THE INCARNATION OF INGRATITUDE. -A
day or two ago, a farmer from Bustleton lost three
hundred and fifty-four dollars. This sum of money
was found at Frankfort road and Norris street by
Mr. Ezra Chambers, employed in the gas depart
ment of Philadelphia. Mr. Chambers accordingly
advertised that he had found the money, and stated
that the owner could have it by coming forward,
proving property, and paying the costs of advertise=
ment. The Bustleton farmer saw the advertisement,
and, by his description of the several kinds of notes,
gave satisfactory proof of being their owner. Cam
bers gave them into his hands. The eager clutch
with which the worthy agriculturist closed upon
them can well be imagined by any one having the
misfortune to lose three hundred and fifty-four dol
lars. The fanner, having thus pocketed these three
hundred and fifty dollars' worth, then extracted a
one-dollar bill from his wallet, and, with a munifi
cent air, presented it to the faithful discoverer of his
losses.. The latter insinuated that the coat of ad
vettisement had Already amounted to seventy-five
cents. The Vormer, that is to say, the farmer, replied
that he WAS an extravagant creature for having paid
so much! Verily, virtue is its own reward—so is
finding other people's money. We presume both
parties felt the truth of this proverb, although to
such different dispositions it must have presented
itself in different lights.
„
DECEASE OF A WELL-KNOWN _HER
ottArrr.-At a meeting of the Corn Exchange Asso
ciation, held yesterday morning, the death of Charles
H. Mellon, Esq., was annotinced as having taken.
place at his residence, No. 1734 Spruce street, on
Monday morning.
Mr, Francis A. Godwin 'made a few appropriate
remarks in reference to the character of the de
ceased, and the high esteem in which he was held by
his fellow-merchants.
.His amiability and upright
ness met the approval of all, and none knew him but
to love and respect him. He submitted the follow
ing preamble and resolutions, which were 1111/01i
mouely agreed to:
Whereas, It has pleased Him, to whom we all owe
our existence, to remove from our midst our late
brother merchant, Charles H. Mellon, for many
years one of the most useful and honored members
of the Corn Exchange Association :'therefore,
Resolved, That in the sudden demise of Charles H.
Mellon this association experiences the loss of one
of its most cherished members—one wlto was en
r!s red to us by many eDnobling virtues, integrity of
character, and uniform probity of manners.
Ecso:red, That while sorrowing in our own loss,
we tender to the civility of our deceased brother the
heartfelt sympathies of this association, trusting
that they will rind consolation in the fact that he
was a father, son, and brother, whose friendship all
were proud to be honored with.
Rewired, That as a token of our respect to the
memory of the deceased, a committee of three be
appointed by the chairman of this meeting, to attend .
the funeral of the deceased, and that they furnish a
copy of the foregoing preamble and resolutions to
the family.
The president appointed on the Committee, Francis
Goodwin, John D. Wagner, and Edward D. Potts.
THE RISK OP CO2cTRACTOTLS.—TIIOSe
who, at the beginning of the year, entered into con
tracts for furnishing certain supplies in large quan
tities to various public institutions, have not made
overwhelming fortunes. The estimates that were
made some months ago are ruinous now to men
who usually are very correct in their judgment. At
the last monthly meeting of the Board of Control
lers, Mr. Alexander Convery, who was awarded the
contract for supplying 3,000 tons coal at $5.18 per
ton, asked to be "let up," as this price was at pre-'
sent ruinously low. The price, as our readers know-,- -
has fikeli - fi sudden rit•O r and it -15 - not - lakuty that. it
will soon take a fall.
Mr. Convery asked for an advance of $1 per ton
on 1,100 tons of his contract, that is to say, for all
the coal furnished between the Ist of September and
15th of October. The Committee on Supplies yes-.
terday refused to grant the request, as it is contrary
to practice to reduce the rates at which contracts are
executed for furnishing supplies. Mr. ()misery will
continue to furnish the coal at the contract price,
though at a great loss. He estimates his loss thus
far at $Bl5. Those who take the sweet must take
the sour.
