The Mercantile J-thkahy. — A meeting
Of the stockholders 1 of the Mercantile Library will
be held on the 19th instant, to inquire into the ex
pediency of certain changes in the affairs of the oom
|>any. At the last annual meeting, it will be remem
bered, ft commitree of twenty-flve.stockholders was
appointed, at the instance of James G. Barnwell,
Esq., who should “consider the comlitioa aud pro
spects of the Library, and present to the corporation
such measures as might in their judgment best con
duce to its financial prosperity.” This committee
have recommended two important changes:
First. To duplicate the shareß of stock, so as to
give a new Bhare to each of the present stockholders,
if he be pleased to demand it.
Second. To increase the annual dues upon each
share one dollar per annum. The majority of the
stockholders have informally declared their in
tended acquiescence in the suggestions of their com
mit e.
Despite the general derangement of business,-and
the commotion existing in rhe public mind by na
tional affairs of vital interest, there has been a
increase in the number of members. The
‘•eft'ett of complying with the committee’s intima
tions will bean instantaneous duplication of the
Humber enjoying the benefits derivable from the use
of the library and reading room. It has been a re
proach to Philadelphians that the mercantile libra
ries in our sister cities have increased even in pro
portion aB the population itself augmented. In our
own Mercantile the present number of stockholders
is 2,270, and the subscribers number four hundred
and forty-four.
‘The present number of volumes in the.library is
23,8|6, the additions during the present year having
been 1,361, and the cost of these additions $1,633.99.
For nome peiusal the number of books loaned has
been nearly 70,000. It should be observed that the
constant use of the works of reference in the build
ing, as also other works used in the reading-room,
cannot be conveyed to the public by.the use of nume
rals.’ All of these benefits would be immeasurably
increased by a full compliance with the suggestions
‘ of the committee. V ;
The increased income would allow of the fulfil
ment of tbe ardent desire of moat of the stockhold
ers, the erection and-occupation of a commodious
fire-proof building towards the centre of the city j one
which would be sufficiently capacious to contain the
volumes the augmentation of revenue would fur-
;lt would enable the company, to receive from
Europe books of vital importance to the sciences
and useful arte. The cases containing works in fo
reign-languages would receive their meed of atten
tion, and, together with the other classes of books,
would vie with the Library of the German Society
in its Dumber of members ; for our adopted citizens
would quickly perceive the immense benefit they
might derive Irom the use of its shares.
Foreign newspapers would give the reading pub
lic a clearer insight into -the workings of European
Governments than can be deduced from the perusal
of the meagre telegraphic summaries contained in
our local papers. All this and much more can be
accomplished, if the members of the Library and
The general public,sustain the committee’s sugges
tions.by their voices and their deeds.
Guardi at? s or the Poor.— A stated meet
ing of this Board was held vesfcerday afternoon.
The Steward reported the receipts of the house to
have been $74 75, and the Outdoor Agent reported
having collected for support cases $132, and for emi
grant tax $3B. . -
The Agent reported the census of the House as fol
lows on Saturday:
Number in the House,
Same time last year.
Decrease:
Admitted, 150 j births,-.6 ; deaths, 22; discharged,
104; eloped; 57 2 ; granted meals during
the past two w.eeks, 67, and Irtdgingß 25. Of the in
mates 1,043 are males, and 1,431 females.
The Board of "Visitors presented their monthly re
port, showing that during the past four weeks, out
door relief had been granted t0'3,963 persons, at an
expenditure of $1,840 92. 'Of the number relieved,
75S were Americans, 890 foreigners, and 2,315 chil
dren. Thenativities were .as follows : Germany, 106
persons ; Ireland, 681 ; England, 63; Wales, 7; Scot
land, 18; France, 13; Philadelphia, 272; Pennsyl
vania, 247 ;-United States, 239.
