THURSDAY NEXT.-This day has been
set apart by our Mayor as a day of pray
er and Thanksgiving for the blessings we
have enjoyed during the last twelve
months. The houseless and homeless
wanderers, whose trousers are seatless
and jackets sleeveless, with caps looking
as if they had been the playthings of dogs,
should be remembered. These unfortu-
mates, barefooted and hungry, ought to
excite the sympathy of every heart
Ladies, as these neglected ones pass you
in the street, do not look upon them with
scorn and pronounce against them; but
a., #, as woman only can act under such
circm Instances, and determine to save this
flesh and blood from utter degradation.-
There is . ~ ind moving in each of them,
which moods fro. 'uing only to give society
worthy bo,nors in : replace of dependents.
Let every one extend oelPi''s la4'l anu
be not content with providing for SCI, but
assist these helpless little one>s' though it
be in small way. Thursday is a suta-
BILE day for commencing this good work,
and we trust that collections will be ia ken
up in all of our churches for the relief OF
the poor, and that the fairer portion OF
our community will commence without
delay to solicit subscriptions from our
citizens for this laudable purpose. If the
ladies will only lend a hand, we are sure
much suffering will be alleviated.

PROF. YoUMAN's SECOND LECTURE, be-
fore the Norfolk Literary and Scientific
Institute, was given on Saturday evening,
at Mechanics Hall. The audience was
handsome--especially the lady and portion
ofit-and paid the eloquent speaker the
profound compliment of earnest and in
terested attention. The subject Of this
lecture, to which the frst-on Oryge''-
was mere threshold-the letters "CAD-
MUS gave" to dialogue of PLATo-was
the Chemistry Of The Sunbeam, and the
theme was treated with the ability ola
master of discourse. All force, in
tellectual. animal and mechanical, was
referred to the Sunbeam, actin
, through the ministry OF the Leat--
: The Titanic motive power OF the sum
beam, in it's direct action, was shown ~
The phenomena Of winds, currents OF ain,
evaporation, and the dilation OF minerals
and metals. As our contemporaries where
the Professor has lectured have so fully
vreported his excellent discussions, it is
needless for us to give even an abstract OF
ahem. We can only say that if the In
Nitute proposes to give us other lecturers
entertaining and edifying as Prof
UNANs, their course should be wei
Onized.

ORNAMENTAL WOODEN FLOORING -
The circular Of Messrs. Groebl & Volk-
mar, explaining their new and beautiful
Wood Flooring, has already been noticed
in this column. We observed some very
elegant designs of the different styles of
their Flooring this morning, at the Mer-
chants and Mechanics Exchange We
understand that the various pieces Of
wood of which this ornamental surface is
composed are not fastened by nails or
glue but by tongues and grooves around
all the edges of each piece, which prevents
warping and allows taking the whole
apart to transfer it to another room. We
would call the attention of those who like
nice things in the way of household fix
ings to these elegant designs.
