BEOOKLTK, HTLIXrA iND SECOND HE3EI, INVASION. The alacrity with which the Diilitia of this State responded to.the call to dofend the capi" and State of Pennsylvania from the invasion tho enemy in July last, has been honorably recognized by all save those who wero most immediately concerned. From the authorities Pennsylvania not one word of thanks has Accidents on City Railroad Cais. An inquest was recently held on tho body of a boy who came to his death from injuries re. ceived by being run over by a railroad ear.

The fatal occurrence was clearly enough tho result of (he boy's carlcssness; ho jnmpocl off the front platform while tho car was in motion, and wus thrown under thte wheel. Such ac ci ants have been of such frequent occurrence the question has been raised whether protection should he provided. Passon have no business to get on and off the platform, or while a car is in motion. they will do so, and their want of thought care for their own personal safety does not excuse the public authorities from the responsibility for protecting them from the dangers their own rashness. There is but one way prevent peoplo from getting on and off the platform of a car, and that is by enclosing it This subject was recently brought the attention of the Common Council, and following amendment to the city ordinance passed by that body, and became operative a law on the 30th of April last: Base Ball.

A Prize Geme fob the Jtjniobs. We have before us a communication from a member of tho Hatano Sunior Club, suggesting the arrangement of a Union gome for the Junior clubs. Such a gamo would bo attractive and benenclal to the weharo of tho junior clubs, and if ten clubs will send in a request to effect signed by their Presidenta and Hocretaries, a rate gome can he arranged, or course it would bo fly game with ten on a aide, and it would be bettor to twenty clubs represented on the occa.iion; but it bo requisite that ten clubs at least nave members the contesting sides. Buch a match played on either Union or Capitoline grounds would draw a crowd. A Good SrjGGEsiroif.

managers. When tho overlings aro eo pleasant, and tho coolncrs of tho atmosphere so grateful aft3r tho boat of the day, people prefer to enjoy it rather than saek Indoor recreation, which is often attended with tho die. comforts of a crowded apartment in worm weather. In dian Punkas, patent vcntdlatora and other refrigerating attachments, may do a Uttlo towards reconciling amusement loving public to their favorite resorts in warm weather, but extra attraction is needed to keep up tho attendance during tho heated term. Actors, like other peoplo, require a little rest, and tho theatres havo usually defied for a low weeks in summor.

But of lata years, adyentuxo ua managers have reoponed tho temples or a "summer season," and by judicious management have xnado it as profitable as the regular season. Tho proportion of the population of our large citios, which goeg out of town ior tho summer is vory amoU, and does not come from the class which is tho chiof support or theatres. Bummer vacations at tho theatres hay? latterly become very short, and are occaaionaUy diar penned with altogether. As to tho summer intentions of managers Hooley and Conway, wo have no information. will not run off to rusticate whilo their houses continue to be so well filled aa they havo been, latterly.

At THE PABK THEATEE legendary and spectacular drama has proved tha trump card of tho season. For tho six nights Faust has on, the receipts have bcon greater than during any previous week since the Park has been opened, and tho fullest house was on Saturday evening. Tho piece is ono is attractive from its novel plot and situations, aided by music, splendid scenery and costumes, and mechanical elects. It had a very long run whon nriuinallv nroduced at tho old Broadway Theatre at tho Pari Theatre tho piece is as well mounted and cast, and with the limited stage room wonders have beon dono to producing the spectacular effects. The actors improve their parts, the magical changes work with more facility, the music is better, tho chorus more harmonious, that the performance is much moro enjoyable than first.

Miss Emily King is making rapid strides in her role of Lucelta, a litfio more vivacity would improve her Btyle. Mr. Murdoch has greatly improved, too, In bis rolo of TFajncr. His conception of the pedanteo, but light hearted scholar, is excellent and well sustained. Mr.

Vincent's Count CaBsenova is amusing, but on Italian nobleman ought to havo moro dignity. On tho other hand Mr. Bow has too much' dignity for an innkeeper. In tlie last scene, when Mephistophelcs olaims his own end tho palaco disappca Adine falls fainting in tho front and remains there till tho curtain falls, on the terrible ririon of Pandemonium. This suggests thoincm giuous idea that Adine goes to Pandemonium with Panst, and also excites painful apprehension among tho audience for tho personal safety of Mrs Conway, who appears to be directly under ths descending showers of briulcnt fire.