Mr*;Server offered a resolution that all outdoor re-,
lief by the visitors be suspended, until said visitors
shall have reported to this Board the names, ages,
placeß of nativity, and color, together with number
of children, (living at home,) \vith their ages' of all
applicants for relief, with amount found . necessary
for each month; and in no case to furnish such re
lief, until passed upon by this Board, provided
temporary relief, in urgent cases, may * be made by
direction, of guardian having charge of the district;
and no relief to be granted for a longer period than
three months, without being again reported by the
visitor.
The.resolution gave rise to an animated debate. It
was objected to by some, members, on the ground
that, although it might conform to the law, it would
impose a-great expense on the city.
Mr. Erety said that there were a great many laws
on the statute books which are impracticable, and
the law which Mr. Server intended to conform to
was one of them. -
Mr. Server said that it waß not with him a ques
tion of expense, but a regard for law. It would
show that the Board were “ loyal.”
Finally, the resolution was postponed.
Mr. Erety, from the committee to advertise propo
sals for a supply of coal for the Almshouse for 1853,
reported that they had awarded to Messrs. Parvin
& Oook the contract for 3,000 tons Locust Mountain
coal, at $4.85 per ton. The action of the committee
was confirmed.
Mr. Dickinson offered a resolution, that the Com
mittee on Warming and Ventilating be instructed to
procure a plan by which thorough warming and ven
tilation maybe secured in all the buildings con
nected with the Almshouse. The resolution was
adopted.
Mr. Eret/ offered a memorial for presentation to
Councils. It states that after extensive advertising
for proposals for the supply of fuel, the Board of
Ouardianß find themselves unable to purchase with
the means at their dißposal a sufficient quantity of
coal requited for the use of the house for the entire
season.. The estimate :in the annual appropriation
was based on an assumed advance of ninety cents
per ton, and the price is now nearly one dollar per
ton over the estimated cost, and -nearly two dollars
over the cost of one year ago. -
A resolution providing that the future meetings
of the Board be held at the Almshouse was voted
clown. Adjourned.
Assessment on the Income Tax.—The
various United States • assessors will probably
commence the work of assessing the income tax
some time this week; some delay having been oc
casioned from not receiving the blanks from Wash
ington. .
Among other things, the law requires each person
to return his total Income, so far as specifying the
sources from which it is derived as to enable the as
sistant assessor to-decide what deductions Bhall be
made<therefroro. Persons whose incomes do not
exceed the sum of $lO,OOO, and who reside in the
United States, are subject to a duty of 3 per cent, on
such portion thereof as is liable to taxation; pro
vided, however, that upon an income derived from
interest upon notes, bonds, or other securities of the
United States, a duty of IK per cent, will be levied.
Persons whose incomes exceed $lO,OOO are subject
to a duty of 5 per cent, on the portion thereof sub
ject to taxation; provided, that upon an income
derived from inteieat upon notes, bonds, or other se
curities of the United States, a duty of IK per cent,
will be levied. Citizens of the (United States re
siding abroad and not in the employment of the Go
vernment of the United States, are subject to a duty
of five per cent, on the income of any property, se
curities, or stocks owned in the United States, and
not exempted from the income tax; provided, that
upon the income derived upon the notes, bonds, or
other ! securities of the United States a duty of IK
percent, will be levied.
The following deductions will he made from the
aggregate income of each person, and the tax as
sessed upon the remainder, viz: The State and local
taxes assessed in the calendar year preceding this
assessment, to wit: from January 1,1862, to Decem
ber 31,1562, inclusive. The salaries of officers, or
payments to persons in the service or employment
of the United States, from which a deduction of
three'per cent, has been made by the disbursing
officer of the Government. The interest or di-’
vidends on .stocks, capital, or deposits in any bank,
trust: company, savings institution, insurance,
bridge, express, steamboat, ferry boat, railroad
company or corporation, from which interest
or dividends a duty of three per cent, shall have
been deducted by the officers of such companies,
corporations, or -associations. Interest from any
bonds or other, evidences of indebtedness of any
railroad company or other corporation, from which
a duty of three per cent, shall have been deducted by
the officers of suph company or corporation ; ana
receipts derived Trorn advertisements on which a
duty shall have,been assessed and paid. Also, that
the sum of $6OO, except in those cases where the
whole, or any part of said $6OO shall have been de
ducted from the salaries or pay of officers or persons
in the service or employment of the United States.
