RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
The Breckinridge Family.
Jew families show more striking opposites in
their membership than the BrooMnridgo family, in
this country. It also gives a practical illustration
that more intellect, unless shaped in its purposes
by right principle, is a ourse rather than a blessing.
The ex-Vico President, for example, has been
cursed in this way, no less to the mortification of
his more honorable kindred, than to the permanent
disadvantage of his admiring followers in the loyal
States, the latter generally sharing all the curses
of their drunken leader, exoept his brains To ere
can now be no doubt that the recent raid by Mor
gan into Kentucky, to the home of Kov. Robert
J. Breckinridge, D. D., with the evident intention
to assassinate the latter, was made with the know
ledge and sanction of the arch'traitor, who is still the
virthal leader of the traitor party at the North. A
graphic aooount of the narrow escape of Dr. Breck
inridge, oh the occasion above referred to, written
by his niece, appears in the Princeton Standard ,
and,from its calm, simple, and evidently truthful
statements, we Infer that, if there had not been a
Providential interference to prevent the eminent
divine from falling into rebel hands, his experience
would bate had even a more Berions terminus than
Parson Brownlow’s
The judgment of Dr. Robert J. Breckinridge,
not only in ecclesiastical matters, in which he has
long been an acknowledged master, but iu all great
questions of public interest, is admitted to be.ofthe
highest order, and as no ene has had better facilities
for forming a correct estimate of the ex-Vice
President than his distinguished and interested
unole, the opinions of the latter upon his recreant
relative are important. In the last number of the
Danville {Review, the uncle thus expresses him
self regarding his nephew, John 0. Jit is a faithful
portrait, drawn by an boneßt hand:
“The conquest of his own State by arms was one
of the points of this atrocious .scheme, to the de
fence of which the Kentucky Senator lent himself
at Washington, in his vehement opposition to the
Federal administration; and in the support of
whish, on his return to that State in August, 1861,
the oonspirator became a refugee, and the refugee
a general in the army of traitors, and the general
an invader of the land to whoso defence he owed
every drop of bis blood. His expulsion as a traitor
to the nation, from the Senate of the United States,
a few months later, was the just and natural result.
He had not even the poor exouse that he was loyal
to Kentucky. Ho was a traitor to her also, and
that with a treason aggravated almost beyond his
torical example, and destitute of every pretext ever
plead by traitors before.”
But Dr. Breckinridge is not the only loyal mem
ber of bis family. Judge Samuel Miller Breckin
ridge is a son of the late Rev. John Breektnridge,
formerly a professor in the Princeton Seminary, and
is, consequently, a nephew of Dr. R J. Breckin
ridge, of Danville, Ky., and cousin ot the traitor,
John C. The Vtmaeton Stan/lard has a copy of an
oration delivered by Judge Breckinridge recently,
at Hannibal, Mo., in.which,he openly advocates
immediate stops for the gradual abolition of slavery
in that State, and argues that the State cannot hold
slavery long ; that the absence of an emancipation
law keeps free laborers out of the State; and that
soon there will be a loss to the State, from the want
of laboring men to develop its resources.”
There may not be muc h in this item to designate
it as religions, unless it be the proof it affords that
Adam’s was not the only family numbering in its
membership a Hod-fearing Abel, and a murderer.
Th e Editor of the Lutheran and Missionary,
Bey, Dr. Krauth, has been rusticating at Atlantic
City, and like a good tactician, turns the sum of
his experience ■while there into a readable editorial
in this week’s issue of bis journal. Beading his
disquisition upon oysters is probably the next best
thing to eating them fresh and plump from their
briny bed, at the sea-side.
New Episcopal Seminary.— The new Episcopal
Divinity School in this oily has been fully inaugu
rated by eleoting the following professors: Roy, <J,
Jitnlen Hare, D D., Biblical Learning; Bey. Jas.
