; in fact, in some of the sections the cart can hardly be used for fear of doing damage. The Committee on Grounds i-ny that they know of no extensive improvements during the coming year needed upon the grounds, excepting, perhaps, that it would be prudent to have the atone well on the front of the ground Repainted, the iron railing thereon painted, and eke e - lump in front of the chapel retouched and repaired. AB it win not be many years before a heavy stone wall will Le absolutely necessary along the whole of the rear end of the cemetery, costing frotalive to ten thousand dollars, the committee, owing to the fact that the company will non he out of debt, suggest to the Board the propriety of :setting aside from the surplus revenue of the company, from time to time, such sums as can he spared, to create .a fund, to be kept solely for the performance of the ne t,essitY named. The total receipts of the company during the past year have been $4,826.06. the chief source of revenue being the issue of permits, from which 53,057.50 was derived.

According to previous announcement, the In• Taut gaul of that church, 5116 6f the Isms! ?v..' liscl managed in Philadelphia, mat in the body of the church at the appointed hour, 103 o'clock, for the public exhibi tion of whatthey had evidently been previously trained for with groat ca r e, 14- eflitieht Superintendent, A. Af. Spangler, Esq. The exercises were conducted under the direction of the Rev. Dr. Fisher—who now temporarily fills the pulpit of this church, recently rimmed by the re. signation of Dr. Berg—and were opened with a Volun tary- on the organ, by Mr. C. Collins, in his usual artistic style. This was followed with a recitation by the children or the 121st Psalm ; prayer by Dr. Fisher, a hymn of Praise and Welcome, and a hymn entitled " Marching Along," sung by the Main hchool, in charge of their Superintendent, D. W. C. Moore, Esq. Dlr. Spangler next occupied a few moments with some well expressed and appropriate remarks, respecting the year's experience and present condition of the Mimi. The fact that five of the children had been removed - by death during the year, in contrast with the fact that during the four previous years there had not a single death occurred among them, formed a touching feature or his remarks. After a hymn by the Choir, thole was an address by 3lr. Stephen Paxton, a missionary CM- DlOYed by the First Rd - 011MA Dutch Church of this city, and one of the best specimens living of an honest back woods Sunday School missionary, Ills remarks were evidently en4oyed by old and youpg. _TM singing of the children, as a whole, was a superior specimen of vocal culture under the difficulties which must attend the training of so large a number of very small children. The distribution of gifts, books mainly, was, of souses, the feature for the little folks. The benediction wad pronounced by the Rev. Dr. Fisher. IsTPRESTLie geNDAN-geltOeL 437XIVERSART LAST . E.l - s,:iisci.---The forty-sixth anniversary of the Sun. day-schools connected with the First Baptist Church, corner of Broad and Arch streets, was celebratesi in that edifice last evening, in the presence of a very large and delighted congregation. The preparations for this an nual occasion were unusually elaborate, and the per formance by the pupils throughout fully sustained the high promise of the , programme. The exercises were divided la two parte, the first having opened with a hymn entitled lfarch Along," sung, in excellent style, by the Hain school. The next feature was a hymn, Ir pilsries Bard,” sung by the 5e1,601, and the choru s by little children, executed with pleasing effect.. This was followed with au Opening Address, by Master Frank Himself, and the hymn by the school, and a dialogue on " Fxliggerafjoili" by fit 1 4YS i also, a dialogue on the Bible, by three girls; both were very creditably given. After several more hymns there was a duet, and organ accompaniment by Professor Michficl Cross, which was followed with a Collection Address, by Halter Prank Roberts, and the collection itself—a liberal one, we are glad to state, us, from the character of the enter. tainment, it deserved to be. After the collection, the St ar Spangled Banner" was sung with a patriotic fer- Tor that would have made Seminal had there been anY present, tremble and wish themselves in Dixie. The second part of the exercises was opened with a beautiful hymn, followed with a poem by Mosier. Wm. F. Echeelie. The chief feature of the evening was an ex cellent address by ex-Governor Pollock. The exercises were concluded with a doxology and benediction, EXTENT OF THE CONFECTIONERY BUSINESS IN P 11.4 armour .I.—Few perSOTIR have any concepttoo or the - enormous amount of fine confectionery annually made and sold in this city. The statisties of the leading house, in this department, in Philadelphia, if given in full, would be looked upon as ahnost incredible; we refer To the large manufacturing house of Alvaro, E, man S: Co., Second street, below Chestnut. For several weeks past these gentlemen have given steady employ ment to a large force of operatives in getting up what was deemed by them a E•ligiplnclia *AI and the magni, tulle of their preparations for this purpose may be in ferred from the fact that the average work of seine of' the men in their sugar-plum department has amounted, in some instances, to neat - 7 lour ihint.l.l . 4.2loo“reas per meek each. Considering the large number of hands empbyed In their manufactory, besides a considerable number, oldie.- dir ctly er indirectly, o..,tekle of their own fmuso dials establishment, the aggregate of their goods made up in the course of a season must be enormous. Yet, notwithstanding these extraordinary facilities for sup plying a little world, ire s 0111. d think, with these delicious edibles. so great was the popular pressure to obtain them, for some days previous to Christmas day, that the stock of this house, on the eve of that day, was literally ex hausted. Of course, with their business elasticity and resources, their counters will almost immediately resume their accustomed display of fine confectionery. The fact of their enormous sales this season is, however, signifi cant. People have learned that the finest and purest confections are the kind to use, and E. G. Whitman Co.'s is the place to get them. HOLIDAY PRESENTS AT OAKFORDS'.—Afessrs. Charles Oakford and Sons, under the Coutinentil, have evidently, this season, made R signal hit in their holiday preparations, as we infer from the fact that they have unauestionably sold a nreator number of 45 presents" at. a greater aggregate value than any other one house in the country. Their following departments have been, and etill continue to be, crowded daily with buyers, en leeting handsome goods at low pricey Ladies , Vatteg Yeas flats and Cape for Gentlemen; LoAiee' Paris made Shoes; Rats for Children and Misses; Gentlemen's Furnishing and Fine Military Goode.
