THIRD ANNIVERSARY
The Aoademy of Music Thronged.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM:
.The third anniversary of the United States Chris
liar! Commistion, aoebrding to announcement, wag
celebrated last evening at the Academy of Kush,.
That an organization having the influence and
means for good possessed by the Christian Commis
sion should have attracted such numbers to its
anniversary as were present at the Academy of
music last evening Is not to be wond . ved at;
but that ouch unanimity of feeling In a
wish for the continued success of the Commis
sion should prevail, was gratifying to those who
have need their efforts in making the Commission
what It has proved itself to be—a work for the good
Of the soldier, physically' and spiritually; without
personal alms to gratify, or personal „ambitions to
serve. The anniversary showed that all the efforts
Made Orilla organization were appreciated by a
people, many of whom have had the good influence
of this Commission brought within their own howls.

The Academy was beautifully decorated with
flags. The entire fronts of the family circle and
balcony were oovored with flags, beautifully fee.
tooned. The private boxes were gaily decorated
With U. S. flags and with flags of the Christian Com
mission. These are blue, with the words "U. S.
Christian Commission," in white letters, upon
them. The stage was set with a drawing-room
Scene, and the front part of the stage was brilliant
with the American colors. At half-past seven o!olook
the..exeroises began by the whole audience joining
in singing the hymn.
"All bail the uow-r of Jen!' name."
After the singing of the hymn Mr. George H
Stuart, president of the Commission, announced

by loud and long-continued cheering and applause.
After the excitement had subsided prayer was
offered by Rev. C. P. Krauth, D. D. In the prayer

An address was then delivered by Rev. Alexander

brought to a knowledge of Christ through the

had an opportunity he would have given it to the
Christian Commission. A number_. of other
touching incidents were related of soldiers giving
their money and their wishes in their dying hours
to the Christian Commission. What had the rebels

can't stand your Christian Commission. One poor

"Won't we be a Happy People when the War Is
Over." - G
Rev. B. W. Chitilaw, of Wales, Ohio, then ad
dressed the audience. He paid a high tribute to
America, and blessed God that he had been per
mitted to tome to this country. and to be called to
be chaplain of the 30th Ohio Regiment. He found
when he got into the army that there was a pressing
want; that want was the want of an institution like

was doing.
General G. B. Fisk, of St. Louis, Missouri, fol
lowed. No report, no epeeoh, no array of figures
could Show the good that had been done by the
Christian Commission. The soldiers en the field
knew the good that It had done ?but not until God
should come to make up his jewels would all the
geed done by this Commission be known. - The
Commission here tanight having served out the
first term of its enlistment for three years, seine here
to night, in the Academy of Music, to resenlist vete
rans for the war.
Ac he bad been used to singing in the camp, he
requested the audience to make the meeting into a
camp and join with 'him AM single'' the good old
hymn, "Come,thou fount of every blessing." The
-- audience rose to their fee leading.
and, with a will, sang
the hymn, General Fisk At its cone
elution he said: How often had he heard that
sung by many a soldier who would never sing
It again - this side of the walls of the Eternal
Jerusalem! He had been reduced from being
a superintendent of a Sabbath school to being
a general in the army. When letters were re.
on c e erasion
the army they were very much prized : on
one occasion a Boloier came to him after the letters
bad been delivered and as the soldier did not re-
Cogise him, being in undress uniform, the soldier
asked blast° read a letter that Ms had received.
Why, said he (General Fisk), can't you read, Jonn 1
The man replied that lie could not I thought, said
General Fisk, that maybe you had got into the
wrong army ; all those men who can't read are is
Jeff Davis , army. Bat when he told me that he
had been born in Tennessee, that aoeounted for it.
The letter was directed to John Sheerer and the-di
reetiorus began at the upper corner, and ran in a
very crooked line down to the lower corner. I read
the letter. It began, "My dear John." Moat
letters for the army began that way often. It was
froth his wife, and after talking about having got a
pair of boots for Johnnie and a dress for Susie,and
the ounningest little pair of shoes for baby that
ever was seen, it said that thtelder of their chorea;
had been to see her, and he told her that-the "Army
was a very bad place ; that men learned to swear,
drink, and lie, and everything that was bad. She
finished by reminding him of hie promise to her that
he would not commit any of these bad deede
... Af
ter I had done reading he wiped a tear from ills eye
with his coat sleeve, and said •• bully for her."
I asked him if he had kept his promise to his wife.
Ile said be bad not, that he had been a very bad
roar. I talked with him afterward s and he promised
to do right in the future. I saw Jolin
bheerer on his dying bed, and sang with him, and
prayed with him, and the soul of John Sheerer
passed upward to its Maker. I acted for the
Christian Commission. This is the kind of work
that they do. An appeal for continued 'efforts was
then made by the speaker, and a glorious
future promised to the country. The day
was dawning. The constitutional amendment
hail passed, and our country is free. It will
be riellehOod in the old world. And he read
the jubilee of liberty and hope. The Union will be
re-established. The old love is to come back again,

