C I AS TREES.—TiIO CliriatillaS trees for sale in the vicinity of Eighth and Market pre sent the appearance of overgrown evergreens. An immense quantity of these wintry blooms allure a great number of purchasers. To little folks, they suggest a vision of a bettu-idenl Christmas tree, illu minated, and all but ablaze with the glowing hues of myriad-tinted lamps. They arc suggestive of "good ies" done up in miniature cornucopice, " ohock-full" of the saccharine concentration, of dancing dolls, and devils-in-boxes, of monkeye.on-the-pole, and toy tight.ropeda ricers. To old, onthe reminiscence-loving A buyers, it speaks of past years of unlimited festivity. v To those who wander back far into the Christmas lore of primitive days, it whispers of the times when jokes, laughter, repartee, forfeits, and dances were blended amid the orgies bf wassail bowls and bowls of punch, the glories of soused bear's head and silver platters, and all the slighter pleasantries of riddles, conjuring, snap-dragon, and habcockles. Evergreens should claim reve tense not because of their perennial beauty only, but also because of the antiquity of their use. The present mode in which they are used as decorations are remnants of Druidical practices. Sylvan spirits used to think its boughs would protect them from the fingers of the frost. The mistletoe, beautiful in its nature as in its name, in its history and array of legendary song; the ivy, the laurel, and the rose mary, were long ago selected and employed as the natural embellishments furnished by the holiday wintry season. Chaplets, glossy-green, beauty bright, and delicately Intertwined, crowned fresh foreheads, and engaged fair fingers in their fabrics.- tion.r A hundred of tfigbld English customs have died out. The German custom, having been hum granted, still remains. A look at the streets, where trees are for tile, Li enough to convince one that thousands of Philadelphia homes will this year be rendered more bright antibeautiful than is now their wont by the preparation and display of the happy Christmas trees. TILE CASE . OF THOMAS S. DUFFIELD— LNVOITrOATIOIN OP TILE 003CMITTHE OF (korxcir.s. —lt will be remembered that, on Thursday last, Common Council adopted a resolution referring to a special committee of live members the papers and documents upon which that body, on the previous week, declared vacant the seat of Mr. Thomas J. burnout, a member from the Eighteenth ward. The resolution authorizes the appearance of Mr. Duffield at the investigation, either by counsel or otherwise. The committee have held two meetings, at which a large number of witnesses have been present. Mr. David Sellers, at the opening of the investigation, rend a protest against the action of the committee, and also an affidavit of Mr. Duffield in reference to the case. The first witness examined was Thomas J. Tim mins, who, being sworn, testified as follows: I have known Mr. Duffield ten or eleven months ; was em ployed at the U. S. Arsenal until the latter part of October; I always respected Mr. Duffield as the su perintendent of the arsenal yard ; he was always re cognized as such by every employee ; knew him as such three weeks ago ; when I wantedhands to work for me I always applied to him; Mr. Alligood, mili tary storekeeper, appointed Mr. Duffield ; Mr. Atli good was appointed by the Secretary of War ; he re ceived his pay monthly; do not know that he re ceived it from paymaster Gibson ; when I left the arsenal there appeared to be a conflict of authority between Col. Crosman and Capt. Martin, out to who had Jurisdiction over Duffield. John Donegan sworn.—l know Mr. Duffield; he was the general superintendent of arsenal; do not know his salary; heard from the cloc' that it was $l,OOO per annum; when I was first employed at the arsenal, I waited upon Capt. Alligood as to my du ties, and he referred me to Mr. Duffield, who at once employed me; Mr. Duffield was always looked upon AB the second in command about the yard; he never assisted in loading or unloading goods to my know ledge; I heard him on one occasion say to the boss painter that he did not wish to Interfere with his de partment; witness presented a note signe d " Thos. J. Duffield, general superintendent, &c.; Mr. Duf field never performed laborer's work; the laborer gets $1.26 per diem. Edmund Barr sworn.—l know Mr. Duffield only by Introduction; lie signed his name to bills as gene ral superintendent; I am not now employed at the arsenal; do not know who instructed, him to sell goods. Lieut. 