It would bo hotter if she rotirod with tho rest of the characters. Tho wood and Btraw piano has been restored to favor. is not to our taste, though wo admit the performance very clover; still wo would rather seo Mr. Sania display his musical talent on some worthier instrument. But the audiences like it so wcU that they oncore solo nightly, and what more could musician or re.on.

ager ask? Faust again to night Ior thOBe who prefer lighter entertainment, who havo an ear for music, aud a relish for broad humorf there aro hooley's MXNSTBELS, just across the way, their rendezvous so conspicuous that the wayfarer could not go astray. There is tho bis lamp in front of the entrance on Court street, and tha illuminated sign on Bcznccn street; which must oost a good deal fcr gas bills. Hooloy is the pioneer of the permanent entertainments in Brooklyn. Previous to Hooley we were at the mercy of wandering managers, who mado occasional raids in Brooklyn, gave us slip shod performances by third rato artists, and carried tho money they made out of tho city. Hooley ventured on hie experiment about two years ago, and bis success has been complete.

He started out with au excellent company and has kept it up to the be3t Btondard ovor since. Professional minstrels aie rather erratic luminaries, flitting from placo to placo, and Hooley has presented a succession of new faces. The changes have been designed to improve the troupe, have generally been for tho better, though not in every instance. The only prominent member of the original company now remaining is Archy Hughes, and he appears to be too great a favorite to part with. A minstrel troupe is put together much Bkoa theatrical company, there being different roles to sustain, and the beBt company is that which presenting tho greatest variety of talent, works together moat harmoniously.

Kegro minstrel performances aro divided into two parts, the musical and the burlesque, requiring good singers and good actors. The acting, what there Is of it, Is tho broadest kind, still there aro degrees of merit in it The instrumental music is littlo more than an accompaniment, but if good, adds to tho success of tho company Hooley has now three or four good singers in his troupe. J. A. Herman is ono of the best tenors in this profession.

Ho has a clear, ringing voice, of great power and com of Sawyer and Foster in a Tory effective manner, and his voice ia heard with fine affect in chorus. G. A. Patterson is a very pleasing tenor, looking power, lint agree" able to tlie ear. Nevera ia a flue baritone, clear and sonorous and well modulated.

Lewis, toe alt3, is interesting es a curiosity for a male voice. The ''funny business," which is to tho majority of tho audience the most attractive feature of theso ontor tainmentB, dcvolvcsupon the "ond men," as the tambo nne and bones are technically tanned, and too "middle man," Archy Hughes, ia tho star of this trio, and ho tag never suffered an eclipse. The two end men requiro to be well matched, not like a toam of horses both as lilre as possible, though they are a team that must pulj well together. They should differ in such a way toafc each should act as a foil to tho other, and draw each other out. Purdy and Manning are also vory clever.

Stage dazMes like atago Irishmen and stage Yankees, are very unreal, yet the most successful delineators of either, have been thoao who have seized hold of some prominent characteristic, and have distinct and pronounced siyle. Griffin tha middleman, on whom devolves the duties of stage manger, understands the business thoroughly, nd brings oat tho talent of the company very well. His burlesque of the Davenport humbug, w3, however, an exceed, ingly clever thing. Tho instrumental part of the entertainment is mode quite a feature at Hooley'e who has somo good musicians jn his band. Haplam, tho jSoehm flute player, is an rriist of eminent ability.

In the limited sphere of minstrelsy it tsxeg the ii ven tivo powers of a manager to produco continuous novelty; manner Hooley changes his programme once a week, end gives ts much variety as possible AU the new songs pro introduced, nnd jokcB and burlesques on tho current events and topics of tho day. To niht Charles Carroll Bawyci's now song, "Swinging in the Lane," will bo Fnrg by Herman. Tho melody iacoedinsly ploasing and will become vory popular. Mes. "Wood's Oiraric.

The Aladdiu revival at Hrc. John "Wood's new Olymric is having a run that bids fair to rival the succcbh ol "Our American Cousin." Tuo ir manageress has not been content to drift merely on this tide of fortuno, but sho has added additional attractions, strengthening hor ballot corps by the engagement of Madamo Annett: Gollctti andMona. Tophoff, tho most eminent artists in that line of business in the country. OmiiibUBBes from the Fulton Ferry pass tho door of this theatre. It Vill be observed, tliat for Borne time rest sevord prominent citizons of Now Tort ond Brooklyn, attracted by tho wonderful nrcnlfea talione pcriormod by spiritual mediums, sot taemsoIve3 to the to Bk of endeavoring to flndacluo tothemodua operandi by "which those manifestations" were made.

