Philadelphians Ktlledand Wounded
in the Late Battles. —Amiing those who fell in
the recent battles were a number of .gallant Phila
delphians, some of whom were widely known, and
leave a host of friends and relatives to mourn their
loss. Among tfienumberis Major Josephs. Chand
ler, whose death is announced as having occurred in
the battle near Fredericksburg. He was killed on
Sunday, in' the hottest of the light. The deceased
was a young man of 29 years, of excellent character,
gallantry, and valor. He is the Bon of the Hon, Jos.
Chandler, from whom he early learned his hearty
+ devotion to .country. He enlisted at the breaking
s. out of;the war as an orderly sergeant of Co. F, 17th
Resen ? ea,P. V., Colonel Frank PattersSn, (three"
months volunteers), and afterwards entered Colonel
Bohlen’a regiment as captain. He served afterwards
on General Bohlen’s staff, and was with that officer
at the time of his (Bohlen’s) death. On the forma*
tion of Colonel Oollia’ Zouaves he was transferred
to that regiment, and acted with it as major. In
every capacity he has filled since the breaking out of
the rebellion, as officer or private, he has evinced a
daring and devotion which everywhere secured for
him respect and admiration.
The remains of Colonel Stainrook, of the 100th
Pennsylvania Volunteers. who was also killed on
Sunday morning at the battle of Chancellorville,
have arrived in this city in charge of Quartermaster
Sergeant C. J. Dixon. Colonel H. ,T. Stainrook
■was a native of Chester county, but for a number of
years he resided in this city, where he followed the
trade of a painter. Before the breaking out of the
war he was active among the volunteer military,
and he commanded a rifle company. He went out
during the three months 5 campaign as captain of
Co. U, in the 22d Regiment, Colonel Morehead. On
.his return home he recruited the 109th Regiment, at
the head of which he fell on Sunday, white fighting
gallantly in the cause of the Union. The deceased
was wounded during Banks’ campaign in Virginia.
Colonel Stainrook was a brave officer and a worthy
citizen. . His widow resides in this city.
Lieut. Oscar Roberts, a gallant* young Philadel
phian, was in the sanguinary battle near Chancellor
ville on Sunday. He wrb wounded in the aide by a
piece of shell, and was conveyed to the hospital of the
Ist Division at Fredericksburg. A note from the
quartermaster of his regiment (the 95th Pennsylva
nia), to'the friends of Lieutenant Roberts in this
—"—i ulateaithe_facts,and adds that the writer
Lieutenant Roberts was~Bttoo,Tmttugir\w^fehll&Vd
thigh during the seven-days’ battle'Peftrcc-iUon—
roond, and he hastened to rejoin his regiment while
his wounds were still painful.
Colonel J. Howard Willets, of the 12th New Jer
sey Volunteers,has also arrived in this city, having
received a severe wound in the left arm, one of the
bones having been badly shattered by a ball. Colonel
"Willets reports his loss as heavy, but the boys stood
up bravely to the work before them. Both men and
officers have the greatest confidence in General
Hooker, and no fears are entertained for the result.
Captain Stratton, commanding Company F of the
i2thNew Jersey, was shot in the knee, and, at the
time Colonel Willets left, it was feared the injured
limb would have to be amputated.
Tee Agricultural Society.—Yester
day morning the Philadelphia Society for the Pro
motion of Agriculture held their regular monthly
meeting in their rooms, at No. 326 Walnut street.
Mr. Craig Biddle in the chair. The secretary, Dr.
Kennedy, announced that, among donations recent
ly.-received, the most prominent were some pack
ages of seeds of Japan upland rice, presented by the
Agricultural Department of the United States.
Messrs. Theodore Mitchell, Allen Cuthbert, and
Rev. A. O. Thomas were then unanimously elected
members of the society. The executive committee
reported that the spring exhibition and sale of fine
blooded stock, to be given under the direction of the
association, would be held upon the 20th inßt., atthe
Bazaar, corner of Ninth and Sansom streets,.