001. Crosman sworn.—l am Deputy Quar termaster, U. S. A., having In charge the arsenal on Gray's Ferry Road ; Mr. Du ffi eld is employed as la borer on the li st of laborers, with the title of super intendent ; his salary is $83.33 per month ; he is under Me direction and control afCa pt. Martin; he holds no com mission, but only an appointment from me; on thtpay roll, he is the same as 111 r. Irvin, one of the irlfipec tors, but on a different abstract. Q. Does Mr. Duffield labor with his hands A. No ; he superintends the labor done. • Q. What do you mean V e t laborert A. I consider the first o r or mate of a ship as a laborer. mis Q sione , Is t e officer Ihe mat of a ship, or a lieutenant, a com d • A. Yea. Q. Do you know of Mr. Duffield ever having dis charged any one. A. No. Captain Martin sworn.—l am the commissioned military storekeeper at the Gray's Ferry Arsenal. Mr. Duffield is superintendent of the laborers in the yard. I increased his pay myself. He ts directly un der my control, and 7101 under Mat of the department at Washington; his office was created by necessity, and not by Act of Congress. On cross-examination, the witness said that Mr. Duffield was recognized at Washington as the general superintendent of the yard. He has the right to sign my name to bills ; he has no right to discharge men, or take them on, without my sanction; at times I di rect him to employ men. Andrew McGrath, sworn.—l know Mr. Duffield; when at the arsenal I always looked upon him as next to the captain : i was superintendent of a sang of laborers, and received $32 per month. The witness was asked if lie had ever discharged or employed men, to which he answered that he had not. Bernard M. Toole was also examined, but his evi dence had no bearing on the case. James Sheerer sworn.-1 was employed at the arsenal, and always recognized Mr. Duffield as Irene. rat superintendent; he employed me last July; 1 was discharged at the end of the month; I went to Capt. Martin to ask the reason therefor, and he sent me back with a note to Mr. Duffield, who employed rue again; at the end of the month I was again dis charged by him; Mr. Duffield employs two clerks and a tneseenger in his office. Here the evidence was concluded for the present. The committee, it is thought, will not be ready to report on the ease nt the meeting of Councils this afternoon. As the evidence now stands, nothing less than a report decidedly in favor of 'Mr. Duffield can be made. The following statement will show the posi tions of the various officials at the Schuylkill Arse nal, and how they were appointed About June last, Col. Crosinan, Deputy Quarter master General U. S. A., in command of the depart ment of Army clothing, camp, and garrison equipage, in this city, directed a reduction to be made of the clerical and other forces employed at the Schuylkill Arsenal, and its branches, at Chestnut and Twenty fourth streets, Twenty-third and Filbert streets, and Twenty-first and Spruce streets. He also took steps to vacate the premises at Twenty-third and Filbert, and Twenty-first and Spruce streets, in order to lessen the expenses of the Government; he believ ing there was no nt eessity for such a large force of employees, end the renting of buildings outside of the arsenal. In discharging some of the clerks, Col. Crosman retained those whom he deemed best qualified and most watchful for the interest of the Clovernment, (there having been a great necessity for a change And a reform, in this respect at the arsenal). He, therefore, regulated the positions of those retained, as follows: W.J.J. Pollock, chief clerk ; Jos. S. Paul, audit ing clerk ; Joseph Cooper, bill clerk; George R. Sc-. wage, issue clerk; Theo. Albright, abstract clerk (attached to auditing clank) ; Benjamin Mifflin, let ter clerk and Messrs. Work and Rockefeller, in voice clerks ; Edward Hutch, principal receiver; W. Gibson, pay clerk ; Thomas J. Duffield, general su perintendent of workmen; Wm. Meade, assistant superintendent. In addition to these officers, there are assistants to the bill, invoice, and issue clerks, receiver, and pay clerk. There are also Mr. Irvine, superintendent of clothing, who gives out all the clothing, Sc., that is to be made up by the women employed at the arsenal; also, chief inspector of clothing, ice., Neal Campbell, and an assistant; Snmuel S. Kelly, Perkins, and other assistant