The amount aetuallypaid for the rent of any dwell
ing house or estate which iB the residence of the
persons assessed, and the amount paid by any far
mer or planter for hired labor, and the necessary
repairs upon his farm or plantation, including the
subsistence of the laborers.
Whenever the total income of any person exceeds
$lO,OOO, and deductions are made therefrom upon the
ground that a portion of such income has been sub
ject to a 3 per cent, duty upon dividends or interest
paid by companies, corporations, or associations, as
before enumerated, such person will be subject to a
tax of 2 per cent, additional upon so much of his in
come as may have been previously subjected to a
duty of 3 per cent, by the officers of the companies,
corporations, or associations before named.
Whenever persons liable to assessment of income
tax shall neglect or refuse to make lists required by
law, or When the lists made and rendered by such
persons Bhall not be accepted by the asseßßor as juat
nnd proper, it shall be the duty of such assessor to
make lists for such person according to the best in
formation he can obtain. -
The New Iwternal-lleventje Stamp.—
The new stamp invented by the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue } and probably to be adopted in place
of those now in use, will have a border around the
vignette, on which are to be printed, at the top, fig
ures representing three or four years, as ’63, ’64, ! 65 }
and on the sides-and bottom the name of the month,
and figures for the dayß, from Ito 30. The method
of cancellation will be to cut out with a knife, be
fore affixiDg a stamp, the whole border, except the
letters and figures representing the date at which
the instrument is issued. This, will, of course, ren
der the use of a stamp twice impossible. Stamps of
a similar character have been suggested for postage.
The frauds upon the'Treasury, under present
system of revenue stamps; are very great, amount
ing, according to one computation, to $20,000 in
New York city alone. Whether this be an exagge
raled statement or not, it is certain that the sales of
revenue Btamps are daily less, instead of more, as
would be naturally expected. The loss to the Go
vernment through the use of cleansed postage
stamps, several times, is also very large,
Camden and Amboy Railroad.—The
double track from Camden and* Bordentown is to be
completed, and the Dean*s Pond and Jtuneaburg
link, about twelve miles loDg, i» to be built, to coif
neot the New Brunswick with the Amboy route,
and also to carry the Belvidere coal line to Raritan
Bay. ... *
On the completion of the connecting railroad in
this city, care arriving at West Philadelphia from
Pittsburg, will be attached to trains starting thence
for New York, via Trenton and Jersey City i whUet
through freight (except express freights which will
he passed through, with the passeogers to Jersey
City*) will be forwarded via Trenton, Jamesburgand
Amboy,for New York,
It is also intended to run all the trains on the Belvi
dere road through to Kensington and Camden. With
the gap at Belvidere filled up, there will be a close
connection with, the Scranton route, and then, with
jqo intermediatechangeof carsbetween Philadelphia
the junction beyond Belvidere, the Delaware
; yiver route to the Delaware Water Gap, Scranton,
&c., will be a great convenience as a passenger
-.route.

Annual Meeting.—The annual meeting
of the St. John’s Orphan Society was held yester
day afternoon at the asylum building, corner of
Seventh and Spruce streets. The annual report was
highlysatiafactory, showing that the asylum was in
quite aproßperouß condition. The present number
of inmates is 133, all girls. They are well cared for
by the sißtera having charge of the institution,
i* 1
Meeting of Discharged Soldiers.—An
adjourned meeting was held last evening at the
County Court House—James Morrison, President
m the chair.