But as ho never gave to the public his experience, or how tar ho was successful in his endeavors to unravel the mystery, it must be presumed that ho still remains in the dark concerning it. A. few even, inga since the popular manager of Our Opera House being of a skeptical turn of mind, invited few of hie personal friends to a. seance" ot his residence.

The "Southern Confederacy" from an English Point of View The First Campaign against Richmond What the South Gained by Delay 'Severe on HcCIeIIanThe Joalousr between Hill and Stonewall JacksonTheir Wives at the bottom of it. The leading article in the current number of the Xondon Quarterly Review is devoted to thi prospects of the Confederates.

The Eeviewor with the majority of Englishmen seems to believe that soonor or later the South will establish its independence, but in view of the evonts of the vast three oirs. which have b21ed the anticipations of Europeans, he is frank enough to confess that, while like Cassandra ho is prophesying evil, unlike Cassandra he may be mistaken. Tho most interesting portion of tb.3 essay befora us is that in which the Review extracts from recent English books on the Amer can war, gossip of battle fields, not yet before the public on this side of the Atlantic. The Review tliinks the National Government lost by unnecessary delay tho first and best chance it had of subduing the rebellion. Tho reviewer has a rather poor opinion of General McClel lan.

whom he entitles "Athelstnne, the TJa ready a sensible and worthy man, but slow "fuii cautious in the Gen. McClel lan is censured mainly for passing the winter of 18C1 in organizing his army. Daring this delay the Fedorals, he concedes, increased their strength ten fold, but the rebels increased thcir's a hundred fold. We always listen with respect to the sincere opinion of an intelligent critic, and we do so in this case though that opinion differs radically from ours' The English reviewer believes that McClellan ought to have marched his undisciplined troens against the rebels, because the rebel army wis also rmdisciplintd, and the advantage of numbers was vastly in McClellan's favor, not because the South Jacked men willing to bear arms, hut because the South had not the anns to supply thorn. It is true both armies were undisciplined, and it is true that the advantage of numbers was on our side.

But the reviewer forgets that while undisciplined troops will fight with more than tho zeal, and with all tho steadiness of veterans behind in trenchments, undisciplined soldiers cannot be counted on to attack fortifications, and mere numbers in the absence of discipline, add to the inefficiency of an army makes it only a larner and therefore a more uncontrolable mob. The presence of fifty thousand troops at Bull Eun "after the panic had siezed our army, would have only added to the completeness of the disaster. 'leeu to have "no nioro Bull Kuns," and there has been but one in Virginia, occasioned by the unsteadiness of our forces, though there have been disasters almost as complete owing to the want of ability on the part of our generals The impression left upon the Army of the rotomnc by the officer who organized it and led it within sight of Biohniond, has never faded out, and it has never been more fully shown than during the present campaign. It is questionable if any other army ever collected could have lost fifty thousand men in two in oflectual attempts to assail Kickmond, and stilli without the rest of a day, march cheerfully upon another line, without a murmur, to begin again at another point, which tha army might have reached without the loss of a man, though the army of the Potomac has lost of its number fifty thousand men, and with no substantial success yet to show for its endurance and its bravery. McClellan's management of the campaign against Leo in Maryland is also found fault with.

The Reviewer quotes from a work written by Capt. McChes ney, who spent some time with the Southern army, as follows: did nrinvi asifrxr struggle, but it was neceBSary for him to delay tho fighting a general action as long as possible, so as fo give limo for the divisions which surroundod Harper's Ferry to complete their work there and rejoin him. Ho moved therefore eastward with some of Longstreet's troops, who had been dctaohed for purposes of supply to Ha gcrstown, and passed through Boonsborough towards the Kouth Mountain, where ho hod stationed B.H. HiUanJhis men as a rear guard to check tho Federal pursuit es All this is true, (the Review Bavsl but before D. if Tfili fell back upon South Mountain it is cow notorious that a momentous incident had happened.

It will be necessary to givo lew wordB to tho character ot this General. It Ehould be premised that tho wives of D. H. Hill and Stonewall Jackson aro sisters, and it is generally believed (we know not with what truth) that Mrs. Hill had long urge her husband to do something whereby some poc tion ot Jackson's lustrous tamo might bo acquired by and accrue to D.

