to what might be done by committees properly

Since the above was put n type, we have
been handed 50, by Mr.. Fogg, one Of the pro-
prietors of the Fountain Inn, Light street, and
also s., by another gentleman, towards aiding
this unfortunate family. We take pleasure in
noticing theSo benevolent charities, and hope
they will be initiated by others.
A TOKEN OF GRATITUDE We yesterday
had the pleasure OF inspecting, at the gold and
silver ware nmnufactory of Mr.. VIM. Cooper,
Holiday street, large and beautifully finished
silver pitcher, intended as a present from the
Rev. r. J. Breckenridge to DIR. Thos, Buckler.
In front Of the pitcher is engraved the words:

gratitude Of R. J. B." The workmanship is
dlIh uliu iClltClS SlCdt GICull
on Mr. Cooper. The cost of the pitcher, we
are informed, is $50,
THE ETHIOPIAN OPERA. 1t gives us plea
sure to inform our readers that the gentlemen
composing the Ethiopian Opera, have arrived
in our city, and intend in 4 few days to open
the Holiday street Theatre, and give US a
touch of their ability. They have Just con-
Guided most successful engagement at the
Chestnut st. Theatre, Philadelphia.
THE GALyASIc BIRD. The story which we
noticed yesterday, of bird which had been
batched from an egg produced by a galvanc
process, proves to be, as we anticipated a ia
brication. 1t seems that it was the coinage of
a Cincinnati editor, who published it as an ex-
ccllent first of April hoax. There was little
wit and less morality in the Publication, for a
talsehood is as nexcusable Oh the first of April,
as if uttered OIL any other day.
THE Observation-Disclosures Benefit for the
Patsbmg Sufferers. NIessrs. Ogden K Weeks,
the proprietors of the large Menagere now en-
hibiting at the corner of Charles and Conway

proceeds Of to-night's exhibition for the benefit
Of the PittSburg sufferers. An excellent oppor-
tunity IS here offered to crafty AUDIBLE curosi-
ty, and at the same'time do an act of benevo-
lence.
The ETHIOPIAN SERENADERs.-Be Of
Mr., Harrington, The concert of ''the Serena
ders' this evening is for the benefit of Mr.. Har-
rngton, the gentleman whose remarkably fine
bass voice has given such great pleasure to the
visitors at the Saloon of the Assembly Rooms.
Go early, or you may be forced to leave with
out obtaining seats, as was the case with many
on Monday. They will appear again tonight
in the first part in citizens dress.
THE FAT Boy. 1t will be seen by adver-
tisement that the price of admission to a sight
of, and interview with, the mammoth child
Jasper, has been reduced to the small amount
of six and a quarter cents. The original price
was low enough, in all conscience, for SO rich
treat, and the present rates will doubtless be
ayailed of to see a child only s years of age,
measuring AZ inches across the chest and 4
feet II inches high, and we'll built in proper
ton He will remain few days longer, and
may be seen over Meacham's auction store,
corner of Baltimore and Holiday streets.
The MUSEUM Mr. T. d. Rice, the orig-
nal "Jim Crow" is playing an engagement at
the saloon of the Museum to crowded audienc-
es. He will appear tonight for the third time,
in the serio-comico opera Of "Otello." 1t is a
very amusing production, and has met with
great success in the Northern cities.

the National theatre in Washington, and the
gIouud, were sold on Monday at auction, for
Sll 600, and we've purchased by Mr.. Rodman.
The lot contains more than fourteen thousand
square feet, and the walls more than million
of bricks.

wthstanding the detention.