Is takig hie seat, Gen. Fisk introduced Mr. A.D.
iohardsors, oorrespondent of the N. Y. Tribune,
who recently escaped from a rebel prison. Mr.
Illeterdeon then made a short etatement of his
privations and sufferings in the prison at Salisbury.
He thought he knew something in his capatilty as

months in the Libby prison representatives of the
Christian Commission cheering the hearts of the
prisoners by singing "The Star Spangled Ban
ner," "There's Rest for the Weary," and "We
are Coming, Father Abraham, 800,000 More."
He found, after being in the Salisbury hospitals,
that he knew very little of the work of the Christian
Commission. All that they could do to alleviate
suffering there was done, and he bore to the Chris.
Han people of the North the cry of the men confined
there, "Come over and help us" and he asked
that tke influence of the Commission be exercised
in having the suffering of these men relieved by
some system of exohange. He concluded his re
marks by giving a description of hie escape from
rebeldom, and his arrival underthe safety of the
old flag. The audience then sang the hymn,
•• From all that dwell below the Wes. •
Rev. Dr. Newton, of this city, made a few re.
marks, in which he urged the necessity of a large
contribution from the audience. The coffers of the
Commission were entirely empty, and there was
a nem:teeny for an immediate replenishment.
The collection was.then taken up, and a largo sum
was realized. Two persons contributed s2,s*iisch
two contributed $l,OOO each, and one subscribed $6OO.
Addressee were also made by Joseph Story, of
Beaton, and Rev. Edward . Hawes.
The proceedings were closed with singing a hymn
by Chaplain McCabe, of Illinois, and the delivery
of the benediction.

VOTING IN TIIE CARS.
The voting in the ears yesterday, from the gene
ral replies of conductors, must have been even
lighter than on the day previous. It was very evi
dent that many considered the whole affair a farce
Without any moral plot. A conductor on one of the
ears yesterday said that on his line, on Monday,
there were over three thousand votes against the
"Wiesen ;" and about one-seventh of this number
in favor or the descendants of Ham. Last evening
a woman in one of the cars obtained five or six tick
ets from a conductor, and put them In her muff;
Three young ladies, in a oar on the Union line, hav
ing each received a ticket from the conductor, in
dignantly threw them under foot, upon discovering
what they were. Ladles and gentlemen refused to
receive tickets. Common people, whose early edu-:
cation in morality and politeness had been sadly
neglected, were anxious to east a vote. Some of
the conversation relative to the subject yesterday,
that came under our hearing, was not only amu-
sing, but In some instances philosophic
"This subject," said one gentleman, "is like the
handle of a jug, all on one side—only one class of
persons seem to vote.,'
"It puts me in mind, said another, "of the jack
ass in the barn yard among the goslings ; 'every one
for himself, and the Lord for us all,' as the hun
gry jackass said while trampling among the tender
goslings."
"I don't think it right," observed another, "to
decide this - question by a simple majority. The co
lored population is only about one fiftieth of the
WIN 1e number, and one vote from a darkie , ought to'
be as good as tlfty white votes in such a case as this.",
A daughter of the Emerald Isle oouldn't stand'
this remark ; so she took the subject up, in a style
of expletives more vulgar than appropriate, and:
her rage became decidedly amusing.
A man used' profane language, and was admen- .
!shed by the conductor. The passenger reiterated
the same, much to the disgust of the passengers
generally. The man was finally ejected, and the
passengers voted "served him right."
The farce is ended. It was illegal in conception,
illegal In progression, and Illegal in its result, what
-Svar it may be.