' Mr. Holmes presented a report of the.committee
that visited r WaßhiDgtonj also, a letter from Isaac
Newton,’iu reply to an addreßß that had been sent
him. ./Thereport is as follows:
The committee most respectfully beg leave to re
port that we proceeded to Washington and presented
our address and resolutions to the President and the
headsof the different Departments, and have full
confidence that they will be responded to. We were
also given to understand that a written communica
tion will, in a short time, be sent-to us, which will
■be satisfactory to us all. ;
We hare also the gratifying intelligence to com
municate that we met in Washington the Hon. Wm.:
D. Keltey, of Philadelphia, who informed us that
he had no doubt our address and resolutions would
meet with, a hearty response from the President
and heads of the departments in favor of the honora
bly-discharged soldiers and sailors out of employ
ment in Philadelphia.
The report was received with applause.
A person present detailed the particulars of a long
interview which he said he had with Mr. Walborn,
the postmaster. As he was not authorized to go to
that gentleman on behalf of. the association, but
went on bis individual responsibility, his statement
though made, was not in order. The discharged soli
diers should act in their oflicial capacity, if they de
sire to meet with success, and not be misled by any
discharged soldier who may chance to interrogate
any of the public officials. A rock might very well
be built, in themost insidious manner, on which the
whole party might split, when they are thiaking
tneir course is laid in deep, smooth water. This we
present as as a gentle hint.
■ A communication was received from the Commit
tee of Discharged Officers in reference to ajointcom
mittee between the two bodies. A committee of five
was appointed.
\ A committee of three was appointed to wait upon
certain merchants who have signified their willing-"
ness to assist the soldiers.
A comnuttee of ten was appointed to prepare a
plan of organization or operations.
It was understood that the association will meet
on every Monday evening 1 until further notice. On
motion, adjourned.
Important Suggestions to those
about Purchasing Sewing Machines.— There
is perhaps no one article in the selection and pur
chase of which mistakes are so often made, by those
who can ill afford to make them, asin a sewing
machine. With the wealthy thiß may be of no great
importance; certalDly not of importance.enough to
warrant advice from us; but with the poor sewing
woman it i 9 quite different. It is now well under
stood that there are two, and only two, valuable
; sewing-machine stitches—the lock stitch and the
: Grover & Baker stitch. Each of these stitches and
the machines making them have their peculiar me
rits, and neither is beßt for ajl kinds of work, or for
use under all circumstances. -Intelligent purchasers,
having both machines before them, with full oppor
tunity to examine And understand the peculiarities
of each, will select the one best suited to their work.
The manufacturers of theße indispensable articles
generally make and sell machines making only one
of the above stitches, and the temptation is always
before them to recommend and urge upon cus
tomers the. stitch made by their machine without
very scrupulous attention to the real wants of the
purchaser.
We are happy to see that one.sewing-machine
• houre at least pursues a liberal, and, as we think,
the true policy in this respect. The Grover & Baker
Company do not con fine themselves to the manufac
ture an d sale of either one.of the above styles of ma
chines, but pride themselves upon making and offers
ing to the public the most perfect machines of both
kinds, and allowing their customers the fullest op
portunity of-becoming thoroughly aud practically,
acquainted, by examination and trial, with the pe
culiar merits and excellencies of each before pur
chasing, and this company at : least are without any
motive to recommend to purchasers machines of one
kind when the other is better adapted to their wants,
and will give better satisfaction. We advise all, be
fore purchasing, to examine for themselveß, and test
machines making both the above stitches. They will
thus select undersUndingly, and will not be likely to
be disappointed. ..
Delegate Elections—Tlie loyal citizens
oif Philadelphia convene this evening, at 8 o'clock,
at such places as have been selected by the officers of
the ward associations, for the purpose of electing one
judge and two inspectors for each precinct, said
judges and inspectors to conduct an election in the
various precincts oh Thursday, Jttay 7fch, between"
six and eight o'clokP. M., for the purpose of elect
ing one delegate from each precinct to a Representa
tive Convention, and one delegate to a Senatorial
Convention, in conformity to the rules for the
government of the National Union party. The
Representative and Senatorial Convention will meet
at such places and times as a majority of their num
ber Bhall by public notice direct.