, Mr.Hanison, from the special committee appoint
ed at the last meetiifgto call the attention of the
Governor and Legislature to an act of Congress,
making an appropriation to the State for agricultu
ral purposes, with a view to secure the equitable
distribution intended in the act, reported that they
had visited the Governor, who informed them that
the Legislature had already taken action upon the
subject.
Dr. Kennedy Informed the society of the existence
of a strong desire on the part of many farmers in
the northern part of New Jersey to cultivate flax,
and that in consequence of that desire, the atten
tion of this society should be called to the matter, to
encourage the cultivation. *
Dr. Emerson stated that a firm engaged in this
city in the linseed oil business were in the habit of
selling the flaxseed, and afterwards purchasing back
again the Bted of the crop at $l.BO per bushel, re
turning, also, in addition to this, the prices origi
nally paid : for the seed. Such contracts tended
to encourage the cultivation of flax.
Mr, Harry Ingersoll called the attention of the So
ciety to the cultivation of Hungarian grass. He said
that a gentleman in'Danby, Illinois, had six -acres
of corn destroyed by gophers. It being too late to
replant, he sowed the ground in .Hungarian seed,
June nth; cut the same in September, and all who
saw it estimated it at four tons to the acre. He com
menced on the 6th of December to feed a flock of
eighty lambs Hungarian hay once a day, and oat
straw, well threshed with a machine, once a day.
This had been their entire feed for ten days, when
they had lowland prairie hay instead of straw. They
have had no grain, and are all alive and in good con
dition. It is thought they will shear at the usual
time from five to six pounds per head of washed wool.
A short discussion ensued, touching the advan
tages and disadvantages of growing the hay.
. Dr. Emerson presented a specimen of sugar made
from Imphee or African cane, grown in Adams
county, Illinois. .The sugar was made in Quincy by
J* H. Smith, who/in this season, has manufactured
some six tons, and can sell It at five cents per pound.
Theie has been extracted in Quincy, during the
year, 9,000 barrels of syrup, of which 3,000 barrelß
have been shipped to the border slave States.
The society soon-after adjourned,

The Shad Fisheries.—'The aliadfisheries
along the Delaware are now in full blast, and ereUt
numbers are being caught at nearly all the fisheries
Shad are therefore quite plenty, and are Belling at
reasonable prices. At the New Hope fishery as
many as five hundred were caught in a single day
The fishing ground at that point is just above the
bridge, and the sweep of the net is made nearly half
way across the river. There is a fishery on the other
side, just opposite, so that the unlucky shad are
very apt to run into one or the other of these snares.
Five or six men are required to cast and haul the
net, and attend the duties of the fishery.' One end
of the net is carried out into the river and brought
into the shore by a boat, from the stern of which the
net is paid out into the "water. The net is imme
diately drawn in, both ends being gathered at once,
and with much care as the circle is narrowed to the
shore. The shad make a great splashing as they are
hauled into the shallow water and out upon the
bank. They are not kept on hand a great while, as ,
hucksters are generally in waiting to carry them off
as soon as caught. They sell at the fishery for *&out s
twenty-five dollars a hundred for the
fish, and five to‘tern'dollars for .'.the'SUtI** 1 ** ones/- A-. i
great many Bmall shad are caught aK; ® “Je water,;

Fourth: Bay's Proceedings of the
Annual Conference of the A. M* E. Zion
Church.— Conference met yesterday morning at 10
o’clock, and prayer-meeting waß heUV until ten
o’clock, at which time the presiding officer (Supt.
Clinton,) read a portion of Scripture, after which
the roll was called, and the minutes of the previous
session read and approved. The amount of super
intendents’ money collected and paid, in this confe
rence district, was reported at $143.17. The mis
sionary meeting on Tuesday afternoon ■ was of an
interesting characte'r $5.43 was collected for its be
nefit. Sabbath-school reports were presented at
yesterday morning’s session, and represented the in
stitutions generally, to be in a flourishing condition.