AN INTERESTING EXHIBITION.
Yesterday afternoon the pupils of the Educational
' Convent of the Holy Child Jesus at Sharon, near
Darby, gave an entertaining exhibition at the insti
tution, In the presence' of a large company of. the
friends of the convent. The exercises consisted of a
dramatic performance, tableaux, music, &o. The
drama selected was the favorite one of "Cedilla the
Virgin Martyr," and the excellent taste and jar
"nett with which It was performed reflected not a
little to the craft pf the school, displaying as It did
careful training and good scholarship on the part of
those who participated. This school is established
specially for female education, and is under the
charge of an order of Sisters whose fame extends
far and wide, especially for thesuecess with which
they conduct seminaries of learning. Although not
in existence quite a year, the convent has received a
large number of pupils from this and neighboring
cities. The course of training is snob as to draw
large numbers of pupils from our first families, who
receive a thorough education, irrespective of de •
nominational tendencies. Rt. Rev. Bishop Wood,
Very Rev. 0. J. Carter, and other Catholic clergy
men were present at the exercises.
BASE BAIL ON SKATES.
Yesterday, at Campbell's Park, Fourth and Dia
mond streets, the noted Athletic Club was hand
somely beaten by the Camden Club. Only 4ve in
nings were played,Abe Boots, standing at the close—
Camden 25. Athletic 15. Four of the Athletics nine
were decidedly awkward on skates, while all the
Camden boys displayed a great deal of grace and
skill ; but the Camden Club Mewl , e did some strong
batting. Mr. Campbell, the enterprising proprie
tor of the Park, presented each olub with a hand
some silk flag. Over three thousand spectators
(many of them ladles) witnessed the game, which
was very exciting throughout. In the imam of ten
days these clubs will again meet at Campbell's
Park, to contend for a sliver ball, which Is liberally
offered by the proprietor as a prize to the club
making the beet play. The Athletics, in the mean
time, will probably take some lessons in skating.
MERCHANTS' FUND.
This noble institution we observe, Intend celebra
ting their eleventh anniversary, at the Anatomy of
Music, to-morrow evening, and,-Indging from the
distinguished reputation'of the eloquent gentlemen
who are to address the meeting, and the high
character of the society we expect to witness a
large and intelligent audience to enjoy the Interest
ing exercises on this occasion. Among the many
popular charitable Institutions of our city we know
of none more deserving of the warmest sympathy
and most liberal encouragement than the Mer
chants' Fund. It performalts duty of relieving the
aged and indigent merchants In the most quiet and
unostentatious manner. All its benefits are dis
pensed in the strictest confidenoe, withholding every
circumstance that might lead to the exposure of the
name of the recipient. No trampetings announce
its benefits ; they fall silently as the dew from
heaven and it may well be said of the operations of
this society, that the "left hand knows not what the
right hand doeth."
We understand that the annual inoome, at pre
sent, is Inadequate to meet the legitimate demands
made upon It without encroaching upon the Small
invested fund of the association. This should not
be, and we apprehend, if proper efforts were pat
forth, that a suffioient sum could be readily raised
to relieve It from all embarrassment of this nature.
We hope, therefore, that our liberal and energetic
merchants will not only fill the house tomorrow
evening, but fill the treasury able.
11. S. CIIRISTIAN COMMISSION AND OUR PRI
SONERS IN THE SOUTH.
At a late Meeting of the exeontive committee of
the United States Christian Commiesion, a delega
tion was appointed to visit our prisoners in the South.
Bishops Janes, of New York, Lee. of Delawate
Mollvaine, of Ohio; the Bev. Dr. William Adams
and *Norman White, Esq., of New York ; George
H. Stuart, Esq., and Horatio Gates Jones, Esq., of
Philadelphia, were named for the purpose, and their
appointment was ratified by the Secretary of War
and Lieut. General Grant. Bishops Janes and Lee
and H. G. Jones,Esq., started on their errand of
mercy two weeks a g o, and were forwarded by General
Grant to the front. For two days they remained
near ' , Tartu*, under Col. Mulford's fiag-or-truee. and
visited the Army of the James, while their doom•
silents were being forwarded to itiohutond. The
offer made by General Grant was to allow the South
to send the same number of gentlemen to visit the
military prisons of the North, but the proposition
was declined on the ground that it was considered
inexpedient. It is to be regretted that the delega
tion failed in their effort, for their presence would
have cheered the hearts of our brave men, and per
haps have resulted in nmelidating their condition.
The report of the delegationrincluding the letters of
General Grant, Col. Mulford, and the delegation it
self, will soon be published in full.