DESERTIONS 4... 1 401:0 TILE DRAFTED MILI
TIA.—The Adjutant General has issued an order to
the drafted militia who disregard their obligations
to their - country, and keep out of the way, and avoid
delivery to the several camps of instruction, that
they cannot divest themselves of their liability to
faithfully perform nine months of military service;
and that service can only commence from the date
of their delivery to the military authorities. The
citizens yet subject to draft are deeply interested in
seeing that the recusants are promptly sentin, for as
the General Government has required of the State
a certain number of men, some of their citizensmay
be subsequently drafted in place of such recusants.
Drafted militia who, have deserted will be pur
sued, and when apprehended, will be required to
make good the time lost by their unauthorized ab
sence, and also be subject to such punishment as
may be determined by a general court martial, under
the articles of war.
PRESENTATION TO A FIRE COMPANY.—
A very , handsomely chased silver horn was pre
aented to the Moyamensing Hose Company by the .
Minerva Library Atisociation, on Monday evening.
The horn was presented, with a very appropriate
speech, by Mr. Dougherty, on behalf of the associa
tion, and received, on the part of the hose company,
by Wm. H. Fagan, Esq., the president—after which
a fine supper was served, at which speeches were
made by Messrs. McCusker, Sheran, and others.
The whole affair was creditable to all concerned.
TILE TOBACCO Caor.—The tobacco - crop
of Pennsylvania is fully as good as that of last year
and, although the leaf is not quite as large, the qua
lity is as good, if not better. Already dealers and
speculators, at home and from abroad, are on the
alert to secure their share of the crop, but as yet
have not commenced buying. Tobacco is on the
rise, and getting higher, and growers would do well
to post themselves up in regard to the price. The
Lancaster county crop has proved quite a success.
PENNSYLVANIA COTTON.—A lady residing
in 'Germantown has recently directed her attention
to the cultivation of cotton, in which she has proved
quite successful. The cotton was cultivated more
for ornament than use, but its success Was so encou
raging, that the lady picked, seeded, and prepared
sufficient with her own hands, from which to make
a finely quilted skirt. She considers herself en
tirely independent of the South, so far as a supply of
raw cotton is concerned, and her example is worthy
of the imitation of every lady in Pennsylvania.
TAX ON REAL ESTATE.—The commission
to revise and codify the State revenue laws, com
prised of Messrs. William McClellan, of Chambers
burg; Robert B. McComb, of Lawrence county;
and M. Russell Thayer, of Philadelphia, have been
for some months engaged in their duties in this city,
and have now nearly finished their labors. The im
portant result attained is that they are able to re
commend a reduction of the tax on real estate to one
mill on the dollar. •
ELECTION' OF OFFICERS.—AL an election
held by Company G, Gray Reserves, for conunis
sioned officers, the following were chosen : The
former orderly sergeant, Mr. H. J. White, was
unanimously elected captain, and the quartermaster
sergeant, Mr. J. C. Wray, first Lieutenant. Mr. G.
W. Wharton received a large majority of the votes
polled for second lieutenant; Mr. 0. Penistan for
orderly sergeant, and Mr. j, Huggard for secretary.
TUE BOARD OF TRADE REGIMENT.—CO.
A, Captain Hawthorne, of this regiment, will re
ceive their bounty to-day. This is the first full com
pany of the new three-year regiments. Companies
C and F are nearly full. The success of Colonel
Ernenwein thus far has been quite flattering, and
there is . no doubt of the early tilling up of the regi
ment.
A. NEW STEAMER.—JOhn K. Kirkman,
of Wilmington, has contracted with a company of
gentlemen residing in Philadelphia and Chester, Pa.,
to build a steamer 175 feet on deck, 26 feet breadth
'of beam,.lo feet 6 inches in lower hold, and 7 feet 3
inches tßktween decks. The propelling whgel will
he 10 fett in diameter. She will carry about 700
tons.
FIDE.—The alarm of lire, about 5' o'clock
yestecday morning, was caused by the bu - rning of
some combustibles in the lager-beer saloon of Con
rad Klein, Third and Harmony streets. The fire
companies were called out by the State House bell,
but their services were not required. The . flames
were extinguished before any deinage had been done.
FROZEN TO ° DE:ATM—Yesterday morning
the body of an unknown woman was found in the
hay-mow of a barn, located in the Twenty-fourth
ward, near the Gray's Ferry Bridge. The deceased
is supposed to have gone into the barn to sleep, and
been'frozen to death during the night.