Audtjction of a Child.—Yesterday
morning a little girl, aged three years, a daughter of
Officer Ferguson, of the Third district police, was
stolen from Independence Square. The child was
not in. very good health, and had been sent to the
square in company with a little’brother, about eight
years of age. While there a woman approached the
couple and asked the boy to go and buy her a news-,
paper. She said that she would take care ot the
child in the meantime. The boy .did as requested,
but when he returned neither his sister nor the
woman could be found. It is not known what the
intentions of the abductreßß were in stealing the
child.
Me oh Ado aroiit Nothing.— On Sua
day evening, about ten o’clock, a man and wife had
some domestic difficulty in a house near Second and
Heed streets. Some females ran into the street,
crying “Murder, fire, help,” Ac. The Shiffler Hose'
Company being in the immediate vicinity, the bells
of that'carriage were sprung; the sound thereof at
tracted attention, and one company after another
spread the alarm, until nearly of the fire
department was thrown into commotion. A hose
carriage rvas run on the sidewalk on Washington
ayenuefrom Sixth to Third street, although that
thoroughfare is over one hundred feet wide, and
level. There was no use at all in running the car
riage on the . sidewalk, thus endangering lives of
women and children, who were sitting on their
door*steps. It was an act that cannot be defended. *
Objects of Charity.— Patrick Maloney,
who died from the effects of bums received during
the conflagration at Murphy & Allison’s car factory,
leaves a wife and several small children. They reside
at No. 28 South Nineteenth Btreet, and are in very
destitute circumstances, the father being the only de
pendence for their support. Their case is one which
demands immediate attention from some of our cha
ritable citizens.
Foundlings.—Two colored babies, male
and female, apparently twins and about tivo weeks
old, were found in Forty-Bixth street, near the Darby
road, on Sunday night. They were sent to the
Almshouse.
Tavern Licenses.— The City Commis
sioneis have not yet made their returns to the City
Treasurer as to the licenses granted recently for ta
verns, hotels, &c. The tav.em licenses amount to
about 1,100.

The annual address in behalf of the Presbyterian
Historical Society will be delivered this evening, by
the Rev. Albert Barnes, at the Tenth Presbyterian
Church, cornerof Twelfth and Walnut streets.

THE POLICE.
THE BERKS COUNTY CONSPIRACY.
A MEMBER OF THE ORDER SWORN.
HE IS AN UNWILLING WITNESS
Tlie Members arc to . Resist ihc Draft by
Force of Arms.
Philip Huber, Harrison Oxenrider, Dr. A. P. Illig,
Gabriel Philbert/ Joseph Moothart, and Henry Sid el,
charged with conspiracy to resist the conscription law.
were arraigned before Mr. Commissioner Heazlett, yes
terday afternoon, on a further hearing.
United States District Attorney Coffey was assisted by
J. S. Richards, Esq., of Berks county.
Hon. Jehu Clancy Jones and John.P. O’Neill, Esq.i
appeared for the defence.
There were about thirty witnesses present. The last
two named defendants were arrested since the first hear
ing. In the following evidence will be seen that of a
member of the secret band of conspirators. He was the
most unwilling witness we ever saw or heard. It
would seem that he was not quite as dumb as his evi
dence makes/him appear. The District Attorney has
gained in this prosecution one point—that an unlawful
secret society has been organized, and the leader is
Philip Huber. We learn there are other members wb6
will make a frank statement of the secret plottings of the
conspirators. The entire workings, and every object of
the . society, bid fair .to be exposed by the firm though
calm application of the law. v
.. The farther investigation will be resumed at noon
to-day. v ♦ .