May, D. D., History, and for the present, Syste
matic Divinity; Bey John A. Vaughan, D. D.,
Pastoral Care; Bey. Peter, Van Pelt, D. D., Ori
ental Languages; D. R: Goodwin, D, D., Apoio
fetics. Aoting professors, Bt. Bey. W. B. Stevens,
i. D., Liturgies; Rev. M.' A. De W Howe, D. D.,
Homiletics. At a meeting of the Overseers. Bt.
Bev. Alfred Lee, D. D., was chosen President, and
Bev J. A. Childs, Secretary.'
Clergymen Arrested,—We see it stated that
the Rev. James H. Brooks, pastor of the Second
Presbyterian Church, St. Louis, and the Rev. T.
A, Hoyt, Louisville, were lately arrested at Cin
cinnati, Ohio, and committed to the oustody of the
military at Newport Barracks, Kentucky. The
charges against these gentlemen are not stated,
though we do not think they were arrested on ac
count of their excessive loyalty.
Tbe Rev. Alfred Taylor, a young clergyman
of talent and energy, and who has travelled exten
sively, has just been installed pastor of the Presby
terian church at Bristol, Fa. The sermon on the
occasion was preached by the Bev. Thos. Murphy,
of Erankford; the constitutional questions were
propounded by the Bev. Joseph Beggs; the charge
was delivered by the Bev. Jesse K. Davis, of
Bridesbnrg; and the charge to the people by the
Bev. Dr. Halsey, of Norristown..
Proposed Conference of Yoons Men’s Chris
tian Associations in London in September.—
The Young Men’s Christian associations of Phila
delphia and New York have reoeived a communi
cation from London, in which reference is made to
the proposed conference in London of the-friends of
Young Men’s Christian associations, and conveying
through them to the Christian associations through
out the United States an affectionate and oordial in
vitation to attend and join in the meetings from the
11th to the 16th of September. Delegates, officially
accredited, will be provided with accommodations
by the London association.
Week of Special Prayer.—An invitation for
prayer during the week January 4—11,1863, pre
pared, at the request of the committee, by their
venerable friend, the Bev. Dr. Marsh, will shortly
be published. —Evangelical Christendom.
The Bev. J. Wheaton Smith has bad the de
gree of D.D. conferred upon him by the University
of Lewisburg. Dr. Smith is one of onr most popular
and polished divines in the Baptist Church, and
Lewisburg has paid him a deserved compliment.
Andover Seminary.—The annual oommenoo
inent exercises of the Andover Theological Semi
nary took place on Thursday of this week.
What the Sisters of Charity are doing in
this War.—The New Covenant, a Protestant pa
per, published in Illinois, pays the following tri
bute to the Sisters of Charity ministering to the
sick and wounded soldiers in the Mound City Hos
pital. The same would apply equally well to St.
Joseph’s, In this city, and numerous , other hospi
tals, where these devoted and self-denying Chris
tian women are doing a noble work:
** A Shaker like oleanliness and sweetness of at
mosphere pervaded the various wards; the sheets
and pillows of the unoccupied beds are of immacu
late whiteness, and the patients, most of them con
valescing, are cheerful and contented. The ‘ sis
ters of the Holy Cross’ are employed aB female
nurses, and by their skill, quietness, gentleness, and
unwearied tenderness, render themselves invaluable
in the siok wards. Every patient of whom I in
quired has given hearty and strong testimony to the
kindness and skill of the‘Sisters.’ ‘Mother An
gela’ is the matron, the controlling Bpirit, or ‘Su
perleure’ of these nutses—a gifted lady of rare cul
tivation and executive ability, and possessed of tbe
most winning sweetness of manner. "By the by, I
learn that she is a relative of tbe wonderful Beech
ers, and also of both the Generals Sherman.