CoiccEnT.—A conceit of noted colored
singers takes place et Sansom-street Hall to
morrow evening. Among those snnouneed in the
programme we see the names of the Black Swan,
AI iss Scilgwick, and .Mareo, the great tenor singer.
l I I HE BOARD OF SCHOOL CONTROLLERS.—

And whereas, graduates of the Girls' High School
receive, at the ages of seventeen and eighteen, certi
ficates of qualifications for teaching on an average
of sixt and as scholars are eligible for admission
to the Girls' High School at the age of fourteen, and
as the questions given at the Girls' High School are

THE POLICE.
TWENTY-FOURTH WARD ELECTION CASE
Thomas H. Fagan, William Force, Fred; Oster
belt, J T. Lodge, and James Torbert, five of the nine
election judges of the Twenty•fourth ward, had a
final hearing before Alderman Beitler yesterday.
The charge preferred against the defendants was
that of fraudulently issuing a certificate of election
to Philip Lowry, Jr., one of the candidates in that
ward, at the recent election, for Select Council.
Charles Gilpin, Esq., appeared for the-Common
wealth ; Lewis 0. Cassidy, Esq., for the defence.
There were no additional witnesses examined. -
Mr. Gilpin, for the prosecution, addressed the ma
gistrate in substance as follows: He asked that the
defendants be hound over for issuing a certificate of
election in violation of their sworn duty and the
law. He aid not ask it with any feeling of unkind
ness or partisanship, but as a duty he owed to the
Commonwealth, the people of Philadelphia, and the
District Attorney, whom he represented. The case
may seem small, or of a trifling nature, to sonic gen
tlemen, but it should not be forgotten that the
prompt application of law, already violated, tends
to prevent any further violation. Small beginnings
are apt to be followed by larger, and if, from caprice
or otherwise, men will go beyond the law, they
ehould be checked at once,,or else there will be an
end to self-government.
Mr. G. now proceeded to say that he had mingled
much in public life, and had spent much of his tune
among the people in their elementary assemblages,
tending to their organization, and he had seen the
evils resulting from the first Step taken in disregard
ing the principles of law. The fate of . an empire
may depend upon a single vote, and therefore the
first attempt to subvert the expressed will of the
people should be collared at once. If we do .not do
so, then we permit a blow to be struck at the rights
of every one, even the Government itself. Mr. G.
proceeded at great length, happily introducing' the
present rebellion, that at first hada small beginning,
&c. In relation to impounding the certificate handed
to Mr. Lowry, he said that he did not desire to take
possession of it at the present time, but suggested
that it be so held that it might be obtained at any
time whenever the Commonwealth should want it.
Mr. Cassidy, for the defence, said that he did not
intend to reply to the speech of the gentleman who ap
pears for the Commonwealth, but would say that he
would not bind himself to refrain from giving the cer
tificate to Mr. Lowry, in case he should want it at
any:.time. As to the question of impounding it, ha
said that is a matter for future discussion, and in a
speech of some length, Mr. C. contended that nothing
had been proven against any of the defendants, ex
cept that, in accordance with the law, the precinct
judges assembled, counted up the votes, and a ma
jority, of them voted in favor of .granting the certifi
cate to Mr. Lowry. He could not see anything
wrong in this. Besides this, there certainly was not,
nor can there be, produced a particle of evidence that
the judges assembled with the intent to commit
crime ; and he suggested that unless the intent be
proved, they cannot be held even to answer. He said
he was instructed to say that his clients were will
ing to meet the charge, and if the alderman thought
there was probable cause to bind them to appear at
court, they were ready to enter bail in any reason
able amount.
The alderman required hail in the sum of $7OO
each, which was entered at once, and the defendants
and their friends left the office. There is much in
terest manifested in this case. The office was pretty
well crowded with listeners, among whom we re
cognized the faces of lending ward politicians of the
several political parties.
trI 4 .:NATURAL CRIME
A German woman named Teresa Rossner, whose
sign, at house No. 147 Green street, sets forth
that she. was a doctress, was arraigned before Aid.
Beitler yesterday afternoon on the charge of abor
tion. The details of the evidence are revolting to
the moral sense, and therefore unfit for these co
lumns.