Alex. Hester, sworn.—l live above seven miles from
Reading; lately moved there; don’t know the name of the
township; Iwas present at a meeting at the farm-house
of Mr. Foust; the meeting broke up at eleven o’clock'; a
: man named Huber made a speech; he is here; he was the
only one w*ho spoke; Huber said every man that joined
should pay a dollar, and if any man wanted to go out
again, bis name could be scratched off the roll; if any
of the members should get in prison, they would raise
money to get him out; the party wbuld settle.it among
themselves that they should not be drafted: I mean the
society by the word party; he said we would not stand,
or stay under the Government; I don’t know how many
were present; the place was full. (Here the witness
named a number of persons who were present at the meet
ing.) After Huber made a speech, some went to thebam
and got clubs to drive all away unless they paid a dollar
to go in; the older members stood outside the barn to pre
vent others from going in; I was not near the barn; I
can’t say what time they. went into the barn, as I have no
watch; I never heard any of them that went into the barn
say what they went in for, nor what they did in there;
Huber was applauded when he made a speech at the farm
house.
The witness was now questioned again as to what
Huber said in regard to the draft. He replied that, if any
one of the club was drafted they would settle it among
themselves. • - * ■'

:it; did be say it should be done by force?
Mr. O’Neill objected, on the ground that it was leid-
Question. Lid he say the draft should be resisted by
force.
Mr. O’Neill objected.

. Answer.- No—they were to hold their meetings like
others.
[Here there was a Hurry among counsel as to the trans

Attorney called for another interpreter. 3 . i
Ques. What did he say about the draft ?
Ans. He said they would not to suffer themselves to
be drafted; if they were compelled to go the common
people would settle it among themselves; there was some
. money paid dowm in the house; those who paid went
into the barn, those who did not pay were not admitted j
lie said he could hot tell all at the meeting but would

but vjauid ha'no Lincoln-; the only thing he said about*
the Government was, that'we would n<t stand under it
becaust enough had been killed already; ; ho did not say
anything about the society being organised in the South;
did not hear him. say how many belonged to the society.
Cross-examined. —I did not hear: Huber say that we
must support .the Union or. the Constitution; I speak
from memory of Huber’s speech; he said all.l have said;
have talked with some. people;-they call me a 4,blue
lout,' and I call them Copperheads;” I have known
Huber four years; did not see any of the defendants
there beside Huber. •• • .
. Re-examined.—Huber said they had similar societies
IP. the booth and among the soldiers. On this point the
district Attorney • whs'. very particular to get exactly the
language made by Huber. After several efforts,, the
t Sw fc '?i?J ,or Baid cliey had societies in the
ij- buc here (North) we cannot be so open, but the
the society Wiirsetfie it, whether Demo

Answer. I was seated a good way off and couid not not
heai all; i wenttnere to learn something, but what Hu

mggers.come trom. then he said that those whodoined
must-opposeitnree bills. First, conscription; second
confiscation, and. third, emancipation. These ace the
Lilia tiity must oppue. What he first, said about the
conscription bill be could not understand, but h e did say
they could not raise provost enough 'to take them, be
cause ihe-company (society, was so.strong; there was
money paid down; each man paid a dollar; Mr. Huber

with the dollar, and Huber replied that he would find

th ? <*cret meetia* to the bare;
Mr. O Neill here allied that the witness be Instructed
n«t to answer any qutsuous that would criminate him*
iSi.
Hotwas so instructed; -
A* n0 M vcry I did not have to repeat
f 5 that l was uot to reveal the
o l n, mc ' ;^UK • * w °bld not obligate myself to.do
D» U .L . ' ere no v ords repeated to me what I
snoulu do; 1 canbot toll the secrets, as 1 did not keep
uiejii m memory; there was something said about tue
nation, hut nothing Aoont the draft; I
aio m that way swear I would uot tell the secrets. Mr.