“ The Memphis correspondent of the Now York
says the poor fellows who were so horribly
scalded on the Mound City are receiving the best of
attention and the most careful nursing. He adds:
‘ Half a dozen of those ministering angels—the Sis
ters of Charity—have come down to the flotilla
from Mound City, and are doing everything in their
power to render the unfortunate victims comfort
able.’ ”
Methodism is British Amebic a.—Th# Eastern
Conference of British America, whioh includes
Mora Sootia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland,
met June 25th, in Halifax. It comprises 103 cir
cuits, and above 125 preachers. 'The past year has
not been one of great progress. The proceedings
of the Conference were of a harmonious character,
and various matters of ohurch’interest received due
attention. Among other things,. eight preachers
were ordained to the work of the ministry.
Praybb Heard fob ode Brave Sommers.—
There is no question about it, says the American
Presbyterian, the brave youth who have gone from
our congregations, and who have been made ob
jects of frequent prayer in the pulpits and praying
oiroies of the church, have bean protected to a
wonderful degree from the casual tics of battle and
the perils—stall more formidable—of the camp.
We have oonveised with several of our city pastors
whose young men, to the number of thirty or forty
in eaob charge, have enlisted and are now in the
service, many of, them having undergone the ex
posure and peril of the campaign before Richmond,
and some oi them connected with regiments famous
for their bravery and sufferings in the week of bat
tles ; and, so far as we have heard, but . one has
been killed, very few have been wounded (none
mortally,) and we have heard of but one or two
who have fallen victims to disease.
Extraordinary Rafting—A Blew Era in the
Lumber Trade.
The Chicago Tribune, of the 6th Inst., aayfc:
. The monster raft, heretofore announced as on Ms way
to this city, arrived yesteiday rooming, in towof the"
tugs PrindlYille,‘Oapt. J. Nicholson, and McQueen, Capt.‘
H. 0. Blue. The raft is composed of seven sections or
cribs, each nlnety-two feet long, fllty wide, and eleven
feet deep, and contains over three million feet of lumber. -
It is owned by John Trowbridge & Bro., of Detroit. The
bottom of the oribs is made of spars and square timber,
ninety-two feet ’ long, chained together at each end, and
across these are laid other spars and timber, fifty feet
long, andnpon this Superstructure the lumber is laid to
the depth of ten feet, and fastened with spars placed on
the tep and bound to the bottom with chains. Bach crib
is constructed In like manner, and the whole securely
fattened together With 'numerous ohatns thus forming a
raft neatly eight hundred feet long by fifty wide. There
are 2,800,000 feet of lumber, and oyer 200,000 feet of

ANTICIPATED ATTACK—As the Lancaster No. 4'
passed up the river, .on the 2d j the people of Casey vilie,
Ky„ were much excited:; The Union men' were arming
themselves in expectation of an attack from the rebels,
who weroistationed three or four miles back of the town,
numbering from three to four 1 hundred. They hod
threatened to attack the town that night, the boat bsing
armed with a six- pound cannon and forty Enfield rifles.
Ihe boat was anebored in the middle of the stream' and
lay there all night. The rebel pickets advanced within
half a mile of the river, but made no attack. They ex

Yesterday, at three o’clock, was warmer than at any
time previous since July, 1869, when the thermomotar
marked a temperature the same as that of yesterday.
During the day roach ont-duor labor had to be suspended,

Sick and Wounded Pennsylvania
80LDI&B8. —Uommlsfiouers Wm. M. Francis and F.
Wyetb, appointed by Governor Curtin to look after all
the brave sons of Pennsylvania who may be lying In fo
reign hospitals, either sick or wounded, have just made
a report to the Governor They state that they visited
the Hygiene, Fortress Monroe, Middle Creek* Chesa
peake, Portsmouth, and Newp tft JSews Hospital*, Iq
these were many Pennsylvanians* wounded, sick and
weary: but, almost without exception, cheerful and
grateful tor the care and attention which had been paid
to their wants. It was an incident a hundred times re
peated, which made us feel proud of our £tate, to hear
our sole fers, when informed of the object of oor calling
on them, exclaim* “ How careful our Governor Is of us!”