H. Hill. Personally there Is not in the Confederate army a man of more dauntless courage than D. H. llill, but he has always been regarded (in Captain Chcsney'a words) as 'impatient of and this he manifested upon tho occasion in question.

Tho orders of Genernl Lee respecting the battle which was now imminent were placed in General Hill's hands. These orders, according to General Lee's invariable practice, were nill. precise, and unresorved. It was, according to Genera. Jjee's view, very desirable to frain a few days, in order to permit General Jackson to iui8h his task at Harper's Ferry, and to allow somo of the many stragglers to get to the front.

General Hill was therefore instructed to take up a strong position at South Mountain. These orders, as it happened, wero diEpleaEing to General Hill, Ho flung them, after reading them, indiguanUy from him, in the belief (as has been urged in hip defence) that they would bo picked up by one of his staff, and carried safely to his quarters. Ba this ub it may, they were left lying where they fell; tho ground was shortly after evacuated by tho Confederates, and occupied by the Federals; General Lee's orders wore i icKed up by a reoepil soldier, and, then value Doing recognised, quickly carried to M'Clcllan. No wonder that Al'Clcllm, commanding according to his own statement S7.1C4, and according to other Federal statements 110,100 menr promised himself an assured aud easy vie tovy over the worn and weary troops bo know to be before him, aud to whoso movements and intentions he now had full information. That this knowledge was in liianossesKion is confirmed by tho testimony which ho gave when examined before a Congressional Comniittoo tome months later at Washington.

Viewed by tho light of the fact that Gen. Leo's orders were in Gen. McClellau'B handB several days before the tattle of SharpBDurg was fought, the imbecility, inertness nnd want of en terpriso of tho latter General aao, wo submit to our readers, incontrovertibly estaoliahod, to the utter amiiliilation of his fume. He dared not mako uso of his large rcseeve undeg Fitzjohn Porter iu tho hattlo of the 17th, he dared not resume, tha attack on the ltilli, and allowed tho enemy to retire unmolested ou tho morning of the as the sole troehy for Washington and New York to exult over, 300 desperately vouded who fell into HcClellau's hands. Capt.

Chesney observes ''1 ho only excuse which can be made for McClellan's timidity as to the use of bis reserves, must lie in the ignorance ho labored under as to tho groat uumerical inferiority of Lee. But, at tho best, there seems something wanting here; and we muBt judge tho event to have shown that his caution at Antietam, as in former nibuinccs, was so excessive as to rob ham of ai'j ohauco oi brilliant What will bo Baid whon Capt. Chesnoy's'sensiblo stric tures are pointed by further knowledge of tho Ciet that tho movements and hatentions of Gen. Leo wero as well known to McClelian as tkoy wero to Lee himself. Lot our readers beware of comments based upou learned between Leo and tho great Frederick, or htonewall Jackson and Napoleon Buonaparte, bnt uliich lack that insight into tho dobils and incidents of each of these groat battles which cau entitle tho commentator to pass judgment upon them, kneugh for ub that General Lee, who for two yours has been the greatest living authority upon tho subject of American war, points proudly to tho battlo of Sharps burg as Uie brightest flower in his wreath.

The Jierieio we believe confounds the battlo of Antietam' with that of Sharpsburg. Mc Clelliin, it will be remembered, took command of the Federal army otter Tope's overwhelming disaster, after tho army had been driven in a second time upon Washington a dazed and bewildered mob. Leo at tho head of his victorious troops invaded Maryland. McClelian was recalled to command, and Capi. JfcCins nty himself bears testimony to the resuscitation ol heart and vigor which followed.

Mrs Clelku coilcclxng his scattered forces as ho could, followed Lee; fought him sfc ft Aulkfcmi, bet.t him in both battles an rescued the North fioni invasion, Leo being well content to escape across tho Potomac. Ike tattle of. Anttttom was closely coutesteJ. Victory at times seemed doubtful. If ileClel lan hesitated iu calling up his reserves under rorler, let it bo remembered that if ho had est the battle, uponlua reserves toe depended ior saving tho only army which stood between the rebels and absolute success McClelian did not at once pursue Lee into Vir mia; our army was exhausted torn, wasted, ragged the officers even being in many instances barefoot.

He waitod for supplies. As soon as ho got thera he followed up Lee on the eTe of a battlo McClelian was superseded; first an experiment was made with Burnside, then with Hooker and our readers know with what xe no EHE tal of of so of This Taper has the Largest Circulation ot sny Evening Paper published in the United States.