Beacon W. Q-. Strong, ofthe New York Conference,
was introduced to the Conference, and granted the
privileges of its members. Moses Wilcox was ad
mitted into full connection. Letters were read from
various points touching the condition of , the
churches, and their desires. Those from the socie
ties in San Francisco, California, (of which Rev. J.
J. Moore is elder,) are of an interesting character.
Lewis Nelson, was recommended by the Quarterly
Conference of wesley Church, Lombard street, Phi
ladelphia, to join the Annual Conference. His re
commendation was received and examined accord
ing to rule, by Superintendent Clinton, and by vote
was admitted on trial. Henry A. Thomas, with a
recommendation from the Quarterly Conference of
the A. M. E. Zion Church, in Timbuctoo, N. J., was
presented, examined, and on motion admitted on
trial. Revs. Schureman, Stanford, and Cornish,
of the A. M. E. Church, were introduced and seated
within the bar. Adjourned.
A Sharper Foiled.— A few days since a
farmer of Buckingham, who was in this city with a
load of oatß, corn, butter, &c., was met by,an indivi
dual of pleasant address, who inquired what he had
to dispose of, and being informed, replied that he
would take the whole load, if delivered at a certain
store and stable. To this the farmer assented, and,
after driving some distance,-he sto'pped at a livery
stable, and sold a part of the grain; when they.
Btarted the stranger demanded five per cent, for his
trouble, but the farmer told him he would make that
all right when they got through. They called at an
other stable and sold the corn. Here the stranger
claimed and received the money. They then went to
a store and sold the butter, when the stranger again
claimed the pay, but the farmer demurred, and took
it himself. After they left this store he again claimed
commission for selling, but the farmer put him off till
they got through. When theload was disposed of, the
farmer started for the hotel, and the stranger with
him. He suggested tothefarmer thatthenotehehad
received for the oats was not good, and wanted to ex
change it for a “greenback,” but the farmer said he
was willing to run the risk. After riding some-dis
tance the farmer stopped, and the sharper left, satis
fied that the farmer was too smart tor him. As the
farmer was an old man, the villain doubtlessly
thought he could either cheat him out of his load,
or intended to rob him—in neither of whioh he suc
ceeded. This is an old trick among swindlers, and
farmers should be on the look-out.
final" de
cree of distribution in the case of the prize steamer
Lodona, captured by the United States gunboat
Unadilla, was made by the courts in this city, some
time last month, and the amount to be distributed
among the officers, seamen, &c., is $115,915.74, the
enlisted men getting the following liberal shares r
Yeoman, $880.12; master-atarms, boatswain’s
mates, gunners’ mates, carpenters* mates, and sur
geon’s steward, $916.79 each cox-
Bwains, captains of the forecastle, and ship’s cook,
$860.12 eacn ; captain of the after guard, captain of
the hold, sailmaker’s mate, quarter gunner, officers'
steward, and officers' cooks, $733 44 each ; flrst-olass
firemen, $1,10016 each; second-class firemen, $916.69
each; seamen, $660.09 each; ordinary seamen, $513.40
: each; landsmen, $440.08 each ; coal heavers, $660.09
each ; refugee pilot, $1,100.16; contrabands, $293.39
each. This is only one case. Large amounts of prize
money aTe being distributed, and one would suppose
that this inducement alone would be sufficient to fill
the navy with seamen. Those now in the service are
reaping a rich harvest.
Mat Anniversaries. Commencing
about the first and second , of May and
for the period of a week or ten days, most ofthe
moral, religious, and philanthropic organizations
that radiate their influences from this city as a focal
point, will commemorate, as usual, their anniversa
ries. Such of these enterprises as are of a purely
benevolent character have found that the war aug
ments and constantly enhances the demands made
upon their resources; butit iB, nevertheless gratify
ing to know that, in the hot excitement ofthe times
our people have not been unmindful of the calls of
charity, and have bestowed lavishly upon the needy,
of that material prosperity with which they have
been providentially blessed. At these meetings each
society presents tie result of its last year’s opera
tions, and maps out its pIaDS for the future, while
eloquent speakers urge the claims of theL several or
ganizations upon the regard and sympathy of the
public. These interesting meetings are held nightly,
and are marked with great spirit and harmony of
action.