And those from other States would say, “Pennsylvania
knows how to take care of her sick nod wounded.” ,
They found at the hospitals, ail of them, that the beds
were titan and comfortable their ventilation good, dis
infecting agents in the rooms, and from the kindness of
distant but humane fellow-citizens, in all but one of
them, a great variety of delicacies suitable to the sick
palate. The patients in all of the hospitals, with this
one exception; were unanimous in expressing their sa-:
tisfaction at the food and treatment they received. At
the Portsmouth Hospital very universal complaint was
made of their diet,' whilst they Bpoke in praise of all
other attentions. The Commbaiorerß felt itthoir duty
to speak to the surged a on the subject, and they received
in reply, that he gave them just what the Government
furnished for tbeir use. Portsmouth Hospital, it is true,
is cut off from near Union ss mpathiea, by the fact of its
being located in the hot- bed of lt would,
therefore, he well to direct the attention of the generous
men and women throughout the land, to supply its
larder with those delicacies so grateful to a sick appetite.
. They also found a number of the soldiers to whom was
due a considerable amount of back pay, but which they
were unable to obtain, not having been furnished with
tbeir descriptive Hats, To have these furnished to them,
they begged the Governor’sattention. Therealso seemed
to be a number, of the men whose wouhds and broken
down constitutions: render it advisable they should he
discharged and returned to their friends. ' A
Whilst at Newport News, thoy bad an opportunity of
witnessing a regimental review of the troops at that
place Atnotg them were several regiments from our
own State, whose discipline and manoeuvring compared
well with aU others in the field. The men, with whom
we afterwards met and conversed, were cbeerfal and
contented; looking healthy and robust, although many
of them jußt from afarsontbern Climate—and all anxious
to meet ibe enemies of tbeir country. .
Administering the Oath of Alle
giance at THE POST OFFlCE—Yesterday after
noon, Postmaster ; Walborn had the oath of allegiance
administered to every employee at the post office. About;
three o’clock the postmaster called the employees toge
ther, and made the following remarks: -
Gentlemek : It is my intention that each and all of
you shall tliow your loyalty to the Government. I am
about to have the test-oath of the Government adminis
tered to every employee in this place If any one is not
willing to toke tfae_ oath ho mmt step aside, and I will
'attend to the matter. I.also desire to inform you that, if
any one in my employment is desirous of serving his
country on the battle* field he is at liberty to do so, aad
his place will be filled temporarily -tillhis return, when
he can have bis old situation, if not a better one. [Ap
plause.] My object, in administering this oath, is to let
the world know that all the men connected with this de
partment are loyal and true to their country; and I
hope that it will be administered in every workshop or ; -
plaee of business throughout the land, so that we may
know who are the loyal and who are the disloyal,
[Applause.] /
Alderman John Thompson then administered the fol
lowing oath to each employee:
i« _—«,• —, being appointed *—— at ——lu the
county of-- , and State of —do solemnly swear
that I have never voluntarily borne arms against the
United States since I have been a citizen thereof; that I
have voluntarily given no aid, countenance, counsel, or
encouragement to persons engaged in armed hostility
thereto: that 1 have neither-sought nor accepted nor at
tempted to exercise the functions of any office whatever,
under any atthority,or pretended authority, in hostility
to the United States; that I have not yielded a voluntary
Bupport ro any pretended Government, authority, power,
or constitution, within the United States, hostile or in
imical thereto. And I Ido jswear that, to the
best*of my knowledge mid ability, I will support and de
fend the Constitution of the United States against all
enemies, foreign or domestic; that I will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same ; that X take this obligation
freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of eva
sion; and that I will well and faithfully oischarge the
duties of the office or position which I now hold under
the United States Government: So help me God.” The
oath was also administered to Mr. Walborn, after which
each! person signed the oath, in a book prepared for the
purpose. ■ ■ •.?