in spectors, who do the principal part of the work of inspection ; Mr. Neel), inspector of tents; Mr. Etter, inspector of kmvpisicks and haversacks; Mr. Faulk ner, inspector of boots and bootees, and leather; Mr. Parsons, superintendent of the boots and bootees that are given out to be made up ; Mr. Dubree, mea surer of leather; Mr. McGrath, receiver; Mr. Test, receiver; and a number of other receivers. There are ;elect numerous assistants to all of the above named officers, and numerous other minor positions. The number of assistants taken on was owing to the increase of business at the arsenal, and these will be dropped, no doubt, from the list as soon as the Colonel directs that the force must be lessened, which, we understand, he has already done, now that the demand for army supplies la not so great as in August and September, when supplies were fur nishedto the new levy of men and those already in the field. Colonel Crostnazi has the jurisdiction of the arsenal, and all appointments and discharges must be approved by him, although the minor offl ece generally are created by the military store keeper and sent to the former for approval. We can not see how any employee is to determine the fact of an officer being one thing or another. The head of the department is the only man who can prove what position Mr. Duffield holds. The grave error supposing Dlr. Duffield to be general superintend ent of clothing must have originated in the follow ing manner : The note or letter paper used at the Arsenal has a printed heading, it Clothing Deportment tf Schuylkill Arsenal." air. Duffield, writing a note on this paper, signs his name General Superintend ent, and the gentlemen in Council, no doubt, took it as general superintendent of clothing. This is another position altogether. Mr. Duffield must in future add " of laborers." THE ORGANIZATION OF COUNCILS.—The new Councils will organize at ten o'clock A. M., on the first Monday in January. A lively time is anticipated in both the Select and Common Branches. The Democrats and Republicans are alike sanguine of securing the election of the Officers of both chambers, as each party claims a majority. Until Thursday last, the hope was indulged that.the open ing of . Select Council at least would be attended with order and di coruni. 'The resignation of Mr. Catherwood, Democratic member from the Twenty fifth ward, has given a new complication to matters. The cause of Mr. IVs resignation is secretly given out as arising from some misunderstanding with his Democratic brethren in caucus. A certain member of the opposition, who would not go Into a caucus of his own party, has thus given the Democrats hope to expect that he will act with them. To entice him, they offer him the presidency of Select Council, which it was generally understood would be given to Mr. Catherwood. Anew imbroglio springs up— whO will take Air. catherwood's seatl He was elected for two yells. The act of Assembly disquali fies a member It he resides over a year out of the ward he reifies+ uts. Air. Cstherwood, it Is said, is thus disqualified. But, at the last election a candi date was put forth by the Demeeratb who was elect. eft. The Bernoeratic party, by this action, wege de termined that if they were foiled in one repreftntn tive they should hat e another. The quesHen now to be determined is whether Mr. O'Rourke, the new ly-elected member, will be legally entitled to take a seat to which soother was elected for two years. In Common Council, the difficulties 'tithe way of a peaceful and orderly organization are even greater. In two or three wards opposite candidatmswill claim their seats, and each can show certifies.* bf having been duly elected. Nothing will be left unturned to secure, if possible, a Democratic organization of Common Council. TILE lxquEsT.—Yesterday morning the coroner held an inquest on the body of Henry Bre . iner, who was choked to death whileeating his sup per at. a • restaurant at Second and South streets. While eating, he was noticed to be struggling vio lently, and the attendants, who ran to his assistance, found him to be struggling. No relief could be af forded him, - and he was carried to the Union-street station-house. A physician was soon in attendance, but before his arch al the man was dead. The de ceased had just received his discharge from the 3d S. Artillery, in which he served five years. He had his diseltatge lu his pocket, and was thus recog ;tired.