The place is still Lcld by the enemy. Beauregard in command of the place, and ho is known been largely reinforced by the troops lately operating against Grant on the north side of the James. The enemy ho.ve established themselves in earthworks about a mile i'romtne city. Our forces have made successive assaults on these works but have failed to carry them. Secretory Stanton telegraphs that reports wero current that Butler had lel't his entrenchment for the pvrpose of dcslroyir the railroad cor r.cctong Petersburg with Eicluuond, and that while doing so he was surprised by Lee and driven back to his entrenchments with heavy loss.

General Gnvcl hud sent troops to But loi's assistance, and at last accounts heavy firing was heard in that direction. Our army is still divided by the Appomattoxriver, and in view of the large force which is in front of his position is by no means free from danger. It vrculd seem to be the Rebel intention to hold the line of the Appomattox. Before Grant can cross with rafety, it is necessary to tike hurg, which is on the right bank of the river. Petcrsburgh appears to be elaborately defended, as is evident from the fact that notwithstanding oar forces have earned successive lines of entrenchments, the rebels are still a mile from the city, in works so strong that our have repeatedly assaulted thcai in vain.

We have ctartling news from a point nearov homo thru Virginia. It is telegraphed from Kevraik, J. that the three months troops raised in that Slate have bei ordered to Har risburg, the cr.pital of Pennsylvania, with the mw of checking a force of rebels, a small detachment from which is already in theCumber lancl Valley. "Yo gave it as our opinion on Saturday that a movement of this kind miht looked for, but we see no reason to believe that any considerable force is engaged in it. Lee's main aimy is still in front of Richmond we believe.

The rebel object is to divert reinforcements from Grant, and alarm, if possible, the authorities at Washington. While Bailor is on the left bank of the Appomattox, and the strength of the new Hue of defence adopted by Lee is untested, there will be no rebel movement northward, of sufficient importance to justify any considerable apprehension. Mr. Lincoln Endorsed in an Unexpected Quarter. Our local abolition co temporary a few days since published a characteristic article, in which it attempted to show that it was the bounden duty of the Government to inflict signal vengeance upon one Pollard, who is now a prisoner in Fort Warren.

Pollard, it appears, was the editor of one of the Richmond journals, and he seems to have had no desire to face the ire of the Kelel authorities, hence he supported the rebel cause in his paper. Our puerile eotem porary attempted to demonstrate that the national Government would bo fearfully derelict in its duty if it did not punish Pollard. Make an example oi Pollard, it held, and all the rebel editors will be convinced of the error of their ways. We do not mean to deal harshly by our cotemporary. "We believe its logic is tho logic most fashionable in these days.

We have no doubt that if it is made a condition of Pollard's pardon that he 3hallgo South and advocato tho election of Mr. Lincoln, that he will not bo behind either the editor of the Richmond Dispatch or the editor of tho Tork Times in his zeal for Mr.

Though the militia oi this State were not called upon to face the ordeal of battle in Pennsylvania, their presence had no unimportant influence in determining the success of the campaign which rescued tho North from inva sion. Lee's plans before and aft3r the battl Gettysburg were sensibly influenced by the knowledge of the fact, that, tho uniformed militia of this State to tho number of twenty thousand were on the ground to fcako such part in the campaign as might bo assigned thorn. Pennsylvania herself was unprepared to do anything our militia found the cap. tal of that State at the mercy of a company of the enemy's cavalry.

In no part of this State was the call of Governor Seymour for assistance for Pennsylvania more heartily responded to than in this city. Tho call found our militia ready to respond and willing to do so. The Campaign about Got reflects honor upon all who took part in it, and we are glad that a fitting record of the part the militia of this city took in it has been furnished by one of themselves. The little volume before us will serve as a very gracefuf memento ofipimportant services rendered to tho government, and more espesially to a sister State, by the militia of New York, in time of great" peril; and if hereafter the propriety of keeping our State militia upon a proper footing should be called in question, the little volume before us will serve to show the services which may be expected of a branch of the service, reliable in times of disturbance and safe at all times. The indifference of tho people of Harrishurg to the danger which threatened, is one of the most remarkable incidents of this war.

The author of the little volume before us hears testimony to it in many places. "We make an extract on this point: "We expected to see the neonlc everywhere rattsterlng. organizing, arming; and (lie clans, pouring down from Cycry quarter to the Border. AtHarrisburgac3jnphad indeed been established as a renu2vous, but so organized Pennsylvnnfc regiments had reported there for duty. The residents of the capital ifcolf appocrod listless.