The oath of allegiance was administered to the em
ployees of the custom-house some time since, and more
recently to those at the mint. The navy yard employees
have not yet taken the oath, but it is understood they
soon will.
Tho oath of allegiance should be administered in every
workshop or place of business throughout the United
States, so that we may know who are tbe traitors in our
midst who smile at our defeats and discourage our bol
diery. .
The Progress op Becruiting.—
The action of the City Councils, in passing a supplemen
tary ordinance placing everybody who attaches himself
to a Philadelphia regiment on an equal fooling, whether
a resident of the city or not, has caused increased ac
tivity among the recruiting circles. Ab a part of its good
effects, it may be stated that 113 men came up from
Chester yesterday,.and some 30 odd men came up from
Salem the day previous, who have connected themselves
with Philadelphia regiments. A volunteer in any one of
our city regiments receives more bounty than is'given
in any other part of the United States, Squads of men,
preceded by fife and drum, are met in every part of the
city, engaged .in ibe.goo<l work. From present appear
ances, the quota of Philadelphia under both calls of_<w~
President will be. raised without any difficulty, thereby
rendering a draft unnecessary. It is not improbable,,
however, that a draft will be eventually resorted to to
fill up the old regiments (which are delayed by red tape)
to the required standard. Yesterday, as usual, the old
regiments did scarcely anything, but the new regtffienta
received a large number of enlistments.
Yesterday a squad of 26 young men went to Harrisburg,
from Cheltenham township, Montgomery, county, to enlist
for nine months. Another lot will leave bn Tuesday next.
Tbe following are the names of tboss that left yesterday:
Adam Myers, Benjamin Rowland Myers, W. B. Myers,
IV. G. Bosler, John. A. Leapson, 0. H. Shuster, W. B.
Caskey, Wm. Riff, J. M. Leapson, F. Ayers, Benjamin
F. Dean, Harvey Yanartsdalen, John Hamilton, Charles
VI. Patterson. Edward Wiley, Jesse Gray, Benj. Tomlin
son, Josiah S. Say, Bloomfield. Miller, Henry 0. Say,
Alfred Childs, John Childs, and Harvey Tomlinson.
“ Bolle Myers” is to he their lieutenant and leader,
and attuerman docs not live. ■
Citizens’Bounty Fund.—The com
mißsioners appointed by the Mayor to distribute tbe fund
of $500,(00 appropriated by the city met the Citizens’
Committee yesterday, and both agreed upon their final
arrangement for separate but harmonious action, for de
tails of which onr readers are referred to onr advertising
columns. ; The municipal authorities dispense premiums
and bounties to new organizations and to them only.
The Citizens’ Committee distribute'premiums to .new
. organizations, and this committee, and it only, distributes
'bounty to recruits'for old regiments, now in the field,
originally recroited in our city.
The Citizens’ Committee placed $29,000 at the disposal
of the Municipal Commissioners, to be returned by them
as soon as the city loan may be negotiated. There need
be no delay now in tbe payment of premiums and boun
ties to either old or new organizations.
The War Department has been strenuously urged to
issue orders in strict conformity with the action of the
civic authorities and the Citizens’Committee. If this is
done, doubtless onr city will furnish 10,000 recruits be
fore the time arrives for the draft to be enforced. Sub
scriptions to the fund ought not to lull for a moment—
Philadelphia must be np to her whole dnty.
War Meeting in Lower Merion.—
One. of the largest and most-spirited war meetings ever
held in any part of tbe rural districts of the city was
held on Thursday afternoon, at the grove of Charles J.
Arthur, Lower Merion, Montgomery county. About
fifteen hundred persons were present, including a large
number of ladieß. The Manayunk Baud was also pre
sent, and enlivened the proceedings by. several patriotic
airs. The following is the list of officers: r ’
President—Charles Kugler, Eeq. ,
Tice Presidents—Philip Sheaff, John F. Taylor, of
Delaware county; Thomas Hamphreya, Dr Joseph B.