An imprirtant special meeting of the representa tives of the several railroad companies forming the direct toad between Washington and New orkwas held here yesterday, and was fully attendell. Much harmony characterized the proceedings, and mea sures of the inost thorough character were adopted, looking to the increase of the advantages of the line as the great public route of travel.. The number of the through trains, with close con nections, to accommodate the heavy travel between Washington and New York, was increased from three to four daily, while the time of all the trains now on the line is considerably reduced, and the hours of departure and arrival so revised as to pro mise greatly improved facility and comfort torts. sengers. The through trains will leave New i ork at 7 and 10 A. ItI„ and at 7,‘ and 1114 P. M., arriv ing in Washington at 6.20 and 9.40 P. hi., and at 6 and 9.45 A. M. They will leave Washington at 8 and 11 A. AI., and .3 and 6!‘ P. M., arriving in New York at 6 . 4 0 and 101'. DI. and 3 and 5.10 A. Si. Special agents of the route will travel upon each and all of the through trains constantly, and see that through passengers are properly assorted and accom modated in their own cars, and that their baggage, etc., is promptly and safely cared for. Three of the four trains are to be exclusively express, on which mere local travel will not be taken. By this a much improved certainty in the schedules will be increased. It was agreed that thirty new and splendid cars, the best that can be Lunt, should be at once put upon the line, with such running fixtures as would en able them to pass over the whole route between New York and Washington without change or interrup tion whatever. The new line arrangements will take effect on Monday, the sth of January. Steps were also taken looking to an agreement be tween the companies composing the route, by which double tracks shall be Laid down. as soon as practi cable, to further facilitate the movement of trains. A firstelass double-track direct railroad will be corn pleted between New Brunswick and Trenton, pass ing under the canal and most of the streets of the latter city. Work on the second 'track is already progressing on the Washington branch and the Philadelphia and Baltimore road. The great rail way bridge across the Susquehanna, at Havre-de- Grace, (the piers of which are begun,) will be rapidly built, and substantial embankments be substituted for the present bridges on the Philadelphia and Balti more road over the Bush and Gunpowder rivers. The transfers at Philadelphia and Baltimore will also be improved by special arrangements already in progress. As soon as the new through cars are com pleted, all the changes of passengers at Philadel phia will be avoided. ARRIVAL OF WODNDRD FROM FREDE nieusnuno.—At an early hour yesterday morning, about three hundred wounded soldiers from Frede ricksburg arrived at the Baltimore depot, Broad and Prime streets. They were received at y the Citizens' Volunteer Hospital, where their wounds were dressed by the volunteer medical stall' in attendance. Afterwards they were taken away in the ambulances of the fire companies to the different Government hospitals.

The facts of the case are few and easily stated. A passenger, who wished to ride from Johnstown to Huntingdon, attempted to purchase a ticket at the office offering a five dollar bill, which the ticket agent could not change. The passenger then took the train offering the same note, which the conductor received for the purpose of examining its genuineness. After a time, the con ductor returned the note stating that he believed it to be a counterfeit. The passenger insisted that the note which the conductor returned to him was not the same he had offered in payment of his fare ; but it was established on the trial that the note the conductor offered to give him back was the same he had received from him ; and, moreover, that the conductor was mistaken about its being a bad note; that it was a genuine note on the Delaware City Bank. The conductor then told the passenger that, unless he could pay with other money, he would have to put him oft' the train at the next station. He maul feated some unwillingness to go, and there was some difference among the witnesses as to whether the conductor took hold of him by the collar to put him out, or