Hospital Cases. —An Italian, unable to
give bis name, was admitted into the Pennsylvania
Hospital, yesterday morning, suffering from Bevere
wounds, self-inflicted in his breast with a dirk-knife..
It is said that not understanding the English lan
guage, and being unable to obtain employment, he
attempted suicide, at a house on Front Btreet, below
Spruce street. One of the wounds is considered
dangerous, the blade of the weapon being nearly
five inches long.
The woman Ann W. Turney, who was shockingly
maltreated by a man on League Inland, as already
mentioned in The Press, was doing very well at the
hospital last evening. She had been very badly
beaten.
Out-door Belief.— An act of Assembly,
passed in 1840, relative to the organization of the
Board of Guardians of the Poor, explicitly declares
in what manner out-door relief shall be granted by
the visitors, only on condition that the consent of a
majority of the Board of Guardians be first obtained,
and the ayes and noeß taken thereon, and entered on
their, minutes; and it is provided that no relief shall
be granted to any individual or family for a longer
period than six months. The practice has long
Bince been discontinued, though the Uaw is still in
force. The out-door visitors distribute relief and
make monthly reports afterwards to the Board of
Guardians.
Robbing the Soldiers.—We bear daily
instances in which the friends and relatives of de
ceased soldiers are robbed by foreign agents, em
ployed to collect back pay, bounties, and pensions.
These rascalß are flooding the country with circulars
and letters, setting forth the advantages they pos
sess for securing such claims. All they can do, at
best, is to present the claims to the proper depart
ment, and they have no superior facilities for get
ting them allowed and passed. The work of prepa
ring the claims and taking the testimony must be
>Death of an Unknown Man.—3T an
early hour yesterday morning, an unknown white
man was found in an insensible condition upon a
lot at Thirteenth and Carpenter streets. He was
conveyed to the First*district station-house, where
he died m a short time afterward. It is said, that
when discovered on the lot, a police officer asked a
storekeeper in the neighborhood to lend him a

ground that it would interfere with his business,

Tile Speculation In Steam Boilers*
The Central Stationwaspietfcy wellcrowded yesterday
afternoon on the occasion of a final hearing of a man
giving the name of John Steffer, known now, by way of
istinction, as the “ boiler man.” His financial trans
actions in the boiler business, as. developed at the hear

would seemjthe defendant, who possesses rather a pleas
ing address, made a tour of the city in search of boilers
that might be put up for sale. He found, two at Sixteenth
and .Coates streets and one on Water street below Vine.
These he sold to different parties after getting them to
examine the boilers.’. The price was very low. For se
veral months he carried on this , business, and in some
instances bold the same boiler oyer and over again, and

A Hired Girl Kobbi-d.
Aboy, uarmd William Warner, was arraigned before
ffbertryesterday on tlu charge of stealiug
the sum of $l2 from the tiuuk of Catherine Graham, a
domei-tic m the family of Mr. Firth, number 135 Arch
street, it seems that sne put her wages into the trank
for safe keeping, and a few days s nee missed four doi
lars and a halt from it. She mentioned the circumstance
to th* family, and suggested that she had not been paid
her wages in fulJ. This caused somo conversation, and
she was told to go and count her money over again. On
opening her trunk she could not find any. The defen
dant was suspected with having purloined the inonev,
but he stoutly deniodit. Two or thxeo parsons residiug
on the. opposite side of the way, gave information
that they saw ihe accused a few days since in. the room,
occupi-o by Catherine, and observed, him searching her
trunk. Thesefacts, underoaib, were elicited before the
alderman. The young prisoner finally admitted that he
was at the trunk, but only took two ten-cent notes. He
was committed in default of $5OO to answer at court.
An Unfortunate Soldier.
last evening a returned wounded soldier marched to
the Sixth-ward station house under escort, the proces
sion beiugformed thus:
Policeman—Soldier—Policeman.