Uaber wsb the overseer; I don’t know him; never saw
nun before that night, and hare not seen him since; I
never attfcDded auy other uneting. There were some
signs, but I. cannot toll them; I duu’t know any grip;
nedid,npt much in tlio secret meeting, oulv about
the Constitution; I pitid my dollar to go iu; I cannot say
what was said in the secret meeting; very Ittile was
said; wo were in there an. hour; resolutions were
passed. . -
Q. What were they? -
A. Oh. that was about their secret affairs.
Q. Well, does he kn>iw or will he not tell?
A. 1 can’t tay; I forget what they were; I cannot tell
because I took the oath.
Q. i wan’t to know the secret things; can yon tell*!
them? ‘
A. 1 cannot; I forget them.
Q. What sigus were there; what did you do?
-• A Here 'witness held up his right hand, and said lie
cannot tell the rest a-* he had forgotten ; there was no*
thingsaid abouttbe draft,
Mr. O’Neill objected, because the proceeding wa3 like
crot 8-examination.
Commist-ioner Heazlett saidjthat the witness is un
willing; this is his present position,, he has sworn that
be took the oath, and the question now is: whether he
knows and will not tell, or whether he forgets?
The witness was now questioned at considerable
length; the counsel for the United States had their inge
nuity taxed to the greatest extent; and all he could say
was, that he had taken an oath tokeep the secrets and he
would not tell, becausa he wanted to be a man.
Mr. Coffey iusisted bi an answer.
.Mr. O’Neill objected, because the witness would be
subject lo ridicule or contempt, as he wanted to be a
man.' He has taken an oath Dot to tell, and therefore he
refuses ibecause, if ho violated that oath, he would ex
pose himself to ridicule and contempt.
•Mr. Commissioner Heazlett said, how if a man had
taken an illegal oaih? The question may be put to him
in this way, that he has the right to reluse to answer
any question , if it would criminate himself in regard to
the organization,
Q. What are the signs ?
A. They shook hands togetier,
Q. How? . ; ••'•■ '
A. Well, I took the oath not to tell. I will uot crimi
nate myself against the Government if I was to tell.
Q. Then you are bound to tell. The law compels him.
Mr.: Jones, counsel- for de'ence, suggested that he did’
noi comprehend. .
Finally', the witness showed the grip to Mr. Richards
by locking bands with him. One of the sighs was rais
ing the bai three times, or. something' like it. Mr. Hu
ber said that when the men came to draft any of the
members of the society, they were to get their gans and.
load them with t alt; they were to lie behind the fences
and shoot the draiters in the legs.
Mr, O’Neill, desired to know whether it wa3 Epsom
salts. :•
The witness replied no, it was common salt.
. t-ide question by Mr. O’Neill. Now, did you take any
salt when you got home ?
Answer. No, sir, I took some ca9tor oil when I got
home. -Roars of laughter. The case here adjourned
over until 12 o’clock to-day. .

since, with two others, at the frt. Louis Hotel, under
suspicion of being Baltimore thieves, was arraigned at
the Central Station; yesterday afternoon, on the charge
; ol'picking.the pocket of Bridget Cannou at thecornsrof
S' uth'and Fourth streets, of a pocket book containiug a

her if lie was not a doctor. As sho turned her ; headto
look,she felt some one at her pocket.: She turned around,
but only saw the defendant walking away, as though he.

/ . Tlic Boiler Man. .
.Aman giving the name of Lewis Shaffer was taken
before Alderman Beitler yesterday morning on the charge
of ihe larcerv of an iron boiler. lLseema from the evi
dence adduced tbst some time since he called on a Mr.
John Robinson, the keeper of a junk shop in Swanson
street, and desired to sell him a couple of boilers that he
had at the cornerof Sixteenth and Coates streets. Mr.