whether he had gone out without force. He was required to leave the cars. He then indicted the conductor for assault and battery. The judge held that, if the conductor require it of the passen ger, he, the passenger, is bound to make the change; that the conductor Is not bound to take the fare out of a note larger in amount, and furnish change to a passenger; that what occurred in the cars in reference to the five-dollar note was not a payment of the fare; and that if the passenger did not produce a ticket, or pay his fare in the cars, the conductor had a right to eject him from the cars, using no more force in doing so than is necessary. The Jury acquitted the conductor. AN EFFICIENT NURSE.—Chief nurse Mrs. Nary Simmons, a Philadelphian by birth, has, since the commencement of the war, rendezed the utmost service at the Mansion House hospital, Alexandria. At this place she so endeared herself to the soldiers, that she was known by them as "Mother." The lady has recently been appointed by the Government to the Island Hail hospital, the new one at Washing ton, completed some two or three months ago. Her present visit to this city is purely a business one, as the lady returns on Saturday. As a Philadelphian, and a lady of great charity and long experience in nursing, we are glad to notice that her services meet with appreciation. CONCERT OF SACRED MusiC.—A concert of sacred music was given at the Church of the Intercessor on Monday evening, and largely attend ed. The choruses were exceedingly well rendered by able and accom - plished singers. The interest of the audience, however, was particularly attracted by the solos. Mrs. Nevins, who has a rich, clear voice, sang with marked effect three solos. This lady, to the regret of her many friends and admirers, is about to leave our city for New York, where she will doubtless eclipse even her present musical repu tation. " Oh, Thou Omnipotent" was sung very sweetly by Mrs. Dickinson, and elicited much ap plause. The bass solo, by Mr. Etussinger, was ren dered with his customary artistic skill and effect. "Judith," a sacred operetta, very brilliant in some parts, and combining a great deal of variety and. operatic effects, was exquisitely rendered by Mrs. Lverest. This lady deserves especial mention for hetleaniess of enunciation, an attainment possessed by tew artists. With a perfect enunciation, a clear, full voice, rich in modulation and compass, and a depth of feeling appreciative of the subject, she ren dered "Judith " in the most artistic and impressive style, which was enthusiastically received by the audience. The concert was very satisfactory, both in its reception and in the funds which it has se cured for this church. COT.. MOLE_ N's REGIMENT AT .FREDE nicusnuno.—Among the many noble and gallant solilien engaged in the battle at Fredericksburg, few are entitled to more praise than Captain Wrn. J. liarkisheimer commanding Company I, Stith Penn sylvania. This regiment, formerly commanded by Col. Geo. P. McLean, added fresh laurels to its fair fame by the bravery displayed in this battle. They went into the tight with but one hundred and forty men, and at one stage of the battle were ordered to charge on a rebel regiment of seven hundred. It was in this charge that Capt. Harkisheimer acted sp well ; he led his men so successfully as to capture forty prisoners, and kill some thirty more. In the charge, Captain H. was injured so badly by a fall as probably to prevent his taking charge again of his company. 'DONATIONS TO THE HOINICEOPATHIC HOSPI TA L.—The following donations to the Hommopathic Hospital, No. 1118 Cuthbert street, are acknow ledged by the corresponding secretary, Mrs. H. N.

The lady visitors of the Hommopathie Hospital re spectfully solicit donations for a Christmas dinner to the sick and'wounded Soldiers in the hospital. TIIE WOUNDED OF GENERAL BIRNET'S CO3IIIAND.—The wounded men of General Bimey'a division, which fought so splendidly at Fredericks burg, are suffering severely for want of under. clothing, such as shirts, drawers, nicks, etc. and they are also much in want of various delicacies so grateful to the sick, such as sweetmeats and other articles not supplied by the Govesament. We are desired to say that any contributions of these articles sent to Airs. General Bumey, No. 19*.b) Race street, will be promptly forwarded.