The Trades Movement A Complaint. To the Editor of J7 UrooUyn Eagle! Wo believe yon to be a friend of tho working man, and, of course, ready to assist him whonovur it is in your power.

I have a few ideas to convoy to my follow workmen, and know of no better way of imparling them thvu through the medium of your valuable Journal.

Had this ordinance been observed by the City Railroad Company the unfortunate v. not have lost his life. But the Railroad Companies have treated this ordinauce as they have all others that it did not suit them to observe, with contempt, and no effort has been made by the prosecuting officer to enforce the penalty. The Common Council should either have its ordinances enforced or stop enacting them. The City employs a prosecuting officer whose duty it is to see that the city ordinances are duly enforced.

If the incumbent of this office fails to do his duty he should be removed. Tho passage of the ordinance above quoted only serves at present to shift the responsibility for accidents from the railroad companios to the city, and the tas payers may be astonished some of these days by a judgment against the city for damages, in consequence of some acci dent on a railroad car, which might have be9n prevented had the city ordinance been on forced. If the Common Council cannot enforce this ordinance by legal measures, there is another chance for them. The City Railroad Companies are before them asking permission to in. crease their rate of fare.

Let tho Common Council refuse to entertain this petition until the ordinances regulating the railroad manage, ment shall have been obeyed. Tub EouTiccLTUTtAi In notioiuj the opening of the late exhibition we took oc. casion to make a remark about tho manage ment of the Brooklyn Horticultural Society. Some of the friends of the Society feared that ciiticism at that time might embarrass tho Society, the existence of which we were given to understand depended upon the success of the late exhibition and promenade concert. Now that tho exhibition is over, and while the subject is fresh in tho minds of the people, we propose to say a few words about the management ot the Horticultural Society.

The Society has been in existence over ten years, and ought by this time to be so firmly established thatjts perpetuity should not depend upon the success of one exhibition. The Society has adliberal support from tho public and the press. No other pubhc institution of Brooklyn has received more commendatory attention irom the Eagle. Yet after all this coddling' the Society is not firm on its legs. A public institution so long established as the Horticultural Society ought to be self sustaining; if it cannot be made so, then let it go.

It will not An oW i a i the Society to the disturbing influences of the war. The mercantile Library Association is now in so prosperous a condition that it has undertaken the erection of a building wich will cost a hundred and twenty ive thousand dol" lars. The L. I. Historical Society has been founded and grown into a prominent institution since the war began.

We helieve the Horticultural Society can become equally prosperous under enterprising management, and we propose to assist the Society in the work of reformation, because we regard it as an institution worth prcsorviug, for the good it has done and may do, the pleasure it has affordod nnd can afford to onr citizens. We published on Saturday a communication which throws briber light on the causes which have impaired the popularity of the Society. Our correspondent says that during the preparations for the Sanitary Fan an oflicer of the Horticultural Society collected some six; hundred dollars for tie purchase of flowers for decorations, and instead of patronizing Brooldya florists who had been the mom stay of the Society, this ccnt'eman macle his purchases in Philadelphia. If this is true then, tho gentleman referred to should no longer be an officer of the society, he is unworthy of his position. Such proceed ing was disgraceful and enough to ruin the reputation of any body that sanctions it.

Tho object of the Society is to promote horticulture iu Brooklyn, not in Philadelphia. Many other complaints have been made of the munuor iu which the premiums have been awarded and exhibitors treated. Tho public can bear evidence to the want of taste nnd enterprise in tho preparation of the late exhibition. It is for tho members of the Society to say whether these faults the management shall bo fC incuied and the Society resume its career of usefulness and prosperity, or by letting things go on, see the Society prematurely drop out of existence. The PmnADBLfHiA Sanmaei is pro, gressing finely.

Tiio Desertion and Attempted Suicide A Sad Case. On Saturday afternoon, Officer Dawson, of the 42d Precinct, while on bin beat at tho foot of Pulton elreet, saw a well dressed and rathor attractive looking woman waVkinn in an escited manner towards the pior ot tho fcot of the street.

Prom her appearance, tho officer concluded that she was eUher insduo or else laboring under scmo great excitement, and he determined to fol ow her and watch her motious. Thewoman wentrapld. to the eJge of the wharl, and before the ollicer could her, she clasped her hands, gave ono pitooui look upward, iiud thou threw hersolt headlong into the river.