Robinson and a friena named P. MeClaskey proceeded to
that place but could not find ihe article, :In a few days
after this lie asain called on Mr. Robinson, and said that
i e had an old boiler at tbe corner of Vine and Water
streets, which he was authorized to sell by Mr. Canby,
an engineer, in the. navy yard, by whom he was em
ployed. Mr. R. went to look at the boiler, and in a
■ short time aftei* this he paid Robinson five dollars for it.
He then procured a conveyance and removed the boiler
to his shop on Swanson street. He was arrested on the
charge of larceny, and after the hearing was bound
over to answer the charge of receiving stolen goods.
From that tftne he keptiup a "continuous search for the
seller, and yesterday he succeeded in findinghim. The
prisoner was taken into custody by Officer Bloomfield,
who handed him over to the dett-ctive force The de
fendant was committed in default of $2,000 bail to await
a further hearing. Persons who may have lost boilers
in a myjterious manner are requested-to call at the
Central'Station. . ;
A Broker In Trouble.
A broker in Third street was arraigned before the same
alderman yesterday, on the charge of embezzlement.
The charge was .preferred against him by Mr. C. N.
Natt, who testified that: some time since he gave defen
dantthrcc bonds, of sl,oooeach, of the city of Keokuk,
Illinois, and three bonds of $l,OOO of the Eustes House,
In the same Western State, with instruction to sell them
at the usual rate of discoimt. It is charged that the
broker had disposed of the bonds, and neglected to hand
the money,over. The broker said that he had not yet
sold the bonds, and would produce them. The case
went over for another hearing, to give the defendant
an opportunity to restore the bonds or money.
[Before Mr. Alderman Gibson.]
. Men. Stabbed*
A man, giving the name of Mike McKenna, was com
mitted yesterdays the charge of stabbing two men, one
them severely, so to endanger life. It seems, from all
we can learn, that a party or young men, somewhat in
toxicated, made an attack upon a carriage containing a
gentleman, wife, and child, at or near the Falls of
Schuylkill, on Sunday evening. The gentleman drove
to ihe nearest hotel, where he placed his wife and child,
and then went in pursuit of the party who made the at
tack. It seems that a fight soon became quite general,
during which two men, residing near the Fills, were
stabbed. They are named John Denan and James
Reader. The last one, it was feared, was mortally
wounded. McKenna was arrested on the charge of using
the knife. He was committed, the alderman refusing to
take bail.
1 [Before Mr. Alderman Fields. ]
Descent on Riotous Roys,
Yesterday morning between twenty and thirty boys
were arraigned before Alderman Fields on the charge of
riotous conduct; by throwing ston es at each other, in the
vicinity of Front street andFraukford road,-on Sunday
afternoon, thereby annoying the people and injuring
their property. The young scamps had been in the habit
of behaving veir disorderly on Sunday afternoons. A
posse of police, in citizens’dress, stationed themselves
in the vicinity of the boys, and when the latter were in
the height of pelting each other with stones, the officials
threw their coats open, exhibited the badge of their
authority on their vests, and made a grand dash among
the belligerents. The hoys were hound over to be of
future good behavior.
[Before Mr.-Alderman White.]
Malicious Miscbtief.
A young man answering to the name of Tlios. Cozzehs,
was arraigned before the Alderman on the charge of
malicious mischief. The evidence developed the fact,
that as the defendant and a friend or two- were walking:
along Race street, between Third and Fourth, about half
past 11 o’clock on Saturday night, he said he felt’ like
•smashing a show-lamp ” hangingin front of the public
house of Mr. P. Daily. Suiting the action to the word,
he picked up a stone, threw it, and the next moment the
lamp was broken to atoms. Mr. Daily came out and re
monstrated wiih. the mischief-maker, whereupon the
latter struck him a severe blow on the nose : The ac
cused was required to enter $5OO to answer for the assault
and battery, and $4OO for. malicious mischief, in break
ing the lamp. , • , ■