BIBLE UNION MEETING. —A large anti in fluential meeting was held at the Baptist Publication House in this city on Monday afternoon, when the Rev. Warren Randolph was called to the chair, and thediev. Mr. Vastle, of West Philadelphia, acted as secretary. The object of the meeting was to listen to' a lecture, which was delivered by the Rev. T. J. Conant. D.D., on the revision of the Bible. This venerable and learned scholar has been in the city forseveral days, and, on the afternoon named, met a gathering of Baptist ministers from this city and vicinity. He gave a clear exhibition of lite princi ples on which he Bible Union, of which he is one, is founded, of the manner it proceeds in its work, and of the great Biblical and literary resources of which it avails itself in prosecuting that work, Dr. Mutant was listened to with great respect, and vote of thanks was unanimously passed. We have been favored with the following resolutions, sub mitted by the Rev. Dr. Dickinson, editor of the Christian Chronicle, and pastor of the First Baptist Church of Wilmington, Delaware, passed at the meeting: Resolved, That we accept the recent reverses that have befallen our anus as significant indications that God is teaching this nation that " the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong.% &salmi, That these disasters conspite with other events to indicate that it is the will of Providence that the American Union is to be preserved only by the overthrow of the institution of human slavery. Resolred, That we hereby reassure the President of our cordial approval of his proposed proclamation of emancipation, and, while deploring the causes that have rendered it a military necessity, that we nevertheless rejoice in the fact that it is a measure in itself in perfect harmony with the eternal prin ciples of right, with the best interest of the white and colored population of our land, with the de mends of a Ohristian civilization, the general wel fare of mankind, and the good pleasure of God, Resolved, That we assure the President of our con fidence in his purpose not to be deterred from issuing the said proclamation of emancipation, on the first day of January, 1663, either by the entreaties of friends, the threatenings of foes, or by the present trial of the nation's faith ; but that he will throw himself and the country upon the providence of that God who brought his ancient people to the Red Sea, and then bade them "go forward.) , Resolved, That we recommend the observance of the lastdfty of this year as a,day of earnest prayer to Almighty God for His blessing upon the antici pated proclamation, and the observance of the first day 9f January next as a day of thanksgiving in view of its utterance. Resolved, That a copy of these •resolutions be for warded to the President with the assurance of our profound sympathy with him in his present efforts to save this nation.

Barney lifelllhenny, whose photograph has a place in the Rogues' Gallery, was arraigned before Alder man White, yesterday,. on the charge of the larceny of apicture, representing Daniel Webster address ing the United States Senate. The evidence • set forth that the defendant and two or three other persons stopped at the oyster house of Mr. McClean, on Pine street, above Fifth, and, having indulged in bivalves, tendered a note in payment. The pro prietor absented himself from the saloon to get some change. When he came back he missed a picture from the wall. Starting out, he finally saw the de• fendant at Eighth and Locust streets, with the stolen picture in his possession. An officer was called, and the accused was taken into cuejody. He was com mitted in default of $l,OOO bail. Daring Robbery. Frank Johnson, a, colored man, was charged be fore the same magistrate with stealing a lot of candy from the store of Mary and. Catherine Divine, two sisters, on Fifth street, below Walnut. The defend ant entered the store on Monday night, and tried to rob the money drawer. Failing in this, be picked up a box of candy, valued at two 'dollars, with which he walked away. One of the sisters gave the alarm, and the daring fellow was captured without much trouble.. He was committed in default of $BOO bail to answer. A Row on Front Street. Yesterday morning the neighborhood of Front and Walnut streets was thrown into commotion, be cause an individual suddenly made an attack upon the public house of Mr. Polett. Several panes of glass were smashed to atoms, and some persons within the bar-room narrowly escaped the boulders Thrown by the infuriated man. lie was arrested and taken at once before Alderman White, to whom he gave the name of George Fredericks. The evidence was the defendant applied at the house of Mr. Polett for some liquor ; the proprietor thought he had enough already and cleared him out. The fel. low desisted, and was finally put out with just such force as was necessary to accomplish this work, lie was