Leavering, Oharleß J. Arthur, H. G. Litzeuberg, David
Morgan, David Stacker, Joseph Hunt, Joshua Ash
bridge.- '
Secretaries—Ellis Ramsey, Thomas McCully, Hamilton
Egbert ' '
A spirited and stirring .address was delivered by the
Bey Mr. Jackson, of this city. He was followed by the
Bev. Messrs. Heck, Kakeatraw, and Noble. of Moot*
gomery county. AU the speeches elicited frequent bursts
of applause, and were received with much enthusiasm.
A number of resolutions were also adopted—one of
them to raise a com cany of volunteers for the war, to be
Under the command of Capt. Joseph T. Pearce. This
was received with much applause, and abont fifty men
immediately volunteered. It was also resolved that the
bounty received by them should be dual to tlmt given,
in any of the other districts. A subscription paper was
thereupon opened, and SI,OOO subscribed on the spot,
mostly in sums of $lOO. One gentleman gave $2OO.
Another meeting will he held this evening, in Odd
Bellows’ Hail, at Athensvillo, when measures wilt be taken
to fill up the company to the full standard, and increase
the bounty fund. ,
Personal.— Captain Ad drew J, Co
hen, of the staff of General Alfred Pleasonton, leaves
the city to- day, to join the army on the James riyer. Ho
carries with him the best wishes of a host of friends,
A correspondent of the New York TForM, writing
from Paris under date of July 25j says that the body of
James M. Benners of Philadelphia, formerly a glass
manufacturer, had beep found in the Seine with his
throat ent from ear to ear. There was no doubt of his
haying committed suicide, he having for several weeks
past exhibited symptoms of aberration, of mind. The
body was reclaimed by his friends, and will be sent homo
for interment. p
Hr. QtorgeO. Bower, army correspondent, having re
covered from his recent wound and subsequent attack of
sickness, has again lert for his post in the advance of our
army. > --A -
The Anderson 1 Troop. Probably
no military organization ever recruited so rapidly as
this, when ihe high grade of qualifications is considered.
The offices have been open throughout the State five
days, and Captain Palmer informs us that two .compa
nies are now full. The* men already mastered in can
hardly-be equalled by any cavalry companies in exist
ence, unless it is by the original Anderson Troop, which
the United States Assistant Inspector General certified
tG bo «the fineßt body of men ho had ever seen.’* The
two companies already ascepted'by Captain Palmer are
composed of young men—intelligent* active, good horse
men, who leave the home comforts to which they are ac
customed only because the promptings of duty are more
powerful than the love of ease. ' May this battalion be
come the pride of our good old State t
Youthful Robbers.—Three boys
were arrested in the Second Police district, on Thursday,
charged with having burglariously entered the dwelling
iOf Mr. Garber, near Ninth street and Washington avenue,
some eights ago, The bonae is supposed to-have been
entered through'the bath-room window. An Iron safe,
containing abont four hundred dollars, id notes and other
money, besides numerous valuable papers, was carried
off. It was subsequently found, rifled of its contents,
near the first bridge on Broad street. The|th!eves were
searched at ths station-house, and a pair of gold armlets,
together;with a pair of spectacles, believed to have been
stolen, were found on their persons. Two: bank notes
were also recovered, which are supposed to have been
stolen from tbo safe. The defendants were committed
for a further bearing.
A War Meeting in Belmont district,
Twenty-fourth ward, was held on Thursday evening, at
the Astonvitle School-house. The.people were folly
aroused,* and the proceedings were of the most enthu
siastic older. Dr. L.M. Service was appointed presi
dent, and short and stirring speeches were made by
Prof.'Benders, Rev. A. M. Jelly, Lieut. Dykes, Captain.
Courtland Sanders, Joseph M. Wilson, and others. Eight
4 volunteers enrolled their,names as members of Company
G, Oapti 0." Sanders, Corn Exchange Regiment; and
:from lento fifteen more will doubtless enter their names
in'this popular company.

