Ringgslds Coffin, We understand that the

The Iadgenl Sick SOsieiy. From the Sc
cretary and Treasurcr's Report for 1916, we
learn that "through the fundamentally Of this
Society 645 persons during tho past year have
been visited and relieved to a greater or less
degree. To give a correct estimate of the
number of different Individuals assisted would,
at this time, BIO utterly impossible, as there are
many who receive assistance some two or three
times during the season, and hence it is there
is the number that have been mentioned, and
not that there is actually so many different
poor assisted by the Society" Of those visi
ted so have died. The report says, "to at.
tempt at this time to portray the scenes Of suf-
fering and utter desltuton through which we
are called TO pass in the prosecution of our
duties would only excite unnecessary PAIN
and that Sowing to our limited means we are
often obliged to give sparingly, when desire
would prompt us to give TO the applicant with
a munifcent hand" The Treasurer's report
shows the following state Of its finances:
1915, to cash on hand SI94,82; to cash dona-
tons received during last year, S5lS,00; to
cash subscriptions, 1913, l0-total 81 ,025. 80.
Amount paid Managers, S94l 40; leaving
balance in hand, on December l4th, 1916, of
SS4,5s.
PickpOckets .4bou A gentleman, whose
name we could not learn, had S95 in gold sto-
len from his pocket on Tuesday night,
while on his way from Philadelphia to this
city. The theft is thought to have been com
United at Havre- de-Grace, whilst crossing the
river. A gang of notorious English pickpock-
cts were observed on the cars, who no doubt
perpetrated the robbery. On the opening of
the doors of The Holiday street Theatre on
Wednesday evening, large crowd had assem-
bled, and in rush that was made for adms-
sion, gentleman from the Eastern Shore of
Md. had his pocket.book, containing about
$3.50, distracted from his pocket, the proceeds
of u lot of grain he had sold. 1t is supposed, by
knowing ones, that the theft was committed by
the same gang of pickpockets. Take no mo-
ney with you TO the places of amusement but
what you intend spending, and keep look out
for these pickpockets, who have commenced
operations.
SnOp, SEeisLing, &c. We had quite an old
fashioned winter day of it yesterday. Snow
commenced falling about O'Clock in the morn
ing, and before noon the pavsments were COW
cred to the depth of several inches on a level.
A strong northeast wind was blowing, howev-
er, during the day, which caused the snow to
drift in many places, from one to three feet
deep. Last evening mist OF rain was falling,
which caused the crossings of the streets to be |
very bad A number of sleghs were out, and
the merry jingle of their bells was heard in eve
ry direction. We understand that number
of small craft have been blown on shore in the |
neighborhood OF Hawkins Point, by the storm
of yesterday.
Humanity 10 Horses. We noticed yesterday
that the greater number of the OmnibussOs
were drawn by four horses. This we were
pleased to see, and we trust that the example, |
will be followed by all the proprietors of these
vehicles during the present inclement weather. |
These large coaches are too heavy to be drawn
by two horses through the snow and ice.
Inquest. Coroner Bowman held an inquest
Yesterday afternoon, over the body of Miss
Jane Newman, aboHt 65 years of age, who had
fallen down dead near the corner of Poppleton
and Lombard streets. She resided with Mrs.
Detman, on the corner Of the above Streets
The Jury rendered verdict of 'death from
congestion ofthe heart"
Assault. George Crow, charged with assault
ing his wife, Margaret Crow, was arrested by
the western watch, on Wednesday night, and
committed to appear at court by Justice
Wright.
The Courts. The u. S. District Court, and
the County Equity Court, were both in ses-
sion yesterday, but no eases of public import
ance were tried.
anniversary Of the Maryland Siac Bible So
eiefy. The thirteenth anniversary ofthe Mary
land State Bible Society was held on Tuesday
evening last, in the LIST Presbyterian Church
The exercises of the occasion were introduced
with singing reading the Scripture and prayer,
After which, addresses were delivered by Rev
DR.. J. G. Morris and Rev. Dr.. II. V. d.
Johns. DR.. NJ. in an eloquent manner, des-
cribed the many advantages, moral: social, and
religious, enjoyed by the Protestant portions of
Europe, recently visited by him. The eye of
the most casual observer could not fail to
notice the characteristics of society under Bible
influence, by which it is distinguished from a
community in which that influence is unfelt,
and the Sacred Volume repudated and prehl-
bited. The Dr. visit to the Wartburg, the
Castle in which Martin Luther, during his tenn
porary concealmcnt, accomplished the great
translation of the Bible into German, was
profoundly interesting. AS he spoke of the
apartment 'the table, 'the chair, and the
foot stool occupied by the Reformer, in that
momcntous work-we felt a thrill of enhusi
asm for the Bible cause.-the cause of God
and Man! DR.. Johns addressed the meeting in
his usual animated and felicitous manner, pre-
senting thoughts of an important and deeply