committed. [Before Mr. Alderman Dougherty.] Discharged. Pabmick Cutter, who was held for a hearing on the charge of committing an assault and battery on Mr. Schoneberger, on Sunday evening, the particulars of which have already been given, had a final hear ing yesterday before Alderman Dougherty. The evidence was positive that he was not the sol dier who pulled the nose of the proprietor. The de. fendant was honorably discharged. (Before Mr. Alderman 13eltler.l An Important Arrest of Alleged Shop. Utters. Yesterday afternoon Detectives Bartholomew La. mon, Henderson, and Carlin started on a leisure stroll among the stores on Eighth street. They made their observations ? such as only true detectives can do, and on comparing notes, came to the conclusion that two women,who mingled in the throng,were pro festional shop-lifters. When they were first seen on Eighth street, they appeared to be dressed according to the fashion. In the course of a couple of hours they had grown wonderfully; in fact, the skirts of ~ their dresses, that trailed the sidewalk at first, did not now reach the pavement by a couple of inches. At first they appeared to be well-shaped ladies; but now they were so decidedly obese that they looked like silk-covered overgrown specimens of humanity. Walking to them seemed a tiresomejob. After little while they emerged from the throng and started down a cross street, and entered a certain public house, where larger beer is served to ladies in the second story. The officers entered shortly after; and it is supposed imbibed, or rather called for four lagers. Two of the detectives ascended, and, on en tering the ladies' room, found the two women dis robing themselves of a considerable quantity of dry goods, chiefly of dress patterns, which it is supposed they had stolen. It was not longbefore awowner or two were found for some of the goods. This Was the only link wanted to fasten conviction on the parties, and they were at once taken to the station house for a hearing. Some goods were recovered that await owners. The prisoners have not been long in this city. As they were about to descend into the lock up yesterday afternoon, we heard an expression made by one of two ladies passing by at the time; "what a shame it is to take up such well-dressed Indica." Both the prisoners are married women, lady-like in their manners, and very well calculated to deceive. The officers subsequently arrested two men on the charge of being implicated with the women. The prisoners gave the names of Bridget Ward, Margaret Montgomery, Wm. Fanning, and Andrew Kelly. They were locked up to await a hearing on Satur d,ar afternoon at 2 o'clock. One of the prisoners said she is a respectable woman of New York, and t at she was here for the purpose of buying goods by the invoice. Alderman Beitler t before whom the party were arraigned last evening, asked her why she carried all the goods beneath her clothing. Oa this point ehe was particularly dumb. The whole party were committed where, in all human proba bility, they will have prison are for their Christmas dinner. Some port-monnalelS and ladles' cabas, or leather satchels were recovered. Tkey await owners at the Central Station. Storekeepers would do well to call upon any of the above named officers, at the Central Station, before Saturday. Look Out for Pickpockets. It Is generally understood among the knowing ones of the detectives that the Philadelphia professional pickpockets, becanse of the " ninety-day law, ,, have lied the city, and are now plying their nefarious business in other places. There are plenty of the profession in our city but they are new here, yet they are evidently adroit thieves. Yesterday after noon, a lady was relieved of her port-monnaie, con taining the sum of $BO, at Second and Callowhill streets. it is probable that others lost their pocket-books On Second street, as that ancient thoroughfare was pretty well crowded during the afternoon. To-day the market stands will be more than usually , at. tractive, and the attendants in search of Christmas turkeys should be careful of their money-purse or they might find themselves suddenly bereft of the wherewithal to purchase the necessaries for the pro pa. observance of the day of enjoy - meat that will dawn tomorrow. The many fine stores that adorn the city draw great crowds of admirers. In some instances storekeepers have had posted in glaring letters, " Beware of Pickpockets." This is a good idea, as persons whose minds may be fully employed in admiring the beautiful might for the moment forget their pocket, and lose the material. There fore, we mutton the readers of The Press to beware of pickpockets. Passenger-ear Pickpockets.' There was noticed in this column on Monday that Mr. Herbert, a New Jersey farmer, had his pocket picked on-one of the cars on the Market-street Rail nod. Since that time information was lodged at the Central Station-house of several