How an Administrator Got Possession.


On 8 ,turday morning female named Patsy
Noble, who resided on Seventeenth street, near
the residence of Thomas Green, Esq, was
buried, and after the funeral the relatives and
heirs of the deceased were barred ou' of the
house by u man known as "English Harry
who had been living with her for some time.
Harry had possession Of the house, and had
called in number Of friends to help him to
keep possession of 1t, and being thus situated,
, he defed them to enter the premises.
Mr.. George W. Harkness becoming aware Of
this state of affairs, went before Judge Purcell,
of the Orphans Court, and lodged complaint,
when the court appointed him the administra-
tor on the, estate but before he went to the
house, number of officers were summoned to
go with him, and Judge Purcell also agreed to
go with the party. This army from the court.
house took up their line of march under the
marshalship Of Detective A. R. Allen, and ~
they proceeded on their journey the force was
the scene of action, where there was also n
considerable force, headed by the heirs and
relatives of the deceased.
After the crowd had been posted around the
house. Detective Allen went to the door and
knocked, but those inside stated that the door
was locked and they had no key. By this time
window was raised by u woman, who inquired
whats the matter" aud she was answered
that an administrator had been appointed OF
the estate, and wished to go In and take an in
ventOry of the effects, and that the Judge o
the Orphans Court was also in the crowd
Some me in the house then said they could no
fool them-uo Judge Purcell was In that crowd
The Judge, who had till now baen standing
modestly back among the crowd, unrecognZet
by those in the house on account Of his havint
on large Leghorn hat, which is unusual TO
him to wear, uncovered his head, and on thu
marble brow being expo ed, the door was i'm
mediately opened, and the administrator ell
tered on his duties.

We are informed that some Of the teamsters

lately killed several COWS belonging to citizens
of the fourth ward, whose chickens, hoes, and
geese have also disappeared in considerable
numbers lately. OF course we-do not mean to
insinuate that all the teamsters are guilty Of
these outrages; but to save themselves from
the stigma. 1t would be well for them to to fer

CLOTHING FOR ARMIES. allowance Of
clothing to our soldiers is much greater than
to soldiers in European armies. Our troops
get one uniform coat and two sack coats year,
and pair of trousers every five months. In
the French army, the allowance for three years
is only one tunic and three pairs of trousers,
while shell jacket is given every two years,
In the Sandman and Belgian armies, the great
coat is expected to la't eight years. But the
great durability of the clothing of European
armies is easily accounted for when we con-
slider the care which is taken to insure good
materials. Every yard of cloth is subjected to
very minute and distinct examinations by
boards OF Officers, assisted by experts who weigh
IL, shrlnk 1t, and examine 1t inch by inch,
against strong light They also srply chem
ical tests to detect the quality of the dye, and
the manufact tories are at all times open to
inspectors, who watch the fabrication at every
stage.

members of that congregation, and assert,
without fear Of successful contradiction, that a
more loyal church could not be found In this
latitude. 1t is true that there are some prom.
inent men In 1t who entertain secession views,
and who do not like DR.. Buffers letters to a
certain Northern religious journal. The mass
of the people, however, do not sympathize with
to its wealth. Aud here let me say that these
very men are not only tolerated, but openly
and largely encouraged by the party in power.
When will the Administration learn that If
they want hearty support and the full conf
dence of the people, they must, in all their
business transactions, give the preference to
their friends? Open and wellknown seces.

Head, reports that, during Monday, the Free
born and the Island Belle made reconnaissance
OF Matthias Point which resulted in the IN
masking Of rebel batteries there, mounting
eighteen guns. As the channel is within five
hundred yards of Matthias Point, the naviga-

Now that their existence is known, they will,
doubtless, be promptly taken care of by the

lives OF countless thousands of their brethren
involved the industrial prosperity and domes,

which supported and fired the roof which
sheltered a nation, in the mad and internal de-
sign of running where they could not rule, de-
clining an equal constitutional participation
in the Government, and yielding themselves to
envious discomfort and baffed ambition, are
the common foes of all faithful, loyal, and