THE POLICE.
MISTAXEN IDENTITY.
A CaSe of mistaken identity was made known a
day or two since, whioh furnishes more proof that a
person may be deceived by hie or her own eyes."
The parties concerned are three in number, one of
whom is an open hearted and humane boarding
house keeper, the other a promising student In one
of the leading colleges of the land, but the third
party, the hero of the incident, is unknown by name
or occupation. It seems that the latter, according
to Ms narrative,. had come to the city for the pur
pose of visiting the great National Circus, but
meeting with SMUG friends, he accepted-their hospi
tality to such an extent that he forgot his armlet
p4ed amusement for the evening. Returning to
his home in the suburban part of the city in a late
horse-ear, he encountered a fellow-passenger who
appeared very anxious to keep him quiet, and assist
in getting him home without attracting attention.
He also rebuked him severely for allowing himself
to get in suet a state, all of which the young man
accepted with great indifference.
This nhilfinthroplo individual was the boarding
.bonse keeper previously spoken of, and the young
Man he was so anxiouslxi render assistance In the
time of need he believed to be the promising stu
dent before alluded to, who was a boarder in his
family, but had been on a visit home, and was now
apparently returning. The ride in the oars had
the effect to quiet the young man, and by the time
be had reached his destination be was enjoying a
slumber from which the boarding-house keeper
found it impossible to awaken him. With the as
sistande of a - neighbor, however, who -happened to
be &passenger In the same oar, he succeeded in get
ting the youn,g,mau to has home and putting him to
bed. The particular' point - df the story was dis
covered in the presence of a total stranger in the
room the next morning, who; however,stronglyre
sembled the student in every respect. The astonish
meet of both parties was, of course, very great, add,
the boarding-house keeper at once resolved that it'
would be his last act 01 humanity under such cir
cumstances. The real - student, who is very abste
minus in his habits, returned in a few days from his
paternal home, and was In his usual condition of so
briety.
ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT.
G. Milton Allen, arrested some time since on the
charge of stealing a large amount of money from
the Custom House, In whioh Institution he was
cashier, was to have had a hearing about ten days
dace on the charge of embezzlement.' The hearing
was then postponed, and was to have taken place
yesterday morning, but at the urgent solicitation of
his counsel It was again postponed until noon of

amined at the Custom Holies, and a discrepancy of
a sum of money amounting to something over nine
teen thousand dollars has been discovered. He is

oer tained. Thlazharge is In' addition to the alleged