other similar oc currences. One gentleman lost $7O, and another gao, while riding on these cars. It seems that the pickpockets have selected this line and that of the Green and Coates for their operations. The reason of this is because they are the only lines that exact payment for fare from the detective police. Yesterday Morning a scene occurred on one of the Green and Coates-street cars, worthy of being mentioned trwe for the benefit of those people who patronize this as well es the Market-street -tine. The ear was crowded. Two gentlemen Inside observed a well dressed young man on the platform put his left bond Into the pocket of a gentleman -whom he crowded. Presently_ another well-dressed young man got off and started down a cross street. As soon as the observant gentlemen could do so con veniently they asked the other man it. he had lost anything. He said no ; he believed not. They re quested him to feel h is The ; he did so, and missed his pocket-book. The suspected party was examined; in fact, he insisted on an examination being made- Postmaster Cornelius A. Walborn happened to he among the passengers, and assisted in making a search of the suspected individual. A cast amount of indignation was expressed, and finally the postmaster thought he knew the young gentleman, and said lie was the eon of a highly re spectable citizen of Philadelphia. The young gen tleman admitted it, and very well knew Mr. Wal born. Of course he did. The other gentlemen, however, who could not doubt the evidence of their own eyes, could have nothing to say, and no pocket book was found. The loser had to pocket the logel— SCVC mill hundred dollars it is said. The detective police never use the care on the Market-street or ()Teen and Coates-street tracks. The pickpockets are aware of this, and therefore " go a gunnin g ," as it Is called,.through these roads. EIIMMtMWME hloxnar, December 22, 18112.—0 n motion of Platt Smith, Esq., It. N.

AYER'S SARSAPARILLA IS A OCW ceutrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with other sithstaneng of still greater alterative power as to afford au effective antidote for diseases Sarsaparilla is reputed to care. Such a remedy is surely wanted b those who safer from Strumons complaints, and that one winch will accomplish their cure must prove of im mense service to this large class of our afflicted fellow citizens. How completely this compound will do it has been proven by experiment on many of the worst cases to be found in the following complaints: SCROFULA AND SatoroLous GOMpLAINTS, ERUPTIO/8 AND ERUPTIVE DISEASES, ULCERS, 1"/NPLES, BLOTOIHJR/ TCNORS, SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND HT PHiLtTIC APFECTIONS,_ aiscuarar. DISEASE, -, pito ' „ NEuRALOLL OR Tic DO IiI LOBEUR, DEBILiTr, DTSPEp AND I:CDHIESTION, ERYSIPILAS, ROsE OR Sr. ANTHO 4 DISEASE, -, Dior DIM and indeed.the whole class of.complaints arlairif from larertrrror THE IlLooti. • This compound will be found a great promoteri of health when taken in the spring to expel the foul hu mors which fester In the blood at that season of the year. By the timely expulsion of them many rankling agar dere are nipped iu the bud. Multitudes can, by the ald of this remedy, spare themselves from the endnranpf of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores, through which the system will strive to rid Itself of corruptions. if not is• girded to do this through the natural channels of the body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the villa, led blood whenever you feud its Impurities bursting through the akin in pimples, eruptions. or sores: cleanse it when you And - it is obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is foul, and your feelings will tell yon when. Even where no particular disorler is felt, people enjoy better health, and live lengerofor cleansing the blood. Keep the blood healthy, and all is well; but with the pabulum of life disordered, there can be no lasting health. Sooner or later something nlnatAo wrung, and the great machinery of life is disordered , or overthrown. - . During late years the public have been misled by large bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsa parilla for one dollar. Most of these have been trends upon the sick for they not only contain little, If shy, Sarsaparilla,but often no curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disappointment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which good the market, until the namedtself Is justly despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and cheat. Still we tall this compound Sarsaparilla, and intend to supply such a remedy as shalt rescue the name from the load of obloquy which rests upon D. And we think we have ground for believing it has virtues which arc irre sistible by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intended to cure. Prepared by Dn. J. C. AYER & CO., Lowell, Massa cbusetts.