Five witnesses were examined, among whom was
a young woman who had been victimized by the de
fendant. Her statement wys made without reserva
tion, and was positively against the accused. The
latter, however, with unblushing effrontery, denied
ever having seen the witness. While another woman
was detailing her evidence, she said that the doctress
had some domestic difficulty with her husband, upon
which the defendant called her a "liar."
The witness became exceedingly indignant, so
much so that her tongue ran much faster than her
judgment, and a perfect bedlam occurred, which the
magistrate could not check. It required the effort
of two or three detectives to prevent a collision,
Fortunately for bonnets and feathers, the parties
were kept apart, and finally the witness was accom
panied into the detectives' room, where she told
more of the unnatural crime than would probably
be admitted under the ruling of the law. The names
of several women said to have been under the profes
sional attendance of Doctress Itossner were handed
to the magistrate, but were not publicly announced.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the accused was
sent to prison to await her trial. For gross enormity
the case stands almost without a parallel. .
punro, llEGOINM!
Three men named David McCarty, Thoi. Wnrd,
and Robert Ilathbone, were committed yesterday,
by Alderman Brazier, to answer the charge of the
larceny of a pocket-book containing about ninety
dollars, the property of the proprietor of a public
house on Cherry 'street. The evidence developed
the fact that the three defendants, one of whom has
lost an arm, came into the tavern to get something to
drink.. While the- landlord was trying to make
change, he laid his pocket-book, with the money in
It, upon the bar. .Presently it disappeared and as
nobody was near the spot where it was laid, the
proprietor suspected them of hilying • purloined;
the same. Mkr these suspicious circumstances,
the alderman ordered them to cuter bail to answer.
The defendants stoutly deny the charge.
A WOMAN SHOT AT UPPER VILLE.—It is
• stated that during the expedition of General Stahl
a part of his command was reconnoitring around
Upperville, Va., when a squad of Confederate cat•al
ry was encountered. Among them were seen two
• women, suPposed to be disguised spies. Shots were
exchanged, and one of the women received a bullet
in her leg., 'fractining the bone. .She was captured,
and displayed much indignation at the man who in
• ti feted the wound.

THOS. S. MITCHELL.
The signatures to these papers it was admitted
were genuine, but it was alleged by the defence that.
the body of each hap been fraudulently written over
the genuine signature. In supports of this, a great
deal of testimony was adduced, showing that the
defendant's testator. Thomas S. Mitchell, was a con
vcyancerresiding in this city, and engaged in a large
and extensive practice, In September, 1854, he left
the United States on a pleasure tour through Europe
and to Asia Minor, and on the 16th of .Tanuary,lBss,
died at Damascus. The news of his death reached
here in March, and, on the 20th of April, Douglass
presented to the executor a claim for the $2,600 note,
and subsequently for the s3,soojudgment note, which
had been entered up. These notes were written on
small pieces of paper, and their existence, for the
first time, thus became' known. From the well
known neatness and carefulness of the decedent, in
business and money matters, his executor'deemed it
highly improbable that he had executed these papera
and accordingly refused paying them. Besides this;
the plaintiff was a colored • man ; had been employed
by the decedent in his life time; was not known to
possess Money ; and while he alleged that the con
sideration of these notes Was loans made by him to
Mr. Mitchell, that gentleman's bank book or books
and papers showed no memorandum of the receipt
of any such amount as these, notes respectively
called for.
On the other hand, the plaintiff showed that he
was a free negro, born in the State of South Caro
lina; whence, in 1648, he removed with his wife's
family to Philadelphia, bringing with him several
thousand dollars ; that he subsequently went to
California, from where he remitted to his wife, in
the course of a year, nearly $4,000, which she de
posited in the Western Saving Fund. In 1851 he re
turned from California, bringing with him $2,500 in
gold. Investments of this money - in mortgages and
ground rents, by .John C. Mitchell, brother of de
cedent, were also • proven, which were afterwhrds
sold by plaintiff, and this is the money alleged to
have been loaned to Thomas S. Mitchell. Besides a
draft by plaintiff, on Mr. Mitchell, for $5,009. and ac
cepted by him, was proved, and given , in • evidence.
