ORPHANS AsYLUM.-The Board of
County Commissioners have made a
donation for the purchase of home
and lot, to be used as home for the
orphans of the city We understand
that an excellent house has also been
purchased to be used for that purpose,
at cost of about 1900, and that the
deed is to be executed to-day. The
property is to be held and owned by
the County, but used for the purpose
above named This, with the amount
of funds the benevolent ladies of our
city have on hand now, and the regu-
lar donation made by the City Council
each month, the fatherless and moth
erless of our city will be provided for
early. The good ladies, whose untir-
ing energy and zeal in a good cause
has at last brought about so desirable
an end, merit great credit and praise.
It was a noble undertaking, and will
save many parentless child from
roaming through the streets without a
home Our people will feel that they
have not given of their money where
it will not do good. The house Sc
lected is two story, having six rooms,
and will at present answer all the pur-
poses well. The.lot is also sufficiently
large for additions to be made, as oc-
casion may require. We think the
Commissioners have acted in com
mendable manner in this matter, and
that their action will fully meet the
appreciation of our people in all parts
of the county.

REVENUE TAX ON LIoUoRs.-The
following decision, which settles some
important principles, was made, a few
days since, by the Supreme Court 1t
may be of interest to wholesale deal
ers in this city:
l. That liquors imported into this
State from foreign countries, so long
as they remain in the hands of the i'm
porter, and in the original casks or
barrels, are not subject to the tax i'm
20. ed by the 18th section of the State
Revenue Law.
2. That such imported liquors be-
come subject to said revenue tax, so
soon as they pass out of the importers
hands, or so soon as the original casks
or barrels are broken by him.
g. That liquors brought into this
State from other States are subject to
tax.
4. That no county tax can be levied

so as soon as it is completed, which
will be in the course of six or eight
days. The mechanism displayed on
the building is highly creditable to
the builders and the several meehan-
les who have been employed on the
various parts of the building. We
congratulate our Jewish citizens on
having so fine structure in which to
worship. The edi6ce is quite credit
to that part of the city, and to the
taste and enterprise of that part of
our citizens.

JEWISH SYNAGoGUE.-The me-
chanics are engaged in placing the
steps that lead into the chapel or au-
ditorium of the Jewish Synagogue on
Seventh Street, which will be ready
for use by next Sabbath we are told
The structure is a fine one, and the
finishing on the inside is exceeding
beautiful. The pulpit is finished so
as to resemble Grecian marble, ex-
cept the pannels, which represent
Italian marble. In the rear of the
pulpit are two Corinthian columns,
painted in imitation of Grecian mar
Bile, with the most elegantly carved
work. The ceiling is high, and di-
vided into exquisitely wrought pan
mel work, with white plastering show
ing in the squares. The glass in the
windows are beautifully colored or
stained, having neat and appropriate
flowers and designs In various colors,
that seem to give the light mellow
appearance. The wood work inside.
doors, seats, &C., are all painted in
imitation of oak, and are finished in
the highest style of the art. In the
rear of the pulpit, there are two slid
ing doors, and upon touching a
spring they part in the centre and
open, disclosing parchments having
Jewish laws written thereon. The
gallery is builded so that the seats
rise from the pulpit on an inclined
plane, thus affording a fine view of
the congregation below. In the rear
of the gallery there is a large recess
which we we're told was designed to
be occupied by an organ. As we had

JUST THE TIoKET.-We had the
pleasure last night of meeting, in the
city, Col. SHANKs, late of the 18th
Regiment of Cavalry, on his way home
from Chicago, to his home in Ohio
County, Ky. He was much delighted
to learn that Gen. HoBsoN had been
nominated for clerk of the Court of
Appeals, with clear field. This re-
duces the canvass to a simple contest
between the loyal Union men of Ken
lucky and the ex-rebels. The sol
diers who fought for the Union will
go for HoBsoN with will, and many
of the returned Confederate soldiers
will vote for the man who fought
against them, rather than for a man
who urged them on to treason, and
then staid at home to let them fight it
out.

RECORDERS CoURT.--There was
but one case before the Recorder yes
terday. John Garvey was found drunk,
and making desperate endeavors to
back his horse on the sidewalk, for
which he was taken into custody by a
police officer, lodged in Castle Oar
ling for the night, and by the Record
er fined 81, with Sc 40 costs. He has
perhaps learned lesson that will do

A QUARREL-A quarrel took place

named respectively Higgins and Muir

Higgins drew pistol and presented
it at the breast of Murtry, and fired,
but Murtry parried the pistol and nc
harm was done, fortunately But for
the timely parry of the pistol, the
young lad would, no doubt, have muir
dered his adversary. Weare informed
that the parties were promptly ar
rested. 1t is by far too common F;
practice in this country for youths tC

themselves in very clever manner,
giving manifestations of diligent ap-
plication and retentive memories.
As in the boys History class, the
pupils stuck pretty close to the text,
which is likely to be the case with
young scholars.
Two boys were examined in Geol-
ogy, with much credit to themselves
and teachers. They explored the
hidden arcanG of the inner earth, with
a familiarity that would have excited
the envy of veteran borer for pc
troleum. The Chemistry Glass, three
girls and one boy, closed the examin-
alton for yesterday.
Miss DR.. Bucket is an excellent
practical chemist, and an excellent
instructress, and her class did her
and themselves honor by passing a
very creditable examination. Indeed
they manifested unusual proficiency
in this difficult and abstruse study,
for scholars so young.
The examination was interspersed
by excellent music, most of the schol-
airs joining, Miss Mclean presiding
at the instrument, and Prof Rice
acting as chief chorister.
The examination will be continued
to-day, commencing at o'clock.
The number of visitors present
yesterday was not so large as in the
schools of a lower grade, but those
present we think were generally
pleased with the exercises.

MY IA II Nj:
A Fable.
BY BA YARD TAYLOR.
POETRY.

Within green and pleasant land
own flyorite plantation,
Whose woods and mcads, if rudelv planned
Are still, at least, my own creation.
Some genial sun or kindly shower
las here and there woocd orth flower
And touched the fields with expectation.
l know what feeds the soil TILL
What harvest growth it Lest produces,
My forests shape themselves at will,
My grapes mature their proper juices.
| know the bramblcs and the weeds,
And know the fruits and wholesome
seeds
Of those the hurt, Of these the uses.
And working carly, working late,
Directing crude and random Nature,
Tis JOY to see my small estate
Grow fiircr in the slightest feature
II but a single wild rose blow,
Or fruit tree bend with April snow,
That day am the happicst creature
But round the borders Of The Land
Dwell many ncig bor, ljnl of rowing;
With curious eye and plying hand
Ab,lt my fields see them moving
Some trcll my choicest heritage down,
And some OF weeds would weave crown,
And bi me wear it, unIcpro, ing.
"Whlt trees - says one; "who ever saw
a grove, kc this, of my possessing?
This vale often is my upland law
This sheltered garden needs surprcssing.
My rocks this grass would never yield,
And how absurd the level field
