GENERAL GRANT IN PHLADRLrHIA.-Lieu-
tenant. General Grant left Washington last
evening, at six O'Clock, in special car for his
homo In Burlington, New Jersey, which place
he reached at three o'clock this morning, passing |
through this city about ten O'Clock. He was |
accompanied by his wife and family, and several |
officers Of his staff Judge Kelley, Colonel |
Barton II. jerks and Colonel Price were also |
occupants Of the car by invitation OF the |
Lieutenant General
The most complete arrangements were made by
Albert W, Markey, Esq, OF the Camden ana
AmbOy Railroad, Tor the comfor; OF the distn.
guisbed pas assenger, Gen. Grant expressed himself
highly gratifed with the attentions shown him,
and the preparstions for his rapid transit which
were made by telegraph by Mr. Markley.
A s11Gur MIsIAKE.-A woman, somewhat
advanced in years, was arraigned at the Central
Station yesterday on the charge Of theft. She
gave the name Of Mary, and said she had no
home. The Iwoman was poorly though clcanly
clad and was in search of place as domestic
A men named p. q. O'Conner, the keeper Of an
"intcll,gence Office" testified that the woman
stoned st his place of business; she had bua-
die with her, and upon retiring picked up ano-
theT and carried II away. For this she was ar
rested. The defendant had nothing to say,
except that she did not steal anythingi that sue
had two bundles when she entered the Office. She
was committed in default Of 500 bail to answer.
This Is one of that large class OF petty cases
which, in the aggregate, add largely to the pub ic
expenses. This woman will prOpabiy remain IN
PRISON several weeks the Grand Jury will ignore
the bill unless further evidence is elected, and
she will 20 free. An effort was made several
years since to have a law passed providing Tor
the prompt disposition Of such cases as this, but
IL fell through because Of the want OF proper
attention on the part OF the members OF the
Legislature.
MARKET PRICEs-This morning there are but
few changes to quote in domestic market prices
The continued high price of butter is the subject
Of general remark, and it is suggested on all
hands that butter leagues be again formed
There is a great difference between the price of
pound and roll butter. The same man who
charges sevCnty-iive cents per pound for pound
butter will sell roll butter good enough for the
table for fty-five cents. The roll butter is fire.

! article, and has the advantage Of being "grassi-
| fed" being put up in the summer.
TAx ON CARRIERS REogprs.-The Commis-
sioner of internal Revenue says a carter's receipt
or dray ticket is subject to stamp duty, If signed
by the person for whom service is performed
This would include also the receipt or ticket for
the delivery of coal. Coal dealers and commits
| sion houses delivering goods will have to send a
stamped receipt if they wish IL signed by the per-
son to whom the coal or goods is delivered.
SHOCKING GAccIDENT.-BeDiamin Ong, a brick
msker in the shop OF the National Iron arpS
Ship-buidng Company, at Kaighn's poi9toro