There was a great deal of evidence introduced into
the case, however, that was very contradictory. The
trial lasted ten days, and finally resulted in favor of
the plaintiff, damages being assessed in his favor to
the »mount of $8;206.26. The ease was certified into
the Supreme Court in 'Banc, where it was argued,
and the judgment in the court below affirmed-May
15; 1860. Of this judgment $558.71 hits been paid,
that amount having been realized from the personal
estate Or the decedent. That does not, however,
cover the plaintiff - 4i Mil of costs, which amounts to
$943.49, so that actually he has not received a cent
of his judgment as yet.
This writ of wire facia.s et executio non was issued
on the 11th of February, 1861, for the purpose of
charging the real estate of the decedent in the hands
of his devisees, Clara and Emily Mitchell, who are
also his children, and by law they can contest the.
judgment on original grounds.. They have accord
ingly pleaded that Thomas S. Mitchell was not in
debted to the plaintiff; and issue was joined on that
plea. As to the administrator, it le admitted that
the formerjtidgment is.conelusive. . •
The case for the plaintiff was opened yesterday
morning by 'William H.-Rawle, Esq. He offered in
evidence, first the record of the original suit, and
the judgment herein, February 12, 1859, for $8,206.25.
Next, he offered the will of Thomas S: Mitchell for
the purpose of showing that by it J. Enstburn Mit
chell was appointed sole testamentary g - uardtan of
the minors, and continued so to act until January,
1860, when Samuel N. :thaws was appointed guar
dian in his stead. The plaintiff then closed. •
R..C. Mciffurtrie, Esq.,
then opened for the de
fence. The general allegations of fraud find 'forgery
are the same, but, in addition thereto, it is alledged
that other evidence of that character will be sub
mitted, which it was not in the power of the defence
to present at the former trial. This evidence will
consist of the testimony of T. Esetburn Mitchell,
who, since the former_trial, has settled his accounts,
and been discharged as executor, and, in his place,
Joseph W: Miller, appointed administrator de Loomis
non cum testament° annexe. It refers to the presenta
tion of the claim of Mr. Douglass soon after the
news of Mr. Mitchell's death reached this country ;
other allegations of fraud are also made. •
The first witness called was produced to prove
that he was present at an Interview between. the
plaintiff and J. Eastburri Mitchell, in relation to his
claim. Counsel for the plaintiff here stated that"
they intended to raise a question Which aright dis
pose of all the testimony in the case. The point
they should make was that the proceedings in the
first cause were conclusive. It was agreed, however,
in order not to detain the witness, that his testi
mony should be taken de bone me, and the point ar
gued this morning. With this understanding the
witness proceeded to state that the plaintiff called at
the office of J. Easthurn Mitchell, on the 20th of
April,•lBss.- What pissed at the interview he could
not state. The Court, on the conclusion of this tes
timony, adjourned until this morning. •
William H. Rawle and William L. Hirst, Ems.,
appear for the plaintiff', and R. o..Mphlurtrie and
M, Russell Thayer, Esqs., for the defendants. _

LADELPHIA.
_ - •
• The object of the following certificates is to show that
cures at 1220 WALNUT Street • are permanent and re
liable. The first care was performed nearly three years
ago, the 'second was performed nearly one year ago, the
third about one year, and hundreds more of like cases
might be shown. - •
READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY. •
About twelve months ago 4 had a severe attack of
Diabetes, attended with other difficulties too numerous
to mention. My desire for drink was constant, and al
though I drank gallons per day, my thirst was never
allayed; I was only able to sleep at short intervals,
which seemed like a trance. The mucous surface of my
mouth and throat had become so parched and feverish,
that I was in constant misery. I was also suffering
from all the horrors of Dyspepsia, loss of appetite, Nau
sea, and frequent and severe attacks of vomiting; and so
prostrated was my general system, that d was scarcely
able to move about. I had availed myself of the science
and skill of distinguished medical men, both of the Alio-
Peale and llomninpathic school, and exhausted their
catalogue of remedies, but found only temporary relief.
In this condition, when every ray of hope seemed pare
-13-Led, I heard of the discovery of Professor Bolles in the
use of Electricity, and the wonders he was performing in
curing disease, and placed 'myself under his treatment;
and, to the astonishment of myself and friends, in two
operations my Diabetes was controlled, and other diffl
-culties soon disappeared ; my hppetite has returned, sleep
undisturbed, and, in fact, I feel like one made anew.