The Reserve Brigade.— At a re
cent meeting of Company A, or the second regiment of
Ibis corps, held at their Armory, Board of Trade Build
ings, a number of spirited, addresses were delivered by
Captain K. B; ‘Davis, Lieutenant Smethurst, Egbert
Nicbollsj Esq., ate Mold, and Mr. Field. Committees
were appointed to confer; with .the officers .of the other
companies, with the object of proenring the acceptance,
by the Governor, of the whole " brigade,'and a resolution
was adopted that each member'should proceed at once to
a proper means towards filling 'np the

Arrival of aU. S. War Steamer :
Yesterday the United . States-war steamer Quaker City,
carrying nine guns, arrived at our navy yard. Her offi
cers and; crew are all reported we*l. :11 will be remem
bet ed that this vessel was almost the first one taken by
the Government on the breaking out of the war. ;Oa ao
count of her great speed and adaptability; she was taken
by jGeneral Wool, and sent with.-munitlons of war.ta re
inforce. Forfreßß Monroe. After that, and daring the
greater part of last year, she was. employed blockading
the Chesapeake,!Which she did with an. efficiency, that
i excited much notice and commendation. In December
lafct, having been refitted with a mach heavier battery,
she was despatched to cruise for the slippery-heeled
Sumpter among the West ludian islands,. That craft,
however, soon went off to ** fields afresh-and pastures
new ” in the Mediterranean.? The Quaker Oity remained,

The Kensington Water—lndigna
tion AMONGfTHE PEOPLE A number of the resi
dents of thiß district are again suffering severely from
llieuse of tbe Delaware water. .Whole families are taken
Bick, and if something is not done immediately to remedy
this, evll a serious outbreak will be tbe consequence.
By the unwholesome supply of .water .which has been
given to this district a large number of families have been
obliged to remove to cther portions of our.city; and, as a
consequence,' property, is considerably depreciated in
value. What few pumps have been left in the district
are befog worked night and day, and in some instances
the people carry , the water in buckets for two, three, and
even four equares, rather than use the hydrant water
This thing should be remedied immediately. The pro
perty-holders of the district pay their taxes and water
rents, and they should be supplied wiih as pure water as
any other portion of onr city.
. The nuisance has become, so great, and . the conse
quenoeß of drinking this impure water-have proved so
disastrous to the health of the citizens in the upper bso
tion of the city, that we have heard of numerous threats
being made to take the matter into their own hands.
Judging from present indications, Borious troubles may
yetensue. Chief Engineer Oassinfof the Water Depart
ment, has done everj thing in his power to alleviate the
sufferings of the people in the upper part of the city, and
to furnish them with a supply of pure Schuylkill water,
and, had his valuable suggestions been carried oat by
City .Councils, the evil would be no longer complained of.
As this body refused to pass tbe $900,000 loan bill, which
provided for the extension of the water works, and have
now adjourned during the warm weather, there is bat
little prospect of the Kensington district getting rid of the
impure flow of Delaware water which they are now com
pelled io use.

North Fifth street, offers for sale a large stock of these
nettings, of excellent quality; We advise purchasers to
give him a'call,
: Thieves Arrested.— Mrs. M. P.
Haines and daughter were yesterday arrested on com
plaint of Mr« Asa Darling, of the Bever© House; for
obtaining hoard under false pretences. The above parties
are in the habit of staying two or . three weeks .wherever
they board, and them slinking away without payiog their
espouses. In this way, the national Hotel, and-the
Madison'and Bevere Houses, have been victimized; The
parties were held inrS&OO ball, In default of which they
were fully committed. - ' agoa

the entire regiment will turn out. ■
: Coup de Soliel.—A man whose name
was unknown died yesterday, at the Second district police
station, from the effects of asnn-stroke received the day