The poor fellow was unfortunate, not criminal. He
had taken it into his head to fight what is worse than
any five sing l e rebels —bad whisky. He met the enemy,
and he was theirs. He did not like the escort—changed
his base many-times—tried earthworks, and shouted as
if in command of the whole army of the Potomac. We
are sorry for liis mittake in attacking what he regarded
a genuine Bourbon, and hope the committing magistrate
will let him off with an admonition not to enter again
into such an unequal fight.

READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:
The difference between fact and fiction, of pertnanently -
curing the sick and suffering of their diseased or adver
tising to cure, and showing but little or no evidence of
cures, can be well appreciated by the anxious inquirers
after health, upon attentively reading the following
synopsis of certificates from the most reliable
gentlemen in Philadelphia, who were permanently
cured by Prof. Boiles, 1220 WALNUT Street, and after
they had been given up as incurable by the most emi
nent medical men of this city:
ANOIHiR REMARKABLE CURE.
- Philadelphia, March 3tst, 1863.
Forthe past three or four years my health has been
gradually running down, and I for Borne time could not
understand the cause of it . At first I was not much
alarmed, but,, as time wore on, .my sufferings kept
getting worse. I began to lose flesh, my natural color
lefr me, and m» appetite became very irregular. I ap-.
plied to several physicians, but they did not seem to
understand my disease, for I kept growing worse. I
waß troubled with palpitation of the heart, difficulty of
breathing, oftentimes trembling of the limbs, soreness
in my throat, loss of memory, and great aversion to
business and to society. At times I was very gloomy,
ana what caused me to feel worse was my.inability to
collect my thoughts vigorously on any subject; suffered
much from swimming m the head, and much from fears
of getting insane, for my physicians had told mo that I
had symptoms of fits; but, after persevering for a long
time in the old school remedies, and in tbe homoeopathic
also, I was iniormed~my case was beyond cure.
• Seeing the advertisement of Prois. Boues & Galloway
in-The Press and Bulletin, I called on them at 1220 Wal
nut street, and, after conversing with them a few mi
nutes, they told me that they could cure me, and that
Without throwing poisonous drugs into my system. This
to me was rather astonishing; still I believed it, for I
had known some persons they had cured, who had been
worse than even I was. I commenced their treatment,
Which is perfectly pleasant, and I am happy to say that,
in nine treatments of aboutteuminutes each, I was per
fect Ly cured. This is astonishing to me, for l had given
U P a H hopes of being cured and of having my mind re
stored. . in answer to my convictions of duty to my suf
fering fellow-men, I have made this statement oi facts
in relation to my own wonderful cure; and I know it is
permanent, for sufficient time has elapsed for a return;
therefore I feel certain. I shall take pleasure in being
referred to by any person or persons who may he suffer
lngaslwas. , - CHARLES E. BUCKINGHAM,

TRUTH IS MIGHTY AND WILL PREVAIL
Prof. Bolles— Lear Sir:- As you have frequently re
quested me io give you my opinion of the therapeutic
effects qf-Electricity, when applied according to your dis
covery of Its physiological relations to the human sys
tem, in producing and curing disease; and this being
the first favorable opportunity, I will glye you a brief
statement of iny success since I closed my instructions
with you, and also my faith in it as' a remedial agent,
for the cure of all curable diseases. At every step as I
have proceeded in the practice, my astonishment- has
been increased when witnessing its power in oontrolling
and curing , all forms of disease. I can hardly say to
what class -of disea-es Electricity is best adapted—but
think it adapted to all—but its power over Paralysis,
Consumption, Rheumatism, Acute or Chronic Neuralgia,
Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma, Amauro.-is, Erysipelas,
St. Vitus’ Dance, all Female Diseases, and all derange
ments of the nervous system. The above disease.? having
been treated by me since I took instruction from you, as
also many others; therefore I speak positively of its
power to control without any medicine being given ac
cording to Allopathy or Homeopathy—cures ten to one of
all that other systems claim to cure.