I would further state that I have seen other remark
able cares performed by Prof. Bolles, and would advise
the diseased to call at Walnut street, and be restored
to health. I shall be glad to give any one information
calling ou me. THOMAS lIARROP
,• Rose Mill, West Philadelphia.
Philadelphia., May Ist, MO. •
Read the following from a preacher of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, No. 1683 Helmuth street, Philadel
phia:
In attempting a definition of my disease, I can only
. give some of the many symptoms which, taken altoge
ther, were the most horrid ; and even medical men did
• not know my disease from pathological symptom. How
ever, Professor C. 11. Bolles, by whom I was cured, lo
cated my disease in the pelvic viscera, in five minutes
after I entered his office, and offered to warrant a perfect
cure in eight applications. And 1 frankly admit that in
eight applications of Electricity, administered by Pro
fessor BOLLES, IMO Walnut street, Philadelphia, I am
perfectly cured; anti to me this is most astonishing, for I
had exhausted the catalogue of old-school remedies, and
grew worse all the time.
I had long believed that in Electricity resided a potent
agent for the cure of disease, if a right application could
be made ; and now I can comprehend, front its powerful
effects on ins, fora speedy cure, although no shocks were
given. All was pleasant, and accomplished as. itby
magic.
I will give most of m symptoms, for the benefit of
suffering lanni y,
anity. I had dyspepsia, bad mammas, or
wasting of the tissues of the whole body • at times a
difficulty of breathing, some palpitation of the heart,
much bronchitis, trembling of the limbs after exercise,.
aversion to business and company ; at times gloomy, ina
bility to collect my thoughts vigorously.on any subject,
a loss of memory, pain in various parts of the body; suf
fered much from lumbago, deranged secretions of the
kidneys and other glands of the system, constant drag
ging pains in the lumbar region, and severe nervous diz
ziness.
I believe it is my duty, as a lover of humanity, to re
commend this discovery of Professor BOLLES to fthe
afflicted of all classes. There seems to be uo guesswork,
no confusion no matter of doubt in his treatment. Ile
proceeds on fixed principles, and accordingto fixed laws,
which seem to me infallible and, harmonious. He war
rants, by special contract, the Most obstinate, chronic
and acute cases, and charges nothing, if he Ms. I ad
vise all of the diseased to try his treatment.

ANOTHER CURE OF PARALYSIS OF THE LOWER
LIMBS (Paraplegia) AND APOPLEXY COMBINED.
Read the following:
PHILADELVRTA, March Si, Bel
PROFESSOR BOLLES, l Walnut street: The remarka
ble cure which I have derived from your method of ap
plying Electricity compels me to thus acknowledge the
great obligations I am under to you for snatching me, as
it were, from immediate death. About two years ago,
while a resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, I was visited with
an-attack of paralysis of the lower extremities, which
rendered me almost entirely unable to stand upon my
limbs.. I employed some of the most celebrated physi
cians to be found in that section, but received no appa
rent benefit, and after a lapse of about eighteen months
was taken with a spasm, which one of my-physicians
Pronounced a fit of apoplexy. Two weeks elapsed from
that time before I became the least conscious of anything
that had transpired, nor could I concentrate my mind or
converse upon any subject without becoming very vi
sionary and excited, until I placed myself under your
valuable treatment. After my arrival in Philadelphia
my attention was called to your treatment by a pamphlet
handed me by my father, which contained the names of
some gentlemen whom I had been formerly acquainted
with, and whose statements /- could rely upon. I imme
diately made up my mind to place myself under your
treatment. I have now been the recipient of four treat
ments, andl now feel perfectly- satisfied that I am re
stored to a sound condition, and theibre feel it my duty
to gratefully acknowledge the benefits which I have re
ceived throughyour treatment.
Very respectfully yours, Ste.,
WILLIAM' H. SHAIN,
Publisher of the National Merchant, office 1:W, South
SECOND Street, Philadelphia.
N. B.—lt will be well for the diseased to recollect that
Prof. B. has given a word of caution in his pamphlet to
guard them against trusting their health in the hands of
those iu this city claiming to treat diseases according to
his discovery. This caution may seem severe on those
using Electricity at hmard, but it is the severity of truth,
and designed for the good of humanity. See